WHICH GAME WAS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTEMENT FOR YOU?
Posts
RE5 was a bit disappointing after the awesomeness that was 4, but pretty fun still if you had a friend to play with. 1-player was too annoying.
Not sure between these two which one was the most disappointing.
Lufia: The Legend Returns
Lufia and Lufia II were some of my favorite games on the SNES. When I heard that there was going to be a third game, I was really excited, but then I played it and it had pretty much nothing related to the other two games besides apparently taking place 100 years after the first game.
Suikoden Tierkreis
The game was not too bad by itself, but it was not Suikoden. Suikoden II is one of my favorite games of all time, and I enjoyed playing through the other games in the series (even the less interesting ones) because they were all taking place in the same world. Then Tierkreis came and destroyed all of that.

Well, it had it's moment, but the game didn't quite felt like a Resident Evil game to me. While RE4 & RE5 share pretty much the same gameplay, RE4 was closer to it's roots than the newer ones. Too much action nowadays.
Even re:4 really wasn't a resident evil game in my eyes. 4&5 were good games, I'm not saying they aren't, but when 4 came out, the resident evil franchise was no longer a survival horror; it was action with some jump scares every now and then.
I agree, But, between 4 & 5, I felt that the fourth felt more like a resident evil game if you look at the scenery. I'm sorry, but Africa wasn't very frightening compared to Western Europe. But yeah, the last real Resident Evil game is probably Resident Evil Zero. Great game too.

This is very true, a great game to co-op with a buddy.

4 was a good stand alone if anything, didn't even need to be connected to RE that much. RE5 however was just bad in terms of storyline. :\
Recently the biggest disappointment was Diablo 3, but I dunno I'll probably get into it more in the future when I want to play my moneys worth.
4's plot was somewhat important to 5, since the Plagas sample Ada stole for Wesker was used in a new virus in 5.
I liked RE5. I didn't have any complaints while I was playing, really. I loved that Wesker came back and you had to fight him. Wesker is one of my all-time favorite villains.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron was probably the biggest recent disappointment for me. I had already heard it wasn't really 'great' going in, but I thought it would at least be fun. Instead, I got an interesting premise wrapped in bland, repetitive combat against enemies with way too much health, awkward storytelling, and visuals which are initially impressive, but which quickly wear thin as areas tend to stretch on for way too long.
Chakan on the Genesis is probably my top 'continually disappointing' game though. I always go back to it at least once a year because it has so many neat ideas that I just want it to be good, but the combat and especially the level design are so shoddy that everything falls flat. Oh well, at least the music's still nice.

Hmmm, Star Wars: The Old Republic. I mean kudos for making a decent story in an mmo, but that's kind of like congratulating a baby for putting the blue sphere into the circle slot of the shape box because baby was probably going to get it eventually. Everything else about the game was very wow-esque in nature. I'm not looking for a wow-killer, just something different. SWTOR was not that different.

Oblivion... after playing Skyrim it just seemed rubbish, probably never gonna play...
Wow, that seems like playing Final Fantasy VI as your first FF game and then hitting up the original NES series in your backlog and being disappointed because they're not as shiny.
I too found Oblivion to be a disappointment, primarily because it seemingly tried to combine DOS-era 2D graphics with 3D graphics that came out way too "soft and fluffy" for lack of better words. This was before I played Skyrim and after I played Morrowind, of course, so nothing of that bad sort of bias here.
Biggest disappointment though? Probably Guild Wars 2. I paid freaking $60 USD for this and I get fed with extreme information overload compounded by a lack of explanation on anything? I paid good money, so how about a god damn decent tutorial quest instead of a quest showcasing some half-assed, shitty, shallow backstory for your character that doesn't last 5 minutes and you couldn't care less about?
EDIT: And the flukey controls. My god the controls. (屮゜Д゜)屮
