What's the most you've ever been dissapointed by a game?
- Thread starter retyopy
- Start date
Unreal Tournament 3. It was hoped that it would save the dying competitive community and rejuvenate it with an influx of new players. It turned out that when it was released it was a buggy piece of crap. The main menu settings were composed of sliders instead of numbers (so for example, your sensitivity had to be chosed by a slider instead of a value like 1.39 or 1.20) and the lack of advanced graphical settings made it hard to get more that 40/50 FPS at the very lowest of settings. The server browser was one of the worst things I have ever seen, lacking the things that UT2003/2004 and even UT99 had. It was also very unstable.
It was unbelievable. The movement wasn't at all bad, but the weapons seemed completely nerfed when I first played it.
It needed 2 patches just to make it playable. Which is why I have no faith in Epic games any more.
Thank you Epic, for Unfinished Tournament 3. Long live UT2004!

I have a MASSIVE list but I won't get too deep into it.
I'll just leave by saying Bethesda are just a massive disappointment to me... Though after playing Skyrim their streak might end, as long as post-demo experiences aren't as terrible as expected.
I would say No More heroes; the controls just really didn't do it for me. I mean I tried being fancy with the sword swinging, until I found out that I got the same effect by flailing around. It just didn't feel very immersive.
But I have to say Bleach: Shattered Blade.
So it's a wii game based on a manga I like and allows me to play as my favorite characters in a tournament fighter featuring sword swinging, motion controls.
Then I find that i had the same issue that I had with No More Heroes, coupled with monotonous gameplay.
Probably the worst for me was the super moves (or Bankai) which is where the characters go super saiyan for a couple of seconds before returning to normal. I know it's supposed to balance gameplay, since not all characters can go super, but come on! Give me a few seconds to learn the new moves before taking them away!

Either Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 or Halo 3.
C&C: My friend declared it the best game of all time, so I bought it on his recommendation. It had some good features, but not enough to justify the hype he gave it.
Halo: The single player followed on from H2 which I've never played. The game put me off Halo until ODST came along and gave me faith enough to risk buying Reach. Both were really good games which I go back and play with my Halo fanboy friend.

I never actually bought it but playing it with friends I don't even get why they made SSB except to add another layer to the money pile. The additions made it a weaker game than SSM.
Dragon Age: Origins, the combat was THE most frustrating thing i have ever seen, then again i'm not exactly a fan of party combat games, so thats probably why :S
Spore.
I was following that game since 2005...
...why Maxis? Why?
At least I can thank Spore for teaching me to never get so hyped up about a game ever again (before then I had never really been disappointed by a game).

Final Fantasy XIII.
Do I really need to explain? Really?
Okay, fine.
Vanille, the fact that all the more interesting parts of the story are buried in the Datalog, Vanille, the fact that the ending doesn't make any kind of sense unless you read the Datalog, Vanille, the way you don't have the full battle system open to you until your 2/3 of the way through the game, Vanille...
I could go on, but I believe I've made my point.
Vanille...(*seething*)
