Biggest Letdown This Generation

rjk · 9 May 2008 at 16:44

just liked the idea of wannabedamned's favourites thread but i thought a biggest letdown thread would also show the other side of the scale well
please keep this thread only about software as hardware favouritism will make this just 'another fanboy war' thread

my big letdown has to be Halo3

whats yours?

EDIT* this was intended to be about games - please no hardware references as nobody likes a fanboy war thread...

EDIT*2
keep this to software only please - again...

The OP said no consoles to stop it turning into a flame war

at least someone read my post

come on guys - keep it on track -

the thread was started as a bit of an opinion poll on games - as was stated

not for a console war trolling session

Krono - im not going to quote your massive post - but...

great points made - i think posting it on the bungie site would cause a bit of a ruckus

however - all the points you make are valid
'opinionated' - yes, but its that kind of feedback that game developers look for to improve their games

some of the points you raise will cause the bungie.net bunch to call you a troll etc but im pretty sure that your opinions will be heard by the team - way i see it is that they are going to look for critical posts rather than praise posts

and your critique is constructive and comes from experience

post it on bungie and get back to us here with a link so we can see the reaction...

ok im changing mine

i know i started the thread so i should really stick to my forst choice of halo 3 but...

-its gtaIV
i havent ever been so bored

i feel like im only playing it to get my moneys worth

im exploring everything

and to think - i put off buying mgs 4
only so this had another week of playtime

i cant be bothered with the rubbish multiplayer
i cant be bothered with the boring missions

mgs4 feels complete within the first 3 hours i have played it
gtaIV feels like i havent done anything in a whole month of slogging at it
