Madden and NBA Jam 2K9

Halo 3

Halo's campaign was good with 4 people but it was incredibly short, I think it's hard to argue with that. A lot of people took that thing down the night of.

im surprised at how many are saying COD WAW. Its the same game as COD4 with a WW2 setting and guns. It plays the exactly like cod4....oh well, to each their own.

True, but Waw still sucks, I think its because the online maps are designed retarded but thats the only real diffrence for me. The worst game had to be farcry 2, Need for Speed:Undercover, Gta4 and no Gran turismo 5

what game(s) that you were really excited about and couldnt wait to get your hands left you coming away disappointed?

my clear #1 ...

after the awesomeness of San Andreas i expected nothing less than perfection from this game. Did it still have the same mindless open world just do random cool shit in it? it sure did, but other than that it was lacking. The graphics were top notch and the story was fine but there was little to no innovation involved in the actual gameplay whatsoever. Yes, online was something new but just couldn't hold my interest for long. They took out the building up your character aspect which i enjoyed in SA seemingly just to dumb it down for casual gamers. The missions were in same exact mold of every GTA game and just got so repetitive and boring except for a few scattered missions here and there. The same crappy car control was left in the game, and their idea of cool side stuff was playing pool and darts? no thanks. Was it a horrible game? Not at all but i expected so much more.

Like you, I have similar mixed feelings about GTA IV. A notch below SA, could have been better. But you'd be surprised how many GTA fans think the opposite. I go to several GTA sites, and the hate for SA is ridiculous.

Tie between GTAIV and Halo 3. While I did atleast complete Halo, wasn't impressed at all. GTA got boring pretty fast and wasn't as fun as the Ps2 games.

Gears of War 2 hands down. Worst sequel ever. Multiplayer was altered for the mainstream/casual shooter player. Terrible that the game needed patch, after patch and never was quite fixed. Only good thing I saw out of Gears 2 was horde.

Games that build up a lot of hype such as Madden and COD and Halo tend to dissapoint a lot of people when they buy it and it isn't what they expect. That's why everyone is naming major titles, not the ones we KNEW was gonna be a rental.

Anyway my dissapointments.

#1 Halo 3.

I had so much fun playing Halo 2. I loved playing Team Snipes, Shotguns and Swords, MLG BR matches. I just loved Halo 2. The worst map in Halo 2 beats the best map in Halo 3. When Halo 3 was released at midnight I was there. I played the game for about a month and couldn't play it much longer after that. Just a flat out dissapointment.

#2 MLB2k9

This was the year I was finally gonna be able to play with my Rays and they were gonna be competitive in the game. I rented the game, played it 3 times and turned it in. Everything was just so god damn awful about the game. I had some faith in them after putting out a shitty 2k8 there was no way they could put out a shitt 2k9 for 2 years in a row could they? Yes they can.

Ties for third: Madden 2008, Assasins Creed, and COD WaW.

I think the only reason I didn't like WaW was because MW was soooooooooo great that no matter what they put out I wasn't gonna be happy.

To each his own. I had a blast with FC2.

-Assasins Creed

- MLB 2k Series.

forgot about the 2k series.....i liked 2k7....2k8 was the huge letdown for me. Huge step back

GTAIV was no disappointment, prob was more fun for me since i actually lived in NY and it was so spot on with the city, i could actually drive around my own neighborhood;

Plus the DLC was potentially better than the Niko story, game isnt even dead yet, i'll prob end up playing all of those all the way through.

agree.......
i dont get the GTA hating......i dont think it lived up to the hype but it was still a great game. The SP mode had flaws and the missions were a bit easy, but still a long and enjoyable SP mode. Plus it gave us what we long been asking for.....online modes

Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance,

 

[1ke]

Yup...Madden 06 for me was the worst game I have ever played. EVER!

To each his own. I had a blast with FC2.

As did I.

I'm thinking about reinstalling and playing it over again because there was a lot of stuff I simply didn't do because I only played one way.

If any FC2 was underrated. Its not a "great" game but its pretty good.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007

I bought the game as my first 360 ame ever and man I dont think i finished a game.

To this day I still play Tiger Woods 2003 on ps2. By far the best golf game and probaly played that game longer then any in my collection.

Far Cry 2 had a lot of potential and some great ideas, and then was executed badly. I wouldn't be afraid of FC3 though, could be a great game if they just fix it up a little.

Yeah, it wasn't great but it was definitely good and it was a lot of fun, in my opinion. All the driving around was a a pain in the ass. The weapons breaking down was a nice touch but got to be a pain after a while. But overall it was a lot of fun nad kept me hooked until I finished it, over thirty hours later.

I enjoyed Civilization on PS3. Maybe it was because I never played the PC version, but the game was very addicting.

CoD: W@W sucked. You can say it's a re-hashed version of CoD4, but it's not. The maps flat out suck, can't even think of a semi-decent one, the weapons blew (not just cause they were WW2 weapons, because they were so unbalanced that everyone ran around with the same gun), artillery strikes blew ass, and the graphics looked like CoD4 watered down.

Oh, and I actually liked GTA. It was missing a lot of stuff that made SA great, but IMO it has been by far the most complete free-roaming game I have owned for the PS3 thus far.

I understand Rockstar wanting to take the franchise in a new direction, but they could have given us a few options from SA(modding cars, for example). IMO, they concentrated too much on multi-player.
