schoolyd Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I thought Forza 3 was over hyped. It is a good game, but far to much hype was put on the amount of tracks and cars. Realistically there was only really 8 or so locations and then they bulked up the track count by reversing and mirroring the tracks there. Also why have 300 odd cars when most people are only every going to drive about 10 favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spliter Rifle Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Lost Planet had a lot of hype and i just don't think it lived up to it, Modern Warfare 2 had a MASSIVE amount of hype and it almost had it right, but I think they could have done better in the single player though.

blainemaison Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Not out yet but im worried about Batman AA2 has alot to live up to as the first was spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant SK Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 sorry...... alot* lol You were right the first time Another game that didn't live up to the hype was Fable II. I was so excited for that game, but it turned out being mediocre, and it lacked the charm of the first title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginge88isfun Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 For me, the games i bought based on hype and found very disappointing were.... Saw: The Game TNA Impact Lost Planet Sonic The Hedgehog Too Human Agree or Disagree?? SAW: The Game, Lost Planet & Sonic The Hedgehog I can agree with you on, gameplay on all of them is terrible, can't say anything about the other two you've mentioned, but i've heard alot of mixed opinions on the TNA Impact game.

The Tarbender Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ODST- Played it at my friends place rightt when it came out and it just seemed to be lacking Fable 2 - Seemed to have too many aspects going on that tried to blare over the fact that it was basically linear. Still enjoyed it though Dante's Inferno - I was super pumped up for this one and gameplay wasn't bad on it, just wish they lengthened out the story and it had less of a GOW feel to it. Mafia 2 - Was great, just felt like it should've been more like GTA or even The Godfather when you were not playing the story line NIER - The gameplay just seemed way to dated for being a new game, almost like Square Enix was moving a box in a store room and found something that was supposed to be released about 5-8 years ago and said 'hey, we might as well try and make our money back from developing this'. But the one that seems to be the true let down is going to be Gothic 4!!! I absolutely loved wasting hours of my life playing Gothic 3, just finished the demo on this and it seems like the whole gameplay experience has taken a huge step backward.

TuMaBlAcK Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 For me it was Grand Theft auto 4 loved San Andreas still play it on my PS3 the whole gangster thing was epic win for me LOL AND of course let's not forget MW2 me and my friends were all stoked for this game and when we finally get to play it full of glitches and unbalanced weapons I could play CoD4 for days hell I still play it till now so I really expected a lot from MW2, once it was 1000'd it was out of my hands.

l Absolution l Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I believe I remember Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising to be a highly anticipated game. I myself have never played it, but I've heard that it wasn't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UXE Ninja Cow Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I was slightly underwhelmed by the storyline in Halo Reach, but I am yet to properly play the online so I hope it will redeem itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Reach. The gameplay is stellar but the maps are underwhelming at best, which really hurts the MP side of the game, imo. And MOH. I don't think I've ever beat a campaign on hard that fast before. Holy shit was it easy..and I rarely say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyx Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have to say Halo Reach. I must have missed something, because I loved Halo 3 and I can't really say why I don't like Reach - it just doesn't have that special thing to make me get hooked.

Douy75 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Fifa 11 for me. Fifa 10 was pretty good, but had some bugs/flaws. These haven't been sorted in 11 and the game is generally just worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1000013 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Even though it could have been better, Fallout 3 really disappointed me. As a fan of the old ones, the game feels very foreign to me in comparison. Oh well. Hope New Vegas is better. And yet you have a Fallout 3 site avatar,Fallout 3 gamerpic and a My gamercard background of Fallout 3 . I'd say MW2 (because of online play) DR2 (It tried to do to much and messed up in my opinion) RDR (glitches ruined it for me) Bioshock 2 (great game just a bad story) ME2 (story let me down) Games that I thought were going to be rubbish but ended up being great: Fallout 3 (I only started playing it for GS and I loved it all the way through) Two worlds Sniper: ghost warrior Singularity But the biggest disappointment ever for me was Kane and Lynch 2. Normally sequels add to the first one. Not make it worse it barely took me 4 hours to complete it. It's story was stupid. Hit detection/bullet sponge was awful.The invisable camera man effect was also poorly thought up. How did they fuck it up so bad is beyond me. Wow I complain to much :-P.

mindphluxnet Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Alan Wake was supposed to be a "scary horror shocker" with a storyline that was hyped as a "bastard lovechild of David Lynch and Steven King". It was also in development for 5 years, which didn't help matters much - after all these years, the engine feels dated, the story is weak (not to mention the blatant Twin Peaks ... rip... uh, "hommage) and the game is just not scary at all because all monsters are given away by the gameplay mechanics. Yes, if you couldn't tell from that, I was pretty disappointed with Alan Wake. Oh, I also can't see whats the deal about Dead Rising. Just because it's a game with zombies doesn't mean it's great (really, the zombie thing has been done to death by now, let it go already). The clunky mechanics and terrible interface really don't improve overall quality. Sadly, that's exactly the same issue with about every western release of japanese games - they might have good ideas, but the execution sucks in any way possible. At least DR didn't have that hideous Times New Roman font every single japanese game seems to use for some reason.

ROB LLOYD NUFC Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Mafia II looked really good on the advertisements but when i got it i wasnt impressd it was very boring after a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StW Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I can't really say, since I haven't played the game yet, but Medal of Honor was supposed to be really good but according to reviews it just doesn't seem to do it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchcraft1980 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 dont know if i already mentioned any but ... Lord of the rings ( cant remember exactly which one it was ) but i thought it sucked I am also a bit let down by Final fantasy 13 gfx , i thought would be much better and the cinematics in battles are not what i thought they would be, i loved FFX so much better . Also i was a bit let down by the GFX on AVP but thats because i was getting it mixed up with the previews of colonial marines which looks awesome. Fable 2 i thought would have much more content but im almost complete it within no time atol. I am not saying i dont like these games i am just saying i expected more is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
