Do any of you guys think these games were a disappointment?

These were highly anticipated games but I don't hear anyone really talk about them anymore.

Anyway, here they are:

1. SoulCalibur 4

2. Ninja Gaiden II

3. Condemned 2

4. Halo 3

5. Left 4 Dead

6. Devil May Cry 4

And maybe a few others I'm missing out on.

Well I was going to start a topic about it but since you brought it up, people hardly talk about ANY game nowadays after months from being released. Talking about a three months old games is old news now. I'm not talking about online games. I blame games for being similar and unoriginal.

SCIV to me was a let down. I sold my copy of the game because I just can't stand to play it. There's just too much added crap to the game that shouldn't be in a fighter. I'm not interested in creating my own fighter. As much as I love Star Wars, though we all know Star Trek pwns Star Wars, I wasn't thrilled that Namco decided to add Siths and a Jedi into the game. I also don't care for that Soul Tower mode or whatever it was called.

There was just too much stuff in the game that just totally distracted from what SCIV was supposed to be, a fighter. Thank goodness that I got HD Remix on both platforms. SFIV is just around the corner as well.

No, not at all. Creating your own characters is fun, but the game is more for casual gamers than for people who expect a great balanced beat em up.

It was way different than I thought I'd be. I enjoyed the game, but don't buy it...you can play through it in a few hours.

I don't think any of the games on that list were disappointing and most of them were well recieved despite the typical cynics you get with every game released,

The reason why talk about them is short-lived is because theres so many games to discuss, before all the talk about the games go as far as they can another highly anticipated game comes out dieing down talk on the older titles.

dmc4 was a big disappointment. it wasnt from it being a bad game (as it wasnt), it was from it being purely mediocre. dmc3 was frankly the best of the dmc/gow/ng/hs action games and id expect its sequel to atleast be competent in copying what made the original great. so many parts of the dmc3 formula were just stripped out. none of dante's weapons were more appealing than the sword he starts out with. the backtracking was done all wrong (dmc3 had an almost metroid-like pacing in that you went through a level, got an item, and that item opened up a path prior in the level. dmc4 was simply just going straight through the same level again). the difficulty (and subsiquently the reward for doing well) was greatly diminished.

all of these things were done so well in dmc3, that im astonished that they couldnt get them right in dmc4. and its not like they set out to reinvent the franchise and make something truely fresh. they were dead set on rehashing dmc3 and couldnt even match their prior work. dmc4 looked pretty good and had a cool online scoreboard feature, but handled not so well in other areas.

I just have Ninja Gaiden fatigue to be honest. I hated SC 4. I was always a very casual SC player but spent quite a bit of time on SC4.
