The Most Disappointing Games of 2007


Recommended Posts

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.

I played on advanced, too. Ditto with sensitivity. My Wii remote/sensor bar has always been a little off (Wii Sports crapped out on me a few times, controls locking up or motions not being recognized- something that hasn't happened on my friends' consoles), but it's been most noticeable on MP3. I realize 1:1 controls are impossible (or nearly) on the Wii, but I wish they could be calibrated at least a little bit more.

prob kane and lynch - was really expecting the world from this one.

same here.

it expected it to be THE game with uber characters and graphics, and some improved gameplay, as last hitman didnt have it

turned out, that there was not even one thing to like about it

You guys bashing UT2007 or UT3 and Crysis are out of your minds....dummies, Bioshock even? WTF are you guys smoking

IMO I wouldn't called UT3 the MOST disappointing game but I have to agree with Crysis, sure it looked great but I just didn't seem to like it (probably because I didn't like Farcry at all). I even enjoyed NFS Prostreet than Crysis more... :o

ProStreet for it's controls, repetitiveness and especially for having to listen to the commentator saying "RYAN COOPER!" all the damn time.

Other than that, pretty much every game that came out recently except for COD4 and BioShock.

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.

HG:L is my favorite game of the year and damn near all time.

Bioshock was a huge letdown. The concept is great, but I can't get past all the ugly visuals. And I wasn't too crazy about the combat.

Counter-Strike: Source

Half-Life 2

2007, not 2004. :p

For me, probably Guitar Hero III, the Wii, and Ace Combat 6.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Crysis was a slight disappointment, only because the suit powers weren't as necessary as I'd hoped they were going to be, but it was still a fantastic game.

    • This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).
    • Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
