Beat Writer Posts: 163 Joined: 12 Oct 2008    | Well for me it was star wars: the force unleashed it was the most disappointed game of all this year for me. Ok at first it was ok but 5 min while playing and the bug land begin. How in hell they couldn't fixed most of the bugs, ow and better that I don't go down the road because of the difficult level let say that for my taste even on the hardest it was like playing super mario. And the whole thing about dmm fuzz it is really bad engine ok in tech demo it was great but in-game is was worth like a pile of sh*t. Ok enough hate for star wars:tfu (for now). |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2220 Joined: 23 Dec 2007  | My disapointment: Argos was selling fable 2 on the 15th as they got the stock early. I waited till the 16th to go get it by then they had stopped after realising their mistake :( |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3668 Joined: 17 Apr 2008 | wow, quite a lot of disappointment at Ninetendo lol, though to be honest, im not really suprised... did they have ANY decent games released this year impart from De Blob, which is only "kinda good" at best? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2797 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 |
Yeah, also confusing. Why would they disband the best and most profitable internal studio they own? |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 448 Joined: 19 Jul 2008     | That Little Big Planet was delayed once again on the eve of launch, and not because the network servers weren't ready, or there was some freaky error somewhere, but because someone thought that a fleeting quotation from the Qu'ran in one of the music tracks might offend every one in a hundred-thousand Muslims. I don't blame the company, but rather society as a whole for being so insanely over-twitchy about "racism", or "pickyness", as I call it. This reminds me of the Resi 5 trailer all over again. Where do these easily-offended people live? They must all hide in a bunker somewhere, constantly scanning the media for things to get annoyed about and delay people's fun for weeks. I was all ready to rent LBP and everything...*fume*. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 713 Joined: 27 Jun 2008    | Too Human being a big bowl of shit. Force Unleashed being so terribly buggy. Nintendo and its laughably bad E3 showcase. KOTOR 3 being an MMO...that one cut deep. Fallout 3 being pushed back until October 28 (Nine more days, woohoo!). The disappointing lack of good games for my Wii (Replaying Twilight Princess for the fifth time right now). The new 360 Fall update. I want my 360s dashboard to look like a 360s dashboard, not a damn Wii that has more clothing options for its Miis! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2550 Joined: 19 May 2008  | E3 was boring as all hell. It seemed that only Microsoft where the only ones trying to put up a decent show. It had nothing interesting and primarily consisted of each company boasting their painfully underwhelming ideas and products. I was watching it during work and i was even MORE bored while watching it than waiting for my boss to lead me to my next job. |
On the Record  Posts: 5542 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | I never expected anything great out of E3, what with all the changes they've been making. But I would say my biggest dissapointment was Spore. I was expecting an expansive game with huge customization, not a gathering of sub-par versions of popular games. |

Yup Spore as well here but I'll go a little further by saying that it IS a bad game. |

BANNED  Posts: 1891 Joined: 26 Mar 2008   | Spore, EA had a chance to put out a good product to please everyone. It was just epic fail on many levels with DRM. Nintendo at E3 was pretty bad also. User was banned for: Poll: Round 4 - North: (1) Turbine vs (2) Valve. (Permanent) |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 95 Joined: 17 Jul 2008    | ..Mercenaries 2. Could have been so much better. AoC was bad too, and the cutbacks on E3 were pretty weak. |

Brawl? But Nintendo have really let me down. Yeah, they're top dog again, but at what cost? User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 430 Joined: 23 Apr 2008   | The delay of LittleBigPlanet. I know it is a very short delay, but the reason for it was completly outrageous. For those who don't know, it was delayed because of some quote from the Quaran in one of the songs. Nobody cared about the quote when that song was written, and I believe that either it or the Artist is a Grammy winner. |
Muckraker  Posts: 270 Joined: 2 Apr 2008  | My 360 bricked today. I've had it for 2 or 3 years and I never had a problem with it; then it chooses to be an asshole and die when I'm on the epilogue missions of Saints 2. As well as a week before Fallout and A DAY before Fable 2. I have both reserved and I am getting them but all I will be able to do for a month is hold them, stare, and cry. |
Paperboy  Posts: 32 Joined: 19 Oct 2008    | To Human is soooooooooooooo bad, they're gonna really have to work hard to make a game worse than this. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 694 Joined: 16 Mar 2008 | I'm gonna go with the flow and say E3. I used to be trying to track down a Wii. And now I'm not trying anymore. |
On the Record  Posts: 6528 Joined: 10 Mar 2008    | E3 basically. Microsoft won announcment-wise (FFXIII, Netflix) That and LBP's delay. Why? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2526 Joined: 16 Aug 2008  | when i found out that Dead Pheonix was canceled. it looked really good |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 716 Joined: 27 Nov 2007   | SPORE This was the game that was supposed to put Maxis back on the map of pinnacle of videogames. Alone in the Dark If you think the Xbox 360 version was bad, try playing it on the PC... Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Another mediocre game that fits well within the console legacy of shallow 8 hour long games with a $60 pricetag on it. |
Paperboy  Posts: 30 Joined: 13 Jul 2008 | Nintendo at E3. also i just looked at the banjo kazooie ad and on the site it said it was going to be an Xbox exclusive?? what the crap guys?! |
Muckraker  Posts: 271 Joined: 31 Aug 2008 | Call me negative, but I'm fairly paranoid about Peter Molyneux being able to deliver Fable 2 in pre-release projected glory. I sort of feel that the game may not live up to the aura. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2797 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 |
What do you mean? Microsoft owns Rare now. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 476 Joined: 8 Apr 2008 |
& see if they've done any real good with the company (I do like how the new Banjo & Kazooie looks, but Where's a true goldeneye remake) I am not a huge fan of the LBP delays |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2797 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 |
Goldeneye doesn't need remaking, it's glory days have come and gone. Let other franchises take up the mantel. And besides, Rare's only made more than one game in the Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie franchises. All of their excellent shooters stand alone. |

please note that this doesn't have to be a game that flopped, it can be some kind of event, (like E3), or anything which was a disappointment so long as its to do with games
my biggest disappointment has to be Spore... it had so much potential and isn't actually a bad game, its just that it was killed by its own hype i think
