What's the single most dissapointing game you've ever played?

[Fonzie]

Bayonetta

[Aerith's Knight]

Return of the King. I loved the series in both book and film, but that game was more linear than FFXIII and far more boring. I've never been as disappointed with a game, except maybe C&C4, boy, was that a bummer.

[Dreddz]

Bayonetta surpassed my expectations and I was hyping that game into the stratosphere since it got announced. How on earth could you have been disappointed?

[Captain Maxx Power]

From now until the day I die, Final Fantasy 12 squarely holds this position. Coming in a very close second is Deus Ex 2. I can't think of any other game that has outright disappointed me in such a verbose manner to the point where I was gnawing at the walls with anger.

[Zeldy]

Twilight Princess.

[Fonzie]

Twilight Princess.

Yeah I also agree. Before playing it I was so hyped and then it turns out to just be sort of... boring perse. Took me around two months to actually getting around to completing it.

- Terrible story, terrible dialog.
- Same three music tracks repeated throughout the game.
- Sub-par visuals on an HD display (I played the 360 version).
- Way too easy thanks to the fact that you can slow mo everything at will, rendering enemies defenseless and removing all challenge from the game.

It was fun but next to other action games that it's extremely similar to, such as God of War and Devil May Cry, it's a joke.

I was terribly excited about it too. Ah well.

Actually, yeah, this too. I mean, I always enjoyed final fantasy's, and now they come with a freaking MMO story game? It remains the only FF I started but never finished.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Definitely Arc the Lad: End of Darkness. I thought Twilight of the Spirits was bitchin', but this was just atrocious.

Indeed. I would say X-2 but I never expected that to be good just from knowing the premise of it, and I barely played it anyway.

Also, I dunno is anyone's played Super Mario Bros: Bowser's Inside Story for the DS but it's a pile of poo. Like instead of just jumping on a goombas head, you have to actually battle it like FF style. And if I remember correctly, there's like a levelling up system for Mario and Luigi too. It was just crap.

You realize that game is part of the Mario RPG series.... right? That was a great game...

But I didn't like it I was expecting just your usual bashing some goombas and running and jumping inside Bowser, but it was just all weird and not Mario-like. I played for about an hour and then stopped cos it just didn't feel like I was playing Super Mario.

Probably Wet. I expected a game that, while not fantastic, would have the style and right amount of absurd fun to be worth a play through (based on the demo). What I got was a game that got dull quickly, had a myriad of game design problems, and felt far too rushed. At least the Rockabilly soundtrack was good.

I'm surprised the demo even left you with expectations that high. Even the demo had a ton of gameplay problems, not the least of which being that I didn't find a single bit of it fun.

Meh, guess I just didn't see them initially or something, or they become much more pronounced later on. I'm a pretty easy guy to please when it comes to action games and can overlook a decent amount of annoying crap for a good time, but Wet only gave me about an hour and a half of fun. Hooray for rentals.
