I hate when i get really hyped for a game and and turnes out to just be okay. I was so hyped for the release of dante's Inferno turns out it was okay but didn't reach what i thought it would be despite it looking like a god of war three clone i actually like good clones of good games. WHAT GAMES LET YOU DOWN AFTER BEING HYPED FOR IT.

Sacred 2 left a lot to be desired. It didn't hook me in like I thought it would.

Fable 2 & 3. Neither one delivered on the promise of the original, and were mediocre games wrapped up in novel ideas, none of which are executed very well.

Maybe it's because I never played the original Fallout games but I thought that Fallout 3 was an amazing game. From a fresh perspective into the series, I thought it actually wasn't that bad. I usually pick up games a while after they've been out so I don't really get excited as soon as the game hits the shelf.

It is because you've never played the first two. It's like going from fancy, expensive resturants to McDonalds.

Final Fantasy XIII was the worst. HUGELY hyped, and then I got it. Two hours into it and I said to myself "This is the worst gameplay I've ever experienced in my entire life." After 15 hours I had pretty much lapsed into a monotony-induced coma. At least I got twenty bucks for trading it in.

Gran Turismo 5 is the latest example. Oh man, that was supposed to be the greatest racing game the world had ever seen! But it's just GT4 in hi-def, with a lot of my favorite tracks missing and not nearly enough career events.

Fallout 3 was another. Just so, sooooooo many problems with that game. Sure, if you can overlook all that it's a great game, but c'mon, you can't overlook all that.

Red Dead Redemption - another very good game, but the story and gameplay were far from satisfying.

For me, it was Alan Wake...So much hype for this psychological thriller and at the end, i was fairly disappointed.

Dragon Age: Origins would be the last game I was really hanging out for, only to find the actual game play mechanics boring as hell. I like the origin part of the game for each character, but I found once they're complete the actual game is boring as hell.

GTAIV was a let down for me. San Andreas was fun and enjoyable and had graet music and customization GTAIV was lacking in these and was fairly boring and stop with the constant phone calls geez.

occasionally but not that often, games come out all year and if one I thought had potential ends up being not worth playing, I can usually get over it because something else will end up being quite satisfying and I pretty much get over it

Force Unleashed 2 for me, all the previews and stuff I read about it made it sound like it was THE next best star wars game and what Force Unleashed 1 should have been. I could barely hold my excitement when I saw that Gamespot finally reviewed it, only to find out that its actually worse than its predecessor. The very thought of how they ruined it still saddens me.

GTA games after Vice City...the ones on consoles, not necessarily the handhelds MUA2...I expected so much from that game after playing the first one and was so disappointed after i played it CoD Black Ops...I bought it for my cousin and watched him play it for a while. I just didn't see any difference between it and the previous installment

That's why I've stopped hyping games. I haven't read/watched a preview in over a year. I even skip most trailers. No more huge disappointments, just positive surprises.

Yes sometimes it is hard not to fall into the trap of being overhyped about a game. Then to be disappointed when it is released. Halo ODST and Halo Reach. I love the Halo series 1,2,3 but despite being set in the same universe. These 2 games were good on their own merits But..

Maybe I just expected to much?

Yeah, Fallout 3 sucked so much that it got game of the year awards and sold extremely well. It sold so well, in fact, that it's follow-up was cast from the same mold. I played Fallout I & II when they were originally released. They were awesome games. Fallout 3 was a worthy successor and did a lot of things to advance the series. Totally different from the first two, but well done. FWIW, I still haven't gotten New Vegas... yet. EM

Fallout 3 was fun for maybe 20 hours but then it became a chore to put the disk in, that's just my opinion...

Just to be a jerk, I'll point out that CJ had a cellphone in SA.


OT: Gran Turismo 5 (while good) is not nearly as good as its 5 year production time would normally warrant.
