Nerds on the Rocks: Top 3 Disappointments of 2010

Being a disappointment is a very subjective field, it doesn't necessarily mean a game is bad but that the expectations/hype far surpassed the final game. Nerds on the Rocks picks its top 3

Red Dead Redemption? LOL

Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games of 2010.

longcat4869d ago (Edited 4869d ago )

To be honest, after playing a lot of western games, i'm kinda disappointed as well.

I just never connected with John Marston like i did with Niko Bellic in GTA4.

The world is gorgeous but the story doesn't interest me.
But it still will never make my top 3 - someone is trolling for hits - another day on the internets i guess

Kran4869d ago

But but but. How can you hate RDR?

Thats what some people do. They compare it to other games made by the same company. That just makes your result inconclusive :/

Craptain_Steel4868d ago

I don't hate it, but they could've added more missions instead of seeing how many cactuses they could put in.

DasTier4868d ago

lol ironic, niko belic was a cunt

showtimefolks4868d ago

RDR is what GTA4 should have been FUN.

GTA4 went all serious on us while taking all the fun elemets out of the game and some dlc's later improved but not to a point of last gen's GTA

i really really hope RS make hd remakes for gta3,vc and SA

even at 60 i will but it come on RS make it happen

Deleting4868d ago

Niko Bellic had no character and not someone you could begin to like...

If you said you liked Tommy vercetti or Carl Johnson then fair enough good argument but Niko Bellic was weak compared to John Marston

AnonUser55554868d ago

"I just never connected with John Marston like i did with Niko Bellic in GTA4."

Did we play different games? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. And this article is absurd. RDR was an excellent game. Period.

And 007: Bloodstone? Doesn't a game need to have EXPECTATIONS before it can be a DISAPPOINTMENT? Who in their right minds was excited about this game?

I'm sorry I even clicked the link and gave these idiots another site hit.

Red Dead was great the only thing I didn't like as breaking horses and herding cattle...flat out long, boring and annoying.

saladthieves4868d ago (Edited 4868d ago )

@alojuanjo

I know it must be shocking to some people to see Red Dead Redemption appear on ANY "disappointment" list. Personally I love the game to death...it is my favorite game of 2010 but you have to understand that people have different opinions and tastes. Some just hate the overall western theme that the game incorporates...If they don't like the game, fine then; their wishes, we just have to respect that.

fossilfern4868d ago

I have to agree with this list. I was very disappointed in red dead and I didnt get caught in the hype either so this list is right IMO

jamboza4868d ago

so are u saying u did not buy red dead since u say u "did not get caught" in the so called hype, cuz to me it sounds like u did

fossilfern4868d ago

no I bought the game because I got it recommended to me and I didnt think it was GOTY IMO

SephireX4868d ago

I love both GTA IV and RDR and I think RDR deserves GOTY and instead of being a disappointment, it exceeded expectations by miles. Thus, I disagree with this article.

saladthieves4868d ago

Actually RDR already has 2 GOTYs from Gamespot, one from the Xbox 360 side and the other from the PS3 side.

EVILDEAD3604868d ago

Silly list..

James Bond is number one? Who ACTUALLY is going to pretend that they had such high hopes for that game that it became a disappointment when they bought it?

LOL @ Red Dead Redemption..

Evil

Blaze9294868d ago

Red Dead Redepmption got old and repetitive kind of fast. Only real thing that stuck to me throughout the entire game honestly was only the ending. Everything else was meh and the multiplayer sucked ass.

yog-sothot4868d ago

RdR is probably the game that will gather the most "GOTY awards" in 2010 (even more so than other great games such as Mass effect 2 or SMG2)... I guess some unknown website desperately needed a few hits

swat4868d ago

how the hell RDR is Disappointments, oh god these site must ban in N4G

Lirky4868d ago

im in rdr right now its amazing, especially the music inthe background while your riding your horsey.

Lirky4868d ago

plus the relaxing open-ended sandbox feel roaming around setting campfires while your afk doing other things with ennio morricone music blasting in the background (since single-player supports custom tracks).

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming12d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long12d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming12d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10112d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor12d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6912d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming12d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno12d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming12d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast26d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg26d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai42d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos42d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8942d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg26d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
