*Duke Nukem Forever landslide incoming*. For me, it has to be Brink. It looked SO promising back in 2010, but when i finally played it, twas a fucking atrocity.

^ as much as I hate to say it, This

Or Call of Juarez: The Cartel. Which as to what I heard was supposed to be a western game, seemed like it was in 2011 and had modern weapons. The storyline seemed like something out of a police officer movie, and I hated the gameplay alltogether (1 hit kills and the "realistic" health system. I stopped playing this after 45 minutes or so because I just hated it even after going in unbiased.

The Witcher 2 basically encompasses everything I dislike in RPGs. A bad inventory system, tons of wandering around aimlessly, a clunky combat system, and a story that I really couldn't get into at all. The main character is one of the most bland and lifeless protagonists I've ever seen in a video game as well. He somehow manages to be incredibly angsty AND a lifeless husk of a person at the same time.

I hate myself for this, but... Shit... I agree. I want to love CDProjekt-Red but that game just... Urghhh! It's like they didn't learn anything from Witcher 1. The whole UI just reeks of a lack of playtesting. It's such a shame because it had the potential to excel where all the previous RPG releases of the last couple of years had fallen short. Real shame.

OT - Darksiders. What a fucking paint-by-numbers POS. Not a single original idea in the entire game.

Hold on let me check my games collection...

Yeah Far Cry 2, i tried to like it again this year but all the small bad design choices just came together into one big "fuck this i'm out"

You can't stealth anywhere, machete kills alerts people to your presence (rather than say being silent as you'd expect,) They like to throw enemy jeeps at you far to often, the driving is shit (since you'll be staring at a map 80% of the time) and is friendly AI really that hard Ubisoft?!

Oh and if all the cars get blown up during your attack of a random fortress/farm/airfield/what have you, enjoy your 40 minute hike back to the nearest car...

On the bright side actually attacking a fortress is quite fun! So that's 10 minutes of fun followed by around an hour of the shit described above before the next 10 minutes of fun

Also LA Noire, specifically the ending. See this is why a team of writers is infinately better than just one guy (correct me if i'm wrong but i'm sure LA:N was written by one guy)
