What game was the biggest dissapointment for you?

For me it was definitely Black & White; fun for the first few hours, but it got boring. Fireball, gain village, repeat.

Mass Effect, Halo 2, Prince of Persia (second one, can't remember the name). GTA4 as well.

Mass Effect wasn't the biggest by far, but had many flaws and was much less than what I was expecting. That being said, I'm enjoying the sequel much more..

I agree with all but one, haven't played ME yet.

Far Cry 2. Biggest Fail in the gaming industry.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV. After the mind-meltingly awesome Heroes III, New World Computing offered an unbelievably flawed and uninspired sequel. Few good ideas aside, absolutely nothing felt right about this game.

Other notable mentions include BioShock, Mass Effect, Spore, F.E.A.R. 2, Knights of the Old Republic II, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey.

Spore was a disappointment

Oh yea, MGS4. One of the biggest letdowns I've ever played.

Metal Gear Solid 4, such a disappointment for me story and character wise.

Modern Warfare 2 on the pc and Fear 2 Project Origins. Dissapointment it is.

I'm gonna say it. Fable.GreatWhiteDHunt

That's my favorite game. Well, different tastes, I suppose. And I agree with Gears of War 2. And my friend likes Prince of Persia, I don't see why. Assassin's Creed... it was fun killing people for a bit, but it got boring and repetitive.

Oh, and Red Alert 3 for XBox 360. It got praise... but the controls are terrible and inconvenient, the camera doesn't go in far enough so you can see hardly any action, and the campaigns get repetitive.

Yeah, a lot of the time "biggest dissapointment" is about a game that is good, but overhyped. I mean, wasn't Halo 3 supposed to be the last word in FPSs? The ending left a lot to be desired, and, frankly, it was the same as Halo 1 and 2; carbon-copied corriders, one after another. A good game, but people had such high expectations it was bound to be a let-down.

Yea, it just didn't do it for me, B. Surprising really as I am a big fan of MGS 1 and 3. There was too many cutscenes for me, they dragged on from lack of competent editing, the story was hard to follow and convoluted, many of the characters were so far out there as to be absurd, and it was preachy and pretentious. The production values were astounding as all Kojima games are, but that couldn't make me overlook its other flaws.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, just considering my expectations for it stemming from the previous titles it is one of the biggest letdowns for me.

Demon's Souls. Too tough and boring, to be honest.

Far Cry 2. Biggest Fail in the gaming industry.

Assassins Creed: It sounded really good until I was doing the same thing over and over again.

Far Cry 2: The first game amazed me. I had to agree with GameSpots review on Far Cry, it was the best shooter since Half-Life. Because of that, I thought Far Cry 2 would be just as good. It wasn't. It was buggy and the multiplayer wasn't really fun.

Spore- completley over hyped, such a shallow game.

FFVII, as I was around friends who played it on release and have since been obsessed, while I played it around 2006. The story didn't interest me all that much, I wasn't a fan of most of the party members and I've never liked the ATB system. I still like it, just got way too overhyped before playing it for the first time.

Eternal Sonata - Once again I enjoyed it, but found the battle system too shallow for my tastes.

FFT. I played this about a month ago, but got overhyped again. I liked it, but prefer the Disgaea series for combat by far.

Fable.

I was under the impression that it would be a big open world deal.

Not even close.

It was actually the last game I pre-ordered. That was the end of pre-ordering for me.

For me the biggest disappointments have been Halo 3 ,Resident Evil 5, Halo 2, and Fable 2. I had enjoyed the other titles in the listed franchises ( except Fable 1 that to was disappointing) , but I was thoroughly disappointed with their sequels .

Gravity crash >.>

Spore............ would of been incredible if they hadn't turned it into a kiddie game.

Deus Ex: Invisible Wars. The reason why I put a stress ball on my desk.

There's a couple that spring to mind.

GTA San Andreas. I had some fun with III and VC, and i read all these reviews about how much better SA was... And now all I can say is those review were all just hype. The additions to the game were horrible and it just wasn't any fun to play.

And Okami. Boring story, too much text, and the battles weren't great. I don't know why it gets so much praise.

Fat princess. God damn that game sucked arse.

Grand Theft Auto IV.

I had such high hopes for that game.

It was still decent, but for the wrong reasons. I want my San Andreas sandbox with RPG elements in it back.

edit: RPG elements which does not solely revolve around the use of (or lack of same) your cellularphone.

Crysis, nice grafix but nothing more then that. End of story.

For me it was Borederlands. That is not a bad game by any means, as a matter fact I love it but, I was expecting so much more from it.

Indeed. Gameplay-wise it's a great game, but the presentation failed. I was hoping for a wacky humourous plot, not some boring mmorpg-like quest-after-quest trash.

Besides that I'm joining the "Disappointed-in-MGS4"-branch. It just didn't come close to the quality of it's prequels. Especialy the recycled boss fights left me disappointed. The fight with Whatshername Wolf for example just was a trashy version of the duel with The End in MGS3.

Batman Arkham Asylum. it scored 9.0 so I thought it will be pretty cool, alas it was just plain boredom for me.

MGS4 was awful when compared to other entries in the series due to its crappy story. And it wasn't all that great of a game, either -- short and unremarkable byTPS standards, with unlimited ammo and recycled boss fights from previous games sucking all the discovery, challenge, and strategy out of play.

This game killed the series for me.
