The Most Disappointing Games of 2007


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm
    • Grok Adult Content Tops 10 Billion Images Monthly More than half of all traffic flowing through Grok, Elon Musk's flagship AI product, now comes from users requesting pornographic images, explicit videos, and **** roleplay https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319142/20260626/grok-adult-content-tops-10-billion-images-monthly-xai-engineers-admit-csam-has-no-fix.htm
    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
    • How does the disc d-pad work for fighting games? Has anyone had personal experience with that specific question?
