Master of Orion III. I tried so hard to like that game, really I did, but it stubbornly refused to let me.
Customizable planet production, which then automatically "fixes" your poor or unbalanced decisions? Check.
Variable-response race relations, which boils down to giving the appropriately nice-or-Klingon-style-meanie response over and over and over in order to retain relations between fair and neutral? Check.
Fully customizable battle ship production, which you send out into space battles with long-range weapons that end the battle before the camera even zooms in enough to see the little buggers as anything other than a gray square? Check.
It's everything you want in a buyer's remorse game: the promise of so many great things, executed so poorly that you wonder if the guys who made MoO2 got shipped off to a gulag or something.

I was a bit disappointed in Halo 3, myself. I still greatly enjoyed it, but still disappointed me. For one thing, it had absolutely nothing of the same feel as the first two, and it also seemed a bit rushed, like it could have been more fleshed out and better put together. That's something to watch out for, though, when making a series of games out of a single very good and highly successful one: they pretty much use up all the awesome in the early installments and end up with mediocre stuff in the later ones. Anywho, back from my little tangent now...Eliam_Dar said:
Final Fantasy VII. I loved FF3 (I'm not calling it 6, the cart is on the shelf a few feet from me and it says "III") and was hoping for another crazy adventure with a huge colorful cast of characters that all had unique gameplay mechanics and what I got was a bucket of angst and CGI.
It was the moment the JRPG died for me.

Final fantasy 13.
"Get it! I promise it's nothing like all those other FF games you've hated!"
"But it still looks like something I would hate"
"Don't be such a close minded idiot! Just buy it! I PROMISE you won't regret it."
I was lied to. That game....grrrrrrrrrrraAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I have to go to sleep at night knowing I could have gotten Crackdown 2, but instead I caved in to my woman's incessant nagging, and bought a game I knew I wasn't going to like. Honestly though, I hated every second of it.

This. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising too. Im a sucker for post apocaliptic/realistic military games.Worgen said:
Bikini zombie slayers. Oh man, I hoped that it would be full of cheap laughs (to make the $10 I put down worth it) and bouncing boobies. I played it for about an hour or two and got completely stuck. It was such a bad experience, I couldn't find out where to go and I had that life draining blood rage thing going on, so I just stopped playing it. Such a bad regret.
