Biggest game disappointment of 2009


Recommended Posts

We have a game of the year thread, so why not have a biggest disappointment thread too...

For me, it has to be Modern Warfare 2.

Killzone 2, RE5, and Bionic Commando could all suck a big one

Prototype, Lucidity, and the Turtles remake are pretty up there for me as well, but my hopes weren't that high for them to begin with

Nothing I bought or played disappointed me much this year, I have such self belief in my own games taste I don't pickup duds :rofl:

I guess it has to go to Silent Hill Homecoming just because I was so upset Konami panned it off to an American developer and it obviously went down the pan. RE5 is a close second for completely abandoning it's roots.

Seeing where both my choices are from, I have to say I'm sorely disappointed and worried about where the horror genre has gone in gaming. It's all turned into mediocre action games, or been given to Americans to develop and we all know how absolutely BS most of the plots/stories and atmosphere that comes out of American horror. Japanese do it best.

Well, what did you think of Dead Space?

Also, the new Silent Hill looks really good

I didn't really have any, to be honest. I generally don't buy games unless I'm sure I'm going to like them. 2009 has been a good year for me :D

Dead Space was completely predictable Western "horror", aka cheap scares. New Silent Hill is awful.

You see what I like about horror is tension/atmosphere/feeling oppressed/feeling trapped/story/psychological involvement. SH2 was a masterpiece for that.

I do not care for cheap scares and stupid gore/gun violence for horror.

Siren for the PS3 was quite good, but flawed.

Modern Warfare 2. I beat special-ops and single player (both 100%) in 4 days? and I played single player for about a whole 3 days after before I finally decided this game is absolutely stupid.

Modern Warfare 2 is my biggest disappointment for 2009. I am SO glad other people are on the same level with me on this one.

MW2 is my biggest. Seems games are only being made mostly for PvP and not single player. I dont like playing against or with other cept for co-op mode. If MW2 solo campaign mode was 3-4 times longer, I would have a diff opinion.

Please don't attack me for saying this, Windows 7. For me it was a huge disappointment.

This is Gamers' Hangout.

I edited the title to be more clear for people who are seeing this in Latest Forum Activity.

I mean the new NEW Silent Hill. The only thing you have in it is a Flashlight. No guns no nothing

Oh the Wii one?

It's a re-visioning of SH1, it isn't really a new SH...

Didn't know it was a SH1 "remake." I'm still curious about it thought

Yeah the SP was disappointing. I liked it but I wasn't expecting the game to be that short. I don't call is the disappointment of the year because Spec Ops was ok and I like the MP.
