Biggest Game Letdowns
By Yoda 2 Comments
As this generation of consoles continues to move forward, more and more "AAA" titles are released. However, some of these highly reviewed games are a total letdown to many people. What are your biggest games you were excited for and turned out being disappointed?
For me..: (Just a few..)
Gears of war 2 - i absolutely loved the original gears, especially online. I loved using the shotgun and just having a good time, despite glitchers and roadie runners. For gears of war 2, i enjoyed the single player quite a bit, and i believe it actually improved. For the multiplayer, the matchmaking system was a great improvement, but actually playing matches seemed terrible. I put several hours into it just playing with friends, now i realize how bad it really is. They totally nerfed the shotgun, everyone chainsaws, and whoever has the best connection usually comes out on top.
Brutal legend - an action game? adventure? totally sweet man! just kidding its an RTS.. need i say more?
The conduit - one of the few wii games that i thought actually may have had a chance to appeal to hardcore. In my opinion its another poorly developed, last gen feeling game... just my opinion though.. Remember, nintendo is getting SERIOUS about online gaming
Halo 3:ODST - It has halo in the title... its auto win !! just kidding. ODST was very unique from the other halo games for the campaign, and very alone. This took away the halo feel from fighting an epic war against the covenant.... Hopefully Halo: Reach beta will justify the purchase
Nintendo Wii - I remember back when it was the Revolution. Motion controlling? Wow totally sweet i can't wait! fast forward about 5 years and look at the wii now. Total success in sales, total fail in the hardcore game department. Sure mario, zelda, metroid and stuff are great, but where are the new ip's? Look what sony and microsoft has pumped out .... Littlebigplanet, gears of war, uncharted,infamous, mass effect. Surely nintendo can do at least one major hardcore game and be successful... and i don't mean Wii (Insert name here) games. Oh yeah, i don't even need to get started on how wii motion plus should have been built into the wiimote from the get go..
