LA Noire - Thought it would be better. I was so hyped for this game. The media could not stop talking about how amazing it was. I very rarely pre-order a new IP but I just knew this was going to be revolutionary. It still pisses me off that I bought that turkey Day One. So boring and awkward and bland. I never finished it.
Bayonetta - Thought it would be better. I will admit it, I was enticed by the smutty vibe. That got so old, so fast, however, to the point that even I would roll my eyes at how silly it was.
Uncharted 2 - Thought it would be better. Now, I'll be honest, I didn't get that far into it, but auto-platforming does not excite me in the least. That whole bit with the train bored the hell out of me.
Tomb Raider - Thought it would be better. Kind of the same with Uncharted 2 but much, much worse. I didn't care for the auto-platforming but the QTEs totally killed it for me. I've never been more annoyed with a game in my entire life. I deleted it with relish.
Crysis 2 - Thought it would be better. People were still praising the previous Crysis games and a lot was expected from Crysis 2. Damn, though, I don't know if I've ever cared less about a story. Some levels were fun but, mostly, I just wanted it to be over. I simply did not care about what was happening at all.
Far Cry 3 - Thought it would be worse. That game exceeded my expectations by a lot.
Suikoden - Thought it would be worse. Rented this as a kid. I'd never heard of it before. I just assumed it would be like something to get me by until another Final Fantasy came out. Turned out to be one of my favorite series of all time.
