Series that betrayed you.

[Shotgunbunny]

I'm gonna go with Warcraft first of all.
It used to be about humans and orcs gutting each other for control over Azeroth. The orcs were bloodthirsty monsters.
With 3 it was about some sort of interracial hippie gathering, with lots of hugs and flowers which then went to deathhug the evil demon thingies. And the orcs were the biggest pussies ever.

Let's just not talk about WoW, shall we?

Another capital offender: TES.
Christ, I loved Morrowind....holy hell, what type of idiots did they hire for Oblivion?
You know you need to shut down your entire company when you make a sequel that fixed everything that was bad about the previous, but destroys everythign that was good in the process.

GTA IV. Now, betrayal is a strong word, however I did feel more than a little irked when I discovered that the cheat- and PC-friendly, moddable game that was San Andreas was turned into a closed, mod-unfriendly, stupidly protected and badly converted console title. Rockstar, I have news for you: nobody likes or wants "Gaming for Windows".

 

[Crimson King]

I felt pretty betrayed when Duke Nukem Forever was continually delayed.

 

[Zombie Badger]

Currently i'm a fanboy of Bioware I guess, I mean, they haven't let me down yet.

Have you heard of the horror that will be KOTOR 3?

I haven't. Give it to me straight, I can take it.

It's an MMORPG. World of KOTOR, and if the other WoW knockoffs are anything to go buy, it will be exactly the same but with a different skin. Ready to kill 10 space-wolves for some random NPC?

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I felt betrayed by DMC 4.
I mean seriously who the fuck is this Nero guy and why is he such a whiney *****?
No Vergil or Nelo Angelo? Thats bull.
A game of dice!? Who thought of that!?
Not enough Mary .
Dantes new Devil Arms were also quite the let down.
Nero!
Saying that Nero is somehow related to Sparda and not explaining anything... at all. Which leads me to believe that the next DMC game will have Nero as the main character.

EA Games 'nuff said

Wait, that means you "were" an EA fan?

 

[Valkyira]

Metal Gear Solid. DAMN YOU KONAMI! WHY DID YOU MAKE SNAKE AN OAP????

 

[ArcWinter]

I'm only annoyed with Bethesda for the wait for TES5.
And why are the best games all coming out in November or later?!
Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed 2... SEPTEMBER IS SCHOOL. SEND US GAMES SO WE MIGHT BE HAPPY.

 

[tyzzni]

crash bandicoot and spyro the dragon have hurt me so
they used to be epic and gpood


not so much anymore

Ugh. I was wrong. I am shedding twin waterfalls of sadness.

No one ever seems to be an EA fan, but they do quite well for themselves in spite of it all. Interesting phenomenon there...

They only game that ever truly made me rage was Prince of Persia. The new one, where they leave you with the platforming and the magical ability to never die at all and take everything else away. You cannot lose this game, it is only a matter of time before you are victorious. And then, to add insult to, well, insult I guess, There was no fucking ending! They released the ending four months later as DLC, and expect you to pay extra for it. Fuck you! With lumber! This is the only game I have ever returned. Ever.

 

[Paradox244]

I felt betrayed by Zelda when they came out with that stupid cel shading crap. I was already pissed they turned him into a snot-nosed kid for the whole game in Majora's Mask but this was the final straw.

I haven't given it the time of day since then.

That's your loss man. Windwaker was awesome. Hell, Majora's Mask was awesome.

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

Fallout 3 dissapointed me so much. I HATED the item repair function from oblivion but found it got easier as the game went on, it got to the point where it was just a small inconvenience as i could repair things instantly anywhere i liked. FAllout 3 took this feature and inflated it to the size of a flying fortress. Armor isnt good because of what type it is, its good because of its repair level. Best items and weapons in the game are hard/impossible to fix because theres only a few/1 versions of it. This feature annoyed me so much that i had to use the console to make my stuff indestructable. The open world bit didnt really do it for iether, i imagined wandering the wasteland with caravans of traders and travellers but seriously theres nothing in the actual wasteland of any interest. All that stuff is in towns,caves and buildings that are seperate places.

 

[linchowlewy]

games, no.

movies yes yes and yes.

Transformers movie (michael bay one) was horrible. nothing of the original awesome and was a pretty avergae movie in it's own right

 

[itsnotyouitsme]

Well, I wouldn't say betrayed...

Let down, certainly. Final Fantasy after FF9. I mean, common, Tidus? He's acting like a little girl! Good LORD.

Oh, and FEAR 2. No where near as scary as the first one. I mean, how could Monolith screw that one up so badly? Even the little expansions were better. Ish.

i unno. FFX was the game they drew me into the final fantasys. till then all i played was... PE

Eh, my personal opinion was, while it was good... it just seemed... I dunno, more orientated towards the teenage girl? I mean, look at Tidus, hes a whiny little *****, that quite frankly, was one of the main gaming characters I'd dearly love to smack upside the face.

 

[Gamer137]

I was backstabbed by Spyro. Why did you have to start sucking after three games? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

 

[MrNades]

Banjo Kazooie, the new one just wasn't the same. Not the most horrible thing ever but just not like the good old days.

 

[AfroNinja117]

I'm not a fan-boy, but I feel that the CoD franchise let me down. Just when I thought they had stepped out of the past of WWII and into the modern times like everyone else, they jump right back into it. I'm glad treyarch or whatever finally came to their sense and are making another modern warfare game

 

[BolognaBaloney]

So far, all of them. I hope to all the deities everybody warships that Starcraft 2 is as good as the first.

If it is anything like the first, it will need to be shipped in gold boxes to alert the consumer that the golden box houses a true treasure.
