The most dissapointing game ever?

Since someone allready had created a best game thread i created a most dissapointing game ever thread.

My nomine is Far cry 2, seriously everything lookied so good in the trailers but than when the game came out we had allready seen the entire game in the trailers, the most repetive game ever!

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Definitely Resident Evil 5. It felt like an entirely different game to me and it ruined my appreciation for Capcom a lot.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Depends what you define as disappointing, if you think that a game that has been incredibly hyped then failed.

Not failed like Halo 3 where it just didn't live up to the hype but was still an excellent AAA game, failed as in Haze which was hyped incredibly but then flopped, even if it was released as an external mainstream game it would of still been given bad reviews.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Well i havnt really played many dissapointing games so the only one i can think of off the top of my head would have to be Super Mario Bros. 2 on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The first one was so good but then the second one was radically different. SMB 2 is still a good game i was jsut a bit dissapointed on how different it was.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

i thought far cry 2 was a good game but i can see why you thought it was repetitive. i think the most dissapointing video game is for me is call of duty WAW. really it wasnt a bad game at all but going back to ww2 felt like a step backwards in the series plus it hard to go back to killing nazis with the m1 and the thompson after i used high powered assault weapons and explosives. really the only good innovation was nazi zombies and revive in multiplayer.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

For me it is GTA4 It just didn't have the same feel as the older ones, and, they made it too real I buy GTA games to do the impossible.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Well personally, not trying to contadict anyone, ODST was waaaay better than three, just my opinion and GTA 4 was my fave for multipayer. The most dissapointing, Resident Evil 4 AND 5 there were absolutely no zombies , las plagas was stupid and ruined every reason i liked the series.

You deserve a high five. I'm glad there are some people out there that appreciate the zombies.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Red Faction: Guerrilla comes to mind. While it isn't a bad game at its core, it had so little to show and was so repetitive that I really thought I was shorted.

Also, Star Wars The Force Unleashed. The combat was horribly broken, it was frustrating, and boring. The only upside to this was the awesome story. But both of these games looks sweet and ended up being crap.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

I would have to say GTA4, not that its a bad game, just that it was overblown in the media and was not in my oppinion worth 10 stars, it does'nt have the originallity or gameplay to compare it to other 10 star games like Ocarina of time.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

unfortunatley i disagree, i believe Red Faction only lacks in difficulty settings, as in the highest is impossible and easiest is more like standard yet still difficult, its hard to feel like it is repetative since a game has never been done like this before, story is short but strong and not unbelievable or boring, multiplayer is the best i have ever seen in online games, thier are so many different options and many tactics you can use in this game, and it redifines the term sandbox games, but this is about worst games ever, i think that personally games that are based on previosly released movies are terrible, and fallout brotherhood of steel was F ing disgusting, but the worst of them all was virtual boy, terrible console. Halo 2 was bad also, odst fails because it is nothing new, i hate how bungie is so lacking for imagination

Let's discuss these one at a time, shall we?

Plot:

They dropped the ball on this. Honest to god, it's a game about a rebellion of miners on Mars, and they somehow made that boring. Mainly, it was the lack of cutscenes. Hell, watch one or two trailers for this game, and you've seen clips from all but like two of the cutscenes in the game. It was pathetic. Also, it was just bland. The story rarely ever took any twists, and the one time it did, they didn't really roll with it. They introduced it, Mason asked about it, what's her face answered, and that was the end of that. It was terribly boring.

Never Done Before:

Partially correct. Technechally, this destruction engine has been getting more and more popular. It's also hard to call this game original when it's the third in a series. But the combat is ripped straight from the hands of Epic Studio's Gears of War series. The destruction is cool, but there's so little to destroy that it's pathetic. Why is there no giant city for me to rampage through with the walker? Why is there so much empty space where there should be crap to blow up? I know that Wrecking Crew is there, but it has the same problem! No giant levels to just hit a button labeled "Go fucking nuts" at tear up. The game modes all start too slow and get boring before they really pick up, and the destruction was just really crappily done.

Redefining Sadbox games:

Uhhh, no. All it did was take the engine from the first two red factions and slap it onto a world when, compared to games like Fallout, feels very small and almost linear, with road guiding you everywhere. It's not very tactical, especially when all your allies are pants-on-head retarded, making combat much more frustrating than it needs to be. It didn't redefine anything. It simply made a smaller, much more barren world than other open world titles.

Also, the guys complaing about ODST:

It wasn't supposed to be a full retail game, that was all Microsoft's idea. Bungie originally wanted it to be a cheaper game, marketing it as a short adventure, but Microsoft made it a full title by throwing the Reach Beta Key in there.

The game was rather well done, and it was what they claimed: Simply a short story about a group of ODSTs. Plus, Firefight mode is cool enough, so what's the problem?

Why should I keep my opinion to myself? The topic is about disappointing games, and Red Faction was disappointing. Did I say I expected another Earth? No, what I expected was a large, immersive world. Sure, it was a sandbox, in the sense that there was almost nothing but sand in it. It didn't need to be a clone of Earth, but there wasn't anything interesting. All the locations were small and limited, and when you destroyed a few things, you realized you were out of shit to do. It was far too short, had too little content, and the good combat was ruined by not allowing you to carry enough ammo and your allies being ass retarded.

And don't diss Halo, at least they're trying new stuff. They're trying to take the fanchise in a new direction, and if you can't respect that, you're either extremely thick, or a brainwashed fanboy. The franchise isn't nearly as dead as others, and with it wrapping up with Reach, you have no right to diss this company that made one of the milestone video games.

All it did was take the engine from the first two red factions and slap it onto a world when, compared to games like Fallout, feels very small and almost linear, with road guiding you everywhere. It's not very tactical, especially when all your allies are pants-on-head retarded, making combat much more frustrating than it needs to be. It didn't redefine anything. It simply made a smaller, much more barren world than other open world titles.

Also, the guys complaing about ODST:

It wasn't supposed to be a full retail game, that was all Microsoft's idea. Bungie originally wanted it to be a cheaper game, marketing it as a short adventure, but Microsoft made it a full title by throwing the Reach Beta Key in there.

The game was rather well done, and it was what they claimed: Simply a short story about a group of ODSTs. Plus, Firefight mode is cool enough, so what's the problem?

if you have a problem with my opinions wich are verry similar to many of my friends than dont bother telling me this, i think redfaction lacks in story and nothing else, and i would like to see companies like bungie make something new instead of trying to make money on a dead boring franchise, i dont expect you to understand

--- kulaks 

i can also tell you gears of war gameplay was taken from a diferent game to

--- kulaks 

ive actuallly played guerrilla long enouph to know about it squalitys unlike most people taht play only the newest games, fake gamers, best sandbox for destruction, its mars, you expecting a sexond earth, please keep your opinions to yourself

--- kulaks 

Why should I keep my opinion to myself? The topic is about disappointing games, and Red Faction was disappointing. Did I say I expected another Earth? No, what I expected was a large, immersive world. Sure, it was a sandbox, in the sense that there was almost nothing but sand in it. It didn't need to be a clone of Earth, but there wasn't anything interesting. All the locations were small and limited, and when you destroyed a few things, you realized you were out of shit to do. It was far too short, had too little content, and the good combat was ruined by not allowing you to carry enough ammo and your allies being ass retarded.

And don't diss Halo, at least they're trying new stuff. They're trying to take the fanchise in a new direction, and if you can't respect that, you're either extremely thick, or a brainwashed fanboy. The franchise isn't nearly as dead as others, and with it wrapping up with Reach, you have no right to diss this company that made one of the milestone video games.

--- imaloony 

I agree with the red faction complaints, my friends found it fun to no end, but i played it for 2 hours and went back to playing fallout 3. I beat ODST on legendary in 4 hours so the campain was very easy, the compat was fun and differant, firefight is'nt fun for me since my friends only want to get endure and not even play any other levels.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Spore for me was a big dissapointment. It ended too fast, too easy and too short levels, and all of the differnet levels except the origninal birth level was awfully copied from other games or styles and made very poor compared to the other games.

It was basically to much "stolen" from other genres and not improved or made original. Its not like Asian cars where they copy and improve lol.

THe most interswting level was the first two ones, the cell level and the transmission from sea to land, after that, it beacme just a big chunck of bad RTS.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Since someone allready had created a best game thread i created a most dissapointing game ever thread.

My nomine is Far cry 2, seriously everything lookied so good in the trailers but than when the game came out we had allready seen the entire game in the trailers, the most repetive game ever!

--- scarecrow 

Are you serious? The story mode is quite repetitive and tedious, but it's got possibley the best map maker ever seen in a video game. And the ability to play your own maps online? Genius. I must have spent hundreds of hours on the map maker alone.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Well the most dissapointing game for me was Grand Theft Auto IV, and i have alot of reasons why i dont like it that the controls are HORRIBLE compared to the old ones, the story line is lame and talk about sand box i thought it was suppose to be a sand box but its not i really dissapointed by that game!

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

I only have 39 pc games but out of all of those games the most dissapointing was Call of Duty Modern Warfare though its far from the worst game I have ever played, remember to never get the PC version of Dplinter Cell Double Agent it may only be $10 and it may still be fun when it works but its way to glitchy!!! though for $10 I wasnt expecting much at all so it only fell bellow my expectations a little bit. Call of Duty 4 was ok but my friends made me expect a lot more from it than what I got and I hate its multiplayer!!! I guess I was expecting something as awesome as battlefield 2 but it ended up being less than Call of Duty 2 big red 1.

Haha lets see if that insults some people!!!.

MW2 no question. Online sucked , single player was ok but not great. The overpriced mappacks were also a bad touch. Thank god Infinityward broke up, they were going downhill fast.

don't get angry at me for this, but battlefield bad company 2 is my nominee. A grenade launcher blows up a freakin wall, and 3 c4's can't even blow up a fence! That's soooo realistic...

i thought halo ODST was a complete disapointment due to there being no matchmaking and to be honest firefight was terible to.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

also I forgot to mention flashpoint 2 which was even more of a disapointment than ODST. I think it mostly was a let down because it boasted that it had ultra realism but in fact it actualy realy wasnt that realistic. also the AI were the worst ive ever seen in a game. so trust do not invest any money in this game or you will be let down.

I want to say Call of Duty: Black ops. Nothing in the COD series has changed in years, and that game is proof.

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

Easily Two Worlds. I remember around 4 years ago when I was only 11, I read the back of the box and the little one quote reviews, and one of them read "Like Oblivion on Steroids". Now at the time I had never heard of Oblivion but still paid the $60 for the game. Needless to say, after 10 minutes of gameplay, I never wanted to even try playing Oblivion

Re: The most dissapointing game ever?

I'm sure I'm about to get eFucked for this, but I actually have to nominate New Vegas. Everything about it seemed so badass. I watched every trailer, every teaser, and even pre-ordered it in June. Then when I got it, it was mediocre. It's buggy as hell, it has no post-apocalyptic feel, and pretty much everything about it seems... just unfalloutish.

Call of duty black ops takes the price. Seriously overhyped, and an overall bad gaming experience. The campaign was good though...
