Forums - Gaming - 10 GAMES that Didn't Live UPTO The Hype!

I'm playing through Fable 2 and yeah... they could have made the combat a little more challenging. It's an ARPG, yet the combat seems to have been an afterthought and was designed to be easy enough for 5 year olds to beat. When you can cruise through 95% of battles without any of them posing even a little bit of a challenge, it becomes a dealbreaker.

It had its problems, to be sure.  Its short length and tons of screen tearing being the two biggest, imo.

The plot was also pretty weak, but it was told in such a gripping way that you didn't really notice until a few days after finishing the game lol.  The cutscenes great.

My BIGGEST problems with HS were it's length and story progression. I thought the story could've went much farther and quite frankly, I WANTED to see more. After about the 5-6 hour mark, it just, kinda...ended. It left a sour taste in my mouth because I thought there was much more room for bosses, characters and plot thickening.

 

Actually, it was people from this site that got me to get it. I saw people saying great things about it and I'm like "Whoa, something I missed?"  God damn it VGChartz! YOU RUINED MY LIFE

I disagree.

I don't think RE5 should be on the list at all [well atleast not in the top 3]. Sure, it wasn't the best game ever at survival horror, but it was a damn good action game imo.

Also Moleneux does overhype a lot. But the fable still ends up very good. Fable 2 was a very solid game and I'm sure it disappointed VERY FEW fans.

EDITED 

This list isn't about how good these games were.  It's about how good they were in comparison to expectations.

ditto

relative expectations

people expected RE5 to be the PINNACLE of this gen like RE4 was one of those defining games of last gen

but RE5 was "just another shooter"

thats a MASSIVE fall from expectations right there

I suspect GTA4 isn't there because of its criitic reviews......the FANS are disappointed

but the critics weren't obviously.....or were "paid" not to be

In the bargain bin.

Fable is "over" hyped?

if anything its "under" hyped, the games are both superb imo, deserve way more sales than they have garnered so far



The conduit never gained the kind of hype RE5 & so on gained

but I agree.....if HAZE/Too Human are on there, The Conduit should be too



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I completely agree with RE5 being at no1. The game is just a disgrace to the RE franchise.




DISAGREE WITH RESIDENT EVIL 5



Terrible. Heavenly Sword, Resident Evil 5, and Doom 3 should NOT be up there



 

Favorite films. Foreign films forever!
