Are there any games they really disappointed you, that you thought would be a really great game but turned out to be just good, average or sucked? Perhaps not lived up to its predecessors greatness, or a new IP that you felt just didn't deliver what you had expected.

Here I will list four games that I was disappointed with.

Zelda: Twilight Princess(GC). While I did enjoy this game a lot, the whole wolf part kind of ruined the experience for me. I just didn't enjoy that part of the game at all, and it took up, more or less 50% of the game. I felt disappointed.

Battlefield 2142(PC). For me BF2 was the best online multiplayer FPS on the PC for a very long time, it had everything and was truly a great game. Then DICE released this game and I just... felt disappointed.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs(PC). The previous Amnesia and Penumbra games were so great, I truly loved those games and still play them from time to time. When AMfP was announced I felt so excieted and hoped for a truly great experience once again, but this game was just so awful and flat. I didn't even finish this game. So very very disappointed.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts(X360). Both Banjo Kazooie and Tooie delivered a great experience for me, so I had so high hopes for this game to be a great game too. When they first announced that it was not Banjo Threeie I felt a bit surprised, but still I was very excited for this to be released. And in the end I felt that this game did not deliver even the slightest bit what I had hoped for. Achievement unlocked: Disappointed gamer.

What about you?

I can understand not enjoying the wolf sections...they weren't for everyone. But they weren't even close to 50% of the game...maybe 20% at most. 

Sorry...Zelda fanboy automatic defensive reaction. :p No hard feelings, I hope! 

Anyway, the games that disappointed me the most:

Mario Kart: Double Dash-Mario Kart 64 remains my favorite MK game (hopefully 8 can top it!) and DD just was everything I DIDN'T want in Mario Kart.

Wave Race: Blue Storm-They took one of the best Nintendo 64 games and totally "westernized" it...losing all the Japanese charm and making a game that (to me) felt frustrating and clunky and difficult. I just couldn't get into it. 

Super Mario Sunshine-Super Mario 64...classic. This game...FLUDD gimmick, dull overdone "tropical" island themed levels...just meh. I don't want to spend my time in a game cleaning up graffiti. 

Basically the Gamecube was a HUGE disappointment to me...other than Melee and Paper Mario: TTYD. 

Super Paper Mario-They changed the formula of two of my favorite games ever...and the Paper Mario series hasn't found its way back since. 

Paper Mario: Sticker Star-Originally my MOST ANTICIPATED 3DS game by a mile...then I played it. No incentive to battle with no Exp/levelling, frustrating "thing" sticker system...so disappointing. 

You are probably right because in all the dungeons and such you are still Link. :P For me it just felt too much. Also the travelling on the sea in WW felt okay the first time I played the game but the second it felt so meaningless long, so I prefer the WW HD version. It's how it should have been made from the start. Also all the mask switching and especially the "time limit" in MM bummed me out a bit. Only beat that game once. :/ I wish they would release a new version of the game(MM HD) and make the time-part different in some way. Not sure how as I don't want them to change the game too much. The mask part they should of course not change. :P

I'm also a Zelda fan by the way. Best series ever made! :D Can't wait for the next Zelda to be released for Wii U. Hopefully sooner than later.
