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

Stats87 on 12 September 2009

I totally agree about Fable and disagree with Heavenly Sword and RE5. I liked RE4 more then 5, but I thought 5 was still a very good game and the Co-Op was a big plus.

As for AitD, how much hype did that have?

Almost everyone was disappointed by RE5. It's not terrible but it pissed me off. It could have been amazing if they got rid of the co-op and set it somewhere other than sunny Africa.

I think it's a decent list, but Haze and Bionic Commande didn't have much hype to begin with.

They should be replaced with Lair and Star Wars Force Unleashed.

Well, I agree with RE5 as I was fully expecting it to be hands down GOTY and it clearly won't be. Doesn't deserve number 1, though.

Heavenly Sword shouldn't be there. Assassins Creed and Lair should be. Replace Red Steel with The Conduit.

First Fable was incredible the second one wasn't so good but still I'm sure there's worst game this gen then fable 2 and also resident evil 5 was my first resident evil and seriously it's one of the best games I had the chance to play so far



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

i agree with the entire list. its not to say that those games were bad. they just were not as good as everyone expected them to be.

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.

If that's the case, I don't think Bionic Commando should be up there.

Never saw any hype for it what so ever.

Heavenly sword was hyped ????????? i cant even remember re5 being hyped
oh and red steel owns btw...it wasnt even hyped as well

the site that made this shit fails hard

like "slimbeast" said Haze and Bionic Commando should be replaced with Lair and Star Wars Force

Unleashed.

Heavenly Sword didn't have much hype and if it did it certainly exceeded mine

RE 5 shouldn't be in there because RE 4 already hinted what to expect

Haze has hyped up to be a "Halo killer".

Because of Haze, we will never see Star Wars Battlefront III or a new Timesplitters game :(

F*** Haze!
