Please, you newbies and your love of Morrowind.

Daggerfall's where it's at.

Oddly enough it was Morrowind which I found disappointing in that series...

Daggerfall has got nothing on Arena.

I was dissapointed in the God of War games because Mary Sue took lessons from Kratos.

I love the God of War games, Kratos has about as much personality as an angry pepper shaker but the boss's and epic enemies more then make up for it. Im also fascinated by Greek Mythology and a chance to bludgeon, butcher and blatantly crush major figures and characters of said mythology is awful fun.
I was especially impressed with God of War 3, Me vs the Pantheon of Olympus, one word....EPIC.

COD Black Ops. It's even more linear than the original COD, and I frankly believed that to be an impossibility.

CNC 4 - No bases, just walkers. Oh and the unit count. WTF is a unit count doing in a CNC game.

CNC 3 - where was the tiberian ecosystem, the Veinhole monsters, the viceroids, the tiberian fiends seen in tiberian sun!

GTA 4 - Erm, right quests and spawning in places I never understood. Plus the same system as GTA 3. *yawn* SR2 is better.

Warhammer online - SO FECKING DUMBED DOWN and no gore or disturbing stuff. I got bored tanking on the bastion stair with my guild. No wonder I left. In the higher levels its either MPkill in the pvp areas or just be bored.

Resistance 2. If i wanted to play gears of war i would have bought gears of war! I really liked the first one.
Resident Evil 5. Not what i want from a zombie game anymore.

Titan Quest. Bought it for some retro fun. linear and boring. And why cant i fight hercules or agamemnon or achilles or someone like that?

Medieval 2. Damn Pope. and damn inquisitors.

Viking: Battle for Asgard.

This game is extremely repetitive and repetition is its greatest weakness, go to an invaded camp, free the prisoners and kill the invaders until you have enough forces to attack with a huge army and besiege their fort. The big battles are awfully fun though, just to look at.
But after the fifth or sixth time of doing the same thing it kind've loses a little something.

I even re-rolled just about all classes and races just to see opening stories, which was about the only thing that kept my attention. But, once I got into the world it just fell off for me...

Dragon Age was very dissapointing and downright boring a lot of the time. Last time I buy a game just based on its developer.

Too Human

Cool idea, but the game was awful.

It was very repetitive, and enemies began to take 200 plus hits with your sword (controlled by the right thumb pad thing) at like, halfway to level cap.

So true. I still played the game to death. That could have been a very good game had level and enemy design been better. Controls could have used work too.

Fable 3.
Once the true end happens IE 1 year after you become king, there is even less to do than there was on two.

Admitadly all the way up till the end it's better than 2. Although this is what two should have been.

Don Cooperino wrote:Black Ops. Was seriously excited and then pretty underwhelmed. IMO MW2 still the better game.

Returned Black Ops and got Fallout New Vegas and really enjoying it.

Shenanigans, I call it, this fellow said that he RETURNED a game after playing it. Lies I tell you, lies!

I'm loving black ops, some really nice weapons and the story is better than MW2 in my opinion.

Let's see most disappointing game is going to have to be Red Faction 2. The first was good, but the second one seemed to drop the ball on blowing the place up.

Personally I think Black Ops is waht MW2 should have been, as far as multiplayer goes.

Yep, it should've been. Also Dead Ops Arcade is fantasticaly fun.

Warhammer Online. Was awesome, but feth, on release my friend and I played a BO/SH combo and it was a joke in pvp or rvr. Absolutely frustrating.

Freelancer. Please MS update this or release a new version, it has disappeared.

WoW. Addicting time waste. Can't get into raids unless you have a GS from the next 2 highest raids, how the feth am I supposed to get that gear to tank your ICC 10 then?

Planetside. God I still love this game, but BFR's killed it along with lack of support, last update was from 2009 I think.

Global Agenda.

Frankly I think the only way to save WAR right now is via an NCSoft-style free to play system.

I think the game that disappointed me the most was 40k Firewarrior. First, I thought "Oh! A 40k SHOOTER! Must play!" but, then, I realized how much of an EPIC FAIL it was. First, Tau could use Bolters. And Heavy Bolters. And Chaos Space Marines could hold RAILGUNS. You could also take down a IG Commissar by yourself in CLOSE COMBAT...and your a fire warrior.

I'll echo a couple other posters by saying that Oblivion was awesome yet disappointing. The lack of Levitate and Jump spells made me a sad panda. On the flip side, an enchanting system that didn't backfire nearly everytime was nice.

The ending of KotOR: II disappointed me greatly.

WoW.
I'm gonna get some hate for this, but I think its a waste of money and isnt that fun.

That game sucks. No hate from me

I agree with Lucifer that game sucks. I don't hate you

WoW didn't disappoint me because I didn't expect anything out of it anyway.

FALLOUT 3 what a turd that game was. I loved morrowind, I loved Oblivion and i even got most the way through Arx Fatalis (I cite that because it was a buggy, unfriendly game). It was just so bland and VATS was just like a rubbish version of Resi 4 ( the same shot placement strategy i expected was very lacking). The horrible glass eyed NPCs the Nonexistant learning curve, the monotone map (maps in games are more than one colour for A REASON!!). Far cry 2 Was pretty rubbish and i'm kindly comparing it to Far Cry: Instincts (the Xbox one) which i liked. Any Game since Oddworld: Stranger 'The Best game in the world. tm.' has disappointed really.

YES!

someone AGREES with me on this!

I was sure I was gonna get bomb threat PMs and this thread was gonna become a bonfire.

us wow haters should form a union.

sad thing is, some people prob would commit suicide.

WoW is as good as MMO's can get in terms of polish, care and whatnot. My main problem with it is one of would you like some grind with your grind?

Gah! Please don't remind me Brook. I am seriously considering the expansion here and flailing to avoid it.

Incidentally, that's also a popular opinion of the GW hobby. I'm just saying...

Maybe, but at least you don't have to pay monthly after you get it all purchased.

WoW is as good as it can get when it comes to gakky, generic MMOs with cartoony graphics, yes.

Certainly not the best by any definition except a blizz fanboy's. Hell, City of Heroes was better in almost every way and it was released before WoW (and its expansions added far more content than WoW's expansions).
