Forums - Gaming - The most disappointing game of this generation

In order:

1. Final Fantasy XIII- The worst game I've ever completed. Considering the history of quality the previous 12 games had, this was a horrible insult to the JRPG genre.
2. GTAIV- Compare to San Andreas... nearly everything is inferior.
3. Duke Nukem Forever- I wasn't expecting much by the time it came out, but remembering playing Duke 3D in the 90s... such a shame to see the series go out like this.
4. FEAR 3- and 2 to some degree. The series just kept going downhill.
5. Dragon Age II- Dumbed down combat, reused assets, slow to start, removal of races and generally inferior to Origins. Not a bad game and the story is fairly good but disappointed overall.

Killzone 3's single player was EPIC! but the story was crap.



I enjoyed Skyward Sword more than Twilight Princess


I must go with Other M...what a turd ! I´m not even talking about the Story, the production values were through the roof, the cg cutscenes look amazing and it has great graphics (from a technical standpoint)...the Rest ?
Falls flat on it´s face, shit leveldesign, shitty gameplay (fucking auto aim in a Metroid game? Pointing at the screen for first person mode)...was there even music (after the outstanding soundtracks of the 3 Primes)...enemy design ? A far cry from the Primes and even the earlier Metroids ! Controls ? Yeah it is a great idea to use a D-Pad in a 3D environment...it´s not like the N64 ever existed...



Bah !!! I hope that this gameplay style for Metroid will stay dead and we will go back to Sidescrollers and First Person Adventures!



Biggest disappointment was Skyward Sword. Other M was garbage, but I had zero expectations so it was in line with my expectations.

RE6 was just terrible. But, so was 5. A lot of the super hyped games were crap this gen



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Bioshock 1 , infinite . the most overrated games ever

Melee is one of my favourite games of the fifth generation.  I was expecting Brawl to replace it in multi-player sessions with my friends.  It didn't.

To shorthand it: I was expecting more than Melee 1.5.  I was expecting a better single player mode (I really, really didn't like Subspace Emissary). I was expecting functional online.  I wasn't expecting needless additions like tripping; or lots of clones like Falco & Wolf.  Etc.

Brawl Falco was well diversified from Melee Falco, who was an almost carbon copy of Fox. Similarly, Ganondorf was rewired from C. Falcon to a large degree, and the Mario-Luigi diversion grew greater still.

The online i'll grant. I don't know what in the hell they did wrong with their netcode (even compared to most other online Wii games), but goddamn.

The online "With Friends" is more than fine. It's actually much better than the fixed settings found in games like SFIV.



Signature goes here!

GTA 4. The series was getting better and better with every installment then, all of a sudden, BAM!, Rockstar dropped a stinking turd.

What is everyones problem with Metroid Other M?
I thought the game was good, I enjoyed it more than GTA 4.

Uncharted 1 after beating Uncharted 2 and listening to fans



 

Ninja Gaiden 3 has got to be it.  Close 2nd would be Aliens: Colonial Marines.  That game should not have been green-lighted to ship.

Oh this too, Uncharted 2 was very enjoyable (not as earth shattering as some want you to believe, but very enjoyable as a shallow-hollywood-movie-game)

The first ? ...urgh...
