Halo 1 for the PC. It was dull as hell, and everyone was really hyping it up. I had more fun ,and still do, playing DOOM.
What game disappointed you the most?

Pretty much exactly this. I love all the Bioware games to date, except for this one. It was incredibly generic, and all the morality stuff in it was just..weird. No matter what you did, something would always screw up.."Alistair gained 5 points...Morrigan losses 22 points......grr" or "-picks choice-..Alistair: Blah blah smartass comment blah blah happy blah....Alistair loses 10 points....wait, what?!"Julianking93 said:
Borderlands. It wasn't terrible when i started off and constantly got told it gets better at level 5, it didn't. Then it apparently got better at level 10 and 15, it was exactly the same.
I swear people were just making up random intervals to make me keep playing.
I gave up at around 25, there was no sign of it ever getting better and i figured that was far enough.
Dragon Age wasn't brilliant either. I'll give it another go some time but i'm just struggling to get into it.

Anything beyond Sonic Adventure 2. All the other 3D Sonic games have such disappointing gameplay and stories...
Aion. I was all excited for it, and then it turned into this horrible "Kill 50,000,000,000 monsters to go up one level" thing... and the pvp... oh the horrible pvp... trying to level up at 35, and sudenly find out I can't even leave town cause theres a horde of AP farming level 50s camping just outside -_-
This is going to be kinda long, sorry. Spider-Man 3 on the Wii. Keep in mind this was early on in the Wii's life-cycle, this was my first ever run-in with a dumbed down Wii port. I knew the game was going to be a different build on Wii, but I figured it would be just as good as the 360/PS3 version. Anyways, I was uber stoked for Spider-Man 3. I was actually more excited for the game then I was the movie. I certainly loved the Spider-Man 2 movie, but I put hours and hours into the game.
The game seemed to have a lot going for it at the time. I was mainly looking forward to web swinging with the Wii controller, but the game itself seemed to be shaping up nicely. It sounded like it would have everything from the other version, plus a couple extra villains and the ability to change costumes at any time. I thought the only major differences would be that the city would be a bit smaller, and that the story would progress in a slightly different fashion. I couldn't possibly be any more excited.
So when the day finally came that the game and movie was released, I sat through school giddy as hell. When the final bell rang, I went directly to Gamestop on the way home and picked up my pre-ordered copy of the game. At first, I was actually pretty satisfied with the game. It wasn't what I had imagined, but it pleased my inner fanboy...until the next day I went to my brothers apartment and played the 360 version. I took one look at it and my jaw dropped. Wii owners got completely gipped, and though I didn't know it at the time, this sadly became the norm for Wii ports.
The main problem with the game is that it simply doesn't live up to its promises. They made it sound like it would have all the same features as the other version, which was a downright lie. But maybe this is the wrong way of looking at it, maybe I should judge it for what it is instead of what it isn't. So how is it by itself? Still not very good, but it does do some things right. Web swinging is a blast, the ability to change suits and the differences between them are nifty. Combat can also be somewhat fun, even if the control scheme is flawed. I also like that gangs have their own territories that you can help clean up and claim for the police.
Unfortunately, the game is downright ugly. You can tell the game needed several more months of development before it should have been released. Animations are either stiff or simply nonexistent in some cases, and the buildings are textureless when viewed from more then a few blocks away. Even then, they just look like gray blocks with simple-looking windows on them. And some of these 'crimes' are just stupid. Doing tricks for tourists? Delivering fruit pies? What the hell!? And the gameplay just gets dull after an hour or so as there's not much to do in the city. You can fight crime, do trick races that aren't near as fun as they should be, or collect meaningless items that unlock no award except for a small experience boost. (And I mean small. There's not much point in collecting them)
All in all, I wouldn't rate the game any higher then a 6. It has some really good ideas, but the developers simply weren't given enough time to do what they really wanted. So I don't blame Vicarious Visions, I blame Activision for making them release it with the movie. I understand a lot of people don't like the 360/PS3 version either, though personally I don't think it's at all bad. Not as good as Spider-Man 2 was, but I still have fun with it. And it's certainly better then the Wii version.

The Fable series. Unemotional and generic storytelling makes me a sad panda.
Knights of the Old Republic 2. Stupid Lucas, pushing for a Christmas release when the game wasn't even done. Why I oughta...! *shakes fist*
The Longest Journey 2. Too few puzzles, too much Zoey, too much of that cliche little-girl-horror-trope, too much of that warrior dude, too much of the awful fighting and sneaking mechanics, and not enough of the awesome that was April from the first game. Instead in this go she whines and slaps on some gawthy make up. Come on! Really!? Such a let down after the emotional roller coaster that was the first game.
Fallout 3. It's still fun, don't get me wrong, but the story (especially the ending and the unnecessary death of a certain badass character) was meh. It could have been really epic and that kills me.
Mass Effect. I'll get eye rolls for this one, but I didn't care about anything that happened. I didn't care about Saren so I had no motivation to stop him. I didn't care about my crew and I thought most of them were just annoying. I didn't care about the citizens, the council, or even my Shepard, and I thought the romances were so unbelievably goofy and Hollywood-esque that it was laughable. The quests were tedious, the fighting was boring, the MAKO pissed me off something hardcore, and the item system was silly. Just all-around meeeeeeeeeeeeh.
I am difficult to please.

No f--king kidding, man. I think KZ2 is one of the greatest letdowns of all time.Pr0 InSaNiTy said:
Back when I was 7 at a video store, I saw the N64 box cover of Quest 64. Thought it looked badass and became dissapointed at how dull it was. Especially when you didn't have a memory card.
Halo3 and Modern Warfare 2.
games should be about gamplay, not online multiplayer(although it is a nice feture if used correctly)
think about Halo2 and Cod4, they were FUCKING AWESOME games with the online multiplayer not forgotten.
Halo3 and MW2... wheres the campaign?
also, I somwhat like MW2 because you dont have to to play as soap till the vary end(I hate him SOOOOOOO much)

Operation Flashpoint : Dragon Rising,
Spending the full £40, I took it home with nothing but high hopes, for intense battles, amazing gameplay, variety, brilliant graphics and AI That DOESN'T BLOW YOUR OWN COCK OFF EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A MOVE.
The advance teammate controls were intollerable.
The maps, Although HUGE, Left too much to hate.
The AI - Piss off.
The Action - Repetative
The Realism However, Sure, I like the idea, I can only take so many bullets.
ON THE CONTRARY,
I DON'T Like the idea,
That they can take 7, yes 7! Pistol shots to the noggin before realising they're meant to be dead.
Overall, Just a tragedy.

Mass effect i went in hoping for a prettier KOTOR instead i got a "simplified" version that had by far the worst casting system i have ever attempted to use and the abilities sucked which made me cry a bit on the inside
