Spore. It's pretty good game anyway, just disappointing.

For me, it's a toss between Assassin's Creed and Far Cry 2. Ubi can't seem to get anything right this year. I just hope they don't mess up HAWX and Endwar next year.

I haven't bought that many games - they're very expensive - so I were to go by reception and reviews I would BIA: HH - I thought that could have been A grade and also Spore I suppose. I don't think TR: Underworld is going to really great marks. The PC Version has a few 8/10 scores

I agree with it being the most disappointing, but to me it was decent. Nothing special.

Farcry 2. Making a huge world and forcing you to drive across it for every mission annoyed me so much I couldn't play it for more than a few hours.

toss-up between spore and farcry 2. I'd go spore, since it was supposed to be the next coming of christ (after Doom 3). There wasn't as much expected of FC2 as spore, although both games bombed in epic proportion.

I'm temted to say Far Cry 2 as well, the brown collor of the landscape and the terrible and fast dialogue. Pure, Red Allert 3 and "Crusaders, Thy kingdom come" are also temting candidates to my liking.

far cry 2, i cant remember ever being as frustrated by a game. whoever decided it would be fun for the player to have every single person they encounter immediately open fire and then chase them to the death wherever they go, and then respawn and do it all over again next time you drive past needs to be publically flogged. only mods can save it now.

Spore. And I say this as a person who wasn't even hyped for the game.

Assassin's Creed. It's not that I was expecting it to be good, I really wasn't, it's just that conceptually I think it's one of the best games in years. With a mission structure more in line with the GTA games, a stealthing system more in line with the Thief games and AI thatactually works, as well as a combat system oriented towards running away rather than taking on fifty guys at once, and it could've been a masterpiece.

I think, in the gaming world, there's nothing more depressing than a poorly executed but conceptually brilliant game. Well, Troika closing is more depressing. And Bethesda taking the Fallout IP. And a bunch of other stuff. Whatever.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. That sucks the fun out of Far Cry 2. I have no clue what they were thinking when they decided that it would be fun to implement that in the game.

I know loads of people loved it, but Mass Effect fell well short of it's potential to me. Far Cry 2 has made me vow never to buy a game without a demo release.

even that we didn't liked FarCry 2, becoz its boring, same thing, all time, but we cannot ignore the greatness in many sids, no game has ever offered such reality, in all aspects, done with FarCry 2 coz I need a whole day to explain,...

as for the most dissapointing, well we got many games, about strategy, Empire Earth 3 sucked ! though the previuos instalments are great, as for racing, and as everybody is saying NFS prostreet and now undercover, EA with its failure year, for shooter I dont remeber very much but we can say FarCry 2, maybe others, I dont really remember.

the games which really disappointed me were Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect. Since I already new how bad Assassin's Creed was going to be by reviews last year, i guess my most disappointing game for this year would be Mas Effect

Farcry 2

-what happened to the "advanced health system"?
-what about the "advanced vehicle repairing"?
-or the "amazing AI"?
-or the "destructible environments"? in fact they still play a commercial saying something like "EVERYTHING IS DESTRUCTIBLE. OBSTACLES WILL BLOCK YOUR PATH NO MORE"
-physics suck
-what's up with those cliffs?

-why do weapons you pick up jam atleast once a clip?
-every mission is the same
-too much traveling
-checkpoints
-respawns
-the faction system was a lie. your choices mean nothing
-buddy system too
-and reputation system
-sniping makes this game a joke (too easy)
-why are enemy vehicles always 2x faster then yours (even when you steal the same one they were using)?
-stealth is almost always impossible

-ubisoft didn't even remove those console save popups for the pc version. why ask us when to save in spefific points when you gave us quick save?

-multiplayer sucks, everything about it

-99% of people attack you on site, even your own faction, ubisoft had to use an escuse that "they dont know who you are" cause they were too lazy to finish the faction system

-inventory system is a joke (you can't carry an assault rifle and sniper? or if you want an IED, you can't carry a pistol or LMG? why can't you just pick weapons of your choice instead of these slots?)

-story sucks

-voice acting
-these are just the things off the top of my head

I duno what's up with those random spaces...gamespot. sucks trying to format here

Far Cry 2... Had the groundwork to be so great, then screwed up with tedious repetitive missions and respawning. Runner up for me is STALKER: Clear Sky. Initial missions were very bungled up, and I hate the day/night cycle. Shlepping around in the dark with a light on your head isn't what I'm looking for in a game. These were my two most anticipated games of the year, came out a week apart, and both major disappointments for me.

FAR CRY 2

Stalker 2

 

I beat Far Cry 2 but it was a hollow and empty experience. Kinda like sleeping with a chick just to say you slept with her.

Stalker 2 was AWFUL!! Buggiest garbage game ever. Absolute suck

Spore by far. Far Cry 2 is a great game once you put a few fixes in (ie widescreen and mouselag)

I totally agree, I really wanted to be able to get stuck into it but a couple of hours play and im done.....its just too laborious trecking cross country taking out the same guard posts again and again.......im still going to clock it, but not in the two or three marathon sittings i was hoping for.

Far Cry 2. Even reliable magasines gave it great reviews and I just don't see why.

  • Repetitive missions (Lets kill the exact same convoy repeatedly).
  • Complete detachment of any story or plot from the game except for simplistic 'Let's kill the Jackal' storyline.
  • Graphics aren't actually that good, to me seemed like a step back from COD4, Crysis, Fallout 3.
  • The two most annoying fps gaming conventions:Rapidly respawning enemies and quickly degrading weapons.

Yeah sure Far Cry 2 had some problems, but its atmosphere and innovative ideas made it a winner. They may not have been perfect but at least they broke it away from the rest of the pack. Give it some credit.
