Since it's about the end of the year it's a good to to put it up. Don't put a game down that you knew was gunna blow by bad reviews or something. Put down a game you actually had high hopes for and then saying to yourself "wow this game is a joke". Just put down the game or if you want bad things about it. Mine would be Farcry 2. Mainly cuz of long rides from mission to mission. 20 mins to get there 5 mins to beat it and so on. Didn't like gunjams either...

It wasn't really a joke to me, cause I didn't laugh when I played Far Cry 2... even with the bus stations, you spend most of the time driving. Controls, graphics, sound, presentation were all there, it was just the repetition that killed the game for me. It would have been more interesting if rhinos, elephants and lions tried to kill me in the car when I get to close instead of the random groups trying to shoot at me while driving.
Duke Nuken Forever is the best joke ever in gaming history. When it's NEVER released I will laugh for eternity. Honestly, it's been so long, it doesn't even matter. if it is the best game ever that will cause Jesus himself to come down and pick up a copy, it still won't matter. if it flops hugely, everyone will just laugh. But, since it won't be coming out, it'll remain a joke that we use here and there, like, "hey guys, GameX got delayed until next year, bummer." "oh yeah, just like DNF is getting delayed right now!" I don't know what I'm talking about.
Mine has to be the ending to Fallout 3. For 36 hours it was probably one of the best games I've ever played, and then there was the ending... I think at the time I actually said aloud... "what a joke!"
MK Vs DC. I've been playing MK since day one, pumping all my pocket money into the game when it first game out in the arcades. I was stoked when I heard a new one was coming out for the new consoles, but IMHO I think its a joke. Very little of the key elements that made MK great are in it at all. And 'Heroic Brutalities'?!?!?! EPIC JOKE.
o ya definetly madden 09 they took a downgrade in the graphics and the recievers catch the same way every time and there were plenty other thingsjrorl63
Downgrade in graphics? No way, play 08 and then pop in 09. Noticeable difference. If anything with the receivers it would be the number of dropped balls. It's ridiculous.
personally id have to say too human or unreal tornament 3 for 360. i was really looking forward to both of those and i must have played them for an hour each before binning them
Far Cry 2. I reviewed the game in a message to a friend. Quoting myself:
This game is garbage. "Disappointment" is an extreme understatement here.
Let me give you the lowdown on how every single mission in this game is going to go:
- You drive for an hour to the guy who gives you the mission. - He gives you the mission. You pray it's near a bus station. Your prayers aren't answered. - You drive for two and half hours. - On the way, you will be attacked by absolutely everything that sees you. There are guard posts everywhere. Each of these has about 7 douchebags. Every time you go within a ****ing mile of a post, all 7 start shooting at you and your vehicle. If, by some divine miracle, you manage to get away from them while your vehicle is only slightly damaged, they will grab trucks with mounted machine guns and chase you down. They will damage your car to the point in which you have to stop to make repairs. At this point, you get out, kill them with any gun you have available to you. Repeat for the 568 more guard posts that you will go through on the way to your objective. - A week later, you get close to your objective, but realize that that brand new MP5 you left town with is now on the verge of blowing the **** up and jams itself with every other bullet you fire. - You backtrack a few million miles to the nearest weapons shop and get yourself a replacement. - You make it to your objective with your MP5 only slightly ****ed up. You kill/maim/intimidate the objective. - You get to drive all the way back to town for another mission. Hooray.
Edit: I don't like to flame games, that's not me. But the demo for L4D was such a letdown, maybe I should have played it co-op instead of solo. I know the retail version is funner with friends so I might play it one day. It's just that first the game has to prove to me that's it worth it to play with a friend. The demo did not do that for me.
Im a big nascar fan so for me it was def Nascar 09. This game was sooo bad, it is nothing like nascar. The driving was ok but the rules and everything were messed. Its a joke to me because i actually laugh at how badly done it is.
Far Cry 2 due to the repetitveness and the long times it took to get from mission to mission (bus stations did help but not THAT much)
Frontlines:Fuel of War. The commercials made it look like so much fun and i never really looked into it so i bought it, beat it, played some XBL and left it on the shelf. Very generic.

You know about the bus stations, right? You should also pick up new weapons at the gun dealer every time you finish a mission. That way you have new weapons that won't fail. Also upgrade the reliability and accuracy of your favorite weapons so you can get more out of them. Never pick up enemies weapons unless you're in a pinch. Those are the ones that usually jam at the least opportune moment. Honestly, I like FarCry2 a lot. Much more then any other shooter this year. That even includes CoD:WaW. After playing FarCry2, running into invisible barriers feels so 1998. I hate feeling like I'm forced to go a certain direction, like there's no way around an encounter or only one way to complete a mission and what's exactly how WaW feels. I know the purpose is to be cinematic and that's the reason for it, for all the scripted events, but it just feels outdated now. If there was a game that I was really disappointed in this year it would have to be Battlefield: Bad Company. Even after the updates, the game is still horrible. It just feels broken.
i would have to say that my biggest dissapintment was EndWar, i thought that the game would be awsome, but the gameplay is WAY to simple, its very much Rock-Paper-scissors.
Now, don't get me wrong, I loved Gears of War 2. But the ending boss was GARBAGE!!!!!!!!! It took like 30 seconds to kill on insane mode. It was harder for me to kill a Reaver on insane than kill the final boss! When I looked at it I was like, "Omfg that thing is f****** beast!" But it's not. At all.
too human was the only real "joke"this year everyother game was either better than i expected or exactly what id expect depending on the devs and the time given to it
everything this says ! far cry 2 was such a joke, i played it for an hour, and i couldn't handle it anymore. i couldn't see what the **** was shooting at me 9/10 of the time, and i got ambushed every 50 yards. what a JOKE!! that, as well as the gears 2 final boss. i agree with the person above me, it took 0 skill to beat, i just held down r trigger for 20 seconds o.O talk about buzz killington :S
Need For Speed: Undercover. Whilst barely understanding what I am doing through some of the missions, the only thing i liked about the game was the graphics. Midnight Club LA is so much better in comparison. Need For Speed gets worse and worse.
I for one was also disappointed with Bioshock. I didn't really like the setting, theme, sounds or graphics. I was suprised considering i heard such good news about it.
Fable 2 wasn't as good as i thought it would be, too.
Im very suprised that Legendary has supposedly turned out to be awful, it really had the potential to be amazing.

[QUOTE="AlwaysHaveHope"] [QUOTE="AlwaysHaveHope"][QUOTE="darksusperia"][QUOTE="AlwaysHaveHope"] The online's not sh*tty. It's sketchy to an extent but not as bad as you "think" it is. The diamond upgrade aspect is a decent way of leveling up your weapon classes seeing that the whole game is based around diamonds. Some weapons may not be great but not crappy. It is one of the better games of the year. Play the game enough to talk crap about it. Mine would be Farcry 2. Mainly cuz of long rides from mission to mission. 20 mins to get there 5 mins to beat it and so on. Didn't like gunjams either... bus stations..... cant think of any.

There are a few things I really don't like about FarCry 2, but I still like the game over all. It clicks with me, but I can see why others would hate it.
On topic I didn't play any bad games in 2008, I guess I'm easily pleased. I even liked that free Dorito game for about 30 minutes.
You can just tell their are alot of 8 year olds in this thread..... Mine would also be Farcry 2 broken game and a disgrace to the franchise BFBC close 2nd also a disgrace to the franchise

Agree with both statements. Loved gears 2 but the end boss was a joke. I thought FC2 was terrible for the reasons given above as well. I tried to give it a chance but the more I played the more I disliked it. It's now listed on ebay.
Fable 2 was supposed to be like fable 1 only with tons of improvements... What happened? Too Human was looking so awesome, control scheme might have even worked too but the rest of what it was, that killed it.
I think CoD: WaW was a huge joke. I couldn't believe how bad the game really is. I'm glad my friend let me play his copy. I would of been pissed for buying it.
