Fable:
While a fun game, as far as I'm concerned it is simply a demo of what Fable should be.

What? The MI series are classic!Originally Posted by drunkymonkey

Also Unlimited Saga, Catwoman, Matrix games and Ys (PSP version).
I didn't say that the MI games weren't anything less than classic. They're three of my favourite games, but I cannot like the fourth one. They really messed it up.What? The MI series are classic!

@Craig: I completely agree.
Lameshout: Lamers That Matter
Final Fantasy XI - Horrid Level-Grinding, it's an MMOG stuck in the dark ages. Add to that the fact that you can't even choose which server you go on means you're dropped into the deep end with no one to join you. And world passes? PLEASE!
Grand Theft Auto (all of them) - As long as I can remember people have been praising these games into the stratosphere. Well I've got news for you all - they're no where near as good as you think. Perhaps the most awful of the series is San Andreas. I'm not a huge fan of the whole Hip Hop culture, but having to watch even a second of it was like having my spleen removed. By a monkey with a spatula. Without anasthetic.
KOTOR2 - Now I did like this game, but compared to the first it was a real let down. The less said about the last part of the game the better.
Fable - Again a game I enjoyed, but expected a whole lot more from.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
I was expecting this to be as good as the original Spyro. My gosh, was I wrong. We get crappy graphics and animations that make my eyes want to roll out of their sockets, a lot of glitches, overly repetitive stages, and a really stupid storyline to boot.
do you remember smackdown just bring it? the first wrestling game on the ps2. i was so looking forward to it wen it first came out. nowhere near as good as the ps1 smackdown games, but atleast they made them better after that.
KINGDOM HEARTS
Can you say repetitive?
BATTALION WARS
I was really looking forward to an Advance Wars game on the GC. It sucked. It sucked so much that Intellegent Designs changed the name to save AW from this piece of crap.

whos' obama?
I neglected to mention everything by rare besides Star Fox 64 and Perfect Dark.
Final Fantasy X-2- What a flamin piece of crap that game was. Yuna as Britney Spears, who were they targeting with that?
Resident Evil 4 - Everyone said it was the best thing since sliced bread, I thought it was eh.
Shadow Hearts : From the new World - I am such a fan of the first three games, and this game really let me down. I still like it but the series has lost the interesting dark edge to it in favor of the most smurfed up things they can think off and just being odd.
Arc the Lad : End of Darkness - The series is fantastic, and moves smoothly to the ps2, but this game just blew donkey balls. Even more tedious then 3 which I didn't think was possible.
Dragon Quest VIII - A game that has a lot of potential from a reliable series and just loses it all in another boring typical story with great characters they never bother to develop.
The Xenosaga series - Now don't get me wrong I still enjoy the series, I don't even mind the long cutscenes, just comparing it in any way with Xenogears is an insult which the series is a prequel of. The second game was a dissapointment compared with the first too.
Katmari Damacy - What am I missing about this game, that so many people raved about. Are you required to be stoned to find any sort of enjoyment from this game, rolling around a ball picking up stuff, neato.
The Wild Arms series - Played all three, not sure why, they all have basically the exact same story.
Kingdom Hearts II - This is an affectionate dissapointment, cause I still enjoy a lot of this game. All of the Sora, roxas, namine, rika, organization story I enjoyed, the disney felt very chorish to me, and you had to do them twice, and with key voice actors not reprising the roles, that part really dragged the game down for me.
Ugh, for sure. I was so excited when I finally got this game and then I was just like... this is the worst MMO I've ever played.
LastAncient, you dont like Katamari? Wow. I suppose if you dont enjoy the rolling, you wont enjoy it at all xD
Shadow of the Colossus - This game had the worst controls and camera ive ever seen. At one point it took me like 40 minutes to find a colossus. Those were the boringest 40 minutes of my life and i sold the game soon after.
God of War - Can we say over hyped? There were like 2 boss battles and 5 different enemies in the whole game. Not to mention it was nothing other than a button masher...
FF X2 - Enough has been said about this turd.
Silent Hill 4 - It didnt have that special 'something' which makes you want to keep playing. I HATED HATED HATED the whole half of the game with your ugly, slow, crippled female friend.
Congratulations, you are the first person I've ever heard of who 1) liked DMC2 to any degree and 2) who didn't like DMC1.
As for me, I was disappointed with Star Fox Assault. I had watched it's development closely, and I knew that the game was going to suck but I was still hoping that it might be cool...and it wasn't. Damn you Namco! Starfox 64 is one of my favorite games of all time, so the announcement of a new and improved Starfox game excited me in ways you can only dream of. Nintendo technically didn't do any wrong, since they gave the rights to make the game to the Ace Combat team. If anyone could make a good Starfox, it would be them. They know what they're doing, right? Well, unfortunately, no they don't. Apparently Namco thought that the game that everyone likes because you fly a spaceship would be a lot better if it didn't have all those spaceships in it. Namco, you...I'll get you one of these days.
DMC2 was incredibly disappointing. I also watched the development of it very closely, and I was really looking forward to it. All the videos and reviews and previews I had read about it made it look ridiculously good, but the final product was terrible. You could literally stand still and hold down the fire button and shoot things and you'd win. It was ridiculous. Not to mention that you would go from fighting demon tanks in a ruined city, to a European village, to a burning offshore oil platform, with absolutely no explanation as to why you were in all these different places or what you were doing there. Dante went from being a cocky badass to acting like Two Face from Batman. Factor in a forgetable main villian (some guy who looked the Chinese guy from Virtua Fighter, except he wore a white suit), some girl who turned into a bird or something, some random old lady, the fact that swords were entirely useless, the fact that the enemies' AI was completely broken, horrible level and boss design, and most insultingly of all, the fact that the final boss was just a mini-version of all the bosses up to that point AND the fact that this game didn't really have a story and that it didn't connect to DMC1 in any way...and you have a horribly disappointing experience.
To be fair though, I really like the way Dante looked in DMC2. But that's about all it had going for it. DMC3 does everything that DMC2 does, but better. My only complaint is that it's hard, which is another disappointment, but not that big of one.
I was really disappointed with Xenosaga. I hated Xenogears, but I was willing to give Saga a shot. And unfortunately, I liked it. I liked it even though it was a horribly, horribly designed game. I never had fun while I was playing it, not even for a second, but I kept going back. It really disappoints me that I did, because WOW that game was terrible.
Knights of the Old Republic disappointed me a little bit. I love that game, so much so that I played through it twice to get the different ending. And upon doing so, I discovered that the two endings are both really boring. But overall that game was fantastic.
SaGa Frontier 2 was disappointing at first, but then I grew to love it so forget it. And fighting games in general were disappointing to me because I used to WANT to play them but I'm generally speaking bad at them. I had to practice really hard to get as good as I am now, which still isn't THAT great, but I do alright. I'm disappointed that I don't have enough patience for MMOs anymore. I guess that's enough for now.
No.
Rare didn't make Starfox 64. They did however make Starfox Adventures for the Cube, and as of yet, the words to adequately express my utter hatred of this game don't exist in the english language.
I have to agree with you on Rare though, except that I also love Goldeneye. Everything else they've made has been average at best though as far as I'm concerned, and got progressively worse towards the end of their relationship with Nintendo. A lot of people made a big fuss about them being bought by Microsoft, but I just said good riddance.
Super Mario Sunshine: Basically Mario 64 with fewer levels, less variety in those levels, and some of the most frustrating hidden mini-game type levels I've ever seen. Not to mention the long jump is better than the hover nozzle. It was basically Mario 64 if they scaled back everything that made it fun for more than an hour. Next gen my tuckus.
Zelda: Wind Waker: Pretty much the same deal here. Fewer levels, although those levels have more variety than Mario Sunshine. The lack of an overworld to explore and all the sailing however got on my nerves. They essentially cut one of the best aspects of Zelda and replaced it with the most annoying thing possible. Let's not forget finding the triforce pieces either. Note to Nintendo; having to sail all over the world searching for stupid maps, spending ungodly amounts of rupees translating them, and then searching all over the world again for triforce pieces lost on the bottom of the ocean isn't fun. Fetch quests are generally annoying by their nature, but this earns the title of worst fetch quest ever. I'm still holding out hope for Twilight Princess, but if Nintendo manages to screw that up then I may just lose all faith in them.
People make too big a deal out of the Triforce quest. It's one part of the game. It doesn't make the rest of the game any less amazing.
And I absolutely loved the "secret" stages in Super Mario Sunshine. They were like classic mario stages, in 3D!I'd buy a game made exclusively of those stages.
