Most Disappointing Games So Far This Gen?

IYO?

For me:

* Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Easily the worst game in the Metroid series, felt like wannabe Halo trash, with the Metroid IP sacrificed just so Nintendo could prove Wii was able to do a FPS control scheme. Basically what real gamers feared the first Metroid Prime would be, truly shambolic)

* Halo 3 (An absolute joke compared to PC shooters, and not even good by console standards, and they are very low afterall so that is saying something)

* Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (8 hour, linear borefest with its genre elements not blending well at all)

* Gears of War (6 hours of repetitious, mediocre gameplay, and terrible multiplayer with few options of play)

* Ratchet (The seventh annual rehash with no changes in the movement to next gen. Stale, archaic, lame, horrible platforming, gimped shooting, I could go on)

* Zelda Twilight Princess (Worst Zelda game ever, with gimmick controls, horribly stale gameplay and it was also ridiculously easy)

What about you?

My most disappointing game this gen is without a doubt Assassin's Creed. All hype, no substance.

* Crysis

* World in Conflict

* The Orange Box (PC version obviously)

* STALKER

* Sins of a Solar Empire

* Company of Heroes

There are many others too. :)

crysis?

oh lawd

• NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
• Beautiful Katamari
• Ace Combat 6
  
• No More Heroes

Gears of war for me. For the rest most if not all of the games were just a little bit disappointing, but good nonetheless, so I just thought my standards are too high. For me it was really disappointing to see also that COD4 really had a campaign setup that was excusable 4 years ago, but nowadays having aimbot drones as AI and having stupid invulnerable allies is pretty inexcusable. Also halo 3 was missing something I think. If I just look at it it's a great game like all the ones before it, but something is keeping me from keeping playing it like halo 2. Well, that was pretty much it.

Just based on the handful of next gen games that I have played ...... Assassins Creed is the most disappointing so far for me.

two words Assassin's Creed

P08C

Agreed.

Assassins Creed
Bioshock(im one of the few)
Crysis

-Full Auto

-UT3

-DMC4

-Turning Point

-Frontlines

So the TC is a hermit troll bagging on everything that came out on consoles. How unique to see on this board. :roll:

Ironically and possibly because I am getting a lot of these games long after they have been reviewed and on the market many of the games people have been griping about as hating I actually enjoyed very much like Perfect Dark Zero and Assassin's Creed for example.

As for most disappointing...I would have to say Madden series in general. It just hasn't taken the proper steps forward I was expecting from this gen.

Only one so far is

Assassin's Creed. I forced myself to finish the game so I would never have to pick it up again. Waist of $60 + tax.

Halo 3

Assassin's Creed

WarioWare (DAMMIT THE MultiPlayer WAS SO MUCH BETTER IN THE GC VERSION!!)

Heavenly Sword

oh so ur a hermit...no wonder you listed all consoles games as disapointment....anyways my most disappointing game so far is Sonic The Hedgehog

Yeah I agree Metroid Prime 3 blew chunks. I've been a fan of the metroid series since I played the first in 1986 but Retro has destroyed the series. Thats exactly what I thought when I played prime 3 "halo wannabe". The prime series has lost the whole metroid feel.

For me it's Gears. So much potential, so much... :cry:NAPK1NS

What? Gears is one of the best games this gen! Oh well, your opinion...

hes just saying that coz its not on ps3

I had many dissapointments this gen.

I love Halo 3, but that campaign around the last 2 missions NOSE DIVED.

I love COD 4 mp, but the campaign is short, repetitive, and the story is way to god dang cliche and the MP is noobed up a bit.

But overall dissapointments

Assassins Creed its a good game, but I expected more

No More Heroes- it sucked.

Have uplyed any of those games? Gears of War was not disappointing. Lastly, ever Zelda game has been revatlly easy since OOT. The Hardest Zelda is Links Awaking.

Gears of War and Halo 3 are enjoyable.

Majora's Mask is alot harder than Oot.

halo 3 for me. i was really dissapointed with halo2 but i was hearing some positive stuff about halo 3, and with all the 360s horse power i thought bungie would just go a little nuts.

but nope...its not a game that builds on halo or even greatly improves on it..it is halo1 with different levels...and thats it. seriosuly ive seen expansion packs do more. halo 1 was great but bungie did absolutely nothing to build on it. its the same 30 seconds over and over again...nothing really new or fresh. its not a bad game....its just average. there are better games out now, alot better. what a let down.

hey everyone, its our good hermit troll friend creating another console bashing thread.clone01

I'll say Sonic the Hedgehog. That was the worst sonic game ever.

lair .. some one had to say it

the killzone of this gen

Lair and AC made me sad, and it wasn't because of their good stories.Chutebox

100% agree.

Definitely Assassin's CreedTykain

Bioshock was a bigger flop than Command and Conquer 3, personally.

I wouldn't call Devil May Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed disapointments, I would consider them games that simply didn't live up the potential they had in store.

Devil May Cry 4 just didn't do anything for the series, I mean look DMC3, look at how the gameplay grew, DMC4 did nothing to expand that.

Assassin's Creed introduced a whole boat load of new and cool things, just that it got really repetative, and it could have been so much more.

Medal of Honor Heroes 2.

How many online FPS Games have 2 CTF Maps and let you Walk thought people!?

got all hyped for it and now i never play it. plus its got a broken rank system

Perfect Dark Zero Oh god what a pile of garbage that game was :(

AssAssins creed Its takes boring and reptitive to a whole new level

Mass effect It was alright but no were near the greatness of KOTOR 1&2 plus the technical glitches are aproblem as well.

Bioshock. Nothing but a shadow of an incredible sub-genre.

Grimgrimoire. Though it wasn't on a current gen platform it did come out last year. People often said that Odin Sphere was nothing but a crap game with no gameplay put into it. I was shocked by this because I enjoyed the game very much but was intrigued that many people said that Grimgrimoire is a far better game. After playing the game I just leave a " :? " expression on my face. The game may be unique in terms of it being a side-scrolling viewed RTS but other then that it really isn't all that special or entertaining and more relys on pretty pictures then good and/or fun gameplay.

No More Heroes. Presentation is nice and all but it isn't as important as gameplay. This game is really inconsistent due to it having really high points and low points. I mean yes chopping things up is fun, but when your evasion and defense bring 3D combat back a whole decade there is a pretty big problem. I mean people often complain that games like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4 only get their high rep due to being very appealing (stylle and presentation wise) to the gaming market instead of playing good. This game is simlar but the only difference is that it appeals to the niche market.

Oblivion. n00bified garbage trash. Worst offender to the RPG genre since Kingdom Hearts.

All of the above are just my opinion though.
