Top 10 Games That Deceived Us

CCC Says: "You know when you go to the store and look through the rows of games out there, not really in the mood for anything? Most of us in that situation tend to rely on box art to guide our initial assessment of a game’s playability. At least, the box art is what separates a game from all the rest on a shelf. So when that box art is misleading, it’s usually a pretty big disappointment. Not always, but sometimes. Other times it’s the trailers we see on TV or playing on the CCTV screens at our favorite retailers that guide us to titles. Again, when the game turns out to be nothing like the trailer, it gets a little frustrating. And still other times there are just big twists within the game itself that lead us down a completely different path than we thought we were going in. So these are our top ten misleading games."

Final Fantasy deceiving gamers in 1987, then again in 2009.

Catherine's box art was spot on. Yeah it was deceiving, but that's the whole point of the game, story-wise. (Catherine being what she is and all, won't spoil it).

Also, all the marketing surrounding that game was about deception and teasing, like the hot pink email Atlus sent to the Atlus faithful mailing list, asking if we still loved them right after they said it was a "japan exclusive".

I remember that! The day it was announced for NA I preordered it. One of my top 5 favorite games of all-time.

I was really, really disappointed after playing Catherine demo. Previews talked about adult storytelling, character charisma... And in the end it was a game with puzzles about pushing and climbing boxes...

rextraordinaire4067d ago

It's half and half, really. Daytime in Catherine is extensive character development and exposition, advancing the plot, while night time is where the puzzles are at.

The game lasts around 15 hours, and a good 5-6 hours of that time is about the story.

If you ask a gamer what "The Orange Box" is, he or she will tell you every game that came in it.

I don't find Catherine misleading, either.
