The thing I hated most about RE5 was the fact you can't move and shoot at the same time.

There are a horde of zombies coming after you. Are you seriously going to stand there and fire away aimlessly?

That's been in almost all Resident Evil Games.

And it needs to go

It's a stupid game mechanic used to inflate difficulty and nothing else. It worked in the 90's cause no one knew any better, but in this day and age, keeping it around is just antiquated.

I find it feels fine in Resident Evil games certainly makes the action more intense than say Halo or something.

It was RE4.
Minus the Merchant. Minus the scaryness. It was the same game. Different environment. Thats it.
Also.... The Ai for your partner, she would rush off and kill herself . WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING :dies: Sasha has died. God Damn it!

Who the hell is Sasha? Her name is Sheva.

But I agree, I was pretty disappointed by RE5. RE4 scared the bejesus outta me, and they promised the same with RE5 (even saying that the daytime aspect wouldn't hinder the scariness at all). But not a single scare to be had. It was fun, certainly, my brother and I still play on occasion. It's a good action game. But that's not what Resident Evil games should be. Although, I was terrified by the first RE5 DLC. Scared the crap outta me.

I'm also not understanding all the hate for Fallout 3. I love the game. Still play it. I love all the characters, I love the gameplay, I love the story. Sure, the settings do get boring after a while (OH GOD NOT ANOTHER ABANDONED BUILDING), but I feel that way about basically any dungeon ever. Remember caves in Pokemon? Or caves in Final Fantasy games? Or caves/mines/tombs/forts in Oblivion? Same shizzle. It's the equivalent of a random encounter. And I hate random encounters.

Batman Begins: The Game. Basically, they promised the game to be everything Arkham Asylum would eventually be. And it wasn't. "Make your enemies terrified of you! They'll react to whatever you do!" What they didn't tell you was that you only ever had one choice when it came to scaring your enemies, and if you didn't do that, they'd kill you without question.

Dragon Age: Origins. When I first got the game I was in love. Never finished it because I let somebody borrow it. Then I went back a few weeks ago and tried to play it, couldn't. Ugly as hell, for one. And the gameplay is sooo boring. It's like Knights, but without the fun. And that sucks, because I genuinely like the story.

Force Unleashed 2. Force Unleashed 1 wasn't some fantastic game, it was incredibly short and had a ho-hum story. But it was fun as hell, throwing people off of ledges and basically just wrecking face. Force Unleashed 2 removed all of that, ramped up the difficulty and has an even worse story.

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any right now.

Blood Bowl. I swear the dice rolls in the PC version is rigged.

I agree with that. I couldn't beat the first boss due to this error.

Ouch. I personally only had trouble with the feature on the highest difficulty. I just think its a silly game feature. They should just accept that other games like Dead Space have taken what was done in RE4 and improved on it and move on. I know Capcom still lives in the late 90's as far as game mechanics go, but come on XD

I think Red Steel for the Wii was major fail.
People kept going on how it was a serious game on the Wii.
(When the Wii came out and all the games where kinda kid games).

I just thought it was unplayible.
The controlls were messy,it couldn't tell if I was moving up or pushing forwards.

The plot was bleh,just japanese mafia stuff.

And the sword fighting parts needed little to no skill.

BLOPS. EPIC fail.

Personally i think all "hyped" games tend to fail, most people just expect to much from them.

True true true. Some games do live up to the hype, though.

BF3.

Perhaps it just wasn't my thing but it came across was way too up itself for me to enjoy.

Me too but in the end it turned out being bad. Didn't like it at all :(

Brutal Legend = way over-hyped because of Jack blacks involvement in it.

I was truly disapointed.

Nom XD

I thought it was a decent game sure the game play and level design left something to be desired, at least the atmosphere, graphics and story rocked.

THe only part that i enjoyed was murdering emo's whilst listeneing to cradle of filth. XD

It was just to predictable for my liking.

I did not Dawn of War 2 Retribution. It feel short of my expectations.

It was a game about Metal. It was damn cool and funny. Though, they did misss out on Varg Vikernes...

Supreme Commander 2. Took everything that was good about SC and threw it out the window.

Fallout 3. Cause I was a huge fallout fan before it.

Fallout 3 was my first, but I have played the others and like them better. New Vegas was a HUGE dissapointment for me.
