WHICH GAME WAS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTEMENT FOR YOU?

CloseI've been a fan the Might and Magic series since the original game came out who-knows-when, but the ninth numbered entry in the series was pretty bad. Not only did the magic system not make any sense to me at the time (Every spell I saw that I could buy in-game required two skills at "Expert" rating or better.), the people who were able to train your skills to a higher rating wandered the various towns (complicating the above problem even more), the class system was kinda weird (Think Secret of Mana 3 on stupid.), and a peculiar tendency for the enemies that I met be no more than two feet high ("I'm being attacked? Where? Below me!?").
This is the three way tie for me:
Suikoden DS
Mother 3
Final Fantasy XIV
Suikoden DS - How can you go from getting one of the coolest series ever back on track with Suikoden 5, to this piece of watered down awful shit? The only thing "Suikoden" about it was a few of the music tracks. The rest of it breathed through its nose in a port-o-potty on purpose.
Mother 3 - Earthbound was one of the most fun, quirky, enjoyable games to play on the SNES. This was replaced by a depressing, oddly paced, and flat out trying way too hard to be in your face weird game with chapters that you couldn't revisit later. Give me back my ATM machines, my hotels, and my pizza delivery in a SOMEWHAT normal world with some quirks, rather than a WTFtopia.
Final Fantasy XIV - let's beat that dead horse.

author=MarrendHOMM3 was the best in my opinion, it balanced everything.

Certainly, HoMM3 was good in it's own way. However, give me HoMM2 any day of the week. With a bit of finagling, I can prove that Black Dragons are total chumps, and that Ghosts are the most borken unit in existence. Though now that you mention it, HoMM4 was kind of disappointing for me. The background to the game was certainly a "Really, guys? Really?" for me, and only being able to purchase one hero a week per town was kinda iffy. I guess I liked the music, though. Which is more than I could say of MM9. I can't even remember the tunes of that game.

Metal Gear Solid 4. What a letdown. "Hello, I hypnotized myself to believe I'm the villain." "Hi, I suddenly have cancer." Then the nanomachines. The goddamn nanomachines. Fuck that game.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 for many "missing" characters and on-disc DLC not to mention the broken gameplay mechanics (x-factor). Oh well.

Dragon Age: Origins really disappointed me. I find it to be a really average RPG. People are defending it's 20 to 30 hours of gameplay when I've been spending that and more only on the first CD of FFVII as a reference. Twenty to thirty hours is absolutely nothing in the RPG world, but because game development company have been releasing games of around 5 hours of gameplay, twenty hours seems a lot to the younger and less hardcore audience. Also it's replayability was pretty null. A distinct introduction for each race or so. Then the rest of the game it's the same story with only slight changes. Very disappointing. The graphics were ok I guess, I'm not a graphic bitch. Music was actually good and I found the story quite linear and boring.
I spent approximately 84 hours playing Dragon Age: Origins proper, and another 22 or playing Awakening, and another 10 or so playing the other campaign DLC. If you think the game has 20 hours of gameplay you're probably skipping all of the dialogue, avoiding the majority of the quests, and in general not really trying. Probably because it didn't click with you for whatever reason, but man the length is definitely there.

Fable 3.
I completed it in one day, and all my people died because I thought I really did have all that time to prepare and slowly buy all the real estate... BUT LO...
So everyone died. Not a huge deal because they all respawn eventually anyway, but I found post-game content very boring regardless.

Every Sonic game since Adventure 2 for DC just leave it at that...
I was also disappointed in Super Street fighter 4 as many characters that should have mad e a return didn't, I.E. Sean, Alex, Twelve, instead of stupid characters like Adon or effing rufus? And don't get me started with the effing Arcade edition. and above all else WHAT THE *U*K?
The white knight chronicles was was a crock of pure excrement. Here you have Level 5 a developer who emerged as a great game developer in the 6th Generation of gaming, then to turn around and release this crap. C'mon man
Kingdom Hearts 2 was a major disappointment for me also, as the the game was so short, and the only mentionable sidequests was the battle with Sephiroth, and maybe the underworld coliseum. Really pissed that it wasn't longer

Battle Network 5: Double Strike or whatever the DS version was called was my fastest returned game to date. What were they trying to do to the Battle Network series?
Another one was Second Sight. It was cool to play... until I couldn't figure out how to get out of the asylum the FIRST time...
Mega Man X6 is another one. I had wanted to play that game ever since my friend got it for his birthday for the PlayStation... but now I just want to break the game hard. Can't beat this, can't beat that... finally beat this... get thrashed worse by that... ARGH!!! Most broken game EVER!
Final Fantasy 6 was the bane of my childhood on the SNES... then I figured out Blitz and everything was cool on the GBA... then I lent it to a friend and he lost it... and I haven't been able to play it since. RAWR... D:<... Though, for what I did play, it was good!

Super Mario 64
Sorry guys, I know a lot of you beg to differ. But this is when I got to see my favorite game franchise become something very different and alien. The game kept the Mario name and some iconic enemies, but failed to be a spiritual successor to classic games past. I even felt more of a connection to Super Mario 2. Mario started to talk with an annoying voice and stupid sayings, which for me helped ruin his image. I could not help but feel all the hype was about going 3D. I couldn't have cared less and it did not seem to do the game any favors, nor was it particularly attractive to look at. I absolutely did not like how it played. The general experience of disappointments I cannot put into words. I just had one huge impression of how much I did not like it.

author=MarrendYeah I never liked anything after HOMM3, I have played HOMM2 and HOMM1 but still preferred HOMM3! It was the first I ever played after all.author=supremewarriorCertainly, HoMM3 was good in it's own way. However, give me HoMM2 any day of the week.

Final Fantasy XIII, I mean I wasn't expecting much but still, bought that game day one and still can't play more then a few hours in before I get sick of it. Also the fifth season of How I Met Your Mother, I know that's not a game just throwing that out their.

NewBlack is the only person in the world that really enjoyed it.
There is a rumor floating around the web that there actually was a person who enjoyed FF 13. The search is still on, though many believe he's nothing more than this decade's Bigfoot.
Really, FFXIII was the only game in EXISTANCE that I actually picked up a save (around 3 hours into the game, a friends save) entered battle and WTF.
NOTHING MADE SENSE, everything seemed pointless and... Ugh D:

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Why would you expect battles to make sense if you haven't been playing from the beginning and played through the tutorials
If they do, it's a bad and unoriginal game
