    for me it has to be Deus EX: Human Revolution, absolute garbage of a game, worst $60 ever spent, no joke.
    I like how you say that and then trash Deus Ex. :P
    Mass Effect 3 was a massive failure in my book because it deviated so far away from the original game, which was closer to an RPG than just a bland action shooter. Stats became so simplified and the game left out important details from the previous games.

    I have to agree. I do think D3 needs to slip in there above SWTOR, but you could not be more right about GW2 and WoW: Cata

    Brink - I wanted this game to be good. Like TF2 with tricks. I was so sad...

    Dragon Age 2 - Recycled assets, lack luster story, short, uninspired, I was unimpressed.

    SWTOR - I actually didn't expect much from this game. I hated how people were hyping it. I expected an average MMO that I would play to level cap. The game was a buggy unoptimized mess with fun draining features all over the place. I could have been a great B2P game or game for new MMORPG players but somewhere someone messed that all up. It doesn't help how Bioware guarded their polished turd as if it were gold or how the hardest part of the raids were the bugs. Or how it took me 9000 load screens just to go to the next planet. Its liked they planned an amazing game but threw it all together the night before. It had a great story, I liked the art direction and they had a few good ideas. But not nearly enough.

    I don't like WoW but maybe you should quit MMOs? The only fault in GW2 IMO is if you're expecting a long term game like WoW.

    Are you currently playing any MMORPGs? I could understand your PoV it it were just those 3 that you don't like

    Indeed, Deus Ex HR was one of the best games I've played.

    Mass Effect 3 was a massive failure in my book because it deviated so far away from the original game, which was closer to an RPG than just a bland action shooter. Stats became so simplified and the game left out important details from the previous games.
    Maybe its just my opinion, but I thought 3's combat was the perfect mix of the faults of 1 and 2. 1 was over complicated (YAY +1% to encryption!) and 2 was oversimplified. I loved the ability evolution myself.

    Personally I've always found stat-intensive RPGs to be tedious.

    Well Im not going to read through 17 pages but Advent Rising for the Xbox was one of the worst games of all time, unimaginative story ala Star Wars: A New Hope, bad button macros, glitches in every level, impossible bosses, left wide open for a sequel .. never happened for good reason

    1. Call of Duty 3 and beyond
    The first two CoD's were, without any discussion possible, amazing games. The third one broke my heart and the series continues to do so ever since.

    2. Any game in the Zelda universe released on CDi (Link: The Faces of Evil - Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon - Zelda's Adventure)
    Someone mentioned these horrible, horrible games earlier in this topic. This is the stuff of nightmares. I thought CDi was going to be the bomb and I love anything Zelda, so 1+1=2, right? Boy, was I wrong. Tbh, the only game I actually liked on CDi was Burn: Cycle. The disc is still inside my CDi player, that I still have.

    3. South Park
    To this day I can still hear those freakin' turkeys. Looking forward to The Stick of Truth, though.

    I am going to have to say Test Drive Unlimited 2 was a failure. Wow was I sad when I got that. I was bummed too because I loved the heck out of Unlimited 1. Unlimited 2 was just so buggy and laggy at launch and it was so hard to play with my buddies for some reason. Losing all my money in the casino due to a glitch was also annoying and stupid.
    The only constant is change.

    Vanguard saga of heroes is the biggest failure in the history of video games, followed by warhammer and D3

    You guys know that, "I play it still" isn't a good rebuttal to if a game is failing or not, right?

    How can the most expensive MMO made, EVER, which only lasted a year before going f2P (forced to pay) not be considered a huge failure? So, SWTOR.

    And then there's these....

    Let me preface this by saying that I grew up loving Star Wars. For a long time, Empire was my favorite movie of all time (yes I'm old; watching them as a really young kid left a huge impression and set me on the path to nerdhood).

    Having said that, 1st, 2nd and 3rd all go SWTOR. From the horribly altered Hero Engine to copying way too many systems from an old-version of WoW to the sheer ego displayed by EA in the build-up to the dozens of other reasons, this game was a colossal flop. The bigger the setup, the harder they fall.

    I gave it an honest shot. I grinded VR 70+ on my Marauder before the first major patch. I raided the Ops. When EA failed to deliver the Nightmare version of an Op early on and then *at the last minute* pulled major changes to their PvP content, I started to sour on the game. A few weeks later I unsubbed.

    I really wanted the game to succeed but looking at the laughable list of F2P vs. restricted "features" that was recently released, I see that they are still clueless.

    I never thought I would be *thankful* that Disney be in charge of this storied franchise... but that's how mismanaged it has been in all aspects.

    Sticking with what is this year from a MMO perspective..

    1) MWO - Mechwarrior Online. Ouch. Painful. While I love the game play it is so over the top Pay too win its silly.

    2) SWTOR - still beating the dead horse

    3) any recent comic book hero game

    Personally I still play SWTOR (although waiting for my sub to run out because I just can't support them with this F2P model) and I still like it.
    But even though I like it, SWTOR does come first on my list of biggest game failures... as for 2 and 3, I'm really not sure. I've played some bad games but as far as I can remember, there aren't any other that I would say are failures and definetly not the biggest ones.

    (I'm assuming we're talking about games that we have actually played here)

    Not in any order:
    Duke Nukem Forever
    Revelations 2012
    I can't think of a third game now.

    1. The Virtual Boy. What a flop. Nintendo releases their first and only bad console. It's a 3D game console which gives you headaches and makes you look like a big faggot. There's no way to comfortably wear it, and all games on it except for Wario Land are either decent, mediocre or directly bad.

    2. Sega CD. Trying to bring real motion pictures into gaming is a baaaad idea, and it was simply some kind of mishaped alternate lifeform that had to stick on your Genesis to work. All it gave the world was a good Sonic game, arguably the best ever. The rest of the games were some of the worst games ever released.

    3. Phillips CD-I. This could have been easily ignored, but I bet most of you guys already know the deal with this one. Nintendo gave Phillips permission to use some of their characters in their games. What we got was 3 fucked up cocky Legend of Zelda games and a horrendous Mario game. Those 4 games alone make this the biggest gaming flop imo, simply because they fucked up two of the best gaming franchises ever so badly.

    I don't consider Diablo III or some of the other mentioned games to be failures. They were financially successful, especially Diablo III. Sure it sucks for us, but as long as the game makers earn the money they're supposed to it's a success for the company. The 3 consoles mentioned above were both unimaginably bad, and on top of that they were big financial fiascos, and have been erased from history all together.

    Seeming as topics about personal game disliked and any genre I gotta say - Skyrim

    For a game that now has a massive cult following because of it I was left rather flabbergasted after I played it as to why it was so popular. The combat was awful and archaic, the story was nothing amazing and a few pc port issues such as the awful menu.

    Besides that I haven't really bought a game that I regretted. Prior to Skyrim I didn't have much money so I only bought games I knew I'd like, after Skyrim I decided I'd never pre-order a game again as there really isn't much to gain from playing it on day 1, especially when you can wait until after release for demos, reviews and the price will also go down naturally.
