The Most Disappointing Games of 2007

[Gfunk4life]

Each to their own. BioShock was simply class.

i just didnt get in to it. it wasnt a bad game.

the fricking flood! My least favourite parts of any of the halo games were parts that involved the flood. They go from wonderful and dynamic AI firefights to one mindless creature after another running straight at you; and unless you have that shotgun, they aren't going down without a bazillion shots.

agreed, i cant win the game on the 2 harder modes because i cant pass the flood.

I found Assassin's Creed really really fun, but far too repetitive with the tasks/missons and Call of Duty 4 was absolutely awesome, while it lasted, I found it to be far too short :(

Mass Effect let me down a bit because the worlds you can land on (as someone else mentioned) are far too samey, although other than that its fricking awesome... other than the bloody thresher maws!

I haven't played Crysis yet because my pc can't handle it sadly, but from what I've seen, it isn't the most popular of games, Which is a shame because I loved FarCry, it is holding on to its place in my top 5 games ever and has since I first played it.....

[REM2000]

I would say Halo3 but i didn't like any of the halo games so i think it's just i don't get on with the series. I think the biggest disappointment was HL2:Episode 2, i thought it was pretty boring with a cliche ending, the hunters didn't really add anything for me to the game.

It's the games fault you suck? :laugh:

[Remysaus]

Bioshock for me.

i loved the demo, really dug the vibe and the backstory, but when i bought i just kept telling myself i was liking it while i was really dissapointed with the gameplay (why can't i just die and go back to a checkpoint with my weapons and all intact instead of spawning in some tube in the middle of a crowd of enemies with no ammo and hardly any health.) just not my idea of fun.

never got to finish it because it got way too frustrating, and halo 3 came out right on time before i would smash some stuff.

My first big disappointment was CoD4.

I'm a WWII maniac and I was disappointed, BUT CoD4 turned to be the BEST so far.

So, I hoped a lot of MoH: Airbone. I always wanted to be an Airborne and MoH: A where my absolute dream. Unfortunately, the Crap AI and some other crap stuff (WTF is with the snipers having a light on them???) made it just BAD.

The second disappointment where Quake Wars. I love Battlefield's gameplay, but both BF2 and BF2142 are bugged as hell. I hoped lot for QW since the gameplay was supposed to feel a bit the same. But when the demo where out, it didn't took me long to see how crap it was.

The final disappointment is as lot of people said, Need For Speed Pro Street. Hey, FTFS. stop changing the NFS dammit. Every games are totally different at each years. Stop calling them NFS.

TH: Proving Grounds was one of the worst games to come out this year, Skate blew it away .

[Deaf Spacker]

Halo 3, can't believe I wasted my money on it :(

[Edge00]

Obviously alot of disappointment has to do with overhyped games and people having misguided expectations.

For example,

Lost Planet, I recently found it at Target for $15. I knew what kinds of reviews it has gotten and I knew what to expect from the game. I like it, in my opinion it is $15 well spent and I have had fun with it.

I noticed that someone said that MP3:Corruption disappointed, honestly I don't see how. That game was amazing, it had fantastic gameplay and great controls.

As for me, I am rarely disappointed by games. I think have been disappointed in the past and have somewhat of a jaded outlook when it comes to new games.

hmm i dont get it, i just completed crysis and i would say its one of the best games ive ever played, i cant understand why people dislike it so.

if you cant play it properly because your machine isnt up to it, dont blame the game!

[ZombieFly]

what a completely lame and uninformed statement!

Crysis barely works on the most uber of systems. This is a well known fact, you've just made yourself look like a moron :rolleyes:

umm not really, i played it on a q6600, 2gb ram & a 8800gts, thats hardly uber and it was very playable.

granted, i was playing it on medium quality settings but even so it still looked better then any game ive ever played.

no need for name calling now...

[abulfares]

NFSPS and FIFA 08

[[LOF]skinnylegs]

I was really disappointed with UT3. I've been a big UT fan since it was first released and I simply didn't find anything compelling about this release. The weapons also feel 'kinda wonky.

Thank goodness for CoD4 and BioShock! :-)

[Ivand]

Crysis & NFS ProStreet.

Radish?

[solardog]

Really? More than you just made yourself look with your uber crappy response?

Pretty much November that they said it will be "THE MONTH" for bestsellers, was actually "THE MONTH FOR GAME DISASTERS"

My Top 5 of the Most Disappointing Games of 2007:

1. Hellgate London - Beautiful concept - Very poor implementation

2. Need for Speed Pro Street - EA, I suggest you stop developing the series its only getting worse :cry:

3. Soldier of Fortune 3 and Blacksite Area 51 - Complete Disasters

4. Timeshift - Boring after couple hours of gaming

5. Colin Mcrae 2007 - Compared to the other games from the CM series, it just sucks!!

P.S. To all those saying that Bioshock sucks ----- play the entire game and think again!!! :cool: . Personally I think its the only decent game that i've played in 2007, and it is surely in my top 7 all time favorites!! :p

Blah

I noticed that someone said that MP3:Corruption disappointed, honestly I don't see how. That game was amazing, it had fantastic gameplay and great controls.

I didn't say it was bad. I said it was a disappointment. And, compared to its two predecessors, it was.

Wii controls aren't responsive. When they work, they're a dream. But when they kick out, it's frustrating. That problem was slight in Twilight Princess. It was almost nonexistent in Mario Galaxy. But every five minutes of Metroid Prime 3 was interrupted by a grappling beam that wouldn't go when I pushed the nunchuk and an aiming system that was easily 2-3 inches off from where I was actually aiming.

Metroid Prime 3 seemed to cater to a more casual crowd than Prime 1+2. The game was divided into bite sized chunks. Since the areas were broken up so often loads occurred way more frequently. Power ups weren't even hidden. There were maybe ten things in the game that weren't literally right in your path- something that really let me down. Plus the awesome challenge of Prime 2 was totally lost here. Prime 3 was like Metroid with training wheels.

** PES2008 (PES2007 was fantastic... but this was complete rubbish)

** NFS: Pro Street

** Fifa '08 (I kept this one because it just was better than PES2008 and was a minor...VERY MINOR upgrade over '07)

what a completely lame and uninformed statement!

No, you're wrong. People said the same thing about Flight Simulator X because the best systems then (last year) could not handle it at all. Now it can and people love it. Graphics is a huge component of Crysis' hype and gameplay.

My first big disappointment was CoD4.

I'm a WWII maniac and I was disappointed, BUT CoD4 turned to be the BEST so far.

We had to turn away from the WWII theme. The market was flooded with those type of games. MoH, Company of Heroes, Battlefield 1942, etc.

In regards to my earlier post (it seems I can't edit it again), I wanted to reiterate that MP3 being a disappointment is my opinion. I was explaining myself, not stating that everyone should have felt the same way and "here's why."

If someone else enjoyed it, good. I actually envy you, because I wanted to love that game.

[goji]

Halo 3 & Assassins Creed.

[Blodia]

So from what I've read, like 99% of you said you hated prostreet..why? I found it enjoyable, or did I miss something? What didnt you guys like about the game? (ok it had a few bugs)

[theyarecomingforyou]

Crysis - not only does it run like a dog on my system (8800GT) but the gameplay blows as well; the multiplayer is completely inexcusable and lacks any enjoyability.

No, I definitely see what your saying. I'm not so closed minded to say that everyone has to love every game. Honestly it was pretty easy, compared to other Metroid games (I have them all except Metroid 2 on gameboy, and Metroid Zero Mission on gba) But I loved it, I would say MP3 single handedly makes me never want to use a dual analog control stick configuration for a shooter again.

But as far as the accuracy, I thought it was spot on (I played it on the advanced control scheme, with the sensitivity turned up). In my opinion there were certain segments that *could not* be done on a dual analog controller due to lack of precision, boss fights come to mind.

If I had to name a most disappointing game of 2007, that would be a pretty tough decision, I haven't really been disappointed too much. While, I only played the full version of Crysis, I might agree that it was somewhat of a disappointment. It basically seemed like a tech demo.

[Epimetheus]

I'm surprised there aren't more HG:L haters. Odd.

Anyway, that and MP3 were the biggest disappoints. I usually don't look forward to games at all, but damn you FSS for making me actually do that. I have learned my lesson.
