Biggest game-related disappointment of the year?
- Thread starter Simalacrum
- Start date
The delay of LittleBigPlanet. I know it is a very short delay, but the reason for it was completly outrageous. For those who don't know, it was delayed because of some quote from the Quaran in one of the songs. Nobody cared about the quote when that song was written, and I believe that either it or the Artist is a Grammy winner.
My 360 bricked today. I've had it for 2 or 3 years and I never had a problem with it; then it chooses to be an asshole and die when I'm on the epilogue missions of Saints 2. As well as a week before Fallout and A DAY before Fable 2. I have both reserved and I am getting them but all I will be able to do for a month is hold them, stare, and cry.
I'm gonna go with the flow and say E3. I used to be trying to track down a Wii. And now I'm not trying anymore.
SPORE
This was the game that was supposed to put Maxis back on the map of pinnacle of videogames.
It ended up being 5 shallow mediocre games mashed up together. It really took them ten years to make this game?
Alone in the Dark
If you think the Xbox 360 version was bad, try playing it on the PC...
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Another mediocre game that fits well within the console legacy of shallow 8 hour long games with a $60 pricetag on it.

Call me negative, but I'm fairly paranoid about Peter Molyneux being able to deliver Fable 2 in pre-release projected glory. I sort of feel that the game may not live up to the aura.
& see if they've done any real good with the company (I do like how the new Banjo & Kazooie looks, but Where's a true goldeneye remake)Eldritch Warlord post=9.74446.835844 said:
I am not a huge fan of the LBP delays
and Too Human wasn't terrible, but was Way-overhyped, Haze almost was king of that category, 'Till it got edged out
Goldeneye doesn't need remaking, it's glory days have come and gone. Let other franchises take up the mantel.Delta4845 post=9.74446.835870 said:
And besides, Rare's only made more than one game in the Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie franchises. All of their excellent shooters stand alone.
Too Human was pretty great compared to what others think. The only disappointments I can think of is ES disbanding. That sucks.
Brawl was a bit of a disappointment, on two halves: one was the player's hightened expectations for the game. To me (and maybe it is just to me, I don't honestly know), it just felt like Melee re-vamped. The second was Nintendo's lack of foreplanning to counter these expectations.Indigo_Dingo post=9.74446.835699 said:
Hey, at least Madworld looks interesting, hm? A playable Sin City, how bad can that be?
now that you mention it i do recall that whole transaction. i suppose i did blank out of the whole video game scene for a while though. im still somewhat upset. just because i want to be.and if they made a new goldeneye i would straight away throw myself off a bridge, and if they were going to do anything with it it should be porting it to a newer system.
