What are 5 games that you were looking forward to that you thought would be incredible but they turned out to be not all that great? Mine? Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Halo 2, Mass Effect (in my opinion, it was a botched version of what it could have been), Sonic: Wildfire (oh I was hoping for a good sonic game..) and can't think of #5.

oh yes, thanks for reminding me, Assassin's Creed is #4. These games do not have to be recent just to throw that in there.

this isnt an argument thread, it is an opinion thread. If it were an argument thread I would argue with bkrawk and say that there was no way that crysis could have met its hype, but it was still extraordinary. However, this is not an argument thread.

HAHA!!!!!

Sorry...found that really funny ^^;;; I haven't gotten far in it yet thanks to my graphics card, but it's at least better than Morrowind with the telporting on the map thing..!

And I agree with Pokemon Diamond/Pearl ... the last pokemonI played was Blue, and there's no difference, just colors and more varities of items that I don't use..

Biggest Disappointments for me This Year that I was Highly Anticipating:

Unreal Tournament 3
Hellgate London
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
Clive Barker's Jericho
Assassin's Creed

...and to a certain extent, BioShock.


Highly Anticpated for me that turned into the Biggest Disappointments of All Time:


Windows Vista & GFW (I never thought anything could be worse then Windows Me....I was wrong)
Unreal II
DX2: Invisible War

Thief: Deadly Shadows
Doom 3
Quake IV
DirectX 10

I am going to be cliche and use a very lame response... but it is the only way I can show my level of contempt with the game...
  1. BioShock
  2. BioShock
  3. BioShock
  4. BioShock
  5. BioShock
I don't know if I have ever been as disappointed with a game as I was with BioShock. All flash and nearly no substance. All of which was copied from the spiritual predecessor.

Quake Wars

Crysis (I've only played the demo though. I was a bit underwhelmed by the graphics on an 8800GTS though)

Empire at War (Only because there's no one online)

2142(Shoulda waited for BF3. The features were really great, but a bit too early to release another game, sales suffered, online not as active. I still liked it a lot though)

Halo series (As a PC gamer, I was underwhelmed, especially since it got all that hype. IMO it deserves maybe half of it. Most overrated game ever. Don't get me wrong, still a great one, but nowhere near as OMG PERFECT as everyone makes it sound.)
