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)

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
