Well, to be fair, the Jrpgs like lost odyssey were kinda ok, and i actually liked banjo N&B.
But holy fuck, the "action" games are a massive pile of steaming shit, and the game on the picture "told" me hard.
Playing it is like playing a good game with an very annoying cousin that will punch you in the guts and steal the controller on all the actually good parts of the game, and will return it to you to play the boring ones.
And this cousin is present on pretty much all the action games on this console.

I really wanted to like it, I really did. But it sucked so much shitI was one of those that lost the preorder because of card rejection a week or so before release. I spent about 300 shekels on ebay for the collector's edition.I regret it to this day
There was a time when I thought Other M would actually be good. I ignored the obvious warning signs, I figured "so what if it doesn't look as good as a game 8 years older than it? It's still in progress, and graphics aren't important anyway! Nintendo's never been known for good stories, but I'm sure they have some interesting plot. I can't wait to see what parts of the Metroid universe they shed a new light on! I'm sure Sakamoto knows precisely what he's doing, he made Super Metroid after all!"
I used to think that Nintendo had a certain set of standards, that there was just a certain level of quality they could never fall below, and that illusion was shattered for me.
Prototype 2

The worst part is that Bioshock 2 did the exact same plot as infinite did, but better. The theme of Fatherhood which is shoved in Infinite in it's last 20% while in 2 it's a solid, realized theme that follows you throughout the game and culminates in Elanor matching your actions once she's released.
In infinite, it really does feel like it was changed from romantic lead to family tie for no other reason that to shock people who were expecting her to be the romance.
Tales of Radiant Mythology.
Not saying it's a bad game, but just not what I was expecting. I was expecting some sort story like tales games usually had and instead I get a game full of fetch quests and monster killing.
>>257815034
Try your best for a top 5, also Fuck me3
Battlefield 2
1942, Vietnam were so good. not to mention the mods like Desert Combat, Forgotten Hope and the weird ones like BF Pirates.
BF2 rolls around and its just nasty as fuck. they stripped out all the character 1942/V had and now its just 2 modern brown armies fighting each other in poorly designed brown maps. Desert Combat took the same modern military idea and did it way better, and it was fan made.
I think that's when I stopped playing multiplayer shooters. Looking back it looks like no mods worth a shit ever got finished except for "muh realism" arma wannabee
don't even get me started on the CoDified trash that is BF:BC and BF3/4
Sonic Adventure 2

>>257815204
Not to mention most of the abilities for Infinite were ripped right out of 2 and Minerva's Den.
Minerva's Den did the twist ending much better than Infinite. MD kind of lead you into it with casual hints whereas Infinite dropped it right on your head all at once. The DLC of Infinite, at least BaS2, would have been good if they hadn't gone out of their way to destroy the lore surrounding Big Daddies from both Bioshock 1 and 2 in the process.

I'm absolutely positive that's because Levine is an egotistical asshole that saw someone else's story in one of "his" games was being praised so he felt the need to copy it and "do it better".

Those games were awful sequels, some were decent games and others were just awful, but they all underdelivered and ruined the franchises previous track records of quality in some way or form and made me want to puke my guts out.

>Bioshock: Infinite (trying too hard and just not as fleshed out as it's predecessors)

>Metroid: Other M (why even play it if it's only going to tarnish my experiences with any other title in the series)
>The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (uninspired and largely empty world; a fucking NGC port)

Oh yeah, on a side note, if you anons haven't learned by now, NEVER buy anything that Slant Six has touched.
Literally UNFINISHED games. I don't even enjoy SOCOM, but that Confronation PS3 title was a joke. Felt so bad for long-time fans. The only reason that game sold anything was because it "included" the official PS3 headset.
I was replaying Civ 4 for months prior in order to get hyped. The expansions were alright but they can't patch the combat and AI.

It's the last time I listen to /v/ recommendations.
I've been trying to think of a point where this feeling would have been fresh for me.
That would be WWE: Smackdown Vs Raw.
Around the point were the wrestling games I loved so much just turned into THQ cashgrabs.
No real additions, all sorts of cuts from other games, customizability took a hit, and the career mode was awful.

That's why it's so great to just discover new games for yourself once in a while with no hype, no reviews, no nothing.
But to get on topic, the Aliens vs Predator 2010 was so disappointing that I even forced myself to play 20 hours of multiplayer, convincing myself that it was all just an improvement of the previous AvP2 and AvP1/gold.

The last good game they made, was, Baldurs Gate 2.
Not a game, but a console. The Nintendo 3DS. I got it in March 2012, too goddamn early for starters but I didn't care because I bought up into the hype. I ended up just playing DS games on it for a majority of time because the few games I played on there didn't impress me at all, and there was so little.
It also hurt a lot to hear about the 3DS XL getting released 3 months after I bought it, having things like a decent fucking battery life, a screen that isn't so goddamn tiny, and that is actually designed for bigger hands.

Well he fucked up bad. I was much more attatched to Elanor than I was to Elizabeth, despite Elanor's character just sort of begining and ending at "Magical Ghost Girl Damsel", because despite that it's very clear what she is and what her point is in the story. "This is your Daughterfu, she is in trouble, you are a big lad with a drill for a hand. Figure it out."

You know I was disappointed with 5 too but I still had fun with 6 I can't really describe the soul draining feeling that game was. Although mercs in 6 is bretty dope
>>257810595
Pokemon X/Y
I typically like Pokemon but it was by far the most disappointing one and the frame drops irritated me to no end. Let's not forget the stupid exp share shit that made the game piss easyno I won't gimp my game by turning it off
Dark Souls 2

it's like they started with a finished product and spent the game's entire development cycle just deleting shit and adding googly eyes
>>257819921
Yeah that game ruined Wesker. Half the reason he was such a good villain was because he was always behind the scenes and manipulated everything. He's supposed to be pretty smart, yeah?
>>257813738
Sasuga Ninja Theory.
Mass Effect 2.

Dark Souls 2
My fault really for expecting something similar to demons souls but I still had fun with my twinblades i guess
>>257820345
It's the expose rule.
Things explained lose their luster. Wesker being in the background worked because you could never get a read on him.
Then 5 came around and you were like "oh, he's just... Neo, but with viruses?"

I'm sure I would have loved it if I played it near release date. But I've played too many better games to like it now.
Runner up is LittleBigPlanet Karting. It was just ModNation Racers with Sackboy's face on it, but the developers said Sackboy could get out of his Kart and walk around so I thought it could be useful for making 3D platformers. They didn't even try to cover up that lie. Karting is an unstable laggy mess. Moreso than the regular game. It's like the devs wanted to make it as shitty as possible so that players would buy Modnation instead.

For you failing to realize that ME was a shitty series.
It's a karmic punishment. Being able to detect a good game to invest a time into is a skill, and you should hone it.
I saw that ME is shit even while I haven't played ME1.
Good games give you good taste and teach you to watch out for certain telltale signs of shit.
Good games like PS:T or BG series. Or Fallout 1 & 2.

Completely fucking terrible followup to 999. I'm glade game 3 of the trilogy got cancelled.
>>257810595
Unreal Tournament 3 killed my vidya forever.
The trailers had amazing musical scores and bits of footage that made the game seem so good. Even the intro started out kick ass. The actual product was a mess of stealth sections with guards that can one kill you (thus being more powerful than satan, you never actually fight one without a stealth section) and garbage levels/enemies.
Ugh.
Fable 3.
>>257819619
Come on, AvP 2010 wasn't that bad.

There have been good exposes.

>>257813606
This is definitely one of the big ones. They built up so much hype and released an unfinished product that was a step back from their previous releases.
>>257819219
came here to post this
fuck that game. i refuse to even call it a goddamn breath of fire game
Sacred 3, Spore, Dragon Age 2, X: Rebirth, EVE with monoclegate, and Every Fable after the first.
This so much that I can't look forward to Smash 4.
2011 was a bad year for me.
Brink taught me how to hate.
One month later, Duke Nukem Forever taught me that hate wasn't enough.
>>257821116
Yeap, which applies to most of the games mentioned here, but when you've devoted a good year to AvP2 multiplayer with it's incredible class variety, fun modes and well made custom maps, it's pretty hard to acknowledge AvP2010 as a good AvP game.
>>257819619

Well ok then.
My brother was pretty disappointed by Call Of Duty Ghost
He was hyped when the Multiplayer trailer showed that Battle rifles get their own class, only to end up being major dogshit and nerfed to all hell.
>>257810595
Halo Reach......I bought the Legendary Edition
Gears 3 also
MGS2
Half-Life 2
>>257819047
Saints Row wasn't that bad, but Brink was really fucking awful. I'm glad I borrowed it first instead of actually buying it.Until I bought it for $3 a few months ago.

I liked SPM for it's uniqueness, and I know story doesn't really matter in a Mario game, but it was surprisingly really good
>>257821358
>Ignoring %95 of Brawl being superior because it's not Melee 2.0
>>257821358
I still love the game itself but Brawl definitely put a damper on my expectations for the next title.
>directly stated from the dev team that it was casualized to appeal to a larger audience; this was an obvious symptom of the Wii and Nintendo's new marketing strategy
>>257821716
Everything except the fuckawful engine it runs on which is the most important part of the game. Also the single player modes were pretty underwhelming and lots of features were either unnecessary (masterpieces) or anemic (stage builder). Brawl is basically a game defined by quantity over quality.
Sticker Star wasn't an RPG
It was a puzzle game with RPG elements
The sooner you realize that, the less bitchy you can be, it wasn't a bad game, just a different direction
Your an idiot if you actually hated SPM just because it's a different genre when it still has elements if what made PM good.
Fallout New Vegas IS a better game than 3, 3 just has the advantage of being "THE FIRST EXPERIENCE"
>>257810595
resident evil 6
never payed 60 bucks for a game since
>>257821716
>tripping is a good mechanic :^)
>>257820042
For real though, the 3D effect is extremely fucking overrated. They should have made the streetpass stuff the main gimmick instead and focused on other augmented reality features like the face raiders game does or the denpamen where you catch more denpamen.
>>257821547
I didn't play Half-Life anywhere near the time it came out, but I still don't see why some people are disappointed in the sequel. What were you guys' largest gripes?
GH5
Seriously, I started so late on the whole guitar hero thing, after playing through 3 and 4, i just wanted more, and 5 was so bleh. At least the guitar was nice, much better than that shitty Les Paul. Too bad the game wasn't nearly as nice.
What else comes to mind:
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
Uncharted 3
Ass creed 3 (this too was after binging through the series)
MW3 (Literally copy / pasted game)
Animal Crossing CF
Crash Nitro Kart
>>257821398
No, not really.
See >>257821394
When you take away all the classes (of which each race had 4 and 8 for humans since Corps and Marines), add some ridiculous multilayered maps (making the radar even less reliable than ever), remove every mode except TDM, hunt and survival , remove server customizability and add a "lock-on" rock, paper, scissors melee combat system, it kind of takes away too much from the game.
>>257820934
>>257814267
I started this game a little while ago, at the part right after the runaway train part into the mines, does the game get any better or does it get worse? I love the music, but the actual LoS combat seems few and far between
>>257822218
I was never invested in the spyro series, but I can only imagine just how sad spyro fans would have to be after seeing what happened to him.
>>257822150
>denpamen
Mah nigga.
>>257820316
If I'm not mistaken, EA bent Will Wright and the dev team over a barrel and pretty much forced them to make changes and dumb shit down to appeal to a wider audience.
>>257818760
I don't know. I enjoyed the more sullen aesthetic of GTAIV. It was a lot more detailed of a world in general. By comparison SA was a lot more varied but sort of sparse. Sure things were missing from SA in the trasition but I thought the improved physics made up for much of this. Also San Andreas' mini-games were fucking tedious. The dancing? The weightlifting? The lowriders? I find that shit annoying and tiresome rather then fun.
Dragon's Dogma.
For all the hype, it was pretty bland and boring.
>>257821716
there's lots more that's wrong with it than just the floatiness
>>257822449
Gets worse. FAR worse. The intro was the best part of the game.
>>257822218
Crash Nitro Kart would've been god tier if the sense of speed wasn't so awful. You should giv it a try again soon Anon, everything else about it is pretty awesome. It was also the last game to be worked on by the original Crash artists (Who they hired back after they were MIA for WoC), and seeing PS2 versions of the first three games environment art is amazing.
>>257822212
I personally am not a fan of the engine or the load times caused by that engine, also it starts very slow unlike Half-life 1 which throws you right into the fun stuff.
Let's see here...
Resistance 2
Saints Row 3
Battlefield 3
AssCreed
Huh, you know, all of my bad purchases came from the last generation. Pretty telling of the overall quality huh?
>>257817685
No, because they made it shittier, ruined lore with retcons and banal writing, removed runewords (YES RUNEWORDS FUCK !), made graphics shit for the time it released, made all characters same by virtue of making infinite respecs free at all times while not in combat (no character investment whatsoever, you can just remake your character into the flavor of the day / moment).
Removed character stats.
Need I go on ?
OH YES, THEY KILLED CAIN WITH A TOOTH FAIRY
>>257822474
It's about the same level as Crash, except the hope of him returning to glory is deader than Crash, and he's already long gone.
>>257822218
I realized not to buy another GH game after Legends of Rock.
There was an entire mandatory update for the game that literally ONLY CHANGED THE MAIN MENU BACKGROUND SO IT INCLUDED A FIVE GUM™ PACK LAYING ON THE TABLE.
>>257822609
Firetruck missions.
Vigilante.
Ambulance missions.
I thought the lowrider shit was cool, but that one I can see...
Heart of the Swarm.
Wings of Liberty at least had some entertaining missions. They didn't even try with HotS. A complete abomination across the board.
>Retarded story
>Unnecessary anime-tier fight scenes

It's fun enough to 100% though. What's wrong with you?
>>257822735
Damn, I really liked the intro as well. If it is not even as good as that, I think ill pass. Shame becasue the first Lords of Shadow was pretty good

my fav game series :( why
Can I count a game I had no investment in? I pirated Watch_Dogs because I had no faith in quality but wanted to see.
I am legitimately angry they were allowed to sell that as a "completed" product at full price and that retards actually bought it.
