Your biggest disappointment after buying a game

[MiracleOfSound]

Fable II.

I'd gotten really hyped up about how the consequences of my actions would affect the world around me, and I was expecting to see environments change the way it had been described, but, then, I found Thag's camp was constantly full of the same thieves I had beaten in the first quest and I realised it was just another game with respawning enemies.

The enviromnments do change.

You just have to wait until the halfway point of the game for it to happen.

Bowerstone old town is the most extreme example, and you can see that one right at the start if you want, it all depends on whether you gave the wanted posters to the guard or the thug.

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.

Hmmm well I reccommend you Red Faction: Guerrilla, if you enjoy making a dent on the environment, it's very satisfying knocking whole towns into dust(though you can't affect the actual terrain itself)

The morality system in Fable 2 was definately broken alright, you could murder an entire village and then a become an angel by farting at a few people and having sex with your wife.

Twin Caliber.

Worst game i've ever tried

Ninety-nine nights. I was bored before I even got to play. And it had stupid AI, lame combat and overpowered bosses. A strategy game without strategy.

EDIT: But then again, I got it from the garbage bin. So I didn't really have high expectations.

Hi,

What is your biggest disappointment after buying a game ?

Me, I wish I had not bought Warhammer 40000 : Dawn of war 2. I found this game boring as hell !

And you ?

Ah, I suffered from that same dissapointment, however! A new update gives a new game mode (the Last Stand) which is quite fun...give it a go...

Turok: I usually enjoy unabashedly terrible games to feel smug when I uncover a glaring flaw, so I thought that I would haaaaaaaaaaaaaate Turok. Sadly though, it was such an unmitigated disaster that I got ten minutes through the game and stopped. It was so terrible it wasn't funny.

Section 8, It was so fun then I finished its 2 hour campaign...

I once bought Command and conquer 3 on the 360. I learnt two lessons with this, C&C 3 was not any better then C&C Generals and under any circumstances DO NOT buy an RTS for a console.

Goldeneye Rogue Agent
bleugh

blatant atempt to use the m64 clasic to sell crappy game...

shadow the hedgehog for me...

Did anyone else notice that on the box for that game they had this awesome looking gun that never actually appeared in the game. I was disappointed about that.

Also, whoever said Stalin Vs Martians, you win this thread. That or "Worst Game Ever". It was such a piece of crap.

i was actually dumb enough to buy sonic and the secret rings for the wii thinking it would be alright, little did i know its probably one of the worst games out there for the wii

 

[DrunkWithPower]

Sacred 2. I had hope for a joy in a plastic box but I got a little fun with PS1 graphics. "Nice jumping skills.... Oh, physics called and ordered a nice bullet for your temple."

 

[AfterAscon]

The biggest one I remember is a Mortal Kombat game on the N64. I immediately hated it, despite loving the original, and took it back as soon as I could.

More recently I was kind of disappointed at Operation Flashpoint 2, but I kept playing and its grown on me.

 

[teh_n00b_root]

ive got to say fable 2

 

[A.I. Sigma]

The new Spyro games. Ever since it moved to the PS2, it's been a disappointment. The most recent one in particular was bloody awful...and yet my childhood memories still make me cling to the hope that Spyro will be good again once more.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Rainbow Six: Covert Ops: essentials. (Yes, I played Fable 2 on which the only disappointments were the lack of difficulty and the lack of a good boss fight (like the one against Jack of Blades in the original Fable) (I'm counting the flooding of the market withe experience potions and the easiness to get huge piles of money with the difficulty).)

 

[Rooster893]

[PROTOTYPE]. After I played a demo of inFamous at a local gamestop, I realized that Prototype was just a mere copy of that game.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

When I tried Mechwarrior 2 for the playstation, after losing the computer version.
-The soundtrack was murdered
-You can't customize the mechs!
-The animation is screwy
-Half the functionality is removed

 

[Eric_Autopsy]

Spore.
Do I really need to further explain why?

Red Alert 3.
Oh god that came unexpected that EA managed to ruin yet another one of my favorite series.

And also (even though I borrowed it) GTA4. ''Ohmygodthisissolameandireallydontwanttoplaythisanymore'' was the first word I said after I finished what seemed like three hours worth of tutorials.

Fable 2, biggest problem with it, you cannot look like the evil guy on the box, also no armor, no final boss, mostly linear, other lesser problems.

Assassins Creed, got really repetitive really fast, but the sequel looks promising.

The Force Unleashed, same as Jedi Outcast and Jedi Acadamy with more outfits better graphics but less force powers.

Any game made by Square Enix- Turn based combat is meant for games like chess, not a videogame, unless its chessmasters or something. Even the ones that are not turn based still suck hard. Long live Tales of Symphonia, and Vesperia!

Project Sylpheed- Worst space combat game ever, you can barely see your ennemies, but I got it for 5 bucks so.

Dark Sector- Cutting people in half got boring after a while.

 

[tehweave]

Trace Memory for the DS. I was expecting a creepy horror story with some interesting gameplay puzzles.

Yes, I got gameplay puzzles,
The story wasn't terribly scary, but very interesting...
And the game was done in an HOUR.

Huge dissapointment. I was told at the end I didn't find everything, but part of me didn't care.
