What's the most disappointing game of 2010?

Feels like RDR is the most disappointing game, especially the horrible Undead Nightmare expansion. Simply because the zombies aren't fun to kill in the game.

What's yours?

Best one is probably Super Meat Boy

GT5 trounces every game in this category

tbh I'd have to agree, RDR was a very good game but I expected so much more enjoyment out of it then I got.

GT5 is up there too though simply because I was one of the ones hyping it at at least AAA but expected an AAAA

Final Fantasy XIV might be the worst game I've EVER played.

Mass Effect 2.

Not quite what I was expecting. I wasnt expecting alot from the get go but I was expecting an AE game with a pretty solid SP and decent MP.

Surprisingly the multiplayer is where the game shined for me. The SP was just a huge dissapointment.

Good game but very dissapointing.

COD Black ops. The game engine is horrible and out dated. It also has way too many bugs.

the most disappointing for me was FFXIV online , FFXI its my favourite game of all time, i expected FFXIV to be a 1000x better... but i got exactly the opposite, BUT recently square-enix apologized for it then fired the staff and director and its now restructuring the entire game soooo i might give it a chance when ps3 version comes out, my second most dissapointing game would be white knight chronicles, it had so much potential, great art design (IMO) and decent graphics, everything else was just terrible beyond words, although the character customization its the best i ever had the grace to touch, such a waste :(

Crackdown 2 and Fable 3.

1. Mass Effect 2 ~ for basically ruining the IP for me
2. Dead Rising 2 ~ ACII for DR, did everything better, but just didn't feel as fun (couldn't even finish it)
3. Red Dead Redemption ~ an amazing world with a terrible story and horribly boring missions

Honourable Mention: Just Cause 2 ~ It was given to me with a description of it being "absolutely fantastic." It definitely was, until it got incredibly repetitive and pretty boring. Its a great action game, but has little to drive it.

Surprises:

1. Fallout: New Vegas ~ I wasn't expecting a role-playing experience almost as good as VtMB, with solid combat to boot
2. Donkey Kong Country: Returns ~ I was expecting a good game... but not something that mops the floor with the Rare originals
3. Cursed Mountain ~ I wasn't expecting the level of integration of Vajrayana Buddhism into a game, or the quality of integration

Honourable Mention: Kirby's Epic Yarn ~ A super-cute game that might be easy, but is fun in that "guilty-pleasure" way.

Hmm... For me it was probably Alpha Protocol...

I was expecting something good, not a mountain of bugs and other crap

Halo Reach... :twisted:

Though seriously, it was probably Final fantasy XIV. I haven't played it, but you'd expect it at least get a respectable score. Its sad how bad it did.

Final Fantasy XIV hands down.

Personally it was Final Fantasy XIII

SMT: Strange Journey. I'll try to give it another try someday.Luxen90

Same here. I was really excited for this game. I mean, finally, an installment to the main series, but I was left disappointed. The combat was average; it was way too simplistic compared to the other games in the series. Co-op attack wasn't interesting, but I did like the idea of having you align with demons of the same alignment. I hope the press turn system returns for the next SMT game. The story was so-so. The first half was basically a rescue mission filled with fetch quests. However, I found the second half interesting.

One thing that really disappointed me was that both law's and chaos' opinions were taken to the extreme. None of them brought up great points, so I just stayed neutral. Devil Survivor did the manipulation great, imo. Each side brought up great, valid points. They did an excellent job convincing you to join them. I loved the dungeon crawling though.

I would also like mention Red Dead Redemption. I recently rented it and found it boring. The first few hours are just a ranch simulator, none of the gun fights are entertaining, and riding your horse for five minutes towards your mission destination was dull.

GT5 for some. But I love it. FF14 is horrible.

Hands down, Final Fantasy XIII and its only my biggest gaming disappoint...it was such a mess :(

Its bad points are more memorable than its redeeming ones, so every time I write about it I just become pissed at its inadequacies. So for me it's a pretty obvious pick:



That he had the balls to release this game in its miserable state. I don't really think he's (solely) to blame here, I just wanted to talk about Peter Molyneux's balls (you can tickle them).

Honorable mention: Gran Turismo 5
Many a times have I asked myself why a certain thing about it is the way it is, and I can't think of a reason. At its core it's still good at being what GT typically stands for, but all the hype beforehand made it sound like PD had taken a vast step beyond that. And they kind of haven't.

An RPG obviously. :roll:

Definitely RDR. The game didn't let me do as many things as I thought it would. Aliens VS Predator is a close second, but it's still a good game to play every now and then.

Final Fantasy XIV might be the worst game I've EVER played.

Fallout: New Vegas, i was hyped for that like crazy.....so disappointing

DKCR: i expected a game that would take me back too a time when 2D platformers ruled. but was almost ruined by the pointless shake controls and it turned out that super meat boy was a much better 2D plaformer anyway and wasn't over priced like DKCR

GoW3: i did enjoy it but i guess i was spoilt by bayonetta

For me it was Resonance of Fate. There were just some things about the gameplay that sucked the fun out of the game. Not a bad game, but pretty disappointing for me.

For me it's Black Ops. I was really looking forward to a good alternative to Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops didn't deliver. I'm part of the apparent minority who prefer Modern Warfare 2 over Black Ops.

No idea. For me, I pick and choose and don't get a lot of games, and I am usually well pleased with the result.

New Vegas. Just a broken piece of ****. Tried to get back into recently but couldn't due to the game constantly freezing and making my console lock up. :| When it actually wasn't freezing up, the game was very boring. Unlike Fallout 3, which was not boring and also not broken.

RDR and Mass Effect 2. RDR-singleplayer was great but the multiplayer was disappointing. Mass Effect 2 was just not as good as I thought it would be.

GT5 . Words just don't explain my sadness ...I mean, PS2 cars...

Agree with OP

The first RDR was funner. RDR 2010 was so incredibly boring. Best thing it had going for it was the animals, everything else felt like gta4 in the west, and I hated gta4.
