Oblivion(unmoded)
After the usual hype and facination I discovered how overhyped and shallow RPG it is. The action part is neat but the story is bland, loot and leveling appaling and unrealistic to be fair. The Theme(cyrodil's scenery and culture etc.) on other hand might be justifed because in TES it is the most generetic province.
But thank the moders for making great mods that holded me for couple of months.

Halo 2 as it failed to live up to the original and I didn't like the fully regenerative health.
Halo 3 for it being so damn short and easy compared to other I mean I finished the game in less than 3 hours on normal...
Final Fantasy 10 as it was good in it's own rights I loath the sphere grid system with the burning passion of thousand hot suns and wish it be crush in the dark abyss of a black hole.
Final Fantasy 12 for license board copy and paste what I said above.
Reason for that being I felt it added too much unnecassery grinding to the game that was never in the others sure you had your fair share but nowhere near the extent in those two titles.
Bullet Witch, Legendary, Kingdom Of Fire Circle of Doom, Dark Sector, Blacksite, all were bland buggy and badly made thank god I bought them all preowned for less than 20euro at the most.
Also Far Cry2 as it got completly boring and repetitve and the story is a complete cock slap especially about your buddies and not just once with your buddies but TWICE.

Spore, Spore and SPORE! Biggest let down of my life... I followed it's development thinking it would be epic, the original game-play videos looked wicked and then I finally got my hands on a copy........... *Kills self* They seriously took almost every element that would have made the game slightly challenging and look 1000x cooler and threw those elements out the window to make the game 5yr old friendly.... Curse you lionhead.... curse you....
Silent Hill: Homecoming and I know that I shouldn't have been because in my opinion the series hasn't been the same since Silent Hill 3, but even so, I found myself hoping that it could at least hold its own against silent hills 1-3 but it didn't. I completed the game once and never picked it up again. That and Devil May Cry 4 (even though it wasn't as bad as DMC 2)
come now, though it was probably the weakest of the trilogy (gonna gracefully ignore the other "j&d" releases), jak 3 was still a great game. ok, the difficulty curve was stupid, but it had some breathtaking features and a quality story.xscoot said:
sly 3 was more of a let down for me. i managed to complete it, but only because i felt like i was betraying the effort i put into the first 2 games otherwise.
definitely agree with you on your ending point.
OT: recently KOTOR2 let me down, only just bought the 2 games a few months back and loved the first one. expecting a similar/better experience from the second, i was disappointed. among other problems, i cite kreia and in particular that bastard technician bao-dur for having voice actors which made me want to smash my computer.
the claptrap robots in borderlands
huuuuuuuuuuuge let down
but it gets a little bit of humor back if you try to see the thing as a huge movie, like the claptrap trailers imply

The Conduit. I wasn't expecting much, and it didn't even deliver that.
Nintendo: "Gee, let's make a console specifically designed for pointing and shooting, then make terrible controls for every FPS out there so you can't turn and aim simultaneously"
Then along comes SEGA, and they aim to fix that with fully customizable controls.
But SEGA, being the geniuses they are, forgot the fact that the system they released it on is called a Wii for a reason. It's so you can play it WITH people. But, guess what? NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. So if you wanna play this average game, then better get every friend you have to buy a copy and a Wii and then logon from their house and then call you on their cell if you wanna have a multiplayer experience.

Star Wars the force unleashed; it destroyed what optimism I had left that lucasarts could produce a good product.
Prototype- game got very boring very fast.
Halo 3- multiplayer wasn't as fun as people claimed.

Brutal Legend. Not saying it was bad, it's just the story seemed to take a big hit because of all the lawsuit bullshit and such. Though a certain Final Boss defeat cutscene certainly made up for it.
Before music games were overly HUGE, I was really interested in Konami's Rock Revolution game. Think about it. They made Drummania which was on the level that Rock band has been on in the US. It's been a series going strong since the 90s and Konami invented the music genre!
Imagine my chagrin when they have no license to the music, there's no good J-music (far different from the J-pop crap that people hear), and the game just wasn't what anyone would like.

The big bold red lettering was pretty much the winner here..Onyx Oblivion said:
I loved F3 + TESIV (claim in the title of God's Gift to Man) and many people didnt like them.
