Your most disappointing game purchase....

Remember this topic is simply about 'your' opinion on a specific title that you felt really let you down, please refrain from starting a flame war on others opinions.

Like the title states. What is your most disappointing purchase in recent memory where you felt all of the hype, expectations, anticipation of a specific title completely underwhelmed you and left a bad taste in your mouth?

Deadly Premonition.....

Blacksite Area 51. What a complete mess of a game.

Command and Conquer 2.

Super Street Fighter IV. It's rated as one of the top fighting games that's out right now, but I just didn't enjoy it. I don't think it's casual friendly, and when it comes to fighting games, I definitely consider myself to be a casual fighter. On top of that, the over the top steroid-induced art design just wasn't my cup of tea.

Tony Hawk: Ride. Technically it was given to me, I didn't buy it. Very disappointing.

Overal, I don't think there are any games I regret buying for the 360.

Black Ops

Halo Reach... No really.

Fallout NV. Buggy POS.

Well i usually don't step into the trap if a game rates low, but as a big time rpg fan i picked up Nier. BONK! That game is bad, It had potential but the problems just destroy it. Thank goodness i only paid $15 for it.

Star Trek Legacy. DJ_Magneto

Recently, Green Day: Rock Band. I bought when it was first released. It's a good game, but It didn't hold my interest for too long.

WOW, that game was so horrible I completely forgot about it, solid choice. I remember all the hype surrounding it for months, then some complete pile of elephant sized dung appeared on my screen!

Oh, I completely forgot to post my title >.> ...anyways I'm sure most will agree with me on this when I say C&C 4 was the biggest failure to ever come out of the storied franchise. I for one felt completely betrayed by EA (almost as if i had taken it personally) to find out that they were scrapping the dev team behind the franchise, not only did they decide to get rid of the team, they did it half-way through the process of the damn game! Really EA, REALLY? I really thought the idea behind the new style of play might be good for various reasons, but none of these seemed to pan out in-game. It was really one of the saddest ways to end such a great series that spanned so many years and generations. Thats my pick.

i would say Alan Wake and Aliens VS Predator.

AvP i can agree with that, but come on Alan Wake? That game was the best.

The problem was that i am a huge psychological thriller fan. I have read so many of Stephen Kings's books and my favorite show of all times is Twin Peaks. So you can only imagine the excitement and how much i was hyped up for Alan Wake when it was first announced. I bought it on release day, story was not really unique to me (As i said i have read similar Stephen King books)...I like the atmosphere a lot, which was very Twin Peaks-like...But i finished the game once and while started my second playthrough i kind of could not continue. It was not worth a second playthrough to me, i dont know. I understand why people liked it, i guess i over-hyped it too much.

alone in the dark if you could think of a bug it had it a broken game all the way:roll:

Arcania Gothic 4 was my most disappointing game and it sucks i dont known why i waisted money on this game i though it would be good but for as rpg it sucks

Alone in the Dark. that was is REALLy bad. It didn't deserve the 6.5 it got in GS. More like 2.5. Game is utter garbage.

Bomberman Arcade. yeah it was only $10, but still, it wasn't ANY different than Bomberman Live that came out 3 years ago. It was the exact same game but with different costumes. Stupid. Why did I waste my money on that? ...ugh...

Alan Wake,

Wanted a horror/suspense game ended up with a Stephen King paint by numbers.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

Final Fantasy 13, im a huge Final Fantasy fan, have put over 100 hours into pretty much every other game in the series, so was super psyked for FF13, ordered the collectors edition, took it home put in the game and gave up after around 5 hours, i just hated it, have tried over and over since then to play the game but never get more than an hour or so in at a time before i am sick of it and give up, really wanted to love the game but just couldnt......and now they are making a sequel

Prototype...i got it for 5 bucks on gamefly, next day threw it in the garbage literally. Wish I bought a footlong from subway instead.TrapMuzik92

Really? Who does this? If you don't like the game, that's one thing, but you could have easily given it to someone who may have enjoyed it. Putting it in the trash is just a complete waste, even if you only paid $5.

Legendary, that game was terrible. Its the only game I've regretted buying.

Need For Speed Shift.

It's close between Far Cry 2 and Fable III but I think Far Cry 2 just takes it.

I was going to say MW2 but there were some good times with my friends on that.

Splatterhouse...ugh

Is Alan Wake really that bad? I have heard nothing but good things about it till now. I was thinking of getting it sometimes too...AutoPilotOn

I thought it was a great game.

Honestly, probably Lost Odyssey. It wasn't a bad game, but the worst I've paid for. It started off great. I'm a big RPG guy and was excited about the game, but it was just insanely slow and just boring, especially around the end of disc 2 and the begging of disc 3. Never finished it because I would get bored and quit before getting to a save point.

Naughty Bear. I thought it would be an amazing fighting game, and it ended up being the most piece of junk Ive ever played.

soft has the picture of the first title in the series i will have to mention perfect dark zero ! it looked better on paper! ( probably from a scrapped version) but any way it was supposed to have- all game modes from the original

all weapons from the original -we only see less then half with about 4 new weapons-

dont remember the map count but it was more then what was put in the final product

there was supposed to be a cheat menu like the original

there was also supposed to be the same customizations as the original and more characters but instead we ended up with a whole different version i found all this out by detstar.net which dont exist no more the game was supposed to be released on the xbox at the time

Deadly Premonition. The biggest slap in the face to survival horror gamers like myself and it's the biggest rip-off of Slient Hill and Resident Evil. Silent Hill 4 is better than Deadly Premonition.
