Two-Worlds. I should have read reviews first, but at least I got my money back. That game stank worst than shiz.
Games you thought you'd love but you turned out hating them.

OK... I lost my post. I said (in TL;DR mode) that I don't like Mario Kart (the ENTIRE series) or Super Smash Bros. Melee (the other two are fine).
I keep hoping the new Mario Kart will make me hate the old ones less, and they do, but only because they're even worse. It's all the worst parts of a racing game but with beloved characters laughing at you from the finish line instead of faceless cars. Every time I give it another go, hoping I'll like it, but they keep kicking me while I'm down.
I owned a copy of Melee so mostly I was attempting the single=player modes until I got bored then setting up my own Ultimate Battles because my testosterone was pumping to see some action and it never happened, they either weren't a challenge or kicked my ass, and yet I struggled with the game for months trying to squeeze fun out of it before I decided I literally never wanted to see it again.
I'm rather fond of Brawl, though. Huh?

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I did not like it and the fact that it's getting a sequel confuses me. I thought that the controls were clunky and the lightsaber, the ideal weapon for a Star Wars game, was underpowered. Still, I did enjoy throwing a Stormtrooper a hundred feet into the air.

I loved the Command and Conquer series to death, and enjoy all their series (Generals, Red Alert, Tiberium wars), and once I heard that C&C 4, the finale in the series was coming out, I was so happy.
I was SO disappointed. Not only in a weak finale for the series, but that's not the point. In over a DECADE of building up a base and dominating enemy bases and building up units en mass, you get used to it and start to enjoy it. But in C&C4 they REMOVE the base, every single bit of it! You get a mobile command center that loads units while moving around, and you get a unit cap so you can make any unit without price or such, just keep pumping it out. It took away over a decade of work into making it and they just adapt some style that the few remaining fans actually regret buying the game entirely! Biggest mistake in C&C's history, even bigger than EA's buying of Redwood. That bad.

Morrowind and Oblivion are the only two games that really disappointed me, I expected them to be epic and awesome, and they turned out clunky and unpolished. I didn't hate them at first, but after playing them, I started getting angry at what they could have been, and ended up hating them.
Not to say they were totally worthless games, not by a long shot, I just expected so much more, especially from Oblivion.
On the other hand, I went into Fallout 3 thinking it would be horrid and disappointing, and actually liked it. So I suppose the key is not getting hopes up.
Oh I almost forgot, Hellgate: London, the biggest disappointment ever. I was beyond excited for this game, that CGI intro movie they released... I must have watched it 100 times, I was p-u-m-p-e-d. Then it was 20% of a game with "content to come" that never did.
I agree with you on the graphics, I prefer AION/Lineage graphics, more "real" I suppose. Though I can appreciate WoW's art style, they've done quite a bit with that outdated graphics engine, and made some breathtaking scenery.

Coming from EVE you thought WoW was complex? What were you doing in the EVE universe for a year? cruising 9 sec space missions and mining beginner ore? One of the things I've always appreciated about EVE is it's complexity; tons to do if you have a good PRC.RebellionXXI said:

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Read about it and sounded like a great concept but played it for all of 30 minutes and absolutely despised it.
morrowind. sorry. i even played for a solid 20 hours just to give it a better shot and just couldnt get into it

Brutal Legend. Jack Black+Heavy Metal+Swearing and Violence in a world run by headbangers and rockers? That's fucking awesome. Too bad the game play was awful and repetitive.
There have been pleanty of disapointments in my time as a gamer...but the two prevailing ones must be Shadow the Hedgehog and Two Worlds
I'm not confused, and I'm curious as to how you got that impression. I just think that what's included in the story is silly to me.ForgottenPr0digy said:

I don't know how a game manages to make impaling people with sign posts so absolutely boring.

Resident Evil 5. I heard all these awesome things about it, but when I finally played it, I was indescribably disappointed.
