Forums - Gaming - Games that badly disappointed?

Regular disappointed: God of War 2018/Ragnarok (don't like the new gameplay or Kratos as a dad), Resident Evil 5 (dull after playing 4), Super Mario Sunshine (too many issues for a Mario title) and Zelda Skyward Sword (terrible game structure and gimmicky controls saved only by awesome dungeons).

Badly disappointed: Yoshi's Story (tailored for 6 year olds), The Last of Us 2 (terrible story), Resident Evil 6 (is this COD Zombies?), Metroid Other M (a mess of a game) and the Zelda DS games (bland titles that controlled like garbage).

Yeah, it worked in RE4 at the time(although its a bit outdated now), but RE5 is a straight up action game, so not being able to move while aiming was bad. I hear its fun in co-op though. Makes sense since you dont have to deal with the idiot AI. 

Absolutely! If you ever dare and give it another shot, make sure to play it in co-op with someone. I can't even imagine playing it by myself to be honest lol 



As much as I enjoyed my time with MP4Beyond, it is far below the standard we have come to expect from the Metroid Prime series. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is another one— never played it, BUT from all that I’ve heard, it is a very bloated game. I do not like games that waste my time, and I was especially disappointed when M&L was one of the top franchises I had been waiting for all Switch gen.



Mass Effect: Andromeda. Not living up to the quality of the first three games would be one thing, but I will unironically argue that Andromeda is the single worst non-live service AAA game from the PS4/Xbox One console generation (with the possible exception of Crackdown 3, but I can give that one a bit more of a pass since it got kneecapped at an early stage when the whole cloud computing-based destruction physics thing fell apart).

And then Bioware somehow got kept around to produce probably the worst non-live service AAA game of this console generation with Veilguard, so I'm guessing at this point EA is just keeping them around to claim tax write-offs on the millions upon millions that the company pisses away to produce its garbage.



Absolutely Kingdom Hearts 3 for me! As much as I respect Nomura's direction for this game and like the changes in the gameplay that makes it more exciting, lots of things with the story, characters, and just overall feel just felt off to me.

Dead Rising 4 was the most bland, boring and generic game in the series, it's almost as if someone said what if Dead Rising but AAA slop-oriented? With poor optimization, ugly graphics, the assassination of Frank as a character, bad story... It almost killed the franchise, and I say almost because we got DRDR rather recently.

Some people criticize 3, and that's fair , because it has some major flaws here and there. Nonetheless, I love the game as much as the first two and played it many times over like the previous games! It's got its own strengths! But 4 is just impossible to defend.



Spider man 2 ps5 was pretty disappointing. It's not bad, but the game feels like it is trying to do way to many things and just ends up feeling messy and unsatisfying.
Metroid prime 4. Again not a bad game, but just has a lot of annoying issues that hold it back.
Last of us 2. Also not bad. I never felt that the first game needed a sequel but I was confident that Naughty Dog could pull it off. That confidence was misplaced, they dropped the ball hard.

I heard they turned Peter Parker into a total loser in that game, is it true?

Not sure what you mean. He's pretty the same when he is just Peter/Spiderman. When he gets the black suit his personality starts changing which is what the symbiote does. That said I agree it's kinda let down because it's pretty much the same game as the last 2 games with the exact same story and gameplay beats and the same plot elements. All 3 games are pretty much the same game. It's kinda boring now. I wonder what Spider-Man 3 will do..introduce a best friend early in the game that in no way will be the final boss surely...*sigh*

F.E.A.R. 2

The original was one of the greatest shooters of its era; the sequel jettisoned pretty much everything that made the first one great in favour of watered down, paint-by-numbers drudgery.
