Three posts in and Mass Effect 3 was someone's top disappointment. Here I thought we'd all moved on with our lives.
Biggest disappointment... That's a tough one. Dragon Age 2 (he spits as the hypocrisy gushes from his mouth) was fun, but kind of a holding pattern. Not really sure why there had to be three games in the series. Could have just gone from Origins to Inquisition. Mass Effect 2 is the same way, save for Arrival, which could have just been ME1 DLC. But those were both fun, if pointless adventures, so they don't count.
Oh. Got it. Battlefield 3. That's it. Is BF3 bad? Yes. And not for the bugs and glitches and Battlelog (may there be a hell just so the idiots who came up with Battlelog may burn there). Battlefield 3 had to do one thing to make it better than Bad Company 2, it needed to add a prone function. New/more/cool guns and vehicles, all that is just gravy. But, instead we got Call of Duty: Micro-destruction Edition. Sure, the maps were big. Sure, the graphics looked good. But the same can be said of Bad Company 2, especially after DICE released Heavy Metal (the map, not the music). But in BC2, everything flew apart with satisfying clouds of dust and particles when something powerful hit it. BF3... I can think of one map with any note-worthy destructible terrain or scenery (the Canals map, don't remember the name, I think it was set in Paris). Even then, you could bomb the hell out of the buildings and only the facades would break away. The buildings were still structurally sound, despite having hundreds of kilos of ordinance fired at them. I'm reasonably certain that a couple hand grenades would level my apartment, so a tank shell and a few dozen mortar rounds should level most of a city block.
