biggest game dissapointments...

But why not improve? Why have so little ambition? Far Cry could've been great, instead it was a rehash of every other decent shooter out there, with a few improvements.

Indeed, Bioshock was very mediocre... wonder why it got so good reviews.

because people are dumb and think if it looks good then it MUST be fun my brother and i had to explain to my cousin what story line and game play was. I asked my cousin what the story line was and said he didn't know and ramble on some more about the graphics. Apparently every one thinks this way.

Doom3 was and is fun. It may not look as good as Bioshock and is indeed a first person but is way fun especially if you download the gravity gun mod and hurl barrels at monsters. Because doom3 has what is called a "story line" which puts a purpose behinds the game character's actions and "game play" which i won't even bother explaining becasue it is case specific.
 
As mentioned Deus Ex 2 (it could have been so much more :( )

Homeworld 2: after playing Cataclysm I had high hopes, but what we got was cheap sequel.

C&C3 Tiberium Wars: nice graphic but lacking nice CGI videos and variety of different units or upgrade options.

Wing COmmander Phrophecy & SO: the day WC genre died. :(

Fallout Tactics: Why oh why did they have to dumb it down and not use the old system and some of the mission are so tedious.

Firewarrior: Having read the book the game sucked donkey balls.

Hegemoonia + add on: Another case of dumbing down. imperium Galactica series is fantastic and then the gave us that, yack.

HoMAM4: Its even worse then HoMAM5.

mmm...fallout tactics wasnt dumbed down, it was a completly different type of game, the missions wernt tedious, for the most part the game was very easy. fallout tactics in turn based only would be terrible.
 
Hello all,

I definitely agree that Homeworld 2 was a disappointed, regarding units and gameplay but also because of storyline (I am a story person), Cataclysm was more Star Trek and less Space Opera like but it and the original Homeworld are far better than Homeworld 2 (I really wish to find the guy who came up with the idea of magical hyperdrives and kick him in groin, well have a good conversation with to determine his reasons for that drivel)

I actually liked Wing Commander Prophecy, the Kilrathi War wasn't the conflict to end all conflict and I definitely wanted to learn more about the new alien opponents.
What I hate is that the saga was never finished and that we instead got that crap Wing Commander Arena.

I found Quake 4 rather a disappointment as well, sure it looks nice but it doesn't stand out in any way, the story is most cliche.
 
Oh yes I forgott about MOO3, that one was a real disapointment.

It wasnt horrific as MOO3 was, but still with FreeSpace 1-2 around it just wasnt enough. As for arena dont blame the devs this time blame EA and their need to hurry things, the original arena that was suposed to be released wasnt now way near crapy as the one they released. Theyr still releasing the concept ideas and art that was designed but never had the chance to use in Arena at Wung Commander CIC.

I'll throw in Civilization 4.

Not because it used a basically brand new graphic interface and everything in, to me it just didn't feel like Civ. Civ III I find to be the best of the bunch, but IV didn't really meet my expectations.

Saying that though, I still do spend plenty of time with Civ IV, just not as much as III.

I actually really like 4...especially with the new BtS expansion. But the again, I'm not a hardcore Civ player.

Fair enough. I did enjoy Beyond the Sword a lot more, it added depth, to a game already amazingly deep.
 
Fable- I dreamed for three years about a open ended RPG that would revolutionize everything.It ended up being over hyped poop.

Doom3- A good game but nowhere near the old series in replay ability and fun.

Warcraft 3- Was a great RTS but didn't hold me like the 1st two did.

Oblivion- I expected a GOD of a game capable of making me cum in my pants repeatedly like no women ever has. I ended up only coming once,or twice but the feeling subsided not too long after I found out the enemies leveled with you.

fable wasnt anything amazing,but it wasnt the worst game ive ever played, i thought fable was much better then assassins creed,warcraft 3 wasnt anything to impressive, found it boring after a while.
 
I disagree. Quake 4 might've not been revolutionary, but it was a nice development and expansion of Quake II, and the introduction of non-combat sequences into the flow of the gameplay was an excellent move.

Same goes for Tiberium Wars - loved how it expanded the background and storyline.

While Quake 4 might not have been a disappointment in singleplayer, it utterly and totally fails in multiplayer. FPS locked at 60 frames, small amount of maps, only the basic gametypes, slightly unbalanced weapons, weird movement physics, ridiculous system requirements (for a game that is supposed to steal back everyone from the previous Quake games), all that makes it the weakest installment to the series, multiplayer wise. Is it any wonder that more people are playing Q4MAX than VQ4? If it weren't for mods, Q4 scene would have died before it was even born.
