NickDiamondz Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My biggest upset is a toss up between duke nukem and brink, I had high hopes for both and they both were highly over rated and huge money losers for both Gearbox and bethesda. My All Time biggest upset is a hard one to think of, whats yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFZ Scrubs Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Brink is pretty bad compared to what I thought it'd be... so that's me for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Spraggsy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Goldeneye Reloaded. This first three levels were brilliant then it just turned into Call of Duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGbivvie Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Brink was only £39.99 for about a week, then it dropped hard. Its like £10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Definitely Brink. Had such high hopes for that game and it really was a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veedrock Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Admittedly I haven't played that many games released this year, but of what I have played I'd say its a toss-up between Homefront and MvC3. Homefront just didn't deliver at all, single player is dull as hell and I still haven't beaten it because of that, and MP wasn't spectacular and good GOD was the game infested with campers. The MP gripe might be personal bias though, pretty sure I'm just turned off by all online FPS. MvC3 didn't inherently have anything wrong with it, but the fact that they released an updated version within the same year just grinds all the wrong gears. All time? My answer will probably change as I think about it but off the top of my head I'ma say Dragonball Z Sagas. Man there was so much hype for that game, but it was so short (stopped after Cell, wtf?) and had no replay value. Co-op was admittedly fun though.

Nozza Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm with most people - Brink. Had such promise but it was utter crap. Sad really, as that game could of been soo much more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReign2021 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Didn't really have high hopes for Brink to begin with, so can't say it really disappointed me. Duke Nukem Forever would probably be my closest choice, but terrible as it was I still enjoyed myself going through it a few times. I sold it while it was still worth something, but I'm going to pick it up again for keeps soon as I find a copy for $10. I would say my biggest disappointment of 2011 is that we had no new information on Mirror's Edge 2 or Beyond Good & Evil 2. So many games these days are bland and unoriginal garbage. I really want to see something new and exciting come out with these titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydumbdude Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon. I thought it was ok but really expected something more like the older game. I would say Duke Nukem but I had very low expectations for it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberPunch83 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 This is a bit of a small qualm (I haven't played many games most would consider bad this year) but Alice: Madness Returns was a bit of a letdown. While I still think the gameplay was good and the platforming solid, I recently found out how much material had to be cut from the main game. Boss fights, minigames, whole levels had to go. The game would have been truly amazing had it contained what they originally wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilled Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Homefront was a huge letdown. I got it for the story and it was 4 hours long. :S Online is laggy and there's not much to unlock other then a few skins and what not. I got the book for pre-order, the book was good.

TriRock Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I was very disapointed with Homefront, and Halo ODST. Granted the latter wasn't released this year, but I only picked it up a few months ago, and frankly don't see what the rave is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaking live Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 2011? Don't really have one. Of all time? Buying my Atari jaguar for 300 bucks. Just to see it price dropped to 50 bucks a month later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I still think the gameplay was good and the platforming solid, I recently found out how much material had to be cut from the main game. Boss fights, minigames, whole levels had to go. The game would have been truly amazing had it contained what they originally wanted to. It was just too long to complete each level. I love the game but I play a level and I just want to stop Goldeneye Reloaded. This first three levels were brilliant then it just turned into Call of Duty. It just wasn't as good as the original. It is one of the games (64 version) I would gladly pay 30$ just to play a port on my Xbox.

TakahashiDemon Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 WWE All Stars.. they hyped it up far too much, I completed it within 2 days and that was doing stuff over and over, the fighting mechanics were simple too.. I hear they're suppose to be doing one like Street Fighter next year? but it's developed by THQ so I won't expect much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecadentBeaver Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon. I thought it was ok but really expected something more like the older game. I would say Duke Nukem but I had very low expectations for it in the first place. I bought it on release day for £30 which I thought was a bargain. But I'm with you, it just doesn't have the same atomsphere of the first. Looked good, plenty of weapons and decent armour suits, but only 15 levels!? Bit of a letdown as I finished it in a few hours. If I was online, I could have played some co op. I eventually traded it in to pre order Skyrim. When I went to the counter in Gamestation with Brink and Duke Nukem, the lad there said to me " put them back, cos they're really shit". Saved me wasting money. So bought Alan Wake and Red Faction Armageddon and was impressed with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worhammer Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Homefront or Brink. Probably Homefront would have to take the top of these two. Brink was a decent game, I just felt cheated for buying it full price. Definitely worth $30, definitely not worth $60. I enjoyed it, but it was disappointed because it could've been SO MUCH MORE. Homefront on the other hand...complete letdown. Glad I played it at a friend's house before I went to the store to get it, cause I woulda been super pissed off had I actually paid for that piece of garbage.

sleepydumbdude Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Still not over FFXIII lol. What a disappointment. (Don't ask about sig ok. OvO) Thats probably one of mine for all time. Its the first Final fantasy since I started playing with US II that I didn't finish minus FFXI. Its also the last time I preorder one of them. I doubt I'll even try FFXIII-2. The next single player one will be a rental before I decide on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to see it price dropped to 50 bucks a month later. OUCH, thats what happened when I bought dreamcast and original xbox, wife was upset and said she wouldn't buy me another system. Then I paid 500 for 360 and 700 for ps3, with the latter being crap. Its a great blu ray player tho, with exception for MGS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickDiamondz Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 FF13 goes into top 5 let downs of all time, ff11 was letdown being that it was an MMORPG. Apparently 13-2 is what 13 should have been tho so I am looking forward to it. I wish they would remake anthology or make a FF7-8 and 9 HD collection, that would be amazing!!
