Which was the biggest disappointment for you?

Spore is a common choice, and rightfully so.

For me it was Mass Effect 3.
>>
>>320494969
Either that or Dragon Age 2.

Fucking Bioware, man.

Mass Effect 3 wasnt really a dissapointment.

Just the sad realization that Bioware/EA learned all the wrong lessons of what their audience wanted between ME2 and ME1 and that ME3 was the natural progression of those lessons.

Arkham Origins.

Arkham Asylum was almost lightning in a bottle good and City demonstrated that Rocksteady understood PRECISELY what made the game great and was able to deliver on it in a more and bigger fashion.

Which only made Origins taste that much more bitter.

"Me too" multiplayer.
Open ended predator sections you MUST play like WE want in order to max out your Predator objectives.
A predator mode that is literally impossible to complete.
Game breaking bugs no QA would have let pass.
And worse, they'd rather dick around with season pass bullshit than fix those glaring issues.

FFXIV was an unmitigated disaster as a FFXI fan, both 1.0 and ARR. I had to much hope for a new age SE MMO to lead the way that I even bought the giant CE of the game and now it just gathers dust.

I'm convinced anyone who actively enjoys it never played FFXI or lacked the ability to appreciate it when it was relevant. Shit even in the state XI is in now it's still more playable and it gets monthly updates.

ME3's multiplayer was fantastic. Don't give a shit about it being shoehorned into the campaign as the entire thing was trash anyway, but as a mode unto itself it's the best horde mode ever created, bar none.

And they supported it with free content and weekly balance changes for an entire year, releasing five free expansions that added 13 new maps, a new enemy faction, 41 new characters, 19 new weapons and a whole bunch of other shit, like new enemies for existing factions and equipment.

They deserve all the shit they get for the campaign, but the multiplayer was glorious. Still play it to this day.

The Last of Us. I will probably get some people saying I'm just following what /v/ says, but I'll get real. I followed it from when it was first revealed, and i didn't have a PS3, just a 360. It sounded great. Each reveal seemed to be even better, talking to us about this great A.I. and how stealth was so important. I followed every bit of news of its development cycle, and a couple of months before it came out, i bought a cheap PS3, and sat patiently. The day it came out, i bought it, and popped it in. It started off promising, although i didn't think the opening was the emotional tidal wave i had been told about. I played it for 10 more hours, and nothing about it was that great. The A.I. was bog standard, and the stealth was dreadful. I dropped it then, about a month after it came out, and i will never pick it back up. It made me wary of getting carelessly hyped for video games.

ME3 was a very good game. It just did not deliver on what was promised. Disappointment/disappointing is definitely a fair way to assess it. I too was disappointed. People tend to call it a bad game, but it is far from it. I prefer ME1 and ME3 brought back somethings that were removed in ME2 and that's cool in my book.

New Vegas is my most favourite game in the franchise amd I haven't had so much fun playing RPG game since Kotors one and two.

ME3 was bad enough to the point where it made me never want to touch the previous ME games ever again.

I really loved finishing ME1. I felt so amped for the next installment. When I played ME2 I knew some people complained about it being a more mainstream AAA title and they were right but it was still enjoyable, just different. Hell, the DLC for ME2 I would say is better than all of ME1. ME3 was okay until the 2nd half roughly and then the bottom started to fall out. Then I just felt like everything that happened in the previous two games meant literally nothing and I was so fucking dejected.

A close runner up would be Dark Souls 2. It felt so half-hearted. Like they literally tried to copy and paste the previous formula without adding any passion or love for the game. What a waste of everyones time, both costumers & developers.

Easily AC3 for me. I loved the series up until that point, flaws and all, and I had no idea they would fuck it up so badly. I'm not even going to list all of the things wrong with it, it was just a buggy, boring, stupidly-designed piece of shit.

The only good thing is this was the game that forced me to stop pre-ordering and build a PC.

A waste of developer resources that wothout a doubt detracted from the single player potential of the game.

>>320494969

But ME3, overall, isn't the worst in the series. The game was pretty damn good until you got to the last fifteen minutes of it. And the multiplayer was pretty neat. Horde mode with a plethora of classes spanning many races that got free updates like new classes, new enemies, and new maps.

It's just that last fifteen minutes of the single player is AWFUL. For Mass Effect as a series I'd say that 1 is better than 3 and 2 is the worst.

I didn't buy ME3, it was still a disappointment.
If you willingly by a game that against better judgement will be shit, then you deserve it.

>>320494969
Let's think.

AoE 3 was disappointing
Settlers 5 was so massive disappointment I've dropped the series
I was sure that there could be no biggest disappointment than Civ 5...
... but then Beyond Earth happend and I literally have no words to describe it.

Ass Creed, the first one, was massive disappointment for me, so I never even bothered with the rest of the series.

Fallout 3 crushed my dreams we will ever have a decent Fallout game. NV only solidify that stance.

Tomb Raider Anniversary managed to shit on perfect game simply by recreating every single bit of it without understanding what made it so great in the first place.

Far Cry 4, for being Far Cry 3 with shitty protag, shitty "plot", shitty map (yes, let's place the game in the mountains and waste ages to get from point A to B) and shitty magic mambo-jumbo that didn't fit the game at all. It takes a lot to make every single damn character unlikable.

>>320500154
Fucking this. I got done playing ME2 for the first time ever last week, and fuck it was disappointing compared to ME1.

ME1 had a lot of open environments you fought in. You could tackle any of your five objectives on a single planet in WHATEVER ORDER YOU WANTED.
And even non-combat zones like Citadel were huge and easy to get lost in.

Then ME2 came along and turned everything into a four-room corridor. Only one objective per planet, and it's a fucking copypasted four-room corridor.

ME1 was literally just a bunch of recolors that slightly changed percentages. It was shit, and everyone ends up buying the same armor by the halfway point of the game.

I know Im in a minority here, but last level and ending aside, I actually enjoyed ME3. I thought it was a pretty good game. The gameplay was as good as its ever been and a lot of the character interaction was good.

Honestly that isn't even all of it. The gameplay was generic and dogshit too. Most areas had cawadoody-esque 'spawn closets' where the only method to make enemies stop spawning was to move forward. The game play was boring and every 'difficult' enemy was just a bullet sponge.

Maybe this stems from me playing on the hardest difficulty on my first playthrough, but I don't think giving enemies more spawns and more health are good gameplay.

B) Give the data to the businessman being hassled by the corrupt CEO?
C) Give the data to the investigator spying on the CEO?

All these played out as you play than as a dialogue option.

>all that reading comprehension
Nigger, when did I ever say ME was the epitome of an RPG? You're getting salty and putting words in my mouth. It makes me think you're baiting.

In any case, ME2 is pretty much Gears of War-lite. I'll take minimal RPG elements over tiny corridor environments and no skilltrees any day.

-They made everything tinier and more compact, and removed any sense of exploration.
-The frequent loading screens (yes, the elevators were better) completely ruined immersion and made the world feel disconnected and not contiguous.
-The complete bastardization of the skill system was unforgivable. (hurr durr everyone only has one passive and two actives. And a lot of them overlap). All but three of the squad members were completely interchangeable, and there was literally no reason to pick anyone over any other one. Even on Insanity difficulty.
-Even if the Mako was shitty, it was still better than fucking scanning. At least the Mako sections made the worlds feel bigger and lifelike.
-The experience points being awarded only at the end of missions was completely asinine, and it basically provided no incentive other than to rush to the goal. Why bother exploring? You're already full on ammo/medi-gel/resources.

to be fair they fucked up by making the arrival DLC

the dlcs have to complement the story, not be mandatory to it

I played me 1 , me2 and me3 without any dlc, just vanilla. If they started with some huge consequences about the Arrival, i would have been completely lost

kotor 2 was a disapointment for me.
essentially the same game as kotor 1, but with useless shit but with a shitty antagonist. well at least they fleshed out hk
>>
>>320501521
yeah, the skill system in mass effect 1 is the best

I hated the cooldown system in 3, i made an magic soldier in that one, i think concussive shot had less than 1 sec cd with the right gear
>>
>>320501521

>when did I ever say ME was the epitome of an RPG

You literally said "why even bother playing RPGs?" as if to say that Mass Effect 1 embodies the experience of a good RPG.

ME1 is an okay RPG. So is ME2. But neither are good representations of the genre.

>>320501359
Open endedness is not a good measuring stick for the quality of a game. Of course ME1 is better in certain aspects like this, but in the realm of gameplay ME1 is shit.
>>

Seriously, replaying ME2 after playing ME3 is fucking appalling. ME2 is beyond shitty now in comparison.
>>
>>320502810
ok, what was so great about kotor 2 compared to one?
>inb4 the game was SO DEEP YO and kreia WOW
no, the game wasn't deeper than kotor 1 (although people pretend it was) and it was painfully obvious that kreia was the "bad guy" in the game from the start.

>>320502518
And that's just it.

Arrival could have set us up with a good trial scene, shepard answering for his crimes, a recap for those who havent played the previous games and an interactive drama where the player is given a chance to explain or extrapolate on their reasons and motivations.

Followed by either Cerberus kidnapping you guns blazing if you gave TIM the base OR your surviving crew freeing you via an elaborate heist.

But instead we got walking while talking forcefully, the Intro followed by ZOMG REAPERS!

Then backtracking on how we totally cant destroy reapers much less destroy reapers by destroying mass relays so let's shoot them with our guns.
>>
>>320502916
Yes, it was. In both gameplay and writing.
It's not the game's fault you're too shallow to appreciate it. Go enjoy your "mwahahaha!" villain and imbalanced classes.

And no shit Kreia was suspicious from the very beginning. That was her damn shtick.

But both of those are entirely true.

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain. I honestly thought it was going to be the greatest thing ever.

How wrong I was. It didn't feel the same way as when I played MGS1 to MGS4. It felt...unfinished. The ending was disappointing. I got tired of it.

A real shame for such a good series, but hey, I guess that's what happened when the company you work for just wants to make plinky plonk machines.

Mass Effect 3 was in no way different from Mass Effect 2 so how was it a disappointment?

Citadel was the one good thing to come out of ME3.
>>
>>320494969
Funny thing is, Drew Kaprshyn's vision for ME3 was much much better.

For one thing Cerberus wasn't supposed to all out retarded evil. Cerberus and Alliance was supposed to be in an uneasy truce while they both focused on Reapers.

Shepard was supposed to have option of taking missions from both Alliance and Cerberus, increasing his stance with both organizations. More equipment, upgrade options and other bonuses were supposed to be avaible depending on who you helped most.

Endings were supposed to be different too. For example, if you did a particularly good job with Cerberus missions, TIM would voluntarily step down and name you as his successor.

Another feature he wanted was to make all companions from previous games, Miranda, Thane, Wrex etc avaiable as squad members.

There was also some talk about ship to ship battles similar to that Genesis game Buck Rogers, only in real time.

EA however, wanted to rush out the game, so all of these features were shitcanned.

Maybe he saw what was going to happen and decided to left early.

Although less than most people since i marathoned the whole series after ME3 came out and was aware of the shit ending.
I was still kinda disappointed.

>MGSV
Probably the biggest disappointement since I was so fucking hyped for this. Not a bad game but the trailers were showing a much more different game than what we got.

>Telltale's Walking Dead S2
I loved the first season and while the second was good, it didn't have a lot of the qualities that the first one got.
Like "hubs" where you can talk to characters about stuff, and your choices having any sort of impact.

that shit was a different level entirely and will forever remind me to not get invested

Dead Space 3.

Dead Space 1 was good, Dead Space 2, while more action oriented was definitive proof Visceral knew what they were doing with the franchise even DESPITE EA's tampering by forcing a shit MP mode.

But Dead Space 3 was just too much executive meddling.
Human soldier enemies.
we dodged a bullet with MP no one played in DS2 so let's jntegrate it with the SP because that worked SO WELL in FEAR 3.

Elli love interest bullshit.

Fuck Dead Space 3.

I'd rather have a game with a slightly more coherent story, better combat, better quests, and insanely repetitive map design than a game with a garbage story, garbage combat, garbage quests, and insanely large maps with little content.

>>320508774
It wasn't even hype. I didn't get into metal gear solid until a couple years ago. I played them in order though. When I hit 4 I got a little mad because the gameplay was always so detailed and weird. The way they broke the fourth wall without actually feeling super cheesy like modern indie games is still great and original even today. But it just became homogenized shit ever since 4 and never recovered. And 5... dear god what a fucking joke.

Not sure. All I know is that Create mode didn't work for me and as far as I know there was nothing I could do about it and the tweaked physics broke old LBP levels so there's pretty much no reason to play it.
>>
>>320509623

Simple.

By the time the game was finished everyone who waited for it was an adult and everyone who WOULD have been young enough foe the gross out humor was from a different generation.

Outside of the 2 weapon bullshit I found nothing in Forever that wasnt in the previous games.

No matter how often you say it, it will never be true.

Spore, Rome 2, ME 3

Putting them in an order is pretty hard for me, so they can share the title of god awful shittiness.
>>
KotOR 2. Such a wild ride that ended with a whimper AND a giant fucking cliffhanger. Then nothing for a decade until fans fixed it up a bit.

I could see Spore was going to be a disaster with all the hype it had. And ME3 is a Bioware game and they've been shipping out mediocre games with shit story since day 1.
>>
Probably Mass effect 3. I have a weird voner for the mass effect series. I really love the atmosphere and characters. 3 was just garbage as far as I'm concerned.

I'll still buy the next one though because im terrible
>>
In order

ME3. I'm still so fucking mad. I've got shit taste too, and I loved it until the ending, I really did. Having my opinion of a game changed so drastically in 15 minutes was surreal. I was in a daze for an hour after that.

Rome 2

Seven Kingdoms 3
>>
>>320503306
It did have better combat and gear, but if your level and encounter design are terrible it doesn't matter.
ME2 had a shit selection of powers and weapons and still remained interesting because it rarely had you feel like you were doing the same thing. Mission variance is why ME2 stands over 3 from a gameplay perspective.
