Fallout New Vegas- It was better than F3 in many ways, but its rushed development time really shows. Mods and some great DLC later made it a decent package though.

Dragon age 2- Same thing as above. Though no mods or DLC that bandage it. Just pretend its an expansion pack or DLC spin off and its tolerable.

Skyrim- I dont hate it, I enjoyed it well enough. Just wasn't as good as I thought it would be

You're the greatest meme maestro of your'e time, truly inspirational, I bet every single instance in you're life where their are numbers is a time of great repeating integers. When you walk down the sidewalk, you don't skip the cracks, you step on two cracks at the same time, a double, if you will. I never expected such a sublime, exquisite meme, I am truly thankful for the bounty you've gifted me with, thank you.

Truly, thank you.

Dark Souls 2

The most disappointing experience in the history of video games. I was almost certain it was going to be the best game of all time when I saw the April 2013 footage. Fuck me, just fuck me.
>>
Prototype 2. It may not have been the biggest disappointment, but it was one of the most crushing to me. Prototype 1, while flawed, had some really great gameplay and even the story seemed like it set up for some serious shit to go down in 2 with Pariah. But instead we get James Heller fighting evil Alex Mercer with an oversimplified upgrade system and a lack of Musclemass or Armor, 2 of the better parts of the last game. That and the motivation behind Mercer's evilness was pants on head retarded

In recent memory the most DISAPPOINTING games where I went in expecting NOTHING and was still let down are a follows:

-Thief
-Hitman: Absolution
-Tropico 5
-Counter Strike: Global Offensive

As all four of those games come from long lasting franchises which are staples of my video gaming childhood and young-adulthood, it was very very hard for me to see each and everyone become a generic nickel-and-dime-you and dumb-this-the-fuck-down shitfest.

This so hard.

DA was like KOTOR for me, a awesome RPG with a ton of different options and paths that just worked so well. The DLC was kind of hit or miss, but it was gearing up for something awesome. It was also clear that they were working on this some time before the EA deal.

...Then EA happened and forced Bioware to make a watered down ME clone with extremely rushed graphics, copy and paste rooms so bad that it looks like a fan mod of the first game, and one of the most boring follow ups to a game I have ever seen.

I even ignored most people's suggestions and bought it when it was on sale a year or so after launch. Jesus Christ, that was a gigantic mistake.

It wasn't a bad game or anything, but playing it is the easiest way to realize why you're alone in all the other metroid games.

Without the aspect of constant isolation, the game is just "good," not "great."

eh, ill agree with you there. a lot of the powers were borrowed from okami, but the introduction of partners also really kicked it up a notch as well, allowing for more stuff to be done.

of course, it did kind of fall into that whole zelda type nonsense where they're useful for one small portion for the game, and useless the rest, but it was still really neat

and cmon, that end was pretty rad.

i think if they waited a couple years for it to be made on the 3ds it would have been far more successful, as more people would get to know about the game and it'd be a good launch title for the new hardware.

oh well, here's to hoping for the future at least.

Gen 7 slowly turned me from an excited young gamer into a jaded, betrayed realist who still holds out a glimmer of hope for this new gen 8

Mass Effect? Turned to shit after the first game
Assassin's Creed? Story jumped off a cliff in 2, everything else jumped off a cliff in Brotherhood
Capcom? In absolute shambles
Even my beloved obscure Japanese series like Ace Combat, Armored Core, and Front Mission all irredeemably turned to garbage (at least we got one good Armored Core game out of gen 7, 4a).
And let's not even get started on the Lightning saga.

Nope. Half the new mechanics don't work and the AI is still crap. You know those seiges where you'd distract the enemy while your ninjas scaled walls in stealth and unlock back gates for a hidden unit ambush? That's gone. All interesting siege mechanics are gone. Every last one is a meatgrinder at a chokepoint. Graphics are shit and absolutely inexcuseable going even from Shogun 2's mediocre visuals. To top it all off, the game is quite clearly just a vehicle for dlc. Like, shamefully so.
