Forums - Gaming Discussion - [Quick Thought] What game do you consider the most disappointment this gen?

There were several big ones:

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - After 10 years of waiting, and having loved the older games in the series way back to the X-Men:COTA days, words couldn't describe how hype I was. Alas, what we got was a broken, charmless mess, that Capcom has done a shamelessly half-assed job of supporting post release. The most comprehensive effort they made to fix the game's problems was a $40 re-release, which they've batted away requests to patch over it's myriad flaws ever since.

Devil May Cry 4 - The barren wasteland of the PS3's early days, coupled with my undying love of DMC, let me gloss over a lot of the game's flaws when I first picked it up--a shit story even by DMC standards, forgettable characters, Dante being pushed aside for a more boring younger replacement, disgusting asset recycling, and so forth. By the time the reboot came out, I wasn't even that mad about it, as I'd come to accept that DMC4 was nothing special--a far cry from it's precessor, which I consider the best in the series and one of the best games on the PS2.

Tekken 6 - Tekken 1 was the reason I got a PS1 (along with my Dad being too cheap to pay for a Saturn); Tekken Tag was the reason I wanted a PS2. Hence I was super excited for Tekken 6, which was the main reason I wanted a PS3 as well. I was hoping to have an experience that, if not as much of a revelation as Tekken 1 was, would still be as big a step up as Tekken Tag (and as fun).

Instead, what we got was a snoozefest. The bound mechanic has turned the matches into a series of mini-combo videos, making it boring to watch and play in a way that none of the previous 6 games had been. The game also looked bad, mainly due to the jagged aliasing that the motion-blur did little to improve on. Tekken Tag 2 improved on both fronts, but for me, the magic of the series is gone--something I've never expected to say after playing the games for nearly 20 years. Hopefully, Tekken 7 will bring it back.

:D

Around the Network

Halo Reach was the ultimate let down for me. Expected it live up to Halo 3 and it fell short on everything.



Probably all COD games, GTA IV (not because of being bad, but way overhyped), and Uncharted.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Resident Evil 5 and 6. I bought an xbox to play RE 5 and it was lame.



GTA IV for sure and of course Halo 4.



Around the Network

Probably dead island, it was a really popular game and lots of people enjoyed it I just lost intrest and stopped playing. This is probably the only game I have just completely stopped playing



Killzone 2.

Most boring game ever.

Excuse me, second most boring game ever.

The Most Boring Game Ever tittle is for Assassin Creed.



Definitely Metroid Other M for so many reasons



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

Does a virtual console game count? Even though I dare not specify which one...

Super Mario RPG really isn't any good.

That's too bad, but I'm still going to try it out eventually. :P Not the game I'm thinking of.

Not as many people as you think love The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I think I have one friend who doesn't love it. He just likes it. The rest love it

Assassins creed 3: it's just so boring.
LA noire: the lack of soul or any kind of fun was shocking.
Final fantasy XIII: snow and hope can burn in hell!!
Sonic 06: obvious reasons.
