Biggest Disappointments?

Am I insane?!" There was something about the game's overall design that bored me to death. I was probably expecting way too much. One of the first reviews I read was the one of IGN's Craig Harris who said that his favourite platformer was Yoshi's Island and that NSMB was just as good. Naturally I went "OMG!!! THAT AWESOME???!!" and ... it's really not on the same level. Not even close.

Biggest disappointments...I've been really lucky, since I haven't really bought any games that disappointed me at all. But I guess I could say that Final Fantasy X disappointed me the most out of all the games I've played. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that.

I had heard of so much hype around this game ever since it was released back in 2001. My friend had a poster of Tidus up in her rec-room, saying how cool the game was, my Final Fantasy mad cousins were screaming with joy, and there were whispers around the school yard on how it was the best game ever. This was back when I was in grade five, keep in mind, so I had no idea what to expect.

Seasons changed, time passed, and I still didn't pick up the game. For starters, I didn't have a PS2 then. Also I had been brainwashed ever since I found some certain "friends" that girls didn't play video games. They just sat...and talk...and gossip...and back-stab everyone behind each others backs. Including their best friends... *ahem* Either way, I was still very curious about FFX until 2005, when I was at my cousins and noted that they had a copy. This was it! The moment I had been waiting for! I had just tried playing their copy of Final Fantasy IX and was blown away. Now it was the time to see what all of the fuss was about...

I put in the disk. Sat down. Watched the starting movie. Waited. Got into my first fight. Died in five moves.

WHAT THE HELL?!!

You can die in FFX? That's news to me. I remember that game being so easy, I could've played it in my sleep. I also remember two-hitting the last boss.

Yeah, it surprised me as well. I was attacking that bike/wall/whatever the hell you have to hit, but for some reason the monsters managed to kill me just before I could brake down the barrier When I buy X, I'm going to try and do it again...

Last time I played the game I got my ass kicked. I couldn't believe how hard I got my ass kicked. Seriously, going from 12 back to X is impossibe.
