The biggest Video game let down, of your life.

[Nazulu]

Smash Bros. Brawl. Admittedly I don't even play the wii all that much but I did love Melee to death, it was a fun game that with friends you could waste a ton of time just having fun and laughing. The hype for brawl was what it took to make me stop falling for any hype after for all games. After an ungodly amount of time with a ton of pointless delays this turd is shat out. Slow, clunky and just all around unfun. It takes forever to kill people, every character, even the fast ones, are slow as hell and the inclusions of 'bosses' and ridiculous requirements to unlock things just rendered the game the least fun thing I'd played on the wii up until then even compared to the bloody opening to Twilight Princess. But hey, it had online that'd be fun right? I could play with my friends across the world! However amid the mire of friend codes I came to the realization that even if you had the best connections the game would lag like a ***** every time you played online. The wii in general is pretty bad, hell the gamecube had better games, but Brawl will forever be my biggest let down simply because of how big the hype was, how excited I was for the game and how long I'd been following it. How badly I wanted it to be good and fun. I stayed up past fucking midnight waiting for a release like a bloody retard for it too. Only to find out that it was an utter piece of shit.

You and I are on exactly the same page, same column even. Everything you just wrote goes for me as well, literaly!

What did you think of Zamus making an appearance? I reckon it is such a shite move because she was kind of the reward to see her without the armour when completing the Metroid games ,and to top it off she is stronger with out the suit!

Honestly I HATE the zero suit. It's stupid. Beat the first prime. Look at the model they had for samus, she looked realistic and she fit in with the world, hell she looked plausible for what it was. Then jump to any game after suddenly she's an anime babe with an impossible figure who sould logically snap in half wearing that suit. I can't stand zero suit samus at all.

Oh yeah! I didn't think of that until now. You might have more reasons to dislike more than me and that's a scary thought, since I hate this game with a passion and whoever the hell decided to destroy the Smash Brothers series!

The Zero Suit ruins the ends of the prime games. It's all awesome then suddenly ANIME OUT OF NOWHERE. She looks really, really out of place when she leaves her suit in that zero suit.

Agreed. I think Nintendo or just Shigeru Miyamoto have lost the plot, lost their magic touch when it comes to making great games that is.

The rest of the prime series disagrees with you. Two was aggravating but good. The Mario series may be stagnating but when the few non MARIO SPORTS games come out, they're usually decent. I just wish they'd stop working on crap like ZELDA SPIRIT TRACKS and put that effort on the making the next real zelda game not suck, or make a handheld zelda game like Links Awakening, you know one that doesn't suck.

I'm not saying their all shite games, just not great, good but not great, more flawed than usual, some steps in the wrong direction, redone things badly (especially Mario Kart Wii).

Borderlands. After spending so much time on the forums and listening to all the lies (didn't know they were lies at the time) the game was a serious letdown.

How was it a let down? Plus what lies?

My worst let down from a game?
Final.
Fantasy.
VII.

They promised so much but gave so little; they said there were going to be two different types of cars and thousands of customizations for them. plus the story wasn't very good.

There are two different Turrets for the cars; A railgun and a RPG.

And it was the characters who we were promised would have thousands of customization, Which they do.

I'm sorry for the loss of your brain, but they promised that there would be a shooting car for the pew pew and a dragster car for the vroom vroom. and we were never promised anything in the direction of the characters

 

[MercurySteam]

Fable 2

Yup, that's mine too.

Ditto.

But I think WET wins this award for me. Great soundtrack but amost no replay value.

 

[Ben Legend]

Fable 2... god dammit, games should always get better with sequels. Guess this is what happens when you set the bar to high with the first game.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Sonic Heroes

At the time I was a ravaging Sonic fanboy eagerly waiting that game like you wouldn't believe. Then I actually played it, and it absolutely sucked, marking the beginning of both my departure from the Sonic fandom as well as the downfall of the Sonic series.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Resident Evil 5. After hearing all about how RE4 was so excellent (still need to play RE4) and how RE5 was basically RE4 with co-op I thought it was gonna be the best thing ever.

What I got, was a boring action game with a somewhat clunky inventory. Also it was really easy, I'm supposed to be shit at RE and I've conquered the Professional mode on that game. Most of my deaths either came from clunky ass controls not working in time. Or those cheap little fucks throwing dynamite.

 

[Cosmic Naginata]

Half-Life 2 and most recently Uncharted 2. They just lacked something their originals had (its not originality).

 

[Toothache of Sauron]

COD4. I expected the missions to require some strategic thought. Instead I found it leads you to where you must go, you don't have alternative paths, and the rare mission you have a detour it's short and it doesn't really serve for much. Platformer, kill all that moives. No fun at all.

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

HL2:EP2

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Fallout 3...hear me out. It's still great, but you have no idea of what my expectations were of that game. I was expecting no less than the messiah of gaming.

They removed the one thing that I loved more than anything else...The Elder Scrolls leveling system. They replaced it with standard skill points and "perks". Which pissed me off...I wanted to get better at something...by doing it. The old ES way!

Wanna sneak around? Do it, and you'll get better at it!
Wanna get better at Hand to Hand combat? Go punch something!

Although, the perpetual flashlight, empty indicator, and radio were a godsend.

Fable 2, I had really low expectations for, and it exceeded those low expectation by a large amount. Which means...I fucking loved that game.

 

[BENZOOKA]

You shouldn't be too expectant. You'll more probably end up being content or disappointed.

But, as you so majestically put it, you can "pew pew" with the cars you can "vroom vroom" in. You sir, are and idiot.
