Biggest Letdown?

[LightningBanks]

when i came on the website today, and saw the fallout 3 challenge. I quickly rushed to register an account on the escapist so i could enter, only to find out that i had to be over 18.

I was so annoyed, as i do love my fallout 3, and dont have the pitt yet.

So my question is, have any of you had your hopes raised so high, and then quickly dropped again?

srry if this post was done before.

Level 20 in Fallout 3 was a massive letdown.

Resistance 2

Sins of a solar empire, so much potential but so bad.

 

[LightningBanks]

Resistance 2

why so? the co-op ill agree with though

Blazing angels, You killed my love of the flying game franchises you fiends!

Seeing as this is in the off-topic forum I assume this isn't limited to games.

In that case, every football season for the past 5 years has been one of high hopes and crushing disappointment for a Newcastle Utd fan like me.

The film Lesbian Vampire Killers was a massive let down. Awesome title, awful everything else.

The end of Fallout three. Huge letdown. Not game-wise, this past summer.

wow, co-op was the only thing i found remotely good about the game.
Where to begin?
Weapon wheel from R:FOM was removed, CoD crosshairs were added, weapons are boring and no where near as creative as the ones from R:FOM, regenerating health(R:FOM did the impossible by combining the health bar and regenerating health), the fearsome alien race known as the Chimera no longer pose a threat and act like retarded clowns, "superhuman" difficulty is a breeze, the antagonist is a flying octapus (for real insomniac?) who can be beaten in the final mission blindfolded with out ever shooting him, characters are completely unlikable, the protagonist is killed in the end in the middle of the trilogy(oops sorry to ruin that for anyone).

co-op chimera ride the short bus and is far too repetitive

competitive features like 4 maps for any game mode, CTF was renamed Core Control and more importantly you now have to actually carry the core, skirmish=meltdown(which was ruined from R:FOM), maps are unbalnced, gameplay is unbalanced, teams are unblanced, horrible server, start often don't count.

this is why R2 should go down as one of the worst fps of all time

Spore is the definition of disappointment.

Mirrors Edge. but EVEN more of a letdown was Kane and Lynch. i was really looking forward to that

Fable 2. I really enjoyed the first one, and the second was not as good as it was hyped up to be.

 

[throwitinthetrash]

About 2 years ago, I'd been craving a JRPG, as I hadn't played a new one in a while (slim pickin's.) I turned to Enchanted Arms.
As I put it in my 360, I could've swore I heard the Japanese laughing at me. = /

Another one for me was the A.I in resi 5, Sheva was terrible in my opininion, so i have to wait for my friend to come online in order to play it properly

Gods and Heroes. Nuff said.

I do enjoy the co-op but they take far too long,

They went halo with 2 weapon select the basterds..
They should bring back the bar health system that was good
Hardly they charge and kick your ass, but then again you are a rumbling can of whoop ass large enough to shame norris himself

the difficutly of the game is a matter of opinion and depends on how the players play the game

i agree with the final boss, but the phycic power was awesome

characters? again a matter of opinion

spoiler warnings, add them to the post now..
and what happened at the end is up for debate, he might not be

i dont agree with that point at all though i agree with the maps

the maps are balanced
gameplay is fine
teams are auto balanced for christ sake
The servers are briliant

this makes it an above average game

the server was good, but update 1.5 was a disaster and destroyed the server for week in which no ones stats counted.

the maps aren't balanced because they're not symmetrical. there's a CC map called Spire battlefield, on one side there is a doom fortress that never loses and on the other your basically spawn in the same place every time and die within 5 secs by the 10 snipers on the doom fortress!

i guess the auto balncing system is crap cuz i always get noobs

ok, competitive featured 2 one-hit kills with the pulse cannon, 2 with the lark, 1 with the splicer, the 40mm is an instant kill, tagging is cheap(your a loser if you use the bullseye), the marksman has a 1 hit kill, theres that suicide charger, a minigun with a shield, a gun that shoots through walls... with a shield, and yeah there's the sniper rifle too.

these gameplay elements jack the BS meter up and make it unbearable to play.

you know what?maybe i hate this game cuz i'm a R:FOM original. overall, R2 is noob friendly and focuses more on god damn casual gamers. before you say i suck at the game,let me make one thing clear, i have just over a 3.00k/d ratiome make one thing clear, i have just over a 3.00k/d ratio so i think it's pretty wierd that someone like me would dislike the game in any way.

No, R2 is alot easier. took me 2 weeks to beat R:FOM on superhuman, i beat R2 superhuman in a day, A DAY!

Too Human was a major let down for me.
