Most Disappointing Game This Gen?

[brees fan]

Don't think I've seen it mentioned yet, but Fallout 3 bored the pants off of me. Grey, grey, grey, grey and more grey. I couldn't even finish the first mission to the radio station, there was no interest in it for me at all. A massive letdown after reading all the reviews,

If you never made it very far into the game then you missed a whole lot and its your fault not fallouts... It was lacking a little bit from previous installments that I anticipated would be in Fallout 3 but I thought most the reviews were spot on....

It's the type of game you have to commit to play a lot. No, not every mission was amazing or balls to the wall but the story, the exploration, even the intentional dullness were all great aspects of the game.

And the little pop culture references and easter eggs scattered throughout the game... Wasn't nearly enough of it IMO but it was def the little things that make that game so great...

Absolutely. I liken it a lot to Shadow of the Colossus. Not sure how many guys here played it, but that was an AMAZING game.

There were no enemies really, just bosses (Colossi) and only like 11-12 of them. So you basically spent half of the game going through his vast land looking for these things.

It may sound boring, but not every game should be balls to the wall, explosions here, zombies attacking, blah blah. The calmness of SOC actually really had you thinking, and because there weren't any details given you were almost completely on your own to wonder what these Colossi were, why I'm the only one here, why I have to kill them, what happens if I kill them, etc.

Fallout 3 is amazing because it's the ultra non-linear game... you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you please. You could waste 70 hours and never complete one mission if you don't want to. I'm sorry if you found it dull, but if you only play it for 15 minutes and don't realize the story or the concept of the game... then that's your own fault.

Shadow of the Colossus now thats a game that sucked, I don't think I ever beat the very first colossus I saw

Next gen madden - i thought from my ps2 up to 360 a brand new madden would be a huge step forward, 4 years later im still waiting for a step forward

gears of war 2 - loved the original, multiplayer being flawed early killed it for me

halo 3 - never played a halo before this, main reason i switched from ps2 to the xbox side, played maybe for a week and got bored

Absolutely Far Cry 2. I thought that game was going to be amazing, but by the time I'd played two or three missions fighting against pathetic AI I was sick of it. Created a wonderful environment and fucked up everything that happened in it.

Fallout 3 > Shadow of the Colossus?

:jonesy:

 

[Goober]

Call of Duty 4...what a huge let down that game was.

Single player was unrealistic and nothing interesting or surprising happened in it. Multiplayer just sucked dick.


haha I kid.

First anyone who thinks its Madden should be shot in the face.
You deserve all the pain you get for thinking for a second Madden was going to improve.
Same engine thats STILL based on PS1 ground work. A team that lied to you EVERY year last gen , slapped us in the face with some BS E3 video , and you had to have bought all the shit the dickfaces at MM and Maddennation were feeding you about "next year baby!" for you to think Madden would be playable.

Anyone who paid attention knew damn well what garbage Madden was going to be.

Anyways...my vote..


Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior.

Absolute trash to the point of being unplayable.
Nowhere on the same planet as the first 2 Ghost Recon games on XBOX1 let alone PC.


Halo 3 , GTA 4 and GOW 2 were massive let downs...BUT

Halo 3 was too short abysmal level design later levls and NEVER EVER AT ANY POINT had the scale or awesomeness promised by developers or the Fuckin commercial!!
The MP was fantastic. So many new options and just a ton of fun.

Gears 2 SP outside of a garbage final final boss was great ..the MP was utter trash. 3 updates before it became reasonable. Took the worst elements of other MP games with none of the great stuff.


GTA4....
Sure it couldnt live up to the hype but if Midnight club/ Burnout paradise can have such detailed and massive cities...why does GTA give me some bootleg not even close to attractive shitfest of a NYC rip off.
Shitty selection of cars and takes too long to get interesting story and garbage worse that GOW 2 online play is just manure.

But it still was the same damn game. I personally never got into GTA because of how bored I got so quickly. My experience was the same with this.


Honorable Mention----
Rainbow Six Vegas 2. What a half ass job.
SF4 awesome look , and characters...but atrocious story , garbage boss , and still not listening to people online multiplayer.

90% of games that review well never get greeted by the gamers as well, maybe if they started paying me i would love the game too...

Which is why out of 188 user votes it received an 8.7?

If you didn't like the game I have no problem with that, but to say the game sucked. That's just sacreligious. It did not suck and received nothing but rave reviews from everyone users/websites/magazines/people in the industry.

It was not the most exciting game in the world and it no doubt took a while to get into, I'll definitely give you that.

That doesn't necessarily mean it sucked.

Maybe I'll dust off the ps2 and pop this game in if I can find where I put it, People love crap all the time doesn't make that crap any less crap, I mean we voted bush jr. in twice...

 

[FedEx227]

Hahaha... no I mean, it's not a crappy game but it's not a very popular or overly "fun" type of game so I have no problem with you saying you didn't like it... I just don't think you can justify saying the game sucked, especially if you never played through it.

I wouldn't say it was a ltedown but I would agree that it was/is completely overrated.

I totally agree. Vegas 1 blew Vegas 2 out of the water. I picked up RBSV2 the day it came out only to sell it in 2 weeks. fucking garbage.

Halo 3, cant play that boring POS for more than 20 mins, and i never got into GTA 4
