Spore without a doubt. Not even close. I also stopped playing when i got into space. like okay... I'm done.
Games you've wanted for years before finaly getting them and finding out they're actually just shit.

I agree with you partly, the begining of Half Life 2 was boring, but if you keep trucking through you'll get the orgasm and you will praise Valve for thier godlyness...I'm pretty sure they aren't human.Saphatorael said:
Fable 2 Watched a trailer for it and cudn't wait 2 years later i buy it on the day it comes out trade it in with-in a week
I'm gonna say Spore too. I thought it would be amazing. Played it for five minutes, took it out my PC, wiped my arse with it, and never played it again.
I felt the same way about the first "Fable"; I only bought it seven months ago, played it for two weeks, and decided it wasn't up to the hype behind it. Now having played it, I will not even look at "Fable 2" because I feel it's going to be more of the same and I am most likely right.UpSkirtDistress said:
Note to you out there: "Remember we're talking about games you waited to buy, not games you could get close to release date: anticipation for a long while only to find out it wasn't up to your personal taste". *whew* (well I mean some people aren't still 'getting it')...
R6 Ravenshield. I loved Rogue Spear (which is not necessarily a sign of good taste in games) but Ravenshield annoyed me. The regular game was fine, I didn't get too far into it because killing bots doesn't interest me, but the multiplayer was a steaming pile of crap. I admit I had gotten used to playing Counter Strike but the guns felt completely uncontrollable even by Rogue Spear's standards. They took level complexity to an insane degree so most rounds lasted forever even if everyone was running around trying to find the other guy. In Rogue Spear this was somewhat helped by the heartbeat sensor but not in Ravenshield... Also everything was dark with muted colors so that picking people out from the scenery was almost impossible in many situations.
FF VIII fell into the trap of having more characters than you really needed. The ideal party consisted of two melee characters and one magic user in case you came up against something that was immune to drain, so your party is always made up of half what you need and half appendices and half dead weight that you'll eventually need to level grind for in case you get forced to use them in the last boss fight.FinalGamer said:
A big let down for me was Castlevania 64. I played it once as a rental back in the day and thought it was awesome at the time because I didn't get to play a lot of games. As an adult I saw it for sale at $5 and snapped it up only to realize 90% of the game was frustratingly difficult jump puzzles using characters that have roller skates for feet.
I'm really worried that Prototype's gonna do this to me. It looks epic in every trailer, every gameplay video, every screenshot.
But there's that margin of error, the gloss the trailers could be applying, the posing of characters the devs could be doing in the screen shots.
Please, Prototype, don't fail...

I was afraid to say this but yeah. I did not like the shift towards melee even if it's a good game, and those Saw-esque moments are kinda shit.Xerosch said:
That game was the first Castlevania game I ever played.Pumpkin_Eater said:
Since then I have never played any other Castlevania game. Ever. I am too tainted. THAT is how bad it was.
I was always a fan of the Castlevenia series; 1, 2, and 3. Symphony of the night really matched up to my expectations, so I felt that C64 would be very good right? Well fortunately I didn't 'really' buy it, merely it came with the N64 I bought off of a guy who was selling it, the N64 itself with 3 controllers, Zelda, Quest 64 as a bundle for only $150 and that was a sweet deal.FinalGamer said:
I gave C64 one week of trial and realized Castlevenia is NOT a 3D game and it should NEVER be adapted to that type of platforming. As I didn't buy the N64 until years after it had come out, you 'could' say that Quest 64 was also in this list of games I 'waited' for, because I was always a huge RPG fan and thought, "hey if i owned an N64 I think Quest 64 would be GREAT!", so in that case, Q64 is also on my list of "waited a long time for and realized it wasn't that great".
