Your biggest disappointment after buying a game

I'm gonna go with Spore, and Guild Wars. Both of these made me want to kill myself in the most painful way possible.
Here's something to ponder: You wanna know what disappoints me? THIS ENTIRE CONSOLE GENERATION. Nothing has been so 'vastly improved' as they have promised besides graphics. Almost every game is littered with QTE, games are no more deeper than they were before. Morality systems that just don't make any sense, FPS after FPS is modeled after a piece of mediocre crap only made famous by the millions of dollars marketing it instead of a flash of atmospheric brilliance and GOOD RPG elements of that of STALKER.
This generation sucks. And I blame the media, and a great number of you that gorge into this cess pool.

Battlefield: Bad Company. Just because PSN doesn't connect to dynamic IPs for multiplayer.
The single player seemed like a multiplayer tutorial.

I'm aware of that, but it still feels very static compared to the sort of dynamic environment I had been geared to expect. A series of set pieces wasn't what I was looking forward to. Plus, the morality system was too simplistic and too easy to manipulate.miracleofsound said:
I'm about a month older than you, and at the time all I did for previews of games was watch trailers and look at the pictures in my Dad's copy of PC Gamer. Naturally this led me to think in a similar way to you (I don't think I was even aware of RPG's that much), but I loved it from the get go.dududf said:
It's now one of my all time fav's. Shame about the second.
Most of the games I downloaded through Xbox Live, Peggle being the worst. Money well spent indeed ...
As for actual games though, I was disappointed with every Turok game I got or was given after the first one on the N64 and, even that one was on my "meh" list

Everquest 2 aaaaalllll those years ago. I got preeeeetty bored of it fast, although, that was when I had been playing WoW for a while, which I then went on to play for 3 years... So I guess it's multi-MMO attempt fail for me.
I bought WOTLK for my World of warcraft game having spent 4 months without a subscription (read:too poor to pay) and wasted a good month of my life getting my character to level 80 then realised that all the "amazing stuff to do at level 80" was a tournament grind and raids my gear was too shit to pass group recruitment for... plus I found DKs boring as hell... so I pretty much ended up going back to my "spend £8.99 a month to chat to guildies and fish" routine...
Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex for PS2.
For starters, Ghost in the Shell for the original Playstation is one of my all-time favorite games, the ultimate first/third person shooter, like a cross between Descent and Jumping Flash.
Secondly, I had played a demo of SAC, and it was bloody awesome. The best feature is the cyber-jacking, where you can remotely hack enemies and control them. I would hack an enemy close to me, then use him to mow down his compatriots, who were really rather quick to react to my little ploy, leading me to try different strategies to make the most out of my little meat-puppet.
The problem is, it turns out the cyber-jacking is pared down considerably for the full game. You can only hack SPECIFIC enemies at SPECIFIC times for SPECIFIC lengths of time for SPECIFIC purposes. At one point, I found (after much trial and error) that I was supposed to hack an enemy on top of a crane, during which time I'd have five seconds to take down a sniper on a guard tower. There's no strategy, it's just being led by the hand.
The game's most open feature did a 180 and become its most restrictive. That was just disappointing beyond compare. I traded that damn thing back in practically the next day. Fortunately, even though it was a trade-in, I still got 75% of my money back, so it wasn't that big a loss.

On topic though...I'd have to say Etrian Odyssey for the DS. I mean, I kind of like it and am intrigued by the thought of exploration, but the game requires WAY too much grinding considering it's a handheld title. I guess I should expect it coming from Atlus I suppose. Also, TWEWY but mostly because my girlfriend's dog chewed it up shortly after the second week.
