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.Originally Posted by Tsukasa
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.
