Whats your biggest heart break in all your years of gaming?

Title says it all.

For many gamers we are passionate about gaming & we have our love for gaming. What is the bigget heartbreak you have ever had with gaming, The biggest one that just squeezes & tears on your inner gamer soul. Mine came with the latest announcment of Ubisofts sequel to its 3rd person shooter ( Conviction )

My favorite franchise is now ruined. Actually it was ruined in 2010 & now they have made a sequel to it. I knew this day was coming. They had made an action game & just as people had praised Resident Evil 4 we all knew this had cemented the series direction & what was coming next. The same can be said for Splinter Cell.

Conviction ruined it all & Now Blacklist is continuing down the grave Conviction dug. 2006 was the last time we saw a Splinter Cell game, it was the last time i saw a stealth game, was hoping for a new stealth/SC game, to this day im still waiting .........

I feel like im sitting in the rain at a bus stop. The DART buses comes along ( Bus of Conviction, Blacklist, insert other generic mindless action games, etc ), & yet im still here waiting for the normal bus ( the stealth bus ), waiting in the rain, still waiting, maybe it will never show & i know this is the future of my gaming wants, my bus..... may never show up............

What do you do when games just dont offer what you want anymore. I really dont know. I guess i just keep playing the older titles. My gripes & heartbreaks aside, whats yours?

I want to know your biggest, deepest, darkest secrets. When the last time your inner gamer was hurt & how bad was it? Tell me about your heartbreak? This is a support thread for gamers, let it all loose, every tear, every cry, everything.

Ugly fast, this thread will get.

One of my biggest heartbreaks recently was Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel, Final Fantasy XIII-2. It's now no longer a Final Fantasy series to me. Until they bring back the original team that inspired it, not to mention the games before it, my faith in the team is pretty much dead. Square Enix are out of their minds and they no longer know what's best for Final Fantasy anymore.

I feel ya TC about Splinter Cell. Seriously sucks hardcore. You're not alone at the bus stop, believe me.

For me it'd have to be the cancellation of Stalker 2 for the PC. I was really looking forward to that and my heart sank when development was shut down, though now I hear they're trying to find a buyer but still it won't be developed by the same people so even if it did sell it's still dead to me. Other than that, my heart breaks just looking at gaming in general. Now if EA, Activision, or Ubi bought Rocksteady I'd go postal. I'm crossing my fingers and PRAYING hard that they will not be bought out and sell out.

resident evil it used to be somthing so unique and now it's just another action game and people praise the ground it walks on it isnt right resident evil died in 2004.it just needs a different name ive seen enough of chris and leon this decade i want them to die

and splintercell is doing the exact same thing!two great series just dead......

I would have to say that my biggest heart break in gaming would have to be the direction Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise went in. I recently started playing the older ones like Island Thunder on my Xbox and boy those games are so much fun today even. I was at one of my friends and I was watching him play Future Soldier and when I watched it I thought it looks pretty cool with all the future technology presented in the game but I am in no hurry to go out and purchase it, I am perfectly happy with Battlefield 3 which is my only multiplayer fps I need.

But my main point is after playing the older more "tatical" Ghost Recon games I am really sad Ubisoft turned this franchise into another generic third-person shooter with the cover system. I would rather see Ghost Recon go back to it's roots or be rebooted. Anyone else remember the good ol' Ghost Recon?

Naughty Dog not developing anymore Jak and Daxter games, and instead concentrating on that stupid, generic shooter series, Uncharted.

Their new IP, The Last of Us doesn't look any more impressive.

But my biggest heart break will be if Bamco decides not to localize anymore Tales games in the future. This hasn't been confirmed yet, but it might happen.

ACTUALLY, I've played and beaten both Uncharted 1 and 2.

I sold Uncharted 1 a while ago, but I've kept Uncharted 2...Not sure why I haven't gotten rid of it yet. :/ It's taking up some space on my harddrive.

I didn't bother buying Uncharted 3 because I knew it was going to be the same old sh*t.

And it is, because I've gotten the chance to play it since some of my friends got it.

In terms of multiplayer, yes. I really dont think there is any miltary multiplayer game that can even touch BC2 right now, unless its BC3. Judging by how the game industry works though im just going to take a wild guess & say even BC3 wont be as good as BC2. They will find some way to ruin it.

Yep, i noticed this trend with many series, especially after watching E3 this week.

Did anybody notice that Tomb Raider is now a action game, Resident Evil is now a action game, Splinter Cell is now a action game, Dead Space is now a action game. I see a trend here. What the hell happened?

All of these games were in different, more unique genres & now every single one is an action game. Every game is conforming to the action genre. Not that they're bad games, they're just more of the same.

This may be the future of the industry, along with every game becoming more dumbed down & casual. Im just not liking the direction games are headed in right now.

By "People" you mean the 3 of us right?

I think we may be the only 3 people still playing it. Everybody else has permanently found a home with BF3. My world wide ranking on leaderboards never changes, even if i dont play it for a month. Its just us 3 man lol.

Ha! I've been playing it off and on lately and I always seem to find full matches on the maps I like in Conquest and Squad Deathmatch. I think more people have been playing it on PSN lately since they released it as a $20 download about a month ago. I've owned it since it came out, but I'm still tempted to buy the digital version just so I can boot it up whenever I want.rragnaar

Last time I hopped on Bad Company 2 online (PS3) I kept losing connection and being kicked from the servers after 2-5 minutes of playing. I was able to swap over to a different game and with no issues. This was like 2 months ago that this was happening but never had trouble with my many other online games including Medal Of Honor, so how is it on PS3, does it work or have you expierenced the same issues as I have?

EDIT: also, Vietnam was one of the best DLC packs this gen in my opinion.

Well you pretty much stole what I was going to say, almost word for word. When Blacklist was announced, I was hoping for a true sequel to Chaos Theory, I was so dissapointed when I was the E3 gameplay, probabaly more than how dissapointed I was when I first played Conviction on a friends 360. Also, I will add Resident Evil 5, no horror what so ever, just a generic action game, to make things worse, the controls for Resident Evil 5 are meant for a horror game, not an action game, at least Conviction was a good action game, Resident Evil 5 was just a disaster.

Stalker being cancelled and GSC closing down was a pretty damn bad development.

Apart from that, no real heartbreaks, although I am getting increasingly annoyed by some of my favourite franchises going into an undesirable direction (Crysis, Age of Empires, FEAR, Rainbow Six...)

Resident Evil 5 was a big let down for me.

Splinter Cell is definitely up there. After how good Chaos Theory was, seeing a great series get turned into a run of the mill game that is unrecognizable is really sad.

Star Trek Legacy was also very horrifying. By rushing the game for an early release, they basically killed single player star trek gaming.

Still worried about Hitman, and the Elder Scrolls has definitely been letting me down for a while now.

the handing off of previously great and historic franchises like devil may cry, castlevania, and silent hill into the hands of random western developers.

I have to say it's a toss up between Blizzard pulling the plug on Starcraft Ghost,Blizzard destroying the story of Warcraft (there will never be a WC4...), every Stargate game has been canceled except the snes one of the movie (they have canned like 6 Stargate games FML). Those have been probably my most "heart break" moments in gaming.

GTA4...several others as well but none disappointed me as much as GTA4 did, it was still a good game, but just wasn't the game a lot of us loved.

Nintendo. Not the Wii nessecarily (although that's a big part of it), but the death of their games. Zelda isn't special or magical anymore, and aside from Super Mario Galaxy 1, Nintendo hasn't released a really special game since the original Metroid Prime (and yes, I know they weren't the developers).

For me it would be the death of the Sega Dreamcast...That system had so many good and unique games. I feel like no other system has the library The Dreamcast had.

Same sentiments here, TC, though I think I'm more upset by the fact that what's considered to be a stealth game today is actually no more than an action game with a few stealth elements.

Rayman turning into that rabbids crap *vomits* Rayman was my first ever game for the ps1 and it aged gracefully too, a masterpiece. At least now he's back!(origins is excellent)YoshiYogurt
