my top 5 most dissapointing games are

-Gears of war 2, its got a very great story, better graphics than the first, and a good addition of portable shields... but that doesnt save it from its horrible online experiences. i clearly anticipated this games multiplayer and waiting about 10-30 minutes for a match that lags bad clearly doesnt go with me

-Grand Theft Auto 4, my most anticipated game even back from 06, the main reason why i bought a 360(then a PS3 due to the fact that the 360's reliability sucked back then) but this game lacked the content of what made the previous installations fun, plus a VERY broken multiplayer from my experiences that the game would just be better without multiplayer

-Spore, due to the fact that how many people hyped it, it got me to hype it too. so i tried it out from a friend and i gave up forcing myself to play it after the first level

-Need for Speed Undercover, i am (well was) a huge NFS fan, and EA said that they were gonna return to the roots with undercover, because people didnt like prostreet... it was worse than Prostreet

-Guitar Hero: World Tour, i hyped that game alot because i absolutely loved the 3rd one. i thought it would be rock band, just 10x better... it turned out to have an horrible setlist(for my taste of music) and i just went with rock band 2 right after seeing the games setlist

and the winner is..........................

GTA4... dont get me wrong i still love this game, but the hype i gave it clearly it didnt live up to it... offering a horrible online service where i nearly broke my router cuz i was pissed off at the constant disconnection and Lag it had.... and also it was missing stuff that i really looked forward to

now give me your list of most dissapointing... well at least tell me which is your most dissapointing game

Far Cry 2

All the driving, Malaria, jamming guns, enemies that respawned and attacked on sight destroyed the game after a week or two.

I have to agree with GTA4. But Fallout 3 has to get a special mentioning, just for that ending. The rest of the game was fine. :lol:

Rondo of Swords. Haven't heard of it? Its a rather obscure Atlus SRPG for the DS. I just bought it on a whim because I wanted a good SRPG, and it was just so meh.

Silent Hill: Homecoming. It's a good, fun cover version of Team Silent's survival horror classics, but it lacks a number of fundamental assets that made those games so special. As is, it's just another run of the mill horror title to add to the pile.

2. GTAIV

And the biggest disappointment:

1. Banjo: Nuts N Bolts- I saw it coming but still, very disappointed...

EDIT: Oh, Fable 2 for #3.

GTA 4. I just wasn't having fun. Everything felt so meaningless. You eventually get that feeling in most GTA's, but with 4 it took about 3 hours.

GTA 4: I probably wouldn't have had as much of a problem with it except that the characters were absolutely terrible. I know that the characters aren't really the main draw of the series but Niko is probably the worst character in video game history.

Far Cry 2: Enemies with x-ray vision in a game that claimed to be realistic is total crap. Besides the visuals, Far Cry 1 was far superior in every way even with the mutants.

I'd still give GTA 4 an 8/10 but it wasn't the 10/10 masterpiece that many claimed it was.

Far Cry 2 gets a 5/10, I mean, come on.

I thought the characters were great. And Niko is probably my favorite game character ever. How is he the worst?

It wasn't the whole game that was dissapointing, but it was the lack of a survival horror aspect(and "scariest game ever" promise by EA Redwood) in Dead Space. The game was good, with very good controls and great sound and graphics, and it was fun. But it wasn't about surivival like Silent Hill or Resident Evil. This was probably intentional by EA, to make it accessible as possible.

GTA4 took the gameplay of GTA itself to new heights, but I eventually became dissapointed by the relative lack of customization for Niko, and the unfriendliness of the replay system. It was a hassle to get body armor and essential weapons, and baby-sitting the side characters was just stupid for the flow of the game.

I was dissapointed in MGS4's finale. The story leading up to it seemed nearly perfect, but the ending could have been handeled better. I also wish the battlefield enviorments had been around in the game for more than just two Acts.

So I guess no game was entirely dissapointing, just certain aspects that I found important.

GTA IV for not having any lasting value outside of the main story SSBB for having crappy online. and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and bolts for not even being a platformer at all.

Seriously, a beautiful sidescroller that is part of a AAA franchise. And it was a 7.5 at best.

My #1 would be Fable 2. The game feels too similar to the first one and I'm not really feeling it. #2 would be Too Human. After the demo, my hopes were shattered. #3 would be Haze. What a joke that piece of garbage was.

Spore. I wanted to like it but i just didn't. Beat it once and haven't touched it since. Considering i hated The Sims though i guess this isn't much of a surprise. It just didn't live anywhere near hype IMO though.

Gears 2 or GTAIV. Gears 2 because I hate the MP and that was pretty much one of the biggest reasons I loved the first one so much. And GTAIV just because... well, the same reason most everybody is dissapointed with it.

GTA 4 was definitely my most disappointing game of 2008... It wasn't a bad game by any means, but it was nowhere near as good as San Andreas in terms of addictiveness.

hmm...considering alot of games lived up to my hype as I expected Gears 2 online MP to be good but not special(which it is actually very good but not special) Resistance 2s sp to be average at best(which it is) MGO to suck(which i never cared for and didn't ruin how amazing the SP was) honestly .....i was never too hyped for anything so i guess i was able to enjoy alot of the games this year.... Too Human i guess would be my disappointment...i played it and was disappointed that so much of this games great moments are overruled by some stupid game design...the game had the potential to be one of the best games this gen...but whatever.
