What Were They Thinking?

[Jakeyyyy]

What, if anything, during your years of gaming has made you gone... WHY?!
To get the ball rolling I'd like to ask who took the fun out of GTA?
San Andreas was a joy to play, but the return to Liberty City marked the point in which fun was traded in for sloppy 'realism'.
I wanna go back to stealing combine harvesters from rednecks, wearing gimp masks and tanks. TANKS!
Who decided that ploughing through everything in a tank wasn't appealing? The same Doughnut that had a fetish for making everything grey in GTA IV.
Anyway, what else has made you question people's sanity in the gaming world.

I'm glad somebody mentioned that. But I really would have to go w/ Sonic Unleashed. When I play that game, I see something that had so much potential. And that potential was thrown away for some stupid brawling levels.

Incredible Hulk (next gen movie tie in game). Ultimate destruction was a fun game no doubt. Sure it may not have been the prettiest but damn all the moves you got and the challenges made the game alot of fun. What happened? Did the shiny graphics (that couldn't run without lag) steal all the dvd space?

I'll second AITD. Such potential promised. I will never forget trying to open a door so I parked a car next to it and blew up said car. Door still locked. Hit door with an axe, door opens. So much for it not being scripted.
