Mirror's Edge

I'm actually enjoying that game currently. I may even buy it again for PC when it comes out.

My opinion of the game may change depending on how the total experience pans out since I know the game is fairly short. If I find myself saying "That's it?!" when the credits roll, it may end up on my let down list for 2008.

It seems doubtful there will be another based on initial sales figures.

 

Yeah, at first I was loving it, but along the way it got so repetitive and frustrating especially when you're forced to fight. Didn't EA say that Mirror's Edge was going to be a trilogy?

Mercs 2. Not that it was as hyped as a lot of other listed games, but it just wasnt that fun to me. It had wonky controls like GTAIV, but none of the depth. Blowing things up can only be so fun for so long.

Unless the game sees a lot of sales over the holidays, it seems really unlikely the trilogy will be finished. First week sales, as an early indicator for commercial success, were pretty horrible.

It would be nice to see the IP further developed since it does take a refreshingly new approach to FP games, but cost might not be justified if no one is interested in buying.

Haze ! i was hoping for a good coop shooter XD and it had really good trailers too damnit ! didn't play the full game but the demo sucked ass !

You know the title said most disappointing MULTIPLAT game of 08 lol, but it's all good Staude you're cool  :) . To be honest though bro, multiplat aside, Haze is probably THIS GENERATION'S BIGGEST LETDOWN. Two Worlds takes the crown as the WORST game this gen...period.

 

 

you and @nordlead

my bad XD... whoops. Well in my defense it was said to go multiplat around winter :p

 

Well lemme try again then. I don't have a lot of multiplat games but.. i was a bit dissapointed in both devil may cry 4 and gta 4. Instead of listing the absolute worst (because they were both good games) i'll say what were dissapointing in them. (i do this because i realisethat i don't have bad games :P i must have really good taste cough cough lol j/k)

GTA4. First of all the AA in that game is terrible. there are some missing aspects that remove some of the immersion of a otherwise complete fantasy world.. Furthermore it got freakin boring after a while. They need to reinvent the mission system.. a lot. (and the missions themselves)

 

Devil May Cry 4. While also a good game.. it felt more like devil may cry 3.5

Sure there are some new cool stuff and all, but it simply didn't feel like they innovated it enough to keep the freshness of the series. Felt like devil may cry 3 but a little slower and a little more boring. Good idea with nero, too bad it wasn't enough (in my opinion)

 



Check out my game about moles ^

SW:TFU, especially in regard to hype/end result.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
