Too Human was pretty great compared to what others think. The only disappointments I can think of is ES disbanding. That sucks.

BIA: Hells Highway, it's actually a worse game than its predecessor. Only the graphics have improved, all the gameplay elements are unchanged or not as well done (except for MG teams). For a game I was waiting a long time for, gutted.

Brawl?

But Nintendo have really let me down. Yeah, they're top dog again, but at what cost?

Brawl was a bit of a disappointment, on two halves: one was the player's hightened expectations for the game. To me (and maybe it is just to me, I don't honestly know), it just felt like Melee re-vamped. The second was Nintendo's lack of foreplanning to counter these expectations.

Hey, at least Madworld looks interesting, hm? A playable Sin City, how bad can that be?

Haze. I was so happy for another awesome FPS on the PS3.

But it sucked.

now that you mention it i do recall that whole transaction. i suppose i did blank out of the whole video game scene for a while though. im still somewhat upset. just because i want to be.and if they made a new goldeneye i would straight away throw myself off a bridge, and if they were going to do anything with it it should be porting it to a newer system.

1.Castle Crashers glitches/bugs deleting my save files and freezing my 360
2.Silent Hill: Homecomings over-all quality

My biggest dissapointment was Fable 2 not sucking.

I was hoping to drink the sweet tears of despair and sorrow from the eyes of the involved and the fans.

E3 basically.

Microsoft won announcment-wise (FFXIII, Netflix)
Sony won game-wise (God of War III, LittleBigPlanet, real EXCLUSIVE titles)
Nintendo won suckage-wise (Nothing...)

That and LBP's delay.

Why?

So basically Sony won announcement-wise too?

But yeah, E3 in general, and Nintendo's conference was a disaster.

No, they won game-wise.

Microsoft announced them "stealing" FFXIII, Netflix, some south park game, and Portal" Still alive. One which is multiplatform, one which was beaten by Sony who put up the same service the night of their conference, and one that was already on PC. they showed a level in Gears of War 2, a few seconds of Fable II and everything else they boasted about were Multiplatform titles.

Sony won game-wise, showing gameplay footages of LBP, Resistance 2, Infamous, that collage of their exclusive games, and announcing God of War III which we all knew was coming anyway and MAG.

Nintendo just....sucked....I was hoping for a Kid Icarus more or less for my friend but....nothing.

Starcraft 2 isn't out yet. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't announce the damn thing so freaking early for no reason, but they did.

Let's See:
E3 was atrocious
Currently, there is no release date for Final Fantasy Versus 13. I will cry if it gets canceled. It looks so much more awesome the FF13.

The driving in GTA4 is less forgiving than the driving in Forza, which made the game a lot less fun for me. Luckily. there's going to be a PC release. So, I'll eventually be able to mod it.

Diablo 3 was announced but we probably won't see it for two more years.

Finding out that the previews found at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 were for a PSP game, and not Kingdom Hearts 3.

My biggest dissapointment this year was my Wii breaking and the fact that I still can't afford a 360 at the moment XD I haven't tried any of the over-hyped games enough to judge (except for Brawl, but I actually really enjoyed it). But also,

What? That's news to me. I don't really keep track but can you give me a couple details? I know my friend would be curious about that.

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?!

What do you mean? Microsoft owns Rare now.

& 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
and Too Human wasn't terrible, but was Way-overhyped, Haze almost was king of that category, 'Till it got edged out

Dude goldeneye was good for it's time but it is crap by today's standards, I'm sure that if they remade it, you people would hate it and whine like bitches, just like everyone seems to do for everything these days... I mean have you people gotten so picky and so critical that you can't enjoy anything new? I'm sure that the next wave of new games will come out and most of you will whine and bitch that fallout 3 is too (insert negative adjective here) and fable 2 is (insert whiny gripe about nothing here). I mean Jesus tapdancing Christ will you people just lower your standards a little bit so you can enjoy games again.

So sorry. I meant PSP game.
It's called Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and It takes place like 10 years before the first game.

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.

By "Grammy winner", I think you mean "Muslim". The LBP situation is just ridiculous. I found it very amusing when Muslim pressure groups started criticising Sony for being so over-sensitive.

It's been a pretty awesome year in games for me so far, and to be honest I can't think of any huge disappointments. Spore was a real shame - it held so much promise during its development, and I don't think anyone could have predicted the sheer level of fail that it eventually turned into.

I think I'm going to have to agree with you on Spore. I really loved it the first few days but it got boring way too soon. You can be creative and all that, but it doesn't matter how your creature looks at all. It's all about the stats he has anyway and wether his attacking thing is on his eye or ass, it's purely aesthetic.

Anyway, I could have seen it coming though. The Sims bored me too so it was kind of silly of me to think that Spore would be that much different.

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!

I agree. KOTOR 3 as an MMO makes me sad. I loved KOTOR 2, and can't get my hands on the original, but WHY? There's enough MMOS out there and half the mechanics will be stripped down and the gameplay dumbed down to the point of retardation, to make it most mainstream.

My biggest disapointment was when i finnished the Deadric shrine Clavicus Vile in Oblivion and the game crashed and kept crashing, even on separate files. So i bought a brand new copy of Oblivion for £20, and it fucking crashed again.

So i started a new file and i finnished the shrine and it crashed, so i am pissed off and stumped.
Whats even more annoying that it keeps crashing at the exact same moment after i complete the quest every time, even my brother said it did it to him on his Xbox.
Fuck it, i'll just get the PS3 version.

No, I am pretty sure that the guy is from Mali. Don't know if that makes him Muslim or not...

Considering it was a gaming expo, and they were the only one who had fans walking away actually looking foward to a few things the others weren't, they won the expo.

Has anybody but me realised that there haven't been any good South Park games since the FPS one on the N64 (and the Playstation and PC or so I heard), and even that was only good because of how incredibly juvenile I was at the time and cause it tapped into my love of crazy-ass guns and cheat codes, and that maybe this one won't be the be all and end all best gamer evarrrrrr just because its new?

Where to begin...

E3 and Nintendo, "Hey here is stuff you could already to with your Wii, but we are going to continue to shove it down your throat, oh and fu** you loyal Nintento fans."

Spore - Hype, Hype, Hype, Hype, Hype... ass full of pipe wrench, crapy game that you don't truly own.

Too Human - so much potential, I mean, how can you make a game with cybernetics and Thor bad. That takes skill.

Little Big Plant Delayed, over nothing. The Muslim comunity was not offended. I do blame the creators for not knowing what was in there game. If they did they could have corrected it earlier an not been delayed. (and I don't even own a PS3).

Force Unleashed - I bought it so I felt complelled to play through it. Some of the force powers were cool, but very broken game.

PSN - EULA, fu** you Sony, I'm happy with my 360 and you have now convinced me to never buy a PS3.

Starcraft 2 - in three parts (is that correct?). As if Blizzard doesn't have enough money already. Have we all learned the lesson from Half Life episodic games...

Which brings me to HL2 Episode Whatever - not coming out until Jesus will hand deliver it.

And lastly (hides behind cover) Fable 2, don't get me wrong, I love the game. The gameplay is awesome, it is Fable upgraded. But this game has more bugs than Cortney Loves meat curtans. I have only played for about 5 hours (I'm still in Bowerstone, I'm just assassinating people and buying up the slums, I want to be a slum lord) and I have had over a dozen graphical glitches (bettles materializing in the cieling), horrible bump maping, my dog floating in mid air, the "A" to interact with things will pop up when you can't really do anything or you need to be holding you toung the right way to get it to recognize that you tapped A. But these are all graphical and some minor interface issues, the gameplay is solid and fun, so don't hurl bricks.

Because of all of these disapointments, I am very leary of Fallout 3. I will be buying Gears 2 for sure, but I will probably wait until Fallout 3 becomes a Platnum hit.

They only game so far this year (IMHO) that has lived up to all of my expectations was Dead Space. Every aspect of the game was designed to creep you out and emerse you in the game... so far, for me, Game of the Year.

Too Human. I was very excited for it, and it let me down. Also, how the ps3 is only coming out with 1 decent game per quarter it seems. Just let the behemoth die.

My personal biggest disappointment of the year has to be the scan line issues with the new PSP3000. I was going to buy one as my first PSP and get Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, but not anymore. It looks horrible.

Actually, I count 7 good exclusive games this quarter , 10 if you count Downloadable games.
What on earth were you counting?

I'm curious, what's so bad in the PSN (assuming that's the Playstation networking bit) EULA? Don't have a PS3 and I'd just like to know what's been put in beyond every other one that has people peeved.

Something about how star wars is also a gaming franchise.

Did you read through every post and decide to pick out my post for the simple reason that one of three examples i gave was non-applicable?

If this is so then I beg of you: step off, already!
