Biggest game disappointment of 2009


Recommended Posts

Wait. Borderlands doesn't use the Steam DRM, but instead uses SecuRom? That is pretty weak. I bought Borderlands on Steam so I couldn't have more **** installed.

Yes, it uses SecuROM. Must be nice having a credit card.

Take 2 year old game

Shorten campaign

Ruin multiplayer experience

remove custom content

spit in the face of your dedicated fans

add 10$ to price tag

Modern Warfare 2. Thought it'd be like CoD4 with me playing it all day every day, but instead I got sick of it in days and have already sold it. Shame.

And because the game is selling like crazy (even if people end up getting bored quick), they will keep shoveling out **** that's exactly like it.

Left 4 Dead 2

Took 1.5 hours to finish the campaign on co-op...****ing rip off. (good thing I didn't that POS)

How in the world did you complete all 5 l4D2 campaigns in 1.5 hours.

I guess i've only played with crappy people.

I'd like to add Fat Princess to this list. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game. But because my friends list is usually inactive as a whole and a weak online community, I think this game could have been so much more.

i agree, such a waste of money :(

Torchlight

the sex toy?

i'd also like to add a few:

Gordon brown!

the UK's launch of the Palm Pre.

Fairytale Fights (ps3)

Is it just me, or does it **** you off when somebody posts MW2.

MW2 = Mechwarrior 2.

Honestly, it trips me up, but it doesn't annoy me at all, the mechwarrior series is long gone unfortunately

seriously. At times it takes us over 2 hours to complete a single campaign. To complete all of the campaigns would take a long time.

also, left 4 dead 1 and 2 were not meant to be played like a single player game. I assume that person didn't "get it"

MW2's Multiplayer was the biggest disappointment of the year for me. The single player was good (if not a little short) but activision completely and utterly killed the multiplayer in MW2. It's gimped so much its not even worth playing.

Killzone 2 - Probably the biggest flop ever

GoW2 - At least the MP was. It got worse and worse as time went on (yes I know it came out 2008)

Wet - just awful on all accounts. Watch a movie instead

Wolfenstein - Pretty much killed all the good memories I had of Wolf games

GT PSP - close behind KZ2 as one of the worst releases ever.

FUEL - had so much potential but was ultimately boring

FEAR 2 - came and went without much of a splash after a lot of build up to release. MP was horrendous.

King of Fighters XII - wtf were they thinking...

Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics - again another example of the new Nintendo and their lack of innovation and more milking of casual games

The Sims 3 - the formula is just boring and dried up now

NFS Shift - horrible controls

DiRT 2 - same as NFS: S

Red Faction Guerrilla - one trick pony and a snore fest

And of course all movie licensed games and waggle stick **** on the Wii which don't even deserve naming.

If I insulted your GOTY, good, I don't give a rats ass.

Resident Evil 5 - Gameplay was just so dated. Pretty much killed the RE franchise for me and I've played and enjoyed RE 1-4.

Street Fighter 4 - I know a lot of people liked it but I still get the same feeling I had when I played SF3. I never wanted to use nor cared about any of the new characters. I much prefer Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Prototype - Just an unpolished, repetitive game.

Forza 3 (graphically) - Graphics were a LOT worse than I thought they would be.

Wet - God was this game awful. Didn't have high hopes for it in the first place but I played it for 30 minutes and I will never touch it again.

MAG - Yes I know it's still in Beta but this game seems like it's doomed already. Everything about this game just screams average. Wasn't even worth the 3GB download.

hey guys come on..

i think nfs shifts gameplay is pretty good ..

just get used to it..

and obviously its totally unplayable on a keyboard..

but i guess fans should know it shouldnt be played on a keyboard

I don't fell that I need to get used to a game's control system. When it sucks, it sucks.

I have it on PC and Xbox 360 with the hope that the controls would be better in the console version.

They are as lame as in the PC version, with keyboard or xbox controller.

I may add Forza Motorsport 3 to the list of disappointments this year just for the same reason as Shift. The controls and gameplay are horrible beyond any doubt.

Maybe playing them with a whell can be better, but there's no excuse for messing up with all the fun of racing games, using keyboard, controller, wheel or whatever.

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.

Yep. RE5 is God-awful.

Modern Warfare 2 for me. After playing some longer games and finding myself completing this in about 4 hours I was left wondering how they could even consider justifying the full rrp. Tried playing multiplayer but just felt either luck based or there were some pretty unstoppable people playing too.

RE5 also sucked so bad I can't even bring myself to finish It. Old and dated controls, awful story and not scary in the slightest.

Torchlight has to be one. They say here is a Diablo 2 clone but got a game to beat in 1 hour with no online play.

I probably put more than an hour into it. But I have to agree. I was hoping it would keep my interest for a lot longer. But, I do think it was pretty fun and worth the $20.

:rofl:

That's just for the ###### still roaming this forum who usually have something to say. Like you said, can't we just post something without it coming under attack. This is my pre-reply to those little ###### I upset and they can't wait to cry over their fav game (Y) ;)

What's wrong with the controls of Dirt 2 and Forza 3? Am I missing something?

I wonder the same thing. I've never played Dirt 2, but I'm loving Forza 3. It is NOT a simulator, BUT it is what NFS: Shift should have been; something in between. The controls are great in Forza 3. The only thing that really bugs me about the game is the load times.
