Disappointing games.

Dead Island. I thought it looked really awesome in trailers, and once I eventually purchased it, I wasn't very happy with the results. It just got very tedious and boring quickly for me. I'm not exactly sure why, it just seemed like I was doing the same thing over and over. The graphics are incredible, though.
You forgot the part about people have extremely unreasonable expectations. ¬__¬BENZOOKA said:
As for me, I suppose Spider-man: Web of Shadows. That game looked so awesome, but when I got it I found the voice acting to be lackluster at best and I spent most of the time I did put into that game being Luke Cage's *****. Although it did lead to one hilarious moment where I accidentally exploded a car, because the auto-lock on for the web-stike locked on to it for some reason, and sent the driver flying and I manged to swoop in and snag the driver out of the air and put him safely on the ground. "Thank god I saved you! ...from me."
Well the ME3 ending has got to be the new worst ending ever but i'll let that one disappointment slide since the entire game bar the last 5 minutes was fucking incredible.
So maybe Brink? It would have been awesome if they had actually managed to make it not lag like a ***** for the first few weeks... I went back to it months after its release and it was really fun since omg no lag now! Pity it took so fracking long the whole playerbase has packed up shop and pissed off.
K, Witcher 2 was quite disappointing. There's a difference between actually being mature and just going "AM I GRIMDARK ENOUGH YET!? NO?! MOAR GRIMDARK INCOMING GUYS!"
The combat was fine if a bit boring. The characters were ok and shit but god the constant Grimdark in your face just ruined the whole game...
Now don't get me wrong I like Grimdark just fine, look at Dragonage 2 for example look at the world for 2 seconds and you'll agree that it's damn dark. The difference is that DA2's Grimdark was in the background, muted, never drawn attention to but always there lurking. Y'know like proper atmosphere!
It doesn't need to rub rape references and 50 billion swear words in your face every five seconds to remind you that it is feeling quite Grimdark today.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. That's right.
It wasn't a bad game at all, but the game was hyped in a way that wasn't really true to the product. It seemed like they were trying to sell us on a great story, with branching paths to objectives (implied to be like Deus Ex as opposed to Invisible War), and a strong theme about what it is that makes us human.
The actual game had this pretentious swagger to it, like it was trying to tell some kind of great story with deep characters, but I never saw that depth actually show. At best the game was on the level of an above average action movie. All those shots of Jensen sitting around thinking about what he's become didn't factor into the final game - ten minutes in he's fully augmented and about 150% more awesome at everything than before. What's the downside?
The combat was tight and the art was fantastic, but the "branching path" gameplay felt identical to Invisible War. You could either fight everyone in the room, or take the one air duct that leads DIRECTLY to the computer terminal you need to hack. I remember Deus Ex having maintenance shafts, catwalks, ventilation systems that almost comprised their own level. It felt like you were actually planning an assault on a functioning facility as opposed to following a linear "stealth path".
Anyway, I'm aware that Human Revolution was a good game, but I had gotten my hopes up for something groundbreaking, in either the story or gameplay department, and it simply did not deliver that.

I tried playing this twice. The first time I made it to the great plains...I think...in Chapter 11. The second I only made it to the part where you control Sahz and Vanille in a junk yard. I could have forgiven the game for it's story, linear design and, horrible characters but what I really can't forgive is the level caps and, fighting system. Another gripe I have is how they turned Shiva into an implied incestuous motorcycle.TizzytheTormentor said:
They took out Septic Avenger and Crowd Control and replaced it with tank mayhem and, a new flavor of trail blazing. I didn't like the new hand-to-hand fighting mechanics either.ImmortalDrifter said:

I was disappointed by how short Mario Kart 7 ended up being. Then again, I don't play multiplayer so my fault for having shitty internet.
Mine would be either Farcry 2 or Deus Ex : Invisible war
I expected alot more than bland piles of garbage
