Never mind the fact that Duke Nukem didn't make the list, there are still tons of games that were sold to be something, but delivered nothing.
Is it okay to assume that he is a FPS fanboy??
And more importantly it's my favorite game of the year so far. It's really amazing. Most of the negative reviews I've read all seem to not understand how to play.
EX: "The pawns talk way too much!" That's funny because if you sit down at an INN with a pawn you can tell him to talk less.
"The pawns are always running far ahead even when I tell them to come close" Well that's because you set them up that way and that can be changed as well.
The list goes on but you get the idea
It's seriously so great.
in fact, a lot of this list is just lame.
in order for something to be disappointing, there has to be some hype/buzz about it in the first place.
how about La Noire? how about Lair? Too Human? Brink? FF13? FF14? Force Unleashed?
i have a question. why do idiot "articles" like this even make it to the front page? any moron with a blog can churn out junk like this on a daily basis.
Also some of the Gamen's listed below I.e crackdown I can't believe people actually had expectations for. Crackdown 2 looked scrap from the day it was announced.
I'm hooked on DDogma, it's a damn solid game, I had anti-Capcom fanboys heckle at me enough for not bashing the game simply because Capcom made it, let alone I have over 40 hours put into it and it's like SoTC + freaking Dark Souls + Monster Hunter, how can anyone say No?!
Any article with "Disappointing" in the title sucks.
The pixel has spoken.
Final Fantasy 13
there are were alot more dissapointing games this gen. Some of those games are terrible i wudnt even say they dissapointed gamers.
terribles games are terrible but those games that dissapoint when expectations and hype are so high and the game seems really good turns out to be average dissapointing game.
Its only the best car simulation game ever made ... yeah hyped ... *cough*
Agree those are crap games.
Terrible is like Ninja Gaiden 3! Went from highly anticipated to not worth buying in the bargain bin.
don't worry, gt5 was only disapointing for people who can't play it (like the 2 xfanboyz here).
GT5, REALLY??? i mean REALLY!!!!! CRAPPY game REALLY??? compare to forza,Need for Speed "The RUN", NFS Shift 1,2,NFS PROSTREETS,NFS UNDERCOVER GT5 crappy? REALLY!!!
Liked this website: No
Now, I would love to see DD, KoA (which won't happen and I am sad) and DA look at some other games and try to make some improvements but not at the expense of all the wonderful things they did do. I love DD.
That CANDY ASS is probably 13...
:)
This list needs:
Perfect Dark: zero
Golden axe: beast rider
Innovative RPG's and quirky action games like Shadows of the Damned are a niche market, it's like comparing fans of Black Metal to fans of R'nB, some people are willing to expand their minds and be challenged, others aren't.
It def. was in no way a disappointment.
The almost the entire list is stupid as hell cursed crusade, even a blind man could that was a budget title, alice was good and lengthy for action/platformer. War in the north was still a decent game not a champions of norrath, but still good. DD haven't played except the demo.
Da2 only played the demo was so so, shadows wasn't bad but all the innuendos put me off it, kingdoms was a shocker for how fun it actually was. I was expecting another casual heavy fable type game, it was actually real good. Amy never played it
The force unleashed wasn't not that bad, probably not as good as jk 3, but still an enjoyable game.
Another guy listed golden axe and i agree that was really bad. I don't care if it was hyped or not, and rogue warrior and legendary deserve to be on the list, just bad games.
I still laugh about brink, if it had released for $29 like it should of been instead $59 it wouldn't have been torn apart so badly.
Dead island i can't see the appeal, everything is subpar and poorly implemented, only the driving was done decently. I still think people who compare it to fallout 3 or borderlands are idiots.
DDogma is one amazing piece of work
I still kinda liked the game, but it just wasn't anywhere near what was portrayed in the previews/trailers.
It's not the greatest game of all time, but it's still worth it. A really good experience and nothing like a disappointment for me.
Conviction was pretty good and so was Battlefield 3 and BS2.
I thought Bioshock 2 was well better than the first one, and I played the first one first too. But fair enough. Iv never had that many problems with Battlefield 3 but i`ll be the first to admit its not a 100% stable game, and trying to squad up is a pain in the ass. Also, whats with these bullshit "unlock all unlockables for vehicles and weapons" things you can buy online? so lame.
2.CHAOS THEORY
That's one of the best stealth games of all time!
What a stupid article
Grow up.
Must be the Hemorrhoids acting up!
Anyways i highly agree with you alessandro10!
Though one thing to note: for the love of god, do not get the inn keeper to fall in love with you...
are you mad?
There are many many games that couldve been there. This gen has had many stinkers. Hell, I'd throw a few sequels in there, cuz after this gen I want some new damn I.P's !!
Although a few of those games on the list genuinely did not live up to expectations & exercise its potential, I think @ least 8 of those games were fairly decent, no less than good.
But definitely not the MOST disappointing. & definitely not the most disappointing of this gen.
The only game I can agree with, mostly, is Dragon Age 2.
THAT, was disappointing!
Where is Diablo III?
'Dragos Age: Origins'? never heard of it.
Guy's probs never played any infinity engine game.
1. HAZE
2. Lair
3. GTA4 (sorry guys it was a real letdown)
4. Twisted Metal
5. Warhawk
That was easily the most fun I've had in multiplayer on the PS3, complete with dedicated servers. An overall masterpiece of online fun, chaos, and teamwork.
CoD2k8-2k12
Medal of Honor- was once a unique franchise. Now, it's a big old shit sandwich and basically another excuse to pump out Battlefield Lite.
Fable 2 and 3- both terrible, although 3 was expected to be terrible.
Crackdown 2- Man, are you kidding me?
Sorcery- For a game that disappeared for 2 years...they sure as hell cut every possible corner to get this garbage out. This game should have been Epic...but I'd settle for good.
Author's list is pretty bad. Shadows was a solid game and Amalur kicked ass for 35 levels...
Sure you did...
Some people got way too excited and then had unreasonable expectations.
As for the game itself, I've been playing it today for the first time and it's better than I thought it would be. Enjoying it. Could definitely have done with a bit more polish though.
