inFamous - Expected a prototype-esque type of game, got a third person shooter

Super Mario 3D Land - Expected a fun "open" world game like Mario 64/Galaxy.

Final Fantasy XII - The combat was so dull, slow and boring. Too bad because I liked the story.

Final Fantasy XIII - While I absolutely love the characters, world, story, I can't get a grip with the combat. It's fast, yeah but so easy and boring it's a "press X" fest -.-

Marvel vs Crapcom 3 - Worst MvC game ever, and that's quite the achievment considering MvC 2 wasn't good.

3DS FC : 4339 - 3326 - 7693. Add me :) Nickname Tin

Final Fantasy XIII. I couldn't even push myself to finish the game, and I tend to finish almost every game I play.

And recently, Diablo 3. I'm currently playing through the game and it feels like a step backwards from Diablo 2.

The thing is FF13 is one of the most dissapointing games of all time. But its not so much because its a shitty game (it was imo) but more because of how expectations were spectacularly not met. I mean it was a new generation of consoles and the first main FF title in quite a long time. I remember when i was small thinking if only FF games had graphics like the cutscenes that would be great. Well the graphics was awesome but they completely fogot to actually make a FF game. Worst thing a developer/publisher can do to a franchise imo.

Its great to build/evolve on a franchise but to completely remove core features of a franchise is ridiculous.

I think you can guess at this point what my most disapointing game is :)

Some people are very vocal about how much XIII sucked thinking if they talk louder they are more right.

Yes, they did take the gamble of removing features turning the game into an action/rpg hybrid but they did invest everything in the very pillar of the Final Fantasy franchise which is the story, a grand fantasy story, a final fantasy.

And that was absolutely in order after the open world XII, a completely story driven Final Fantasy game and that's what I was expecting.

I'm not being apologetic, it's not the perfect game but I'm just sick and tired of the broken record bitching about XIII.

Final Fantasy is not just about story...it is first and foremost a rpg game. It has been for the last decade the poster child for JRPG's.

I would have considered your argument had FF13 actually had a good story. But It was boring as hell, the characters just complained the entire time...

And you gonna have to get use to all the broken record bitchin cos its not going anywhere...when a developer messes up that much on such a popular franchise...people gonna bitch..ALOT!
