Assassin's Creed Unity

Got completely enthralled by the series as a whole, was monumentally excited for Unity judging by how it looked and played, and having a PC that could run it on high settings.

Got it on release, played for 5 minutes, computer shuts the fuck off completely. Continued to do this until I replaced the thermal paste a few days later. Even then, bugs and glitches bog me down, multiplayer connectivity is frog ass, best weapons and gear are locked behind dumbass community challenges that aren't even accessible without joining a klan, and some gear even needs that stupid phone app to acquire.

It left a terrible taste in my mouth, killed my inner fanboy forever, I haven't gotten/played syndicate either. Other than that, never been seriously dissapointed by a game.

Street Fighter 5. Not because of it being gutted for an early release, but because I can't get good, and it broke my competitive spirit.

Bioshock Infinite. Although my hype simmered down once we started seeing more gameplay.

Why would you let yourself get hyped for another Bethesda Fallout game?

I preordered it from playntrade.
They had a fucking release party and everything.

Some people just haven't had their spirits broken yet.

Skyward Sword was the nail in the coffin for me. ME3 and Thief helped. I haven't been able to look at a new game without searching for inherent flaws since, it's very disappointing.
>>
Stellaris. Great early game but a combination of the retarded sector AI, UI quirks, and a completely barren midgame means i haven't touched it since that first week.
>>
>>339730634

RTWP combat
Awful balance that forces you to use certain builds once you turn up the difficulty
Horrible pacing
Takes place in the most boring regions of the world

It's okay, I'm the same.

Nothing traumatic, but Dark Souls 3 was a bit of a letdown for me.
Worst PvP, worst covenants (mound makers are a cool idea, but people are fucking boring and rarely turn-heel), areas are mostly thematic or literal retreads and it has embarrassing texture quality, even at max.

That aside, it has my favorite bosses in the entire series

I'll add that my reasoning for PvP is due to Estus chugging being extremely abusable and hard to punish. DS2 was literally perfect in that regard with its delay

Bioshock 2 was awesome you double nigger.

Gun is the only one of those games I bothered finishing, evrn then it wasnt as good as Red Dead Revolver. All the other games were boring as shit or flat out awful.

KOTOR 2 for sure. I love that game. But goddamn was the first one better

Many of the games mentioned so far are pretty good desu.

I feel like an abused wife that just keeps coming back for more. Fucking Burch. Borderlands 3 is the last chance I'll give them because no-one can fuck up that badly that many times, right?

..guys?

Don't preorder Borderlands 3, then.

I can understand falling for pre-sequel because you enjoyed 2, but why are you "loyal" to Gearbox after Alien and Douk forever?
