Which Video Games let you down?

Outbreak 2 was nothing more than Outbreak 1 with different scenarios. It didnt feel like a true sequel and they failed to improve upon the original's faults. It was pretty much an expansion pack
 
Never played the first, didn't feel it as an expansion pack or something in that accordance
 
Okay, but in that regard it was. Sequels should take what the previous entry did and improve on the mistakes and downfalls. Outbreak 2 failed to do that. Both games had an interesting concept but it was severly limited. My main issue with hte games were the awfully long loading times between rooms. It made travelling a chore and sucked the fun out. I wish they had found a way to make that more bearable
 
Borderlands- SOOOOO boring. It was super hard in single player & in co-op everyone just f***ed around. I do sort of like the world they created though. But despite that I have NO hype for Borderlands 2.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Vanilla)- It was a Beta for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, which is infinitely better IMO. I've put more time & have had more fun in Ultimate than I ever did in Vanilla... I don't even know why UMvC3 is more fun, but it is.
 
Dragon Age 2-What. The. **** were the thinking? It's just an action game that sorta kinda is an RPG with a total of...5 dungeons. What a bunch of ********...
 
Marvel Alliance II-Gets very repetitive.

Lair. Thought I was getting a sweet dragon game. Wrong. Luckily, I didn't buy it.

Agreed.
Dragon Age 2 wasn't even worth the 5 bucks I rented it with. My god, the side missions all took place on the same damn maps....they didn't even *try* to hide the fact that they were re-hashing the same dungeon you just got through playing ten minutes ago.
 
Uncharted 3- Don't get me wrong i love the game but it is nowhere nearly as great as Among Thieves when i first played it.
 
Marvel Alliance II-Gets very repetitive.
They all do
Sims Castaway(DS)
Speaking of DS, Spider-Man 3 on that device. Why use the pen to move a character when he's not on the touch screen? Gets too confusing
I hate how some games make their gameplay almost pen exclusive

inFamous is another game that let me down. It was just boring to me.
 
I think it's a good game with interesting concepts used
 
It's very fun to move around in the city, but I found the characters (both allies and enemies) to be very uninteresting and the missions were boring IMO.
 
Killzone 3. My god that game is boring as hell, and I loved Killzone 2.
 
Locomotion is the thing I found least interesting
 
I would definitely agree with Infamous. I got the game for free, and I was still underwhelmed.
 
I can't say I was let down from Heavy Rain because Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheight also sucked.

If there was one huge disappointment for me this gen it would be LittleBigPlanet's failure to impact the market. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that game, but there were dreams of it changing the face of gaming and remaining a dominant force in the PlayStation line-up. As it stands, LBP2 has been all but forgotten about. It's a shame, it has real potential.
 
This year Dragon Age 2 was the big dissapointment for me.

Thinking back, Doom 3 was a major letdown.
 
X-men Destiny. X-men fans waited over 5 years for a proper X-men game and we got that. The early info about the game sounded very promising with the news of customization as it seemed it would center around the much anticipated Create-A-Mutant feature. What we got instead was well, beyond a dissapointment
 
Mortal Kombat (2011): Gameplay is wonderful, best MK fighting game in that department, story is something else

It's a fighting game, story is irrelevant to fighting games.

I love AC2 and Brotherhood, they are high among my favorite games. Still haven't played Revelations

The first has issues:
  • When I need to fight I need to target the enemy. Brotherhood has an auto-lock, why is it so bothersome here?
  • The citizens to be saved. Though unnecessary, they are a bore and useless
  • The muscles who say they are ready to help can't be rented or asked for help as in the sequels, they sit still and only say they are ready to help after I finish the fight, so I can't aim them
  • I fight a group of soldiers, only one remains, a few more pop out of nowhere to attack
  • I can break grip of anyone, but sometimes when only four remain I cannot break their grip or counter (after gaining those upgrades), why does this happen? And there are times I lose no matter what
  • If you miss a platform on water and fall, you get de-synchronized, with the sequels they were generous enough to solve that issue and allow Ezio (and Desmond) to swim
  • Informer missions can be painful at times, like jumping on roofs in 1:30 minute to reach a messenger
  • The drunks & crazies always pick on Al'Tair
  • Sometimes I can't climb without getting stuck and need to move down or on side to be able to proceed moving up
  • On the PS3 disc, a glitch forced me to replay the game since the start, cause I went to a mission city in memory block four, can't get the mission or info about it. Didn't happen on PC though

There are a few other stuff I could mention, but those would be over the top more than valid, so it's better to stop here

The franchise is great and only saved by AC2. I wont delude myself though bc the first game was god awful. It got TONS of praise and hype pre-release and I was pumped for it only to be incredibly bored and annoyed by it after playing it. The game was just bad. Its amazing how Ubisoft was able to turn things around with its sequel bc AC2 is sooooo much better in every possible way

I will agree on Assassin's Creed, the first was good, but far from great. Personally I felt the pacing was what was most off, having to finish the same mini missions during each memory just felt like more of a chore than anything. Assassin's Creed 2 showed how the first game should have been made. I'd kind of like to see the first remade now that Ubisoft knows what it's doing.

I look forward to MK story

I agree on wanting a remake of the first
 
I've got another one. Fable III. So much about that game was terrrrrrible. It was a pretty big disappointment for me, and I wasn't even really excited for it to begin with.
 
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.

Holy ****! No, not your quote...the girl in your avatar. Sheesh!

But yeah, I'd say Killzone 3. So much hype and expectations considering how much I loved K2, and it just plain sucked.
