Funny, no Fallout: New Vegas there when IGN named it their most anticipated game of 2010 and it turned out to be a pile of crap.

Fallout NV is a great game that launched with bugs, and for my 2 cents, I would have predicted NV's score a LOT quicker than I would have guessed that GT5 was going to end up at 8.6 on metacritic.

New Vegas is a resounding success imho. Just launched with a few bugs.

But GT5 is (so far) bugless and more attractive than NV save for the overblown framerate drops but yet NV is forgiven more.

Are we now in a frame of mind where we forgive the quality of games as long as they get into your hands as quickly as possible? What happened to the idea of quality gaming?

We are talking about 'dissapointments'...People didn't expect much from Fallout NV;;;An half year before release people called it already just an expansion pack for F3. How can it be a big dissapointment when people didn't expect from it in the first place?

Heck 1 and 2 should also be the disapointments fo the generation. Both games had excessive dev time, huge delays, promissed enormously and failed to deliver on this.

Both are still decent games, but not the master piece that they ought to have been. Heck any talented dev could have made 2-3 great game in that time span...

Good thing there were nice surprises like Uncharted for PS3 owners, otherwise this gen would really have been the end of sony.

Both are wonderful games (FF13 & GT5). You dont know what you are talking about...maybe it was something you saw on the internet

What has GT5 promised that it hasn't delivered on? We knew before hand that it wouldn't be able to hold 60fps at all times, Yamuchi himself said it.

GT is suposed to be graphical perfection as well as authentic driving. The graphical perfection is far from there (screen tearing, fps drops...) and talks about a patch for a game 5 years in the making is laughable. Had it released in 2008 i'd understand... but there, no it's a failure to deliver.

The delays for this game increased what it had to deliver tremendously because the reason was not "we're late", it was "we're perfecting it" or "we could release it at any time".

Nice avatar and signature, you really seem like an unbiased person for this subject.

@ Hephaetos

IMO Gran Turismo 5 is no Too Human or Alan Wake, it's easy to see where all that love for realistic/completeness car simulation was dedicated to.


I don't see which way your post points sorry.

but yes, GT5 is no TH or AW, the expectations were not the same. This is one of the only franchises that sells tens of millions, it comming out disapointing is a much bigger deal even if the game is still good.

Hah, my initial thoughts exactly. The list MOSTLY makes sense, though.



IGN puts the BEST SIM EVER on the list?



Actually what I have heard and played pretty solid list. For me the biggest disappointment of the year is Fable III. it didn'thave anything new compared to Fable II. Actually there were some cool features taken away.. Streamlined experience. Also as much as you some guys here love FFXIII it was disappointment for general puplic. There is no way around it.



Please IGN says that for this granny.

To be honest, I didn't click the link.  I stay away from IGN now, and have for quite some time.  That site has become of joke of itself.
