What's the most you've ever been dissapointed by a game?

This. For awesome mutant creatures, try Impossible Creatures. For a better version of Spore's space stage, try Ur-Quan Masters(it's even free).Wuggy said:

I was promised an epic evolution-based exploration/combat game. What I got was a whittled-down rip-off. The end-game especially was disgusting, and the expansion packs were the final nail in the coffin.
Will Wright broke my trust. Never again.
Oblivion was a pretty big let-down. I suppose it's partially my fault for going into it with high expectations, but whatever the case may be, I simply did not enjoy any of the time I spent with it. If I had to choose a few words with which to describe the game, I'd go with "dull" and "eyesore." All of that being said, I am interested to see what happens with Skyrim. Now that game looks like it could be impressive.
Bioshock didn't disappoint so much as make me want for its successor, which I played first. Yeah, collecting ADAM is unpleasant and being an inferior Big Daddy means moving about as though one is a glorified garbage bin, but on the whole, I simply enjoyed it more. I had more fun looting and I really liked the addition of the Big Sisters. Story-wise, I'm not really sure which one I prefer. I kind of prefer the characters in the second, but the first story is probably superior. To be honest, there are very few games I play for the story, titles by Atlus and Mass Effect being notable exceptions.

Hmm, can't think of many games, but words can not express the disappointment I went through with the 3DS. I got mine launch day, traded it in a week later. I guess if consoles don't count, Street Fighter 3DS was rubbish. I have no problem with having special move shortcuts on the touch screen, but not having it disable-able online just ruined the game. Every single Guile player online:
Sonic boom, Sonic boom, Sonic boom, Sonic boom, Flash kick, Sonic boom etc etc.
I'd say this but Final Fantasy XIII doesn't want to give up its spot for "Biggest Letdown" on my trophy shelf.not_you said:
I'd have to go with W40K: Space Marine and maybe Darksiders on the PC. I pre-ordered Space Marine and it's just been so buggy, I've tried the majority of the hotfixes and it still isn't playable, and by that I mean, audio-stuttering, insane FPS drops, bizarre technical glitches etc. The first chapter of the campaign worked fine, and it was rather fun, but apart from that my experience hasn't a fantastic one, hopefully it gets patched soon.
Darksiders, mainly for the same reasons as Space Marine, that and the fact there isn't any graphics settings at all.
Funny how they're both published by THQ, just a quirky observation is all.

I'm with you on that one, honestly it just bored me to the point where I said 'screw it, it's not worth my time" I hated almost everything about it, the world, the characters, the dialogue. Almost anything you could say about that game, I hated it. Also i'm not pumped up for Skyrim either. I'll be watching game play video's before I buy it.LiberalSquirrel said:
BUT wait! There's MORE!
My real "Biggest Disappointment" was in Front Mission Evolved. So far I have never played a game worse than this, and I've owned a few shitty games in my day. Worst cash grab I've ever seen, especially considering how much I loved the other Front Missions
Easy, easy pick for me. I was a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan for the first ten years of his career, up through Sonic Adventure 2 (which is still a fairly decent nostalgic romp). Then Sonic Heroes was announced for all three then-major systems. I was excited to see my blue blue make his comeback and carry on the fun...
...alas.
Sonic Heroes ended my faith in the Sonic franchise for a long, long while, and it still hasn't fully recovered. Awkward physics, railroaded levels, and just god-awful graphics and voice-acting, combined with somehow really, really frustrating level design, meant I never finished a single team's story.
I still watch Sonic's recent releases, but my old childhood hero and friend has been permanently broken since Sonic Heroes, and I'm afraid that nothing short of a Game of the Year nomination will restore him in my eyes...

Dear god, this. THIS... THISSSSS. CURSE YOU SPOREEEEE.Wuggy said:
And I'd also like to add, Half Life 2, Episode 2. It was good n'all. But utterly disappointing.
I have been disappointed by so many games before its hard to choose. But I will go ahead and say I was looking forward to 'Dungeons' (whatever its called) to be another Dungeon Keeper! I was way off and wasted $40 on it.
But I am happy to wait for the the amazing mod for DK 3 which is currently in development. Its called War of the Overworld. I am sure they will appreciate me advertise them a little.

I was disappointed by any C&C after Generals (the best being Red Alert 2) I haven't even played 4 because I don't want that filth to reach my eyes.
