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)

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
