Project cars. After all the praise it had gotten on the pc it was just an average racer full of bugs and controller support as an after thought. And this whole tracks over number of cars (which I'm all for), still has less tracks than gt6.


Does that mean it was a huge disappointment for consoles? if it got praise on PC, then i wouldn't consider a total disappointment. Rather, for consoles only.

Nothing has truly disappointed me this year, but if I had to go with anything, I'd say MGSV solely because of the story. It was so uninteresting, and the story is a big factor in why I love the series. That being said, still my leading contender for GotY because the gameplay was so good.

What can I say, wish my year was that great. Beyond delays of games I really wanted, there were a couple games that really disappointed me when I thought I would absolutely love them.

I checked again and remembered that I also played a bit of FF Type 0 this year which wasn't particularly great. But it's FF so it's automatically great. I also played Thomas Was Alone and Undertale which both performed well under the high expectations other people gave me.

I'd still consider XCX my biggest disappointment since it dropped from "definitely day one" to "I hope the Wii U emulator gets good soon".

I hope for your sake they get one soon too. It's going to be a freaking epic game, boob slider or not.

I haven't PLAYED any disappointments, I'm very careful :P

But from what I haven't played, I would say Evolve. Extremely few maps, monsters, micro transactions, and DLC for stuff that should have been there from the start and no single player. It was disappointing on principle. Others might say The Order, but it was what it always was played up to be: a linear 3rd person cover based shooter with fancy visuals. Evolve? Was hyped up to be a big evolution in multiplayer. Turned out to be a nice idea that was never even fleshed out.,

Nintendo's Digital Event at E3 was another big one but also extremely bizarre. Cause they were doing great before that with their Directs, announcing good games and showing off new footage. And literally the day before they had the very enjoyable Nintendo World Championships. Then the Digital Event was this colossal train wreck. But then the Treehouse footage started and they were good again. One of the weirdest inconsistent acts I've seen in a long time.

Metal Gear Solid V was a deception to me, but I was expecting it already.

Maybe the lack of a new Rayman game.

Yeah, Nintendo's E3 was baffeling. They had so many other games they could have shown off more of/announce (like what they shown off this month). And even if they had absolutely nothing else to show, they had Zelda U. They should have seriously sat down and watched what they were about to put out to the world and see they needed more.

Personally, Bloodborne. I played it at launch, thought it was good/had a good time. REcently replayed it and realized just how barebones it is compared to the Souls games, which it is obviously based on. Boring color palette (next-gen and still we have games with awful color palettes), lackluster/similar bosses, short, boring pvp, poor build variety, etc. Made me regret ever buying my ps4. H

Hmmm, the colours palette is kindof nessessary to the feel and them of the game. It is a nightmare after all. And the last change of time the colours got more noticable. no?

I think that's fair. The whole quasi-victorian hellscape doesn't lend well to bright and vivid colors. I rather thought of the underrated Johhny Depp flick 'From Hell' in regards to Bloodborne :

As for the rest, it's all preference. There's a high probability that Dark Souls 3 will be superior on PC > PS4 > X1 as well, so having a PS4 is not a bad thing if you're a Souls fan and don't have a pretty stout PC.
