Gears of War 2, I was just disappointed with the multiplayer, thought the campaign was alright actually.

Sniper Ghost Warrior... God, it's such a shame that it was poor . I pre-ordered it before the reviews came out so I thought the game was going to be pretty fun. I played it on realistic mode for the full experience, it was hard as hell but I kept playing through. Don't get me wrong, there are some brilliant bits in the game. But when you have to use an assault rifle in the game it's ridiculous. There's a certain bit in a level which was near to impossible, seriously it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my 12 years of gaming. Multiplayer isn't so bad, could be better, just hope the developers of the game learn from their mistakes.

Far Cry 2, everyone has basically said everything about it so i'm not going to write about it.

Halo ODST

Prince of Persia, MAJOR fan of the PoP series, but the newer one with the shadow monsters was such a letdown, trying to forget about it... The Forgotten Sands was much better though

That's pretty much how I feel. The game isn't bad, it just feels like it could have been so much more. They dumbed everything down to the point that it isn't even recognizable from the original gameplay demos and such from 06.

RE5 I would have to agree was a great game, but overall was disappointing because of the "action" element. Things didn't seem like they were there to scare you, but more over to be action oriented. Really hoping if devs are working on an RE6 they go back to RE1, RE2, and RE3 for inspiration seeing those elements that made you wonder what was going to happen. With RE4 it was a great game and help innovate as well keeping things fresh. However some things did feel a little unnecessary like the action cut scene between Leon and Krausser.

Call of Duty: Lobby Warfare 2. I probably spent more time in the lobby than I did actually playing the game because the game craps its pants as soon as it has to deal with a party of 2 or more people. Quite ironic that a multiplayer game struggles with multiple people. Once you finally get into a game, it's full of annoying stuff like stupid killstreak rewards, dual wielding shotguns that kill in one shot from about 70 miles, terrible spawn system that spawns you beside enemies or right underneath an enemy harrier, and people knifing you from about 10 or 20 feet. The list goes on. It's a shame really, because the core game is fun to play, but there is just too much annoying fluff and technical issues.

Dawn of War 2. I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign, but after finishing it there is no reason at all for me to play the game at all because they completely murdered the skirmish/multiplayer mode. It's just not fun anymore. I still play the first DoW these days and haven't played DoW2 in probably more than a year now.

I would say Fallout 3, but it introduced me to the series, and I liked it for what it was when I started playing. I would say Oblivion, but I haven't played it. So Bethesda is safe.

Baldur's Gate (and ToSC): I'm not finished yet. In fact, I'm in Durlag's Tower and I'm just burnt out on the game- it's so damn boring. God, I hate Infinity Engine so much (PST offered me more incentive than BG to struggle through).
Fable 2: It took everything that was wrong with Fable and made it worse and more plentiful.
GTA IV: Stopped playing in 2 hours into the 1st play session. It bored me. =/
Dragon Age: Origins: It's an Infinity Engine game with another name. And not in the good way. Filler combat is plentiful, tactical combat is nonexistent, and the combat goes at a snail's pace during tougher battles (you have to pause).
The Witcher: As much as I hate RTWP (and I hate the mess he left on me floor), at least it's something. The Witcher just has quick-time events for combat and if the first hour is any indication, the game is FILLED with combat. At least I finished DAO.

Exactly. Personally I thought Valve perfected the formula with Left 4 Dead, and there was no proper way to make a sequel. L4D2 didn't add anything that couldn't have been added to the first game via DLC. Then again, I thought a LittleBigPlanet sequel would be impossible, but Media Molecule sure proved me wrong.

Force Unleashed , thought it was going to be the [censored] but I was very disappointed.

GTA IV disappointed me, but not at first. I enjoyed playing through the game for the first 30 or so hours, but then I realized how incredibly boring and lacking in things to do it was in comparison to it's predecessors. They made the game far, far too serious, and the only "fun" vehicle to drive was an attack helicopter which couldn't do much damage anyway. Whereas it's predecessors had monster trucks, tanks, parachutes, commercial airliners, private jets, tanks, jetpacks... the list goes on and on. Don't forget about the fun cheat codes they had (no gravity, everything moves faster than normal, etc), while GTA IV had phenomenally standard cheat codes (Spawn vehicle, infinite ammo, change the weather, and boring stuff like that). GTA IV was a disappointment for me because it wasn't nearly as fun as it's predecessors. Luckily Saints Row has picked up where GTA left off quite nicely, and unless Rockstar get's it's act together with GTA V I'll just play Saints Row 3 instead.

I've already posted, but what the hey. Oblivion, with the way everyone here fanwanks the game I was expecting a masterpiece, but to me it just seemed like they took all the good bits out of Fallout 3, leaving only the crappy dregs.

One of those came out before the other

I know.

You saw people praise Oblivion... here of all places? You must have asked in Oblivion discussion or something, because anywhere else the topic would have erupted into a flame war of people bashing it. If you did ask in the Oblivion forum, well, I don't know how you expected to get anything but a biased answer.

No joke, my worst let down was Oblivion. Too many limitations and too many things was cut-out from the E3 trailers.

Other than that, Halo:ODST. Boy that game is boring. I love Halo 1+2+3 and those are on my list of non-forgettable games, but ODST is just too slow and boring. Not only is it another character, but there was really nothing new to see in this game.

Red Dead Redemption

i thought "Oh yes Grand theft auto in the wild west, this might actually be a good idea!".

The physics and graphics in the game were great, but everything else felt blah. It didn't have that "Rockstar Game" feel to it, for a game in the west, it was very clean, and you basically played a good guy when it came to the story, which half of it was living ordinary cowboy life, i want to rob banks, not gather cattle.

Oh, goodness, yes.

TESIV Oblivion -- I did the Dark Brotherhood quests first, so that sort of set the bar... which the other faction quests and the main quest failed to meet. It was a surprising disappointment. The main quest end was also quite a let down, as well as post-crisis Cyrodiil's NPC's behavior. In fact, pre-crisis Cyrodiil felt distinctly laid back and relaxed.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary -- I had enjoyed Legend, but Anniversary felt lonely, contrived, and had a horrible camera. I couldn't finish it.

Silverfall -- they said it was mediocre to bad, but they never mentioned the poor dialog translation! Lost interest in playing.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto -- Could not get the hang of the controls, especially for flight: thus, I failed even the first quest. PS2, PC, I've tried both versions with no success.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within -- definitely not as upbeat as the other two games, nor was the combat enjoyable. A glitch/bug forced me to restart... but I just couldn't force myself to go through it again.

Oblivion
UFC 2010
NFL 2k6 (because it doesn't exist)
NHL 2k4, NHL 2k9

Mw2 = really disappointing. Infinity Ward encourages camping, cheating, boosting, etc... Note the fact that there is no balance in the game. Some weapons are overpowered and others need a boost. IW = worst company ever!

GTA4 = Disappointed. I love the new engine and the awesome animations. But they completely forgot about improving the game in the amount of add-on in the game. Every GTA game had improvements from GTA1 and onwards. I actually enjoyed GTA3 more then GTA4. Then again they did spent $100million dollars on the game so its nice that they aren't completely in it for the money and do really care about their game unlike Infinity ward. Those guys don't deserve to make that much money. Rockstar was my fav company, before they betrayed Sony. Now they svck. They are making some game no one has every heard of "Agent" for only the PS3. Thinking it'll bring back the respect we PS2 users gave them. :thumbsdown:

Fallout3 = Disappointed. Love the game, but it had too many bugs. I know graphics don't make the game but they really need to improved the engine/ make a new one. The most disappointing thing was; us Ps3 users having too wait so long for the add-ons. Bethesda said that they made no contract with M$. They just didn't want to make it at first. Very dumb; because M$ gave Rockstar $50 million for the timed expansion packs. Other then that its my Fav game on the PS3!!

For me, it would be Gears of War 2 MP, and CoD: MW2 MP. And Halo 3.



:blink:

MW2s multiplayer, GoW2s multiplayer.

What? They just didn't deliver.

CoD4 was boring for reasons I don't know how to explain, I just felt meh from the beginning to the end and never botherd with the series again.
FO3 was too much like TES4 and too little like it's predecessors, the best middleground between those design differences was not found.

It also removed anything fun from #1.


I liked it more than GTA in the west, its got faults, but its a good game, great plot, just wish my morality effected it or had a choice like GTA IV.
Also GTAIV the one thing I think of when I see that game "Coousin beeeg Ammeeeerican teee teees". Hated it.

Borderlands, so [censored] repetative .
Bioshock 2 /Overlord 2 cant even hold a candle to the originals.
Just cause 2, everyone said fun, it was boring.
Mass effect 2, I am dissapointed they wont make a U turn and are keeping the current system from 2 for 3. If it wasnt for wanting to learn the ending of the story, the game would be dead to me.

Current system?..for combat or upgrades or story progression or all of the above?

And yeah, Borderlands is a time killer, best with a few friends and nothing better to do.

Hold on, let me change into something a http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2008/12/flame_suit.jpg

Alright..... I like MW2s multiplayer. The story could've been better and I didn't care for some of the missions but overall I thought it was decent. I've played most Call of Duty games (BR1 being my favorite), and I'll probably rent Black Ops and see if it's solid enough for a buy. The Modern Warfare multiplayer can be really fun some times. Sure you may have to put up with some of those people in the Xbox LIVE community, but I've had some really great times. Why do you, personally, think it was a let down? I've seen a lot of CoD hate on this forum.

Im pretty sure they are keeping the combat/upgrade system the same. I hate it.

Guild Wars. I waited for the game and bought the collector's edition. Then I played it for the first month, uninstalled it and never played since.

I guess I was expecting it to be a whole different kind of game, not totally instanced with outdoor areas between the cities easily bypassed and useless. I even tried purposely not doing the missions and running from city to city to give the game more of the feel I wanted (save for the 1 or 2 cities where you had to be teleported from a mission), and it didn't work.
