Top 3 Biggest game disappointments

[Valeron]

I have been playing MMOs since 1997 and have never heard of Tabula Rasa so obviously it wasnt as hyped as games like D3 and SW:ToR so thats why they are considered bigger failures. When you have high sales + hype and turn out a pile of crap then you just made a terrible game. Also most people couldnt even afford the PCs to run FF14 so maybe not enough people could play it to say it sucked?

If you have been playing that long, you would have heard of it. It is one of the few mmos that was actually shut down. Lots of money was poured into the game but ended up getting canned along with the creator of the game (who seems a bit of a crack pot but whatever).

The only reason why games such as D3 and Swtor are mentioned here is because they are so new and fresh in people's minds. But overall they are certainly way more successful than those two games that I mentioned.

1. Swtor. Ive never been so let down by a game
2. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and bolts
3. Wow cataclysm - again ive never been so let down by a game well expansion in this case I was so hyped for this expansion but instead it ruined the game for me

WoW Cata PvE
WoW MoP PvP

Resident Evil Outbreak - You couldn't even pause the damm game!!
Driver 2 - A major disappointment after such a great first game.
IDK what my third choice would be.

1. Diablo 3
2. Swtor
3. WoW MoP

SW:TOR - Even the F2P system is a shambles.

Warhammer Online - was never really popular. Personally liked it, loved the art style and how ever class/race had it's own unique armours and weapons.

The ET movie game: a bit of an urban legend surrounding it, that's how crap it was.

1)SWTOR-Do I even have to start ?
2)NFS:Run-Aka CoD of all racing games.The run was probably worst of all NFS.Everything about Run was bad.
3)Warhammer online

[deplorable]

1) Auto Assault
2) Tabula rasa
3) Aion, RF Online, Archlord, etc

so many bad games...

2)NFS:Run-Aka CoD of all racing games.The run was probably worst of all NFS.Everything about Run was bad.

Old Nfs were nice (porsche unleashed the best), then devs started to be inspired by "Fast and Furious"...

I won't call D3 a failure though, at least Blizzard patched away most of the godawful gameplay problems pretty swiftly with 1.04.

It might not be a failure in our eyes, but it is in the eyes of the general public. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. Even though the game might be a whole lot better now, most people gave up on it long ago and won't find (or even care about!) improvements anymore.

D3
SWTOR

Fuck you hypes!

Am I the only one who enjoyed Duke Nukem forever here, and wouldn't change it at all?!

1) Empire Earth III.
After a genious EE I and quite good sequel we got this monstrosity. The whole idea of Empire Earth, which was being able to progress through many eras and ages, was nearly totally scrapped. What we got was barely playable RTS without any innovations, with extremly limited amount of npcs to recruit and buildings. For me, it was the biggest letdown ever.
2) Flat Out III.
Again, same story. All previous games were masterpieces, filling a niche in racing games. Flat Outs were fast, brutal, fun and, most of all - had a great damage engine, making you sometimes "accidentally" crash into something just to see the effect. Bonus games were a great addition as well - crazy stunts with ragdoll effect were never boring. What about making a game ONLY with those minigames, just way worse and more mundane? Guess what - it was a bad idea. Shitty game.
3) Street Fighter x Tekken PC edition.
This is here because of my frustration. Capcom finally realised that there is a great market for fighting games - PC. Releasing SF IV and subsequent games was a glory in PC world. But with SFxT something went wrong. Capcom released an unfinished game, with major problems that made it nearly unplayable in multiplayer - the main mode of this game. And how long did it take for them to fix those? I don't know. Half a year has passed and Capcom still didn't make PC version playable, didn't include any patches to it and eved didn't allow us to download DLC content prepared for the game (this DLC is another shitfest, but not all in once). Capcom showed not only that they care about their customers only as long as it brings them money - they don't care even it they do.

So I guess almost everyone can at least agree that D3 and SW:ToR sucked lol.

so glad i never bought into the SWtor hype after reading this xD i remember just before SWtor coming out, all the people saying how polished, smooth and balanced the game was, a week later and everyone was saying how bad it was. that went downhill quick.

Asheron's Call 2

Dungeon Siege 3 - It was just one thing making the whole game annoying to me so i couldnt continue playing. The fact that i couldnt change the camera angle, and it was placed in such a disgusting way.

Final Fantasy - The one for Game Cube. Not sure what its called, but i just didnt like it.

[morph4037]

Honestly laughing at so many people saying "Diablo 3!" "Star Wars TOR!" etc.
Obviously the concept of failure is kind of lost to many.

Or *GASP* we all have our own opinions one what we consider failures. *shrug*

Just sayin.

Final Fantasy - The one for Game Cube. Not sure what its called, but i just didnt like it.

Crystal Chronicles, I think.

MW3. Now that was a waste of money. €60 for a game that is in like alpha stage in comparisment with other games on release day is just stupid. I still like SWTOR tho.

1. Diablo 3 - Vastly overhyped game that does not even deserve 1/10 of its total sales. The gameplay is way too repetetive, the story was boring, the villains were lame, and making multiplide difficulties does not make it new content. Nice cutscenes they had trough.

2. WoW: Cataclysm - Also vastly overrated (why is every Blizzard game so overrated??) that also does not deserve its 3.3 million sales at day 1, unlike MoP's 2.7 million sales in the first week. The content was too uninteresting, Deathwing was a badly presented villain, there was too little new content and too much recycled content. It did not deserve the hype it got during the end of WotLK, by far.

3. Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight - This game was bad, just bad, and its a huge insult to the Tiberium series. The new gameplay was bad, removing base building and resource gathering is the worst idea you can ever come up with in a RTS. The story was also bad, unlike the other C&C games. There were basically no celeberties, while the others were loaded with them. On top of that, the ending they gave to Kane was awfull. Hopefully Generals 2 will heal up some wounds to the C&C title
