Forums - Gaming - Which hyped game will be the biggest disappointment?

For me its the same old game with better textures. From what I have seen it doesnt do anything special. But I think online gameplay will be better than wii version.


Hmm... I see. But they are doing a couple of new changes actually and another thing is its a fighter. Nothing much you can do but add a gimmick from sequel to sequel. Anywayz yes online which is the most important but they have Customizable moves (this alone can be a huge game changer), with Namco helping them out the game is balancing out everybody, and some have a couple notable changes!

We also dont kno wats in store with the WiiU version exclusive mode. Lastly its a huge leap from Brawl mechanically (tripping gone, and gameplay returning to almost melee style!)

Ya know I would say watch dogs will bomb and be a disappointment, but at this stage I'm not really sure is any gamer not suspect of the way things have panned out with that game? From either dodgy press events, claims reviews are fake and embargo'ing the sponsored reviews until after the game has launched I think even the most care free of gamer will have alarm bells on about that game already.

I could be wrong, but are there really people with GTA5 lvls of excitement for watchdogs expecting it to be a 95% game on metacritic? I really doubt there are.

I guess my real bet for what game would be a disappointment to fans would have to sit with Smash Bros for Wii-U, I think a lot of people are hoping that will be the system seller for the Wii-U and after the let down that was Brawl to the tourney community I would think those players would be slow to drop the cost of a Wii-U just to be let down again by another casual fighter ruined by things like tripping and items you can't turn off.

Sakurai has shown nothing if not commitment to acknowledging the needs of the tournament crowd, and balancing them against the needs of the many of us who have no interest in tournament-style play. The tourney crowd should be quite satisfied with the new game (no more tripping, final destination versions of all stages), while we on the "For Fun" side also get what we want.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The new Flappy Bird releasing in August.

The Order: 1886 - Judging from short video reveal preview, the gameplay looks quite bland.
Drive Club - Meh.
Sunset Overdrive - Sunset overhype. Massive hype for this. I just can't see it..
Watch_Dogs - Huge delays. Release date embargoes. Mixed reviews/responses incoming?
Hyrule Warriors - It's a Warriors game. The only reason why some Nintendo gamers are interested in it, is because it has Zelda characters in the game.

This about sums up my position.

The Order looks stunning - but boring.  Hopefully that is not the case.
Drive Club - seems a hair's breath away from being in development hell.
Sunset Overdrive - I want so badly for this to be brilliant, but the devs are known for solid games, not astounding games.
Watch Dogs - They may simply have tried to do too much on too many platforms!
Hyrule Warriors - Agreed, there is just nothing to suggest this isnt a mediocre game with good character skins.

Yeah. Hoping most of those games turn out good. Maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic? who knows. They could turn out to be great games. But basing on what I've seen and the developers previous work/s, I think those games will disappoint.



lol Drive Club is hyped? It gets downplayed at every turn.

I have a feeling the order will be disappointing for PS4 (as much as I want it to be a great game)
For xbone I think sunset overdrive will fall way short of its hype.

I haven't been following the game much tbh. It did have a reasonable amount of hype before on this forum, and on Neogaf.

The Order. big time.
DriveClub. Even bigger.


2 PS4 exclusives, could you be any more transparent? Drive club is already gettign glowing press, you are going to be wrong.

except for watchdogs basically everybody here mentioned exclusive games.
Exclusives get much more hype than multiplat games, therefore they will appear on these lists more frequently.

I just think that people hype those games, because they are exclusives.
The reason why I am prediction disappointing games is that the developers behind it are just average. Sure RAD did Okami, but other than that there were just some ports for the PSP and a HD remake for the PS3.

Evolution studios are doing racing games for 13 years now and not one game had any impact. Those were just decent games, but that is it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

PS4 - The Order: 1886
X1 - Sunset Overdrive
Wii U - Hyrule Warriors

Do you even have an idea about The Order: 1886 developer Ready At Dawn Studio's track record? Here's what their games have scored on Metacritic:

1. God Of War: Chains Of Olympus (PSP): 92 (Highest rated PSP game on Metacritic)

2. God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta (PSP): 86

3. Daxter (PSP): 85

4. Okami port for Wii (Wii): 90

I think that's enough for them to be trusted in making a great game.

I already knew their track record. It still doesn't mean they can't make a dissapointment. Besides being a dissapointment is completely subjective since everyone has different expectation. I hope I'm wrong and it does turn out good but the game already doesn't have multiplayer or co-op, I believe, which means the story and gameplay will have to be excellent.

But have they included a Fox only stage select screen just incase there was any accidents? :D

That's really cool to hear tho, I think I played maybe 20hours at most of Smash Bros 64 but when it comes to Melee I easily lost over 1k hours between my own memory card save data and playing at friends or some tournaments of it I just pretty much think that Smash bros of the 6th gen was the absolute best fighting Experience, only matched by Super Street Fighter 4 in the 7th gen. Brawl tho.... I think I maybe unlocked half of the challenges that were there I doubt I played 20 hours beyond what was needed to unlock all of the characters, if it hadn't been preceeded by Melee it could have been far more enjoyable, but as the sequel to my favourite game at the time and the reason I bought the wii to begin with it just couldn't do that justice.

I guess when it comes to Wii-U smash bros from the sounds of it I'll have had it for a few months on the 3DS beforehand so I can know if the console version of it would be worth the price of the Wii-U for... that didn't work out too great with monster hunter tri Ultimate tho.
