Your biggest ever let down game... EVER!

#1:Deus Ex 2, I bought a brand new graphics card for it, bought it and got quite far but thought it was utter tripe.

#2:Age of Conan, after thinking 1-20 was fantastic it quickly turned into a grindfest with lack of quests.

Kasumi ninja a mortal combat game on the atari jaguar, which to this day is still some where in the garden after i threw it there after 1 go

most recent was some matrix game a few years ago,that went straight onto the bay,sorry to whoever bought that from me.
 
Spinter Cell conviction. DRM destroyed this game I think. Keeps saying it can't connect to master servers when Im online. Numerous threads on ubisoft forums with No responses from ubisoft about a fix.
 
If i had to pick one... mmm Wow: Burning Crusade, when i used to play WoW.

It just cemented for me that Blizzard were just going to repeat the same stuff over...and over...and over again with a minor change here and there. Granted it's an mmo, and to be expected, but i would have liked to have had some more variety in the quests and content. I was expecting something a bit grander, considering WoW has a pretty solid foundation for its story and lore. I was dissapointed when this wasn't as apparent as I'd hoped. Not all mmo's have to be grind fests :( something new please.

The randomly generated items was complete bull. It's not random at all.

The combat system is sub-par, hit detection is awful and being a console port the PC version suffers hugely when it comes to using/equipping items and general bugs/usage. The GameSpy REQUIREMENT was also a huge fat mistake.

It should have been a great drop in and play game but it's not simple enough for that but the complexities of the game are not all that welcome either. The different damage types could have been an interesting thing but they are also a hindrance.

Some damage types are completely useless versus some enemies and WAY too overpowered versus others.

On another note the stats of weapons are so stupidly bull it makes it impossible to make informed choices. Bullet counts, accuracy ratings, scoped accuracy ratings, damage type etc etc.

Spec a certain talent tree and you are locked into a certain field of weaponry and play-style. This works for a proper full on character progression game but Borderlands is not that platform. It should have been a FPS iteration of Diablo and it's a FAR cry from that.

Hacked characters and item duplication destroy any real on-line play outside of friends and you end up with a game which lacks re-playability with more annoyances than simple good gaming should have.

It was over-hyped, not shipped as advertised and too buggy for PC release.

Don't agree with most of your ponts and thoroughly enjoyed the game. I think it's best if we agree to differ ;)

- And to the guy who said Frontier:FE. Yes... yes yes yes.
 
Spore
Sniper Ghost Warrior - I was hoping for a decent sniper game... i got failure.
Red Alert 3
CnC 4
NFS: World
Champions Online
Star Trek Online
Stalker - Just couldn't get into it
GTA4

Probably a few others that i've already thrown out...
 
ET:Quake Wars for me. Bought a new PC so I could play it and spent a lot less time than I thought I would on it. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game but it's too far removed from the physics of the first one which I loved so much.

The new PC came in handy anyway :D

1: Warhammer Online. I still sub, and play occasionally but it could have been so much more.
2: WoW WOTLK. The begining of easymode (and no. hard modes dont make up for it)
3: DoW2. Dumbed down RTS with no base building? no thanks.
4: MW2. no comment...

Going to have to add HL2 to that list.. Dont get me wrong its good, but a game where you essentially only kill 3 different enemies(combines, head crabs & headcrab zombies) throughout the whole friggin game?? I've not yet completed it (am on "Follow Freeman") but its becoming a real chore to play.
Hoping EP1 & 2 provide more entertainment.
 
for me its gotta be:

1) Supreme Commander II: what an enormous fall from grace that was, talk about dumbed down for the masses, thats an understatement!

2) Portal: seriously, the most pointless game i have ever played. over-simplistic, gimmicky and generally over-rated

3) Oblivion: didn't even look that nice, controls were needlessly terrible and the game was just boring, fortunately they also made Fallout III which was brilliant!

4) Sim City IV: what exactly was special about this, it looked terrible and wasn't even that amusing to play...?

5) Stalker (in general): still not sure exactly whats meant to be good about it..? :confused:

Edit: can I also add most disappointing game hero as well? since I would say Gordon Freeman, regular bloke in a suit with glasses, a beard and a crossbar..! he had to fight what is basically a burger with legs, those headcrab things.
 
Alien vs Predator.
All Points Bulletin
GTA4 (Loved it on Xbox, I really should have read reviews before buying due to awful PC optimisation).
