That was just the video, there is a 60 minute one that includes Will Wright talking (out of his ass). Not all of it is on the video (particularly the beginning), but even then, it is pretty interesting.ChupathingyX said:

I will second (or third) Final Fantasy 13. I have played most of the series prior and loved 12, but 13 was just garbage that I could not force myself to play through.
I would like to add a terrible disappointment:
Too Human. This was an early X360 game that was boring and a little simplistic. It was in production since the PS1 days and when it did finally come out, it was just a throw away action game.

Let's see...
Spore. Officially when EA decided its userbase consisted entirely of drooling retards.
Master of Orion 3. Made by a douchebag who didn't know what he was doing, and it shows.
And...
RAGE. The point I lost faith in id Software. Graphics were nowhere near id what was hyping them to be (even after all the patches). Gameplay felt like something from at least 6 years ago. Only thing rage-inducing was the ending, most of the rest of it sucked.

I never heard of the game in development, but I saw it when it came out and pretty much said "wow what an interesting concept!".nimbylive said:
Couple hours later it was pretty much "why am I still playing?" It wasn't really that bad overall....but the parts that were bad really broke the game completely and made me not want to play.,
I would say the ending to ME3, but we all know by now that it wasnt the end, so mute point.
For me, Gears 3's ending was crap and Halo 3's ending was crap. There was so much hype and then it just.....nothing happened, even the final "battles" were shallow and easy.
They easilly trump ME3 by a country lightyear.

I think problem with Reach's ending in my opinion was the audience (most of them.....maybe not) knew that what the ending of the game was already going to be best on the story of Reach.wooty said:
I thought Gears 3 ending was good all things considered(Oh no FLAK ARGHGHGGH).
Kingdoms of Amalur.
A bunch of really pretty scenery and fun combat, but a terrible loot system, mediocre story and an extraordinarily bland world killed it for me.

I'm actually quite a fan of Obsidian and have talked them up at numerous intervals, but I can't really understand the New Vegas affection. It felt like the world's biggest expansion pack for FO3. There was literally zero difference for me, aside from a slightly shittier atmosphere and a significantly improved sniping system.Anthraxus said:
MOTB is Obsidian's high watermark.
Final Fantasy 12
It's Final Fantasy with a crappy story and incredibly unappealing characters. I've not even looked at the series since.

Well for me, it was what FO3 should have been. They were both similar (especially in looks and mechanics) but there was no room to role play at all in FO3. Like all of Bethesda's games that try to be non-linear you can clearly tell which story path is the "correct" one that the developers put the most effort into, the rest tend to but full of plot holes and lack of choices.BloatedGuppy said:
I think I went on and on in another thread on this subject about how I never really appreciated Fallout for the story, it was always about the atmosphere and the mise-en-scene. Pretty much true of Elder Scrolls as well, now that I think about it. The WAY in which I enjoy those games pretty much makes FO3 and NV interchangeable. I'm well familiar with the arguments in NV's favor though, and I don't doubt you've got a cogent argument backing up your opinion. It's just me.Anthraxus said:
I do have a soft spot for Obsidian though. Their involvement bumped my Wasteland 2 investment up to the next tier, and I even enjoyed the heck out of Alpha Protocol.
Duke Nukem Forever
I was expecting witty remarks and a fun run-n-gun gameplay like HL1/2 but with the duke
instead I got a COD-ish experience with dated jokes.
or COD Black Ops
I was expecting a fun SP set in the heigght of the cold war
and I got a short as ass SP with game getting prized down in a week or so
....I want my money back that,s 120 euro,s for games that lasted me less then a day!

Final Fantasy X
It started the whole, animated porcelain-skinned mannequins type people for that game franchise and I hate it for that reason alone. That and the awful voice-acting.

MOO 3 was definitely my most worstest ever.
Two honorable mentions definitely go to this year's ME3 and SRTT though, not for being awful - both are thoroughly enjoyable - but for delivering significantly less awesome than their predecessors. Both made real improvements but then screwed up equally or more-important things that they'd already done beautifully years before. MOO3, by contrst, completely bitched up everything it touched.

This isn't so much one of the biggest game disappointments in my life, rather one of the most recent. (SPOILER) I finally sat down and beat Hydrophobia...and then i had to replay the last checkpoint to make sure i didn't acidently skip a final cutscene or somthing. The game actually just ends after you hack a computer and round a corner. theres a cutscene of you being saved from a goon, you say you have to save someone named Skoot and then water floods into the area as you try to run from it and....thats it. the level ends and the credits role...
i've played games like Army of two 40th day that have terrible endings but Hydrophobia doesn't even have an ending...i'm not even sure you could call it a cliffhanger. the game just stops. Its not a great game to begin with but its literally like the developers ran out of time, money, or patience and said "Alright just finish the level and turn the lights off where out of here"
