Your "BETRAAAAAYL" moment

[immortalfrieza]

When they decided NOT to continue the Legacy of Kain series, out of all game series, I would sacrifice all other sequels for a true resolution to that series.

For TV, when they made Dragonball Z Kai, it may not be bad, that would be hard to do, but it's still much worse.

For books, when Bill Amend decided to make Foxtrot Sunday only.

For movies, when they decided to reboot Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm Street (ESPECIALLY NoES), and all of those together doesn't match what they did to Dragonball when they made Dragonball Evolution.

All I can say to this is: BETRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..... ( I suffocate to death and rise from the dead) ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MW2, though it wasn't immediate... it took time till eventually I thought "You know what? What am I playing this piece of shit?" Something along the lines of BETRAAAAAYL comes across my mind whenever someone mentions it now; serious, its amazing how much fun they sucked out of the game to the point I actually lose fun playing it till I can't keep going and need to get up and leave the room... That's perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but I really wasn't happy how that game turned out.

Crackdown 2, when they cut out all gang factions business and made it less Crackdown and more Brutal-Counterinsurgency-and-killing-zombies; I was furious when they kept the same location, but made it crappier.

I had a very similar experience with MW2, sadly.

As for me... it was Hearts of Iron 3. I loved HOI1 and 2, was expecting another golden strategy game to eat my soul, and what I got instead was a difficult to learn mess I still haven't given a proper shake. Eventually... when the sting wears away...

see, i never could take that aspect of brothers of arms quite serious. simply due to the fact that, as dramatic and moving the deaths are portraied, it all goes to hell when 8 dudes slaughter entire batallions worth of german soldiers. somehow the cost of war is somehow mispotraied and all pretentions for realistic display of the horrors of war are involuntarely dropped when a handfull of americans are standing on a hill of smoldering nazi corpses numerous enough to populate several bavarian mountain village. the (very entertaining, nontheles!) band of brothers miniseries was guilty of this as well. i call it the "james ryan syndrome". unfortunately it's unavoidable. the audiences want to see glorious american heroes butchering the german subhumans by the hundreds. if any game or show displayed a serious and realistic ratio of deaths on both sides, most audiences, especially american ones, would be butthurt (butthurt by the truth, heh). and yet, that's exactly what it would take, for me at least, to take a serious message, like the brothers in arms games have, serious. i don't know why this one certain aspect of nonrealism bums me out so much, it just does.

I'm part-english so whenever I see the ""Heroic"" American cliched WW2 games/films my reflex causes me to shout "three years fucking late!" I can't take them seriously either. D-day wasn't an act of heroism, it was one of the most stupid offensive of all time. Plus the British character is always over stereotyped to hell and back.

Anyway, I actually like this new style as it looks like a parody and I loved Borderlands, I'm pre-ordering this.

Metroid: Other M.

The best looking, most magnificent and epic game ever made by Nintendo... and it's still terrible.

Wasn't that developed by Team Ninja?

The second I saw DA2 was going to be a fantasy version of ME instead of a genuine sequel

While I would say that Dragon Age 2 was the biggest betrayal I have felt about a game, they really didnt change that much, if you think about it. I was mainly betrayed because it was only an above-average game, while origins was a masterpiece.

When I was watching footage of Fear 3, just to see what was what with this new installment, and noticed the regenerating health, with a two-weapon limit as the final kick in the balls (or, at least it would have been a kick in the balls if wasn't a girl). Fear is exactly the wrong kind of game to be aping Call of Duty, and it's just as simple as that.

Spoiler: I'd say this image perfectly mirrors my feelings both at the time and now.

Well, "ever made on a Nintendo console for a Nintendo franchise which was okayed by Nintendo," to be more accurate. The development team is one thing, but the fact that they weren't monitored for quality control is another, considering it's one of their big three.

Command and Conquer 4. Maybe not as big as the other betrayals, but if you are going to remake the mechanics completely, you might as well call it something else. Glad I read the review before buying it.
