IGN's Top 10 Gaming Disappointments of 2010

IGN is very contradiced regarding what it says about GT5, even its final comments were strange.

GS has been rubbish for some time now in reviewing the games, but i should admit, it's nice that they are taking the time to experience GT5 fully before giving out the review.

My first impression about FFXIII was 2/10, but after 100 hr of play, it's 7.5/10 .

In before all the Alpha Protocol-hate. It's a hidden gem.Elann2008

I like IGN, but I would definitely squeeze FFXIV in there.

IGN:Gt5 best racing sim...

Way to take both the review and the list out of context. :roll: But that's the System Wars way.

Because the list was made by IGNAUwhile the review was by IGNUS. Two different staff there.

Notice how its Nintendo free list ;)

Seems all the disappointments are on the ps3 and 360 :lol:

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"]:lol: GT5 is already up there and its only been out for 3 days.Chutebox

Somehow they missed Force Unleashed 2.. that game was terrible. 4 hours long, with poor fluidity from gameplay to storyline, and a bad story too, if there even was a story. Who makes a game with only 4 levels in it where the first and last levels are the same level!?

Nope, FU2 should be number 2 on that list.

Well, who expected anything from Nintendo this year? :S It sounds hard, but besides a few DKCR fans I saw no hype for anything for the Wii this year :S

Wasn't Metroid Other M a fairly large game that alot of people had issues with?

It could have been a great game...I am playing through it now and the potential the game had is what makes it so disappointing. Its unfortunate that the gameplay element of the game is so hampered by bugs,poor AI and bad development choices that it drags the game down. All that being said I still think the game was underrated by many reviewers.

Obviously there are other games that could have been on that list. It's pretty close to being accurate though.

I think Alan Wake was my biggest disappointment.

IGN is funny. GT5 will not be a disappointment for fans but for everyone else it may be a different story. I don't think they know how big the GT fanbase is. Everyone else might be in a minority...;)

[QUOTE="UCF_Knight"][QUOTE="wiifan001"]Also notice how Nintendo is completely irrelevant to this top 10. sandbox3d

:lol:He definitely asked for it.

Come to think of it though, I dont remember any serious blunders on Nintendos part this year. They did pretty damn good.

I don't know why your guys say GT5 shouldn't be there... they probably played it by now, so they probably know what they are talking about.

Just like they were spot on with their score of the game.

I find it hilarious how an 8.9 game, and therefore "impressive" game by their standards, is apparently the biggest gaming disappointment.

dissapointmen =/= bad

They could be good/great games but still be the biggest dissapointsments of the year. Since some games have a history of past instalments they expect them to improve on their formula. It also doesnt help their case when the developers promise so much and hype them through the roof. Number one is spot on

Seeing GT5 up there makes sense: 5 years of development, got AA, graphics aren't constantly consistent, some framerate drops, not in 1080p, doesn't look like a huge change from other GTs despite being developed longer than them.

I was never into motion gaming. It good for family fun or parties but on my own I dont find it interesting.

FF13 should not have been on that list at all. its a fine polished game.HailCaesarHail

You do know that the review for the game is written by oner person, not all of IGN. While this article is either written by one ore more people which means they can have different opinions.

Its an insanely polished game. One of the best looking and most solid built games I have ever played. Unfortunately it had very little content (by FF standards), a complete nonsense story, annoying characters, forgettable "villains", extremely linear progression, and was completely monotonous. The battle system was ok, but not good enough to carry an entire game consisting of point a to point b level design. There was nothing along the way to break it up at all. No places to visit off the beaten path. No towns or cities to explore. No NPCs to interact with. No minigames. No exploration besides some fields in Ch.11. No real sidequests besides those hunts in Ch.11 which were mostly just previously encountered enemies with some stat changes and a possible reskin. The majority of the game was - run through these beautiful tubes for a few hours while killing everything in your path in a repetitive manner until you get to a cutscene, or a boss fight + cutscene. Rinse and repeat till the end of the game.

If you personally enjoyed the game then that is great. I enjoy plenty of games that many others dont like. But it is clearly understandable why this game was considered the biggest disappointment of the year by IGN and for that matter, many gamers as well. Its by far my biggest disappointment this gen.

A polished product is great, but all the production values in the world can only take a game so far.

Well I think quite a few people found Other M disappointing. Even Nintendo on the sales end. :P

Still a fun game though.

Gran Turismo 5 a disappointment? Color me shocked. The more you play Gran Turismo 5, it seems, the more you discover. I would hardly call it a disappointment.wdave92

And what are you going to say if the game gets an 8.5 (which is very likely) on GS?
