Final Fantasy X-2:...What can I say about this game that hasnt already been said.
Tekken 4: Not a particulary bad game, infact Lee came back which was great. But due to Jin not having the same style from Tekken 3 and the fact that the sound effects for punches and stuff sucked it made me sad.
I hated the junction system but I didn't mind the story. Some of it made me mad but I loved the world and ti was a fun game for me, LOTS of side quests compared to FFVII (which was my first)Quote:

I'll try to give it another chance later, but I need to get over my disappointment first.Quote:

Oh, The Bouncer too. And I wasn't even expecting very much from that game.
I prefer FFVIII to FFVII, why? because it's a better game. I'm sorry but VII was overhyped. I also find far more memorable quotes from VIII.
KH:CoM, another hated in this thread, I enjoyed a lot. I thought it was very creative and I didn't play it for the story. This is prolly the only game I have ever played and it wasn't for the story.
What was I dissapointed with? Star Fox Assault for 1. The mission/story mode was far too easy and way too short.
THE JACKEL
Metroid Prime 2 was a slight dissapointment to me. I didn't like how it strayed from the regular metroid style. But I still liked the game. However, a huge dissapointment was Saga Frontier. That game was awful. :mad: And my brother spent all my allowance on it. :mad2:
Most things on the GameCube. Except SSBM, that exceeded expectations. And Resident Evil 4.
Kingdom Hearts, I was expecting that to not... you know... suck.
Final Fantasy IX. I was expecting something at least half as amazing as VII and VIII. I did not get it.
Yeah Kingdom hearts pissed me off.
I loved that game. :(
Advance Wars 1, and 3
I like TBS, and my asian TBS buddy raved for hours about it. And it was so bad, it was ghey (h for emphasis). AW2:BHR fixed my problems. 3 smurfed it up again by adding teams, super tag makes it possible to one turn capture, taking anyt and all challenge out.
Megaman X8
Just, no. If I can beat a boss without moving, somethings wrong
More to come.
Final Fantasy X-2
I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I did judge this game's cover. I thought (by the look of the cover) that this was going to be not so good. And it turns out I was wrong. It wasn't just not so good it was that with a pile of garbage on top.
Fable
I was so excited. I thought this was going to be a groundbreaking rpg. And although I did have fun playing it I found it pretty repetitive after a while. The game was way to easy and the storyline was flawed. They also could have put in more character interaction.
Spider-man (the movie...the game)
This looked excellent on the xbox. I loved the movie so I thought the game would be pretty cool. I guess I haven't learned that most game movies suck.
Grand Theft Auto 3
Many people told me this was a fantastic game. Although it was original and much better in graphics than GTA 1 or 2. It wasn't that great at all. A character that doesn't talk? WTF.
Final Fantasy 8
I knew very little about what rpg even meant when I saw this game. So I was excited to see something like this. It looked futuristic and cool. I soon began to hate it when I realized all it was about was random love between characters that don't even know eachother.
OddWorld: Munch's Oddysee
Looked great (ofcourse it was on the xbox). I liked the characters and the setting. And I liked the other OddWorld's as well, but this seemed to be lacking slighltly for me. They could have created more enemies to spice it up a bit. It wasn't that bad just not what I anticipated.
Kingdom Hearts:
Characters cool. Storyline confusing. Setting amazing. Music alright. The only thing I wasn't antipating is that fact the controls were so horrid. It frustrated me to no end. Definanelty not what I expected from a Square game.
Resident Evil 2
Too easy. I expected the puzzles too be challenging like the ones in RE 1. But nothing was really challenging here at all. On all different modes the game could have been better. The only good thing about it...William.
Some I forgot.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The first new one for this generation consoles. I was pretty excited about the game. Some of my fondest childhood memories were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game and The Manhatten Project with my little brother, so a new installment made me pretty excited. Oh, but I should've known, the fact it was based off the current animated series made it nearly inevitable that it'd be a cheap money-maker sponging off children without using any effort. It was boring, easy, bland, and the characters incessant catch phrases would make my ears bleed. Made me sad.
Megaman Legends II
I loved the first Legends title, so when playing this I expected an equally magical experience. Well not bad, it just wasn't nearly as fun as the original.
Magic Pengel: The Quest For Color
I was excited over this game back when it was Color Quest, I expected a wonderful monster creation system, battle system, and story. No, my friends, no. The art system was still great, but you had to draw 3D creatures in 2D, so things didn't always come out the way you wanted them too, the battle system was an awful rock-paper-scissors system, and the story was bad and short (beat it on my second day).
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
I loved Sands Of Time. It was a beautiful masterpiece. Warrior Within however, was irritating. It had out of place metal music and just felt awful and wrong. The combat still got tedious after a while, the story was dumb and the love interest was ridiculous, it was over-the-top dark, which made it feel stupid. Sands Of Time is vastly superior.
Devil May Cry 2: Sucked because of the crappy story and too small levels. Also Dantes personality wasn't as cocky as it was in the first one.
I hate HALO. In my opinion, it is by far the worst game ever created by man. That game so overrated, it recieved "Game of the Year". It has a crappy storyline and game play. How typical is it that you have to kill aliens to save mankind or something that - basically is just a 'run and gun' game with a poor storyline to try and back it up. I was very dissapointed in this game, I was expecting a descent storyline.
Sorry to ruin your spirit HALO fans, but HALO is WAY overrated.
I was thinking about making a thread like this. Good job, saved me the trouble xD <3
Anyway. My list.
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
I actually got to go to EA (thanks to Cid and EoFF! <3) and play this game in it's early stages, as well as give feedback. I was just amazed by the game at that stage. It was such a wonderful idea and everything they had so far was gold. So innovative! When EA sent me my advanced copy I was overjoyed and started playing immediatly and I was hooked... but the game soon got bad. My first disappointment came after Moria. I remember all through Moria being super excited that I'd soon get to Lothlorien... and then I left Moria and was transported all the way to Rohan. No in between. I was crushed. Then it got worse. There proved to be very limited NPC dialogue, and no time to just 'explore'. Always stuck in battle scenarios, never just usual RPG in-town time. When I couldnt enter any of the houses in Rohan, I was beginning to get pissed. THEN my game froze after a battle. Outright froze and wouldnt fix. I soon learned that the game was full of bugs and I was just horribly disappointed and pissed. Damn you, EA! You make me sad ;_;. Thanks for the free hotel tho <3
Final Fantasy IX
Let me say that I despised VIII. But I managed to play through it and have a fairly enjoyable time, despite the crappy characters. But IX... it just didnt catch me. It wasnt that the game was flawed, I just didnt get into it. I couldnt make myself continue, hard as I tried. It was quite a let down. I felt like the magic of FF was gone for me (thanks, X, for fixing that).
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Yeah hey, crappy battle system? You make my life teh sux.
That's all I can think of offhand. I'm sure there's more to come.
Devil May Cry 1:
My oppinions are completely bias and all... but it sucked compared to DMC2 (I had played that first)... the battles werent that... awed out as I expected them to be.
and well.. the story was random.
