Cosign except that I did like the story a lot.

Yeah I know a lot of people did. I kinda didn't though, coz, as I know sci-fi a fair bit, Mass Effect seemed like a huge mish-mash of previous science fiction stories all rolled into one.

hmmm.....i can say games this gen(Since TP is a tweener basically) A game I am playing right now Farcry 2 The gunplay is rather good I love the feel of the weapons I just hate all the driving, repetition, and emptyness of the game i mean it just isn't as good as some of the other First Person Shooters out there and i haven't touched the multiplayer..but i heard all that is good for is map maker Resistance 2s SP can go up here...I think it is crap...Resistance 2s Multiplayer is fantastic though...and easily the best MP game of 08 for my personal tastes SUper Paper Mario is another.....I heard so much about the franchise....it got an 8.8 which was also good...and i figured hey this is probably tons of fun...I forced myself to finish this game...it just wasn't fun..... I would rather Mario stick to just 3-D platforming.

I would also like to throw in This gens lack of evolution in the First Person Shooter genre...i am kind of getting annoyed with every other FPS i keep throwing in my 360/PS3/PC Wii gaming in general PC gaming in general...its big exclusives that i want tend to mostly be covering the RTS genre...and here and there it is something else Console Exclusives- Not enough of them This whole gen has sort of been a multiplatathon...not that i mind.....i have had alot of games to play...but i feel certain systems aren't really delivering on there hype The PC which has always been good to me for WRPGs and FPS isn't giving me the PC exclusives i want from those genres....(the niche stuff is always there thank god) The COnsoles exclusives for PS3 and 360...are just soo samey each time...it is easily the most repetitive battle known to man JRPGs just peaking at Good this gen Japenese Developers being 2nd rate this gen(those not named Capcom) Square Enix Why i usually don't complain alot but....suddenly alot of things are not living up to the hype :|

DMC4 and NG2. My problem with these two games are, what would be the point of playing difficult games when the game isn't difficult?PSdual_wielder

What difficulty did you play in NG2?

Because from what I've been reading (and looking at NGB) it really shines in the higher difficulties.

halo3 for its lackluster SP. i'd love to smack bungie for ruining the perfection that was halo ce...

farcry2 for its god awful repitition and laughable amount of driving. there is so much win in this game, so many great ideas, damn you ubi!!!

mirrors edge is a game i love. i loved it the first time i set eyes on it. but man, the game just wasn't what i expected. like i said though, still love it to death :)

rfom was one of the games i really wanted a ps3 for. i finally got sick of 3rod and switched over and wow, that game was a horrible, generic little pos. that was a dark DARK day for me. good thing that wasn't the best game on the ps3 as so many believed. there was better games out there than that garbage...

I was expecting so much, instead we get a boring and mindless combat mechanic, uninteresting skills and mmorpg like sidequests. The decision making was good but it was pretty much the only good thing about the Witcher

It's got to be Sonic the Hedgehog on the 360 and PS3. The game looked really good in eaqrly development but bad controls,horrible story,playing as slow annoying friends and long loading time made it a complete disaster and also it wasn't very fun and incredibly frustrating.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="obamanian"]

Metal Gear Solid 4, the visuals in the small levels look mediocre, and everything looks empty

Plus the gameplay is very limited and repeatetive, i could not believe how boring it was and how many installs and loadings i had to go through to play asuch tiny linear levels

The worst and most last gen experience i had from a game i bought

110million
Sounds like you just described Fable 2.

Yeah, one decently long install wasn't that bad to go through, but the up to 15 second load times for Fable 2 felt much worse, especially when the camera turns the wrong way when you enter a new area, so you end up going back, then you have to come to the new area again, so its up to like 45 seconds of loading in the end.

Seriously, Fable 2 wasn't that bad at all. The only thing that sucked was it's pitiful attempt to make an emotional ending.

Nothing has been such a huge disappointment to me yet, but if I had to choose it'd be Assassin's Creed. At first it was fun, but I soon began to realize how repetitive it was. I wasted $60 on it, I could've used that money to buy a better game.

But Sonic the Hedgehog is far from a flop this generation. Sonic 06 was great and Sonic Unleashed is nothing but an improvement and stands as my personal Game of the Year. (2008.)

Alone in the DarkPAL360
Ahh yes alone in the dark I had such high expectations for the game, though it wasn't bad it certainly wasn't stellar like it could have been. I Beat it on 360 and picked up the Inferno version recently hopefully the fixs up make the game better.

I haven't had any bigdisappointmentsthis generation, my expectations typically meet the final product. If I had to pick something it would be Gears of War 2's versus multiplayer. It has too many problems so I don't like to play the game much. At least Horde is really fun.

altho i still enjoy my PS3, the letdown was immense the first couple of years. I had it since release date, but it really only started delivering when MGS4 came out. So PS3 was and still is to some degree my major disappointment. :|

Haha. I could've told you that would be before it came out. Then again, I was similarly foolish in regards to the Wii, so w/e.

So easy

People said it'd be the best game in a long time, easily game of the year, possibly game of the generation.It was suppose to be unique, innovative, truly revolutionary. People said it was going to be a good game. It wasn't. It ended up being 5 mini games..

What made Halo CE better? Definitely wasn't the level design because it was extremely repetitive. It's a boring campaign to today's standards. I guess if living in the past is your thing (which it is for most people on here) than Halo CE is better, but in reality it's not.

Iwon't argue this any more though because all you "gamers" just think every old game is beyond perfection while every game released these days are over-rated generic garbage.

the silent cartographer stands as a testiment to how awesome halos level design was for the most part. a few repetitive enviroments can't define the entire game. the game is a masterpiece, plain and simple. and BTW, if your argument was in anyway true, i'd hate on anything released since the nes era. i would have never made it to halo...

This was suppose to be the RPGs to end all RPGs with a great story, huge exploration, stragetic combat, and awesome freedom of choice. What did we get? A derived, unoriginal story, one big city and a whole lot of unimportant landscapes, combat that didn't know if it was RPG or shooter, and lame moral choices, with a dialog tree that was, at times, literally an illusion.

dthach614

Cosign except that I did like the story a lot.

Agreed im really not a fan of Mass Effect, coming from a guy who plays NWN2, FF, BG, and variouse other high quality RPGS this game falls flat on its arse.

mines definitely the wii, and i'm not sure why, i know what i'm going to experience from a nintendo console, and there's some good games. I just don't find it that fun, zak and wiki, zelda, metroid and mario galaxy are the only games i really enjoyed. Something about it is sort of none nintendoish. up until about mid 2008 i was also disappointed by the ps3, but i didn't have one, after now getting one in october it's awesome, but it was really poor in 2007. mario kart wii was pretty shocking, i played it for i think 2 days, and then just realised they made the game completely unchallenging, it felt pointless to play. fable 2 and prince of persia suffered a similar fate to mario kart, but they atleast had a lasting fun factor. I found them ok/decent, and farcry 2 was also a joke after farcry, for points previously mentioned in other post.

i've gotta say, and it was a good game, but gears 2 was a let down for me. it just didn't have the pop of the 1st one, IMO. that, and the unecessarily long vehicle section.

Well I suppose nintendo is responsible for the vast majority of my disappointments this gen. Loz:tp a bit, definitely smg and then what they did to warioland. At that point I thought there was no reason left to be bothered about them seeing how highly I regarded the gameboy warioland series and that is true...unless those rumors about a Jet set radio future sequel for the wii come to anything but I'm pretty sure that's the first sign of the apocalypse so I'm not too worried.

Spore was pretty bad but i expected it to be bad from the start, i'm gonna go with Farcry 2 as it was hyped so much and the result was one of the worst games i own
