Biggest Disappointments?

[GK Punk]

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.

Nope. The NES. Without the NES, we wouldn't be talking about this stuff right now.

It's not that I hate 3D games... they are impossible to play, and a lot of games that were turned into 3D killed the franchise. Look at Earthworm Jim.


Plus trying to walk a straight line and not falling off a cliff? Fugeddabout it.

NES games are hard and are on the whole way harder than the games we have today. Especially with innovations in technology that let us save anywhere or use savepoints.

There were some NES games that were downright impossible. Looking back at some of the games I used to play, I can't believe we all took that ****! If a game came out today that had the difficulty of some of the old NES games, we'd be ****** off!

This is bullsh*t. You clearly haven't played more than a handfull of 3D games, don't pretend to know what you are talking about. And yeah, Earthworm Jim really is the best representative of 3D, rather than, oh I don't know, Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time.

I can only think of a few at the moment.

Star Fox Assult: Pretty much the same reason as TMB had. I expected another Star Fox 64 type game...and got almost none of it. I enjoyed what little flying time I had, but the foot missions were just annoying to me.

Recent Final Fantasy games: I dunno...I just don't get into them anymore. Especially....was it 10-2? Where you had to change costumes and what not? I played that for...about 10 minutes and never spoke of it again until now.

Oblivion: I don't think it was as disappointing as I just expected more of it. I find it a great time killer, but a tad boring for me.

[GK Punk]

X-2 was awesome. So many people decided they hated the game before it even came out though.

[愛]

Man, I stood in the Gamestop for an hour waiting for them to get the game. I was reading the strategy guide until then. I was flipping through thinking "THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST FF EVER!" Then I took it home and played it, and I only played for a few hours before shutting it off. So I guess you can count FFX-2 as a disappointment.

[GK Punk]

But you don't count. You just suck.

Edit: Actually. I think one of the reasons it was recieved poorly was because people didn't know what to expect. They expected Final Fantasy X with a new story basically. But the engine was totally different. But there was a lot of people I talked to that hate the game because it's "The girl final fantasy game where you place dress up" and uh, no. not really.

[Barkworm]

"1000 no Kotoba" alone would be enough to warrant a purchase.

[愛]

Or you could just download the song and not bother with the game.

That's all there is to say.

Way to be unoriginal, Barkworm! You're losing your touch! Where's the racism?

[GK Punk]

I love you guys.

Ah screw you guys.

OK. Now you need to get out of our section, and this time I'm not joking. Leave and take your ignorant, unintelligent bullsh*t back to the TV section and complain about Miss Piggy not being on Sesame Street, despite the fact that no one gives a sh*t.

Racist tendencies only after 7 beers or more.

That's not a problem with the game. That's you, man.

*sigh* people are so cruel on here.

I was looking forward to playing X-2 when it came out. I've seen the commercial dozens of times (since WWE programs air promos of new game releases constantly -- sometimes twice in the same commercial break) and knew that it was going to feature the chicks more than the guys. When I first played it, I dug it for a while, got used to the battle system with the dancing and costumes and all, then when I got more into the story, I got tired and lost interest. It was a disappointment for me, but not a big one.

Also, hard to accept, Smackdown VS. Raw 2007 disappointed me greatly. I was excited to play it on the 360, expecting great gameplay and graphics. What I got was simply a shinier version of the PS2 version, with the only exceptions being the controls and that you can see the wrestlers sweat on their bodies.

Here are mine, I was very suprised to see I wasn't the only one who was disappointed with TP

Super Metroid: Supposedly the greatest Metroid game ever. I remember when I first played Super Smash Bros on 64 I had no idea who Samus was. Upon finding out about the Metroid series, I decided to give the first one a try. Got a copy for a nice price on ebay and absolutely loved the game I played for hours getting through it and going through again trying to find all the items. After that, I decided to give the 2nd game a try. Wasn't too impressed by it though but still enjoyed playing it. I then wanted to try Super Metroid after hearing about how good it was. However, due to how much it cost I put off buying it and went on to Zero Mission. Zero Mission was absolutely fantastic as well and gave me the drive to buy Super Metroid. I had heard it had great music and fantastic gameplay. Man, I couldn't disagree more with those people. The music was absolutely horrid in every area of the game I played in. It was just so dark and depressing sounding. It reminded me a lot of how odd the music was for Ridley and the boss music in the original Metroid. Second thing that pissed me off was bomb jumping. After playing Zero Mission I knew infinite bomb jumping existed and attempted to use it. In Zero Mission there is slight room for error when you try to gain height with bomb jumping. However in this crap your timing had to be absolutely flawless to gain any sort of height. Third came the annoying level designs. Every single area of the game would involve going into one room searching for items but then you'd fall through the invisible drop blocks and have to go back to the beginning or just fall into a completely new unrelated area and have to bomb jump back up or continue. Could not stand this game.

Chrono Trigger:
Once again one of the highly acclaimed great games. I got into the late PS1 era and had recently been playing through the Final Fantasy games. Then I started hearing about how great Chrono Trigger was and that it was the greatest RPG of all time and all this other crap. I decided to get a copy to try it out. I played through it and enjoyed it but one it was definitely far from how highly rated it is. For one thing, the battle system is extremely simple. Very limited stats and just your standard RPG setup of Attack Magic or Item. The only thing that really made Chrono Trigger "unique" was double and triple techs and the many endings which doesn't really affect gameplay anyway. I found much more stood out in the sequel which no one liked.

That's it for now
