Which Video Games let you down?

[SuperSoldier985]

I also was very let down by MvC3. I haven't played UMvC3 yet, but after the countless hours I've spent with the first two in the series, the third just didn't do it for me.

L.A. Noire. I know it isn't supposed to be GTA, but maybe it should have been. It already started going into that realm but they stopped halfway and it made the game feel forced. The gun sections were put in just to calm the action fan, but it wasn't fun. The city was there just to fit with Rockstar's past games, but it was boring and waaaaay too long. And the driving was just...terrible. I mean, not everything was bad. I appreciated the new take on adventure gaming and I did dig the graphics and atmosphere, but the problems above combined with a less than satisfactory ending to a back-seat story equals one of my biggest wastes of 60 bucks.

LittleBigPlanet..

I just couldn't get into it and I didn't really ever have fun playing it. After 3 hours, I just couldn't possibly see myself finding any reason to keep playing.

This is one thing I can't say let me down, I played a little of it and didn't feel like playing more, before seeing it the popular game

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Deus Ex Human Revolution. The worst AI I have seen in a game. Just awful. It should not have left the office premises. Skyrim is another over-hyped, over-rated game. The first impression is good but then you see the game balance is completely broken, the game is unstable and it's full of exploits. I went back to playing Shogun 2, because thats a much better game. Really good. Battlefield 3 is another one. Gave into the hype, upgraded. Expected heaven. Game is garbage. Single player is bad COD knockoff (which itself is bad). And Multiplayer is about unlocking stuff than team work. Went back to Team Fortress 2. Wonderful game.

Devil May Cry 4

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Devil May Cry 4

I bought that off steam a few months ago and hadn't a clue what was going on. It didn't even seem to explain the characters names and that was after playing about 2-3 hours of it.
Not a dicky bird what was going on.

Only thing disappointing me about this game is not being able to play it

Some stuff get explained later in some stories, it may happen here.
It's not a mystery that made me clutch to my seat, the thing with his hell-iness and his secret empire was anticipated, that's all I say about the story

Mortal Kombat vs DC (more because there was no dlc rather then the game itself) , Dead Rising, Bioshock, Halo Wars, Halo Reach (online multiplayer) , The force unleashed 2

Bioshock

Ok, who keeps letting these Skrulls into our forums?

Lol, just kidding.t: But in all seriousness, why do you think Bioshock was a letdown? It's a great game!

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Bioshock is basically a watered down System Shock 2. The only real challange is the big daddy. Which ends up being pretty repetitive. Bioshock 2 was a better game, it fixed many of Bioshock 2's problems. Far better gameplay. imo.

Fair enough, though I felt the story in Bioshock 1 was better than Bioshock 2's. Hopefully, Bioshock Infinite will have an excellent story and great gameplay. From what I've seen so far, that seems like that'll be the case this time!

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

On paper, yea the the story was better. But I found Bioshock 2's story moving.

Big Daddies weren't at all challenging once you figured out that electricity totally cripples them.

I just couldnt get into the gameplay really. Not saying the game was bad, i just didnt get into it

I was playing on the highest diffculty because the game is so easy.
It either becomes a case of everything being too easy, or getting some challange out of killing a big daddy and everything else being easy. When I played system shock 2 prior, that game was hard. It constantly felt like a loosing battle. Some people may not like that but in the context of a horror game, it works to it's advantage.

 

[Superhero 101]

Crysis 2
I thought it was just a mediocre game with really good graphics. The Story seemed very typical.

Mortal Kombat vs DC (more because there was no dlc rather then the game itself) , Dead Rising, Bioshock, Halo Wars, Halo Reach (online multiplayer) , The force unleashed 2

Didn't play DR game 1, the second game (first edition, with Chuck) let me down

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows.

Sure, it's an Activision game so it shouldn't have been a surprise that it turned out bad (I mean, terrible). But for this game, I had some hopes. Some of the trailers for this game were pretty epic! And the Vulture boss fight looked awesome! Then I bought the game. Then I played the game. Then I realised how stupid I was.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows - This game was a total letdown, the videos served their purpose and really made this game look great, upon playing it, hot mess.

This is the first Spider-Man game after the PS1 games I looked forward to play, I was let down by it as well

For someone who declared hate for it I play it a lot, it's still a great disappointment, but I kinda like it now, specifically mechanics (but for a guy who flies high leaving the web-line dude sure needed a higher jump. Two stories up is the most charge? Really?) and color palette

Story still is crap, variety of things to do is disappointing, but liked the voice acting since the start, only performance I dislike is X-Men:TAS reject Kingpin, that dude sounds a lot better as Venom (PS1 game) than he does Kingpin, at least he had a good voice direction in the early game

 

[Spidey-Bat]

LittleBigPlanet- The concept is great and I wanted to like it, but I could never get into it.

Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks- First Zelda game that I became bored with. It became a chore to play and I stopped.

Enslaved- I usually enjoy any decent action game, but for some reason I just found this utterly boring to play. There were also a lot of audio bugs.

Heavy Rain- Interesting concept, but too much crap filler (especially the beginning) and the plot twist was utterly stupid. It's the first game I couldn't wait to get rid of the minute I finished it.

RE5- I didn't hate it, but RE4 was just much better. I didn't like the inventory system, I felt the attache case was better. There was too much shooter action that was more like Gears or Uncharted than what was in RE4.

Crackdown 2- I LOVED Crackdown 1, but 2 was just a crappy expansion pack.

Batman Arkham Asylum: I love it, but it's nothing new, it just copy + paste ideas, nothing creative or new, not that it's a bad thing, else I wouldn't have a PS3 to play with =p. How people made it sound like a masterpiece in being creative and the first comic book game worth drooling on and it's so engaging and not repetitive "GAA GAAAA" stuff , half of what there is to do is beat the same face and his clones (I'm not one to complain about repeated faces, but -you know- IGN and their blah comments.....) head on. Strategic combat my foot

Thing is good as a game, great as an introduction and a prologue to Arkham City (a masterpiece), but it is the last straw to say I should NEVER take anyone's opinion seriously when it comes to comic book games (cause as controversial as my opinions are, I try to make sense of the nonsense I keep seeing from general public who say they can't take me seriously) outside calling Arkham City the greatest comic book game

 

[Sundancer]

Mortal Kombat vs DC (more because there was no dlc rather then the game itself)

Oh snap! I didnt' mind the lack dlc but the broken combat play (Superman/Jax) ruined it for me.

I agree. Well sort of. For one thing, there are good comic book games. Like Freedom Force which is excellent and up until Arkham City was probably the best comic book game. I would gander you (and probably everyone else) never played it. The repeated titan guys did smack of a lack creativity. Thankfully, Arkham City is a much more varied game. The other problem was Arkham Asylum done a terrible job of introducing you to it's world. You are just chucked in during the middle of it. Doesn't work for me. Arkham City had me interested in what was going on from the get go. It felt alot more personal with an interesting plot.

Saying that though, I think they just shoved the joker in it because he sells. Mark Hamill is great but way over-used in these games. Hugo Strange was fantastic, I was actually interested in that guy. But he ended up way in the background with the Joker once again at the forefront. Even towards the end of the game, the real ending comes down to Joker. Even though the main threat was actually Hugo Strange. Felt like padding than a conclusion. The other problem was the convoluted story. The ending usual suspects/Rashomon thing came across as abit on the crap side.

I try to stand middle ground, don't go over the top, now go away with this look

If you mean Freedom Force, I haven't, but I finished the Arkham Asylum a few times, and enjoying Arkham City

The repeated titan guys did smack of a lack creativity.

I played the Wolverine game after that, found it similar, one thing Imissed in that game while fighting titans is moving them around, but they are too repeated

The other problem was Arkham Asylum done a terrible job of introducing you to it's world. You are just chucked in during the middle of it.

Slightly before it happens, Joker needed Batman to deliver him

 

[Mario_Galaxy]

I'd actually say Arkham City. The story left a pretty sour taste in my mouth.
