Huge Let Downs

crysis. the "ending" feels like they kinda ran out of budget and said "lets just stop here"

Bioshock. it just hasn't managed to grab me in the way that other games have.

Crysis, proved to me how pathetic pc gaming is now.

All show and no gameplay.

surely only the foolish would have expected it to be anything more than hype? your assumption that Crysis is indicative towards the current state of PC gaming really shows intelligence .. no wait maybe the word is stupidity ? Without turning this into thread #990902 PC > Console reprise, ill go and play SoSE or TF2 or MTW2 or BF2 or .......

OT: The most disappointing game ever for me is easy , T:Vengeance ... utter pap but no game would discourage me from playing other games, that would be rather silly
 
Battlefield 2, but only because my stats don't increase at all. Over 1000 hours on ranked servers and still I'm only a PFC with no unlocks! :(

Only real let down was STALKER, but that was probably because I had such high hopes for the game. And already pictures what the whole game would be like, but it was radically different. Few months later I started to enjoy it though.

Thats wierd, from the screenshots of the game and the description of the storyline prior to release, Stalker turned out pretty much exactly as I had imagined it.

Anyway, I'll stay out of this thread. Can't stand the hard-to-please type of people it inevitably invites.

Hmmm, can't say anything has actually put me off gaming. But I got a bit fed-up a few months ago with the hype and rave reviews of some games which turned out to be pretty poor...

Bioshock - not terrible, but I was looking forward to exploring Rapture and it turned out to be incredibly linear and dull instead. And the AI was stupid. Can't believe it's won so many Game of the Year type awards :confused:

WiC - I hated that game. Sold it in disgust actually, which I never do. Great idea for a game and looked cool........but moving stuff from one circle to another isn't my idea of a game. After playing CoH and Sup-Com I just found it incredibly lame.

Going back a bit further, Unreal II was pretty poor. Oh, and Deus Ex 2 was a crime.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Crysis is ok, not great but to say it's nothing is just silly, we all know how anti PC gaming you are anyway.

A big let down for me was Crysis, not really because the game itself was bad but because Cevat Yerli lied through his teeth about how the game would perform, it's a complete mess.
 
STALKER.
Waited for it for years & expected it to take me over once i played it. When it was released i thought it was Crap, I was Gutted. It made me Sad :(
 
it would have to be Hellgate London for me ,after waiting months and months and then being in the beta and constantly told "its ok things will be better its just the beta" and then finding out the game was exactly like the beta with no more tile sets or newer monsters to shoot to peices.

Also stalker was a good game but origianaly they had planned a hell of a lot more like a lot more of wasted russia to explore and lots of different monsters and beasties to fight
 
Chris Saywers Locomaotion. Transprt Tycoon deluxe is the best game ever and after 10 years he barley improves the graphics and ruins the gameplay :(
 
Stalker - I was really looking forward but it just didnt do it for me.

X3-Reunion - great possibilties p*ss p**r execution

QuakeWars - I admit I only got round to buying this last month, but if there was anyone actually playing it online I might be able to comment.

Im wondering if the Duke franchise has gone too stale to make a comeback.

Umm a bit of a different story but the other day i reinstalled CoH after having not played it for a couple of months (Opposing Fronts should also go on the list but that has improved with patches) anyway the patch system completely died on me and i couldn't patch the game to be able to play online after uninstalling, reinstalling, redownloading multiple times it totally put me off playing the game

Other than that most sequels that dont come close to living up to the originals, deus-ex being the main contender for this award
 
I am let down by the PC game market in general. There seems to be a lot better choice on consoles right now.

But RTS games will always keep me going on this platform :D
