What is the Most Disappointing Game Ever?

[Charlie]

OK, worst game ever is covered, best game ever, best game with monkeys in ball covered...

So how about this... what game was the single biggest let down you ever expirenced?

I've got a couple... Zoda's Revenge was bad but honestly I wasn't expecting it to live up to the original Star Tropics...

And I didn't really enjoy the multiplayer frame-rate of Mario Kart 64.

The runner up (for me anyway) is Ocarina of Time for the N64/Gamecube. A lot of people call this the best video game ever made, but I just found the entire quest to be terminally boring. The empty overworld with little or no badguys between each level was so very dull that I quit playing five times before I beat it (as in stopped playing it for months or years), and I found the dungeons to be tedious and the puzzles to be more annoying then enjoyable. Unlike the temples in Wind Waker or even Majora's Mask.

Speaking of which, Ocarina of Time was so boring that I bought Majora's Mask the day it came out and I didn't even muster up the courage to open the thing and actually play it until over a year later.

But the game that was the biggest let down overall for me was Donkey Kong 64. First off, I really, really enjoyed the first two Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES (thought #3 sucked ass), and I had enjoyed Banjo-Kazooie enough to be psyched for DK64. Instead, I found a game that crawled along at a snail's pace. And the game relied too much on collecting crap then on fun levels and objectives. It could have been fun but lots of the non-DK characters were just no fun to use.

So yep, DK64 is the biggest letdown I ever experienced... but your milage may very.

[Tepic]

Hard choice really.. The worst game ever has to be Myst <yawn>

The most dissapointing for me is Goldeneye on the N64. People raved about it so much I bought a N64 to play the damn thing and it was really rather naff..... Or maybe I was.

[Tempest]

Yeah Myst has to be up there. When I heard about it I was told that it was the most amazing game ever. After struggling to get it loaded on my computer (it never liked my video card), I found out it was a point and click adventure. Now that's not bad (I like those type of games), but it was so god awful boring I quit after only an hour into it. It was like Kings Quest without any of the fun.

Personally I think most of the Neo Geo games fall into this category. The system and games get so much hype that you'd think God himself personally endorses the system, but when you play the games you find that they're OK but nothing great.

Tempest

[portnoyd]

State of Emergency. Potential + GTA3 hype + Shitty Gameplay + Stupid Gameplay + Dull Gameplay = Super Disappointment

The only game I've ever played where I returned the damn thing 2 hours after buying it.

[Eternal Champion]

The original Shadow of the Beast on Amiga is a big one for me. Beautiful game, awesome music, but all but unplayable. Ooooops, forgot about that!

Anything on Sega CD! "HEY! You STILL don't have a CD?!" Er, no.

I know this game wasn't hyped compared to most, but Rise of the Robots. The gaming mags had really cool ads for about 5 minutes, making it look like a movie FX house made the thing, then....CRAP!

[Raedon]

lets see..

any of the "multimedia" Zork games
Neverwinter Nights

[strongmanx]

You like Donkey Kong country for the SNES? Are you crazy? That game was so damn boring. Graphics were pretty for the SNES but the game was BORING!

[hamburgler]

Devil may cry 2
I can understand why the first one was the best in the series but,this one doesn't withstand to it's length of how long the game is.Not that i'm saying the game is bad,I'm just saying how a big dissapointment it was to all devil may cry fan's.

[Atari7800]

I snoozed though THE BOUNCER for PS2...

The PSX game DRAGON BALL GT: FINAL BOUT was supposed to be terrible, and it is, so I guess I wasn't disappointed.

SHINING FORCE 3 on the Saturn is a great game, but I'm totally stuck half-way through (it was my first try at an RPG and I made a lot of mistakes) so I'm really disappointed, but it's not a disappointed game at all.

I'm rambling. :roll:

[portnoyd]

Haha, The Bouncer. The only game you can beat 5 times in 5 hours and then never have to pick it up again. (Well, one of the only)

dave

[Six Switch]

I would go with State of Emergency or Donkey Kong 64,both I had preordered for months and couldn't wait,then I played them.I should have taken them back but now thy are worth nothing. >:(

[MyNameIsBoB]

Starfox Adventures. All you do is go around picking up items and puting them in slots. Thats all the game is. Very disappointing when I beat it in 2 days.

[TheJuggala]

Batman: Dark Tommorow. I waited for months to play this, the graphics looked amazing. So i go and rent it, and the gameplay absoulutely sucks. The camera view is almost the same one they use for Resident evil and i really really hate it. >:(

[Charlie]

State of Emergency is another bad one... that's what it and DK64 had it common... they both got ungodly hype before they came out and they both had little substance. I had a friend who swore up and down that SOE was the best game he ever played one day and then the very next day he was saying how much he hated it. lol

[Atari7800]

I can't believe a forgot these Nintendo 64 stinkers, both of which were highly anticipated and both of which SUCK ASS

Superman 64

Carmagaddon 64

Batman for the N64 sucks ass too, but I think most people expected that one, so it really wasn't that much of a disappointment.

[ManekiNeko]

I'd list the trifecta of Sonic Adventure 2, Crazy Taxi 2, and the sequel to Virtua Tennis. The Dreamcast had left me completely satisfied... until those games were released. Why Sega felt it was necessary to spoil their three most popular franchises with crummy sequels is completely beyond me. Sonic Adventure 2 made the mistake of taking the Sonic games in a cold, dark new artistic direction, and worsened matters by taking my favorite character Tails and bolting him into a mech that COMPLETELY changed the way the character played.
Crazy Taxi 2 had a cast of "new" characters that were really just unimaginative ripoffs of the first four cabbies, plus cities that were much too crowded and clogged with traffic.
Tennis 2K2 (I think that was the title, but don't hold me to that) was the followup to the overhyped Virtua Tennis, featuring real tennis stars but no tennis fun. It was boring and frustrating, and had none of the life of Nintendo's competitor Mario Tennis.
All three games sucked much ass. I bought the last two at Blockbuster for some pocket change and a little belly button lint, and I still felt cheated. It took almost an entire day to accumulate that belly button lint, after all!

[EnemyZero]

The most dissapointing game I ever played...hmmmmm id have to say Starfox Adventures was kinda dull, i waited long for it played it for a bit and then sorta went through that ::looks at game:: hmm do i wanna play? hmmm ...OO PIZZA..for like a month or 2 lol

[Phantom]

Sonic Adventure 2 and Tennis 2K2 are two of my favourite games of all time. :roll:

It was boring and frustrating, and had none of the life of Nintendo's competitor Mario Tennis.I think that Mario Tennis is good, but not great. (I liked the gameboy color version much more than the N64 one). IMO Tennis 2K2 is much much better than Mario Tennis and Virtual Tennis.

[katchoo]

Metropolismania by Natsume...After bring out a game that i LOVE, harvest moon, i thought that this would be another wonderful, addiciting game.

It's so full of bugs, and so confusing, it's not even worth it. :/

[Starcade]

Harvest Moon for PS2, I loved the SNES and PSX versions, but the Ps2 version just sucked...really badly.

[hydr0x]

Devil may cry 2


pretty damn right u are :)

I'd add the following games:

ET, Atari 2600
Master Of Orion 3, PC (Why oh why? part 2 was so great :( )
GTA 2
Doom 2, PC
Commander Keen 7, PC
Secret Of the Stars, SNES
RE for DC, yes, all three, the controlls sucked...
Virtua Fighter 3tb, DC

and a lot more i can't think of right now ;)

[Charlie]

Starfox Adventures is another bad one... still doesn't compare to DK64 (mostly because of the ungodly hype DK got... Star Fox I sort of dreaded).

Like I said before, if MS hadn't bought Rare, they would have gone out of business. Quality is not an issue here: Rare games were not ones that many people bought. Let's go down the list.

Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Blast Corps
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
Goldeneye
Jet Force Gemini
Killer Instinct Gold
Mickey's Speedway USA
Perfect Dark

Eleven games. Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie were huge sellers. Diddy Kong Racing and Perfect Dark did ok. Everything else was a major bust. 2 good sellers, and 2 ok sellers doesn't make up for seven huge failures. This is why Nintendo didn't put up a fight, because they lost nothing. Like Treasure, despite their reputation, Rare is not a company that can sell games based on their name value. LOL, they're name doesn't have any value.

[AB Positive]

This was my own personal case of hype to disappointment, I got a nice trade that included Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn. I was so psyched about this game, I boot it up and start playing. Now, I love MKR the anime but I forgot a couple things.

1) I always watched the series with subtitles.
2) There is no experience system in the game.

Read that second one again if you haven't played the game. Okay, welcome back. Yes, you level up at certain pre-determined points in the game throughout. It's linear, and Clef sounds like "A damn retarded leprechaun" according to one of my friends. I have to agree. I'm keeping it of course, but still. Blegh.

[Neonsolid]

Gone.

[max 330 mega]

well, as people have seen in other "games you didnt like " threads im a pretty picky gamer, and alot of the most loved game series ever i totally hate, but i guess the BIGGEST dissapointment to me was super puzzle fighter 2 turbo, i really thought i was gonna like this game in my mind i had it built up to be different than what it was and i absolutely hated it :o

[kainemaxwell]

Rise of the Robots
Myst (so boring!)
DK64

[pixelsnpolygons]

DK 64, Shadows of the Empire, Banjo Kazooie, Star Fox Adventures.... too hard to choose.

[Kamino]

Zelda 2.

it sucks. badly. i'd bet the battery in mine's dead, as it has not been played in 12 years.

[fishsandwich]

Starfox Adventures is another bad one... still doesn't compare to DK64 (mostly because of the ungodly hype DK got... Star Fox I sort of dreaded).

Like I said before, if MS hadn't bought Rare, they would have gone out of business. Quality is not an issue here: Rare games were not ones that many people bought. Let's go down the list.

Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie

Like Treasure, despite their reputation, Rare is not a company that can sell games based on their name value. LOL, they're name doesn't have any value.

I can see some of these game being sales disappointments, even big sales disappointments in some cases, but you're says Blast Corps, DK64, and KI Gold were all "huge failures?" Do you have any sales figues versus sales expectations figures ro back that up?

I've read that Jet Force Gemini was a big bomb and I know you can still buy sealed Conker's BFDs and Perfect Darks all over the net, indicating a big overproduction of games. But KI Gold was re-released as a Player's Choice, and you don't see many sealed Blast Corps.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers

[RJ]

Devil May Cry
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Crusaders of Might & Magic (PS)

Just now I got done/quit playing Ape Escape 2 (PS2). It starts out great, very gradual learning curve, tons of easily-gained powerups/rewards, almost too easy for a seasoned gamer, really along the line of a kid's game...

Then BAM! I got over 2/3 through it & was hoping to finish today. The Moon Base stage is SO IMPOSSIBLY FREAKIN' HARD!!! The 5th time I fell off that spinning yellow thing after sliding off those pivoting platforms was enough. I ejected the disc & threw it frisbee-style across the room, then reset the system & deleted the game save w/ EXTREME PREJUDICE. I'll never touch that f'ing game again & I mean it.

It's a shame, too- a fun game up until that point, which ruined it all for me.

[chrisbid]

disappointments as in high expectation/low payoff?

easy

World Series Baseball 2K1

[Ed Oscuro]

Can't really understand the folks tearing apart Blast Corps, Shadows of the Empire (that game has a great deal of depth, really, keeps you occupied for hours, and finding/collecting the Rebel Alliance crests was fun!), and I always chuckle when another liberated soul trashes Goldeneye LOL

Really, once you've tried out Shadow of the Beast, Amiga or Genesis/MD, you'll never complain about a game again. Run left a few screens until you get to a dungeon, traverse it a ways, and then you'll bump up against a hideous sliding boss. I have no idea how you're supposed to beat the damn thing as you apparently need to hit it while it's coming TOWARDS you...but if you hesitate it'll overrun you. Your exit is blocked off and after hitting the thing as many times as you can it'll still just slide into you...you'll die. The whole rest of the game - including the overworld scenes - is pretty much like that, with stuff screaming towards you out of nowhere. I hear that loading times on the Amiga made this game even more aggravating there than it is on the Genesis.

I still like it a little bit, but you really haven't seen disappointing until you've seen that.

Another game, for me, that's rather dissappointing is Castlevania: SotN. First thirty minutes of that game are so boring...ugh. I find many of the older games in that series are too easy; but then SotN is exactly the opposite. It's so easy - and, more importantly, so devoid of tension, neat occurences, and STAIRWAYS - that I really haven't managed to spend more than an hour or so with it. Plus the folks who say the game's soundtrack is the greatest thing ever obviously need to listen to some better music now and then...rather uneven and cliched as it is.

[tritium]

In response to some ofyou guys/gals. I enjoyed
-----
Zelda 2: Adventure of LInk
Sonic Adventure 2
Donkey Kong Country
Devil May Cry
Crazy Taxi 1 and 2
Doom 2
DC RE Games

Games I was REALLY dissappointed with
-----
Myst,
GTA 3 and newer,
Border Down,
Mario Kart : DD
Soul Calibur 2 [PS2 version, I like the GC version]

[Crush Crawfish]

Monster Rancher 4.....I loved 2 and 3, and this looked amazing. Unfortunately, tecmo decided to fix what wasn't broken and screwed it up. And I missed the cel-shading from 3, as it fit the game better.

[AnAngel]

Drakkhen I for the SNES and I can't stand Total Carnage..that game cheats like no other, especially at the end when you have to capture the general.

[Cryomancer]

I see a lot of posts trashing State of Emergency around here, I wonder, did you all play the ps2 version? The xbox one was alright.

[Avenger]

State of Emergency. Potential + GTA3 hype + Shitty Gameplay + Stupid Gameplay + Dull Gameplay = Super Disappointment

The only game I've ever played where I returned the damn thing 2 hours after buying it.

dave

Oh man i couldnt say it ANY better so ill just say

SAME HERE @_@ AND GAMESPOT GAVE IT LIKE 8.5! you know sumone got payed for that...

[Avenger]

sorry had to double post i cant edit that one ^^^

nothing tops my disappintment fir this game here....yea i played Myst and it sucked, DMC2 was shit....but NOTHINg compares to my utter total 100% disapointment for

HALO

i was told it was the greatest thing to ever grace the earth....so why was i falling asleep and wanting to die while playing ever second of that game?

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

psst

2600 Pac Man

[esquire]

I'll second that on ET for the Atari 2600.

For the PC, my nomination would go to Daikatana and Trespasser. I expected a lot out of both of those games and was extremely disappointed in both.

For the PSX, I'll say Warriors of Might and Magic & Crusaders of Might and Magic. I loved the PC RPG and Turn Based strategy games from this genre, but these action games just plained sucked.

For the Dreamcast, it's got to be Shenmue. There was so much hype to that game that I was expecting an instant classic. I was utterly bored with that game.

[Wavelflack]

Sonic R. The game looked great, and the music was nice (the vox didn't bug me), but it's so damned difficult to control.

I wanted to like it. I really really did.

[VG_Maniac]

Super Mario Sunshine. I know it wasn't really a bad game, but it didn't even come close to living up to Super Mario 64. All the areas looked the same (tropical island themed), and I didn't like the whole water squirter deal. I'm still waiting for a worthy sequal to SM64.

I also was HIGHLY dissapointed by Blaster Master 2 on the Genesis. I waited a very long time for a Blaster Master sequal, and when I heard there was a 16-bit Blaster Master on the Genesis, I was thrilled. So I went out and rented it. Man, was I so let down. The game just sucked. The gameplay was horrible, the music was very obnoxious sounding. What a crapper.

[evildead2099]

I, like a few others, strongly disagree re:Tennis 2K2, Sonic Adventure 2, RE: Code Veronica, and (ESPECIALLY!) Zelda II being categorized as disappointing.

Here are the games that I consider most disappointing:

Daikatana (I gave it too much benefit of the doubt when I played it, and still found myself very disappointed)

Pokemon Pinball

Halo 2 (The first one is great, however)

Red Faction 2 (NOTE: when I first started playing this game, I was impressed with its multiplayer aspect but VERY, VERY disappointed with its single player aspect - especially since I had high expectations based on how amazing Red Faction 1's single player aspect is. I eventually came to appreciate Red Faction 2's single-player mode after I forced myself to beat it, but I definately consider it an aquired taste)

[Quackaddict]

Wow. I was thinking State of Emergency before I even clicked on this thread. This biggest waste of $49.99 I've ever spent.

On top of this...I can't believe that they are releasing "State of Emergency 2!"

http://www.gamefaqs.com/search/index.html?game=state+of+emergency

[unbroken]

Doom 3 was pretty big let down for me.

[Roi]

Wow I read some games here I really enjoyed!

Most dissapointing for my was Starfox Adventure, man I thought Rare had made a great game as a goodbye to all the fans :'( (If Rare was still developing for the Cube I'm sure the sales of there games will be much higher.)

[Ridley30]

Lots of Rare hatin' going on here. I, for one, loved the crap out of Starfox Adventures. Biggest letdown? Tales of Symphonia. So SLOW!

[Jumpman Jr.]

A bunch come to mind, but there not really a complete 'let-down.'
For instance, when Super Mario World 2 (Yoshi's Story) came out, I was hoping/expecting a simialr game to Super Mario World. That didn't happen, and I was pretty dissapointed. However, it was still a fun-as-hell game.
Same goes for Sunshine.

[§ Gideon §]

^ Woah. That's pretty much exactly how I should respond.

[albailey]

Action 52 for NES.

I bought it (thankfully I did not buy it when it came out), brought it home, put it in the NES and tried every single game on it .
Took it back out of the NES, and put it back in the box. I will never try and play that cart again.

[Snapple]

It's a cliche answer, but Final Fantasy 8.

Some people were disappointed the direction the series took starting with 7, although I still don't know why. For me, I really didn't like FF8. It's the first and only Final Fantasy game that I never really found anything good to say about it. Even FFX-2, while clearly a pretty shallow game, and one with minimal programming involved, given how much they just copied and pasted from FFX, had SOME good in it. But not FF8, not for me.

I know people out there disagree, and that's fine. I have no qualms if people like FF8. It was a huge, huge letdown for me personally though, at the time it was released.

[linlhutz]

Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road (NES)

My brother and I loved the first game (Co-op rocks!) and waited, very impatiently, for the sequel to arrive on the NES.

..eh...whats with the ugly repetitive levels? WHY are these shops here? Mini-games with loading time??!!!

Yuck. Turns my stomach just thinking about how much allowance money we wasted on that.



That and Ultima IX. I might dust that off and see if the Gaming Rig I just built up can play it at full speed.

[googlefest1]

2600: pac man ( but i enjoyed it immensely)

2600: donkey kong 2 or jr dont remember which one it is)

nes: Zelda (to this day i don't get the hype )

nes: ninja gaiden (a great and fun game but was diapointed it was nothing like the arcade)

nes: metroid (i was and still get board playing it -- the comercials were alot more fun looking -- im not saying it was a bad game just a let down for me because of the expectation i had)

nes: wizards and warriors - i think im thinking of the right game

master system - alien syndrome ( my excitement for the game totaly droped after seeing the arcade)

N64: Goldeneye

psx: dino crisis and resident evil games (the control brings the otherwise great games down to a lower level

saturn: 3 dirty dwarfs - i just felt WTF is this - i just couldt get into it - although i play it once in a blue moon

rise of the robots - on all systems - played them all starting with PC

PC: starcontrol 3
PC: comand an conqeror tiberian sun - i waited and waited for this game after seeing the trailer for it upon beating the first game in this series - big disapointment for me

[Rob of the Sky]

Metroid Prime 2 seemed like a dissapointment to me. The first Metroid Prime was a wonderful game. There was a lot of exploration and discovery to done in MP. While these elements were in MP2, they seemed to be overshadowed by the enemies in MP2. The enemies in MP2 must've been on steroids or something, because it takes two fully charged shots to kill the easiest enemy. I also didn't like how MP2 was so much darker than MP. It was like Retro Studios tried to make MP2 a Halo clone or something.

Another game that was disapointing was Zelda: Majora's Mask. I enjoyed Ocarina of Time. OoT was perhaps the best game I've ever played. So, I thought that Majora's Mask would be better than that. However, Majora's Mask had a very boring begining, and the three day thing was fustrating. I always becan each three day cycle getting all of the ammo that I lost going back in time.

[cyberfluxor]

The Adventures of Mighty Max (GEN)

When I was venturing through the pawn shop and saw this game in the bucket of $1 games, I was thinking it would be an awesome game if it were like the show! I never knew they made a game after the show, so thinking to myself it'd be a moving mystical adventure well done. Well, all was good except the "well done" part. Just playing it a few minutes was a letdown. Bummer.

[Richter Belmount]

i wouldnt say most disappointing game ever , but i wasnt entirely imperessed by doom 64 That game was hyped on my mind for such a long time but the game wasnt as cool as quake when i finally played it , but i did play the pc conversion and much more kickass.

[Xizer]

Most disappointing? Shenmue. Everyone raved about how it was the best thing since sliced bread - that game was boring as hell. The whole game is just wandering around lost, talking to people and having strange conversations until you finally find the right person. Then you have to find someone else and talk to them, and so on.

FYI: Donkey Kong 64 and Star Fox Adventures kicked ass.

DK64 was a massive adventure which was fun for pretty much the whole 50+ hours it took to collect everything. Star Fox Adventures was a good adventure too, although on the short side.

[Damaniel]

For me, the most disappointing game was Lord of the Rings, Volume 1 for the SNES. Being a fan of the books, I waited for that game for years -- pretty much from when Nintendo Power first mentioned that the game was in development -- and I recall that it kept on getting delayed. I wanted that game more than just about any other at the time. Once it came out and I had a chance to play it, I realized that it sucked. *Really* sucked. Never since have I been disappointed with a game as much as that one.

[Psycho Penguin]

Final Fantasy X-2. I loved the first one, but the sequel was totally unneeded. Plus, the music and storyline were ABYSMAL to the point that I skipped scenes and pushed the mute button on more than ten different occasions. The mission based system was ass, and the characters were annoying as hell. This game really let me down.

FF8 and legend of Dragoon are other games that really let me down, as well as Metroid 2 and Link's Awakening for the Game Boy.

[Richter Belmount]

new super mario bros. :bawling: too much of cakewalk for me I rather stick with super mario bros. 2 japan

[GuitarHero73]

Hello everyone new to this board figured I would throw in my 2 cents on this subject

Atari 2600 E T

Nintendo Castlevania II I thought the first one was classic the 2nd one was a weak follow up although part III was great

[Ruudos]

I don't know of any game that was really a huge disappointment to me. Zoda's Revenge could have been better, but there's plenty of games that could have been better.

[FrakAttack]

Soul Reaver, but only because there was so much build up beforehand. Not necessarily a bad game, but they hyped it for like 2 years before release, so by the time I finally got to play it it was kinda like "meh."

[Trevelyan]

Personally I found Hitman 2: Silent Assassin on the PC disappointing. I never played the original but I remember that it and its sequel had alot of hype. I purchased Hitman 2: Silent Assassin along with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast in a 3 for £20 offer. The latter two i've since played and completed and love, but i never took to Hitman. I was a big fan of the Thief series of games which I felt overshadowed (no pun intended) my experience with Hitman completely. I'm sure i'll give it another go one day:?.

I bought a dreaded third party expansion pack for my N64 which made playing Perfect Dark a living hell cos it would crash after about 45mins:bad-words:.

Another honourable mention is the 1988 Tiger, Sonic the Hedgehog handheld game. I got it for my birthday in around 1991, i'd be 7 or 8. I got so excited thinking it would have game gear graphics, it didn't:sob:.

[Volcanon]

Master of Orion 3. It was the last game I ever paid full retail for. Now I buy everything used or online. MoO2 was such a great game and I had fun playing it multiplayer, I buy MoO3 and what does it have? Almost no multiplayer support (3 months after release and there were a grand total of ZERO people in the room during a Saturday afternoon) and the entire game sucks.

[G-Boobie]

Castelvania 64 and Castlevania Legacy of Darkness. Those games were utter crap.

[Dreamc@sting]

Theres been quite a few of these I've come across in my lifetime...but most dissapointing of all time for me...Virtua Fighter...im not going to lie. I love fighting games, some of my favorites are the original Mortal Kombats, Soul Caliber, Street Fighterm, King of Fighters, Darkstalkers...but one series I cannot get into is Virtua Fighter..I wanted to like this series so badly..I couldnt enjoy the original, nor the saturn version. I tried the PS2 version and I refuse to spend money on the PS3 version.

[GnawRadar]

Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus - One of my favorite video game characters thrown into a meaningless 3rd person shooter.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories - A disappointing and shallow card game version of Kingdom Hearts for the GBA. You could just hit A over and over and beat the game.

Suikoden III - I never played any other of the series but had heard how great the first two were and this one just seemed boring and never ending.

[RASTAN]

In all honesty, with as much as I love the first game (though I still own part 2), I didn't like the finished product that was MAX PAYNE II: The Fall of Max Payne. I loved the idea of a tragic love story in the film noir fashion gone overboard, but it was a concept best left that... a concept. It didn't really work very well as a video game. It bounced around (the pacing) too much, and I felt like I was merely playing disjointed fever memories from any number of my worst nightmares met with my most xXx sexual dreams, trapped in a world where John Woo was GOD, and I was forced to use a ROMAK-3 PSL (Romanian clone) sniper rifle, instead of the proper Russian made SVD Dragunov... even though the game says it's a Dragunov. HA!

Thus the flow of Max Payne #1 was a lot better, and I felt was handled much better as well, in spite of all the delays that first outing had. I understand that MAX PAYNE 2 didn't sell the way the makers and publishers had hoped for, so it's doubtful us fans of the franchise will ever see a part III. And if so, I hope they drop the whole "Film Noir Love Story" thing. It works for movies and novels, not for video games. I honestly enjoyed Total Overdose both as a video game over MP2 and what Once Upon A Time In Mexico should've been for a proper ending to the El Mariachi trilogy of movies.

[vintagegamecrazy]

DK64 and Starfox Adventures were busts too. I have to say that the biggest letdown for me was Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. Man did that game suck hard.

Final Fantasy X-2
OMG i was sad after i beat it lol it was hard as hell to get into and the fighting style was not what i was used to in the final fantasy series. and i hated the level up feature. they should have did the sphere grid like X.

IMO this is the most disappointing.

[DJ Daishi]

Bujingai for the ps2...worst ending ever put into a game!!!

[Cinder6]

Bujingai for the ps2...worst ending ever put into a game!!!

I don't know... I've never played that game, but Chrono Cross had the most abysmally-disappointing ending to any video game I've ever played. I was furious that I stayed up late on a school night to beat it; I wish I never did beat it, in fact (and yes, I got the "good" ending that requires Element trickery).

[Ajax]

FF XII this game was going to be the game to get people out of their MMORPG perversion and back to the classic single player RPG. This game was so disappointing I didn't Finnish it nor have I even watched the DVD that came with my special edition of the game.

[Coleman]

I'm thinking AD&D heroes of the lance. Loved the gold box series - loved the novels... but um... WTF

[Famidrive-16]

Kirby's Air Ride for the Gamecube really disappointed me. The controls were real awkward and the game was just too weird all around. It looked so good on the 64, too.

I thought Ico was a bit overhyped. I liked it but nowhere as much as the people who praised it for years after it's release.

And if we're talking about bad endings, Pac-In-Time's ending really sucked.

[Life of Brian]

Metal Gear. All of them. I bought Sons of Liberty, played it once, and haven't given it a go since.

[DJ Daishi]

Metal Gear. All of them. I bought Sons of Liberty, played it once, and haven't given it a go since.

:shameful:

[MachineGex]

I would have to say Perfect Dark is high on my list. I played Goldeneye with my friends almost every day for two years. We were really longing to play Perfect Dark, but after a 2-3 year wait, we all had just moved on.

Perfect Dark was the most anticipated game I ever wanted to play. Yet, by the time it came out, I never bought it or even played it. That is what happens when you push a game back so many times, you lose most players.

[tag274]

Few dissapointments ive had:

1) Anything on the Odyssey 2
2) Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (PSX)
3) Most pack in games lol

[Greg2600]

For me personally:
Baseball Stars 2 (NES), which lacked the create a player feature.
Toe Jam and Earl 2 (GEN), what on Earth was this supposed to be?
Rush 2049 (N64), expecting Midway to follow up Rush 2 with more tracks modeled amazingly well from real cities, instead getting a load of crud.
Perfect Dark (N64) was a disappointment, because it was no longer a Bond game.

[FrakAttack]

[Drakon]

ff7 was my biggest disappointment. I realize so many people love it. But I hate it. And I had been left in awe by ff6....so I got super hyped for absolutely nothing.

[Volcanon]

Final Fantasy 7 (its not -that- bad. but not as good as the snes games or 3j)
Master of Orion 3 (utter poo)
Super Robot Wars MX (so easy you could play it blind. plays too slowly too)
Super Robot Wars J (too easy)

[jb143]

For me it was probally Zelda 2. I'm sure it's a good game in it's own right but it's un-zeldaness killed it for me and I never really gave it a second chance.



1) Anything on the Odyssey 2

It's becasue of all those !'s isn't it?

[mercarian]

Simons quest (not terrible in its own, yet not as good as 1 and 3)
FF8- Just couldn't force myself into the game
Mario Galaxies- I really enjoyed Sunshine, yet can't really get into this game.

The above games aren't bad, but I was really bored with them. And there all based on good series.

[jedimind7]

One game that comes to mind for me is State of Emergency. Talk about a terrible game. I thought at worst it would be decent since Rockstar was doing it. Gamespot also had the nerve to give this game like an 8.5. I played it literally for 20 minutes and never played it again. Good thing I rented it first.

[thedeityofhardcore]

If I paid over $80 for a single game chances are it disapointed me.

DJ Max on PSP for one

[Kid Dracula]

Donkey Kong 64. Apparently some people are bashing the DK Country Series but I was a huge fan of them. I was so enormously disappointed with the game that I just gave up. Which was something I had never really done with any video game I had ever owned. Yes, there were nes games I owned when I was younger that I coudn't complete, but I would still play them every now and again. After more than half way through DK 64 I just couldn't handle any more monotonous 'quest's and just stopped. My brother finished the game and told me it was OK but didn't get much better. It's not like it was even a terrible game, I just didn't like the direction the series took.

Luigi's Mansion. This was the Mario sequel we got?!?! After Mario 64, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario World, Mario 3, Mario 2 and Mario 1?? Not to mention all of the great side games.That game somehow turned me off video games for a good 4 years between 2001-2005

[Arcade_Ness]

Ok here's my list:

FF 12-Went to get at the midnight launch. I put a few hours into it and just didn't care for the story at all.

Ghoul Patrol(SNES)-There should never of been a sequel to ZAMN. It would've never lived up to the greatness of the original. I just didn't like the attempt at giving the game a new direction and pathetic story.

Soul Calibur 4(PS3)-I loved the second game to death, the third game was decent, but I just got bored with the new one. The story mode was weak and there was less of the extras in previous incarnations. On top of that they made Cassandra serious, instead of being a goofy girl who taunts her opponents. I'm not going to even mention the ridiculousness of Ivy's character design getting worse as the series progresses.

Twisted Metal 3-4: They were watered down and bland entries in the series. Though it was done by a different design team so it's understandable.

The Matrix(PS2): I was really looking forward to this after all the hype. I picked up after watching Reloaded, of which I enjoyed for the most part. It just wasn't able to deliver the great experience I had thought was in store.

[k8track]

Most definitely Metroid Fusion. I finally got around to playing it several months ago, and had been enjoying it immensely. I thought there were too many bosses (some of which were way too tough), but other than that, I was really digging the exploration and acquisition, as I do in all Metroid games. I realized that it was very linear throughout the game; still, I was looking forward to going back and exploring everything and finding things I had missed after I had gotten the final weapon and was fully powered, as you can freely do in Super Metroid.

I was wrong. After I was fully powered and was ready to go back and do some exploring, all six habitat areas were permanently closed off. I mean, that's what I had really been looking forward to the entire game. At that point, you were forced to go back into the main part of the station and battle the SA-X (the "evil" Samus). When I finally came to that realization, I felt so gypped; I didn't even bother and switched it off.

[Nebagram]

Sonic on the Xbox 360. HOLY crap, now that's a lesson in how to turn a steady decline in quality into a freefall. :-(

[retro junkie]

Final Fantasy 7- I just couldn't get iinto it. I tried several times.
Perfect Dark for the N64- The frame rate is so bad it gave me motion sickness.

[Dr.Choices]

Unreal 2, i loved the first unreal, played it to death on the won.net co-op servers. Legend made a right hash of the sequel.

[BHvrd]

Sonic on the Xbox 360. HOLY crap, now that's a lesson in how to turn a steady decline in quality into a freefall. :-(

Yeah, without a parachute at that or erm, snowboard...yeah.

[Smashed Brother]

Tekken 4

I actually obtained the secret tape recording of the concept meeting for this game from Namco. Here's how it played out:

Executive: "Johnson, Tekken 3 was a huge improvement for the series and a major financial success. How should we follow that up?"

Johnson: "Uhhhh....let's cut the game speed in half, sir, and, uhhhh, let's have the players fight in exciting environments such as a shopping mall and an airport tarmac..."

Executive: "Excellent, Johnson. Have it on my desk by morning."

Creepy Janitor with a comb-over: "Heh. It'd be cool if Heihachi wore a diaper! Heh!"

[Xander]

There is a few, but I had one happening 2 weeks ago: Toejam & Earl.

A few of my friends and I are into retrogaming, we usually try to find good co-op games we missed when we were kids and play the hell out of them on weekends.

With the reviews found around the web regarding Toejam & Earl, we were expecting something really great. Holy shit we were disappointed. What a boring game.

[Verdadero Pecado Mark IV]

DK64- was basically a walk in the park. I mean the SNES games was far more challenging and made more sense. While the game is massive in it's own right.
I mean where do they get off making Zingers drop water bombs on you?

[Sabz5150]

Master of Orion 3. I'm a HUUUUUUUUUUGE fan of the first two, and I was in line the day MOO3 came out.

Biggest. Disappointment. EVER. Classic case of too many cooks.

[SegaAges]

WoW

don't flame, i don't like the game.

it was way too overhyped and is still way too overhyped for a mmo. there are some very good mmos out there much better than wow that get forgotten because somehow wow not only got overhyped, but it is out and still gets overhyped.

Case in Point:
People that stop playing WoW, stop playing WoW.

Other mmo's that have been out for forever and a day, people just play them on the weekends or whatever.

I got a buddy that still plays lineage 2. Hell, I got a friend that still plays EQ1.

WoW is still young, and since people do not realize that, they will get a good smack in the face when another mmo dethrones it.

the game is so f'ing overhyped that people become blind to that fact (see, I was ranting for a reason).

Wow was innovative, it's better than most MMORPG out there.

I have a fairly lengthy MMO background. I played UO, EQ, T4C, DAoC, Lineage 2, AO and FFXI. And I am no Blizzard fanboy either.

From all the game I played, WoW was by far one of the most finished product on the market. It is also the only MMORPG which successfully appealed to both casual and hardcore players.

You are entitled to your opinion, no arguing with that. But I do think WoW is objectively one of the very best of its kind.

Oh and it's definitely not true that "People that stop playing WoW, stop playing WoW." I generally play for like a year then stop for 6 months, and go at it again. Almost everyone I met online in the game stopped for several months at some point and came back later.

[sebastiankirchoff]

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles- The mansion level was awesome, but the other levels just sucked. Collecting the papers is close to impossible since the camera moves so fast (I know its a "On Rails" shooter, but why did they include documents to collect?). I am a huge RE fan and have been since 1999, but this game just dissapointed the hell out of me.

Halo 2 and 3- I don't want to offend people, but these games just didn't do it for me. Halo 1 was a decent game, but its sequels dissapointed me greatly.

PSP- Not a game, but still dissapointing. I was expecting this system to be great, and got it a couple of weeks after release after seeing my uncle play it. The games were too complex for portable play IMO and I should have gotten a DS. Even though it can play movies and you can surf the internet, I would rather watch a movie on a television and surf the internet on a computer, both of which are far superior to the PSP's abilities.

So yah, sorry if I offended anybody, but that is what I feel to be pretty dissapointing.

[Draven]

I can't remember what game it was, but it was on the NES. After beating it (seems like it was pretty challenging) it said "CONGRATUATION!" They couldn't even bother spelling it right! Total disappointment.

[WhatsMyUsername]

Yoshi's Island DS.

I LOVE Yoshi's Island and have played it to death beating it over 15 times (yet to do a 100% complete though =/). So when this came out I was extremely excited, i dknow what it was but something about it was disappointing. I think it had to do with all the gimmicks with different babies.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts

I love the Banjo games and have been excitedly waiting for the next game to come out. Now it looks like it could be a good game but it's not like the original 2 at all which bugs me.

[Famidrive-16]

If I could've just played as Peach the whole time without changing it would've been a lot better in my book.

[slip81]

Easily Midnight Club: Los Angeles for me. I'm a big fan of the MC games, and just all racing games in general, and I wanted this game like burning the minute it was announced, but I'm damn glad I rented it first. It is just way too hard, or rather, the difficulty is too random. For those who don't know, ther are 4 difficulty levels, green, yellow orange and red, green being the simplest. Now, for some reason the game scales the difficulty on story based races, meaning you could, albiet not easilty, win a red labeled freeway race with a car that's not totally up to snuff, but, still have a bitch of a time winning a yellow story race with a top level tuner with all modifications.

The AI in story races is just too good, and thus your driving in return has to be perfect in the races, and I'm not kidding. In some races if you do so much as even just take a turn too wide, they all blow past you and that's it, you're not catching up.

[darkslime]

Final Fantasy XII

I bought the collector's edition on release day. The battle system was terrible and the story was uninteresting.

[nintendoeats]

pokemon Colloseum. Only game that I ever pre-ordered. it sucked. damn.:frustrated:

runner up is Halo. which makes Halo 2 most surprisingly good game ever.

[Draven]

Myst and Taboo: The Sixth Sense are pretty high on the list of horrible games.

[The 1 2 P]

Hmmm....playing 7 hours straight to beat Loaded on the PS1 yielded very little to celebrate. If I recall correctly, there was a weak ass 6 second cut scene that played. Then the credits rolled. The Incredible Hulk, Spawn and The Crow City of Angels were all dissapointments as well, especially the Crow. So let me get this straight....I'm a walking undead badass that can't actually reach my enemies without being shot so many times that I lose two lives in the process? Thank Paul for cheat codes.

[CBXweb]

Sonic Jam on Saturn. Wow, thanks for the 3D stage reminding me of what maybe could of been, even though it was very sluggish, and weird versions of the 16 Bit games.

Sonic Advenutre 2. I preordered it. Went to pick it up when I had a fever, and it was just.. ugh. I did not want to walk around as a stupid robot or search for emerald chards. Plus Shadow is a windbag.

[sidnotcrazy]

Biggest letdown...for me that would have to be Actraiser 2 for the snes. The first game was mindblowing. The second was a dumbed down side scroller that was way to difficult. I wanted to like it, but just couldn't.

[Natty Bumppo]

For me it has to be Master of Monsters for the ps - the genesis game was marvelous and the ps one was a pile of festering maggots IMHO. They ruined pretty much everything about it - improved graphics was about all it had.

[TheGam3r]

I can't remember what game it was, but it was on the NES. After beating it (seems like it was pretty challenging) it said "CONGRATUATION!" They couldn't even bother spelling it right! Total disappointment.

The game you are talking about is: Ghostbusters (NES)

[CreamSoda]

-State of Emergency(PS2)

I love GTA, I love Midnight Club, as well as most of Rockstar's other franchises... With that said, SoE is one of the worst PS2 games I have ever played! I was pretty interested in the game, being a R* fan and all. I thought to myself "no worry's" and I picked up a copy from the discount bin for $5. And I was still dissapointed, terrible/mindless gameplay, super repetitive missions, levels were very linear, lack of anything really interesting. Even playing with the cheat codes on, I got maybe a half an hour or enjoyment out of this. And I usually enjoy cheesy action games(I even thought NARC(PS2) was ok).

-DRIV3R(PS2)

I loved the Driver series back in the day, and I still think that Driver was one of the best games on the PS1. I was dumb enough to pay full price for DRIV3R, back in 2004. And while D3 was a decent game, it had nothing on the first two games. Overall I got some decent enjoyment out of the game, but once GTA:SA came out I never touched DRIV3R again. :(

-Super Mario Sunshine(GCN)

What a shame, after the incredible Super Mario 64 we get this?! I could go on forever, about why I was dissapointed in SMS, but I will keep it short and just say this: The whole water pack idea, while original, was a total waste of time.

-Luigi's Mansion(GCN)

See above, only replace water pack with vacuume(sp?)

-True Crime: Streets of LA(PS2)

I was pretty hyped for this one as well, after the mega success of GTA3, needless to say I think we were all dissapointed in Nick Kang and the rest of TC:SoL.

I could continue, but these are some of the biggest letdowns that I've had in the past generation of gaming. :( :( :(

[PentiumMMX]

Here's a few for me:

- Glover (N64)
I remember reading about this online and being excited about it (The whole concept of playing as a giant animated glove was unique), but the place I rented games at never had a copy avaliable to rent until 2 years after it's release. The game was a total letdown; the controls where confusing on top of the game's unforgiving difficulty made me regret renting this (Thankfully, I didn't actually buy it at full price).

- Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2)
I remember reading about people making Disgaea out to be the single greatest game ever made, and when I finally got to play it, I was left with a feeling of "When is this supposed to start getting interesting?". I sold my copy not long after.

- Diddy Kong Racing DS (DS)
One picture and an announcement that they are remaking Diddy Kong Racing (One of my favorite games of all time) was all it took for me to be hyped up 20x more than any Halo fan was over the 3rd installment in their series. Needless to say, the game was the single biggest letdown ever; everything was half-assed right down to the horrible remixed soundtrack. The only redeeming factor was that the 4 new tracks where actually fun, but that was it.

[retrocollectorguy]

Top 5 dissapointments:

5- Bubble Bobble (NES) - boring boring boring.
4- Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (Wii) - not even worth the $7 I paid for it new. I found it the least innovative racing game ive played since Cruisin USA.
3- Luigi's Mansion (Gamecube) - argueably the worst release title ive ever played.
2- GTA: Vice City (PS2) - complete dissapointment after GTA III. Small worlds. Quircky gameplay. Easy as hell missions. Just trash.
1- Yoshi's Story (N64) - can any game look gayer then this one? I felt so embarrassed to ask for it when it was released and had to have someone else buy it for me. It was the biggest let down ive had after an epic prequel in the series.

We must have completely different opinions since I really liked 4 of those games.

My biggest let down has to be Wind Waker. I just could never get into it. The boring sailing had a lot to do with it. I've never finished, but I got pretty far. Maybe I'll finish it someday.

[jb143]

We must have completely different opinions since I really liked 4 of those games.


Same here. To each his own I guess...

My biggest letdown from a game was probally Back to the Future2/3 for the NES. It wasn't all bad, just not what I was expecting at all. I frustratingly played through it because I KNEW that part 3 had to be better, but nope, more of the same...only harder.

If you're embarrassed to ask for a colourful game, I personally wouldn't blame the game...

[retrocollectorguy]

well im sorry. This was supposed to be a dissapointments thread not the worst games of all time thread. I just felt letdown with each of those games as the prequels were all so much better. Usually the Final Fantasy VII haters get bashed...

[Game Freak]

i honestly loved luigi's mansion :\ and WW's impressive soundtrack makes me tolerable of the endless sailing :)

The two games that were complete letdowns for me were Pokemon Diamond and Phantom Hourglass. Diamond, they completely messed up the graphics. It would have been much better if they bothered to make the battles 3D and the map 2d, and PH was just way too short and going through the same dungeon a billion times was terrible. Also, the few battles that made use of both screens barely made up for these shortcomings considering I have a DS phat, which made it kind of hard to play.

[Therealqtip]

I really liked Luigi's Mansion not so sure why it gets so much hate, maybe it was cause I was young when I played it. but LoZ Wind Waker one thing: Boat Ride=20 minutes not my idea of fun but I think there was a teleporting system which I finally got and still found more problems just couldn't get into it like Ocarina of Time

[garagesaleking!!]

when i was kid, the first 2 new games i ever bought were rampage total destruction for game boy, and ready to rumble boxing for n64, i hated both of them and they were dissapointing for me

[Chemdawg]

final fanasty x, it was the first FF game I really ever gave a shot. My friend was a huge fan and told me i was crazy for not having played a FF yet. so I got FF X new expecting it to be amazing, it looked pretty but man i just didn't like it. Now the game wasn't bad, just not for me.... at all. I'm not gonnago on and hate on the series, I can see why people like it, but it just for me.

[sonic-boom]

Mario Kart Wii, I preordered it and I found it so unfair the minute I started playing. I should have waited for the reviews. I can't use the Wii Wheel for any other game and it's just a piece of plastic.

[hellfire]

resident evil 5, I beat the game and liked it. I started playing it again and hated it!!!

[Baloo]

Sonic Jam on Saturn. Wow, thanks for the 3D stage reminding me of what maybe could of been, even though it was very sluggish, and weird versions of the 16 Bit games.

Totally agree with you there. When I got this game inside a loose Saturn for $8 I expected more, but instead got a real disappointment. Iffy sound and graphics for the 16-bit games, and a useless 3D world that acted as a map.

[Sonicwolf]

Mario Kart Wii, I preordered it and I found it so unfair the minute I started playing. I should have waited for the reviews. I can't use the Wii Wheel for any other game and it's just a piece of plastic.

If you want unfair, try Mario Kart 64 with the highest engine class. Doesnt matter how far ahead you get, the enemies get a magical speed boost until the catch up.

[The 1 2 P]

This is a very hard question for me to answer. The ending of Halo 2 was disappointing because....um, there was no ending. But the multiplayer more than made up for it. And the Star Destroyer section of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was the single most disappointing piece of gameplay I have ever took part in. What the fuck where they thinking? The rest of the game was great though. So I don't have any single disappointing games all around, just disappointing moments.

[j1e]

By far, my biggest disappointment would have to be GTA IV. I bought the 360 solely for this game almost a year before the game came out. I put quite a bit of time into it and finally said fuggit. I guess I was expecting more of the same in the likes of San Andreas. I haven't played my 360 since then. In fact, I boxed it back up and prepared to sell it but never did. Maybe a game will come out that'll make me open it up again someday.
