The Most Disappointing Games of 2007

[lnmnky]

Assassin's Creed.

I felt that the AI was completely overhyped. The living crowds were probably 20 different characters repeated. "100s of unique NPCs" --- yeah right.

Pickpocketing is a click-and-win. May as well not have bothered making it a feature.

Saving locals plays out the same couple of ways, over and over again.

I'm still playing through it, and still enjoying it though. But it was definitely over-sold. There simply is not enough variety in the game which boasted so much variety.

I know that in first-person-shooters, there is literally 1 way to kill someone. Shoot them.

For some reason I don't get the same satisfaction from knifing people 5 different ways. :/ Maybe it's because First person shooters are expected to change the gaming world.

Unreal Tournament 3 was a disappointment to me. :/

[Ayepecks]

Unreal Tournament 3 was a disappointment to me. :/

Forgot that one also.

Halo 3 was also a slight letdown given the massive hype, but it was still good.

Kane & Lynch was a letdown, too.

What's that avatar? What's that sig? :huh:

The last good NFS game was underground 2 :(

[Sam Symons Veteran]

Somebody bought NFS:PS?! :p

My brother did that. I was gunna stop him, but the memory of him selling MY classic Xbox (with about 10 games and 2 controllers) for a PS2 with no games, one controller and no memory card came back. I just let him waste his money.

I really liked Shadowrun, although I only got to play it for a little while.

Someone mentioned Crysis and I couldn't agree more. Then again, any game by Crytek should be up there. I made the mistake of buying FarCry (I'll be honest, because it looked HOT) and that game was awful. Absolutely no good plot whatsoever. The same can be said for Crysis.

[MGS4-SS]

Crysis. So much hype for such a piece of ****.

Yey, another SR fan! :D

Crysis all the way. Other than graphics, nothing exciting.

As far as Hellgate. People were simply expecting too much because of the Diablo team and too much was promised to begin with. Other than that the game is great and has future potential.

[intrinity1]

wasn't there alot of hype for Enchanted Arms???

i bought the special edition version of that game the day it came out, put it in my 360 and after about 25 minutes of listening to the dialoge without even barely getting to play the game i took it out and haven't played it since.

NFS: Pro Street

Crysis

[Kerm]

Halo 3.

[exotoxic]

halo3

[PricklyPoo]

What's that avatar? What's that sig? :huh:

That would be unreal tournament. *sarcasm*

Considering I have been playing UT since ut99 I figured I still have to reperesent. :)

But I still think UT3 isn't even close to what it should have been. Hardly anyone is even playing it so online I can hardly even find someone to play.

[Valerus]

Hellgate sounds about right.

[:: Lyon ::]

I found it shocking that people hate Crysis and Assassin's Creed? Are they that bad?

[MightyJordan]

In my opinion:

• Halo 3 (too much hype)
  
• Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (gameplay has gone backwards and online play is diabolical)
  
• Forza Motorsport 2 (in the long term, it wears off)
  
• Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (same old, same old)
  
• WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 (worse than its predecessor)
  
• Bioshock (Doom 3 set in the old days, but not as good)
  
• Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (Typical EA recycling)
  
• Blazing Angels 2 (what the hell were they thinking?)
  
• Lost Planet (highly overrated)

Exactly, i thought the same.

[KoL Veteran]

Assassin's Creed is not bad. I like it, its a good game.

Sim City Societies. I want a Sim City 5.

Have you played Crysis? Yes, it is that bad.

[Leo Natan]

Crysis. Had all the graphics but no gameplay. And the ending just sucked seriously.

[Kerm]

I love it.

[qdave]

Need for speed pro street....that was just bad!

and hellgate london.

and sim city societies.

[PT 13]

Crysis...

Would say NFS:PS but ... wasn't expecting much anyway so...
