OP here, for me it was pic.
>majority of interesting enemies are nonexistent throughout the entire game
>the majority of the few that are present are only existent in one short mission in the beginning of the game
>horde doesn't even include the majority of the locust either
>campaign's ending just feels rushed, kait cuts her mom free and thats it, its not like her mom played a vital role, otherwise how did the swarm exist before her capture
>final boss is just a big beast that was braindead easy in terms of difficulty
>Jinn suddenly becomes irrelevant after their last encounter

I'm wondering if i'm just getting old and picking straws.

>>383363719
The dialogue was easily the worst in the series too, no character development, everyone was just quip machines.

Was I supposed to feel sorry for Kait when she had to kill her mom? The only interaction with her the entire game was just exchanging shitty jokes.

>>383363719
>I'm wondering if i'm just getting old and picking straws.

Gears seems very flawed to me, might be a bit of both tho.

Fury.

/v/ memed me into thinking it was some hype bullet hell action game.

refunded it after the 2nd boss. shit was boring. you had like what, 5 moves? then a walking simulator after beating a boss

Styx: Shards of Darkness

I really liked Master of Shadows in spite of it's problems.

Shard's levels are larger but don't even require you to sneak around a lot of the time since you can usually just take one of several alternative 'platforming' routes to the objectives. Plot is boring as shit again but it's more prominent and ends on a cliffhanger.

I suppose the last big disappointment was MGS5.

I didn't read any interviews and I just couldn't see how it was going to be GOTY

>Kojima actually wanted to make it
>Had 5 years of development time
>Trailers had high quality cinematics including Zero, Ocelot and Big Boss
>New meta narrative about America and it's approach to immigration and integration

Instead I got the final Fuck You to the fans from Kojima and the game wasn't even fucking finished.

>>383363371
MGSV. After slogging through the entire game I could not fucking believe the game ends without resolving what happened to baby liquid and mantis. I was absolutely baffled, I don't think I can ever recall buying a game where the ending just isn't fucking there. I felt cheated, all that time I spent faffing about the incredibly bland open world amounted to nothing.

levels are too long and enemies repeat until you're sick of them, even lifts some straight from bayonetta. how many goddamn times do they think want to punch a couple of cubes?
breaking up the monotony are shmup style levels which all suck and aren't what this game is supposed to be. it's like kamiya heard people complain about the shooter levels in bayonetta and said "fuck you here's six more"

the combat flow isn't matured at all, the battery meter is completely redundant since your actions are already limited by your squad size, it's just an extra layer of frustration and time waste when you get hit from off screen and have to rebuild from zero
weapon switching is total trash,the drawing mechanic stops working at the slightest obstacle and punishes you for trying to add variety
the camera is a complete failure, auto zooming in when you need an overview of the filed or obstructing the action with objects or HUD overlays
the dialog is endless and repetitive as well, it's like they're constantly stalling for time

The game is 50% VN and 50% Where's Waldo with occasional sparks of hack and slash gameplay. Should have dealyed it for another year.

Bravely Second and Street Fighter V

>>383364537
My gf really sucks at games with traditional input schemes but thanks to the touch controls we had a blast playing Kirby together.

Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I wasn't expecting much but I did enjoy the first game somewhat. The second was totally half-assed story wise and the entrie game had mechanics that felt useless in the context of the game.

I enjoyed the survival DLC more but only because you actually had to use the skills the game gave you. The main game was made to feel like a survival/uncharted game but there were points of tension on cliff edges that i realised wouldn't crumble away behind you, no matter how long you waited because the world had to stay open for exploration.

Something that really bugged me as well was the angle Lara held guns. I could stand behind a pillar so enemies couldn't shoot me but as long as the cursor was on them I could hit them. Lara's gun would be pointing at the pillar but that didn't matter. I was completely behind cover and could kill enemies safely.

I think the last game that I was actually hyped for and was actually really surprised and shocked to turn out awful was Fallout 3. Before that it was Oblivion, so really I could have seen that one comming. But I did not.

I have been very cautious and skeptical towards what I get ever since, and I don't think I was ever caught off-guard by a disappointing game ever sense.

Though I do have to admit that watching Homeworld: Shipbreakers turning into shit was disheartening, and most recently, I was sad to see that Space Engineers, a game that sounds so good on paper, is actually utter trash in the end.

Other than that, gaming industry is usually only surprising me in positive ways.

didn´t like the story at all (even if they had excluded all the sjws elements from it) and the level felt mostly like walking simulators. sure shooting was great when ever it occurred but there was just so little of it. most of the time you just walked around in ruins which looked kinda underwhelming compared to the locations you got to visit in uncharted 2 and 3 or you drove around in your cheap which felt more like going on safari then an adventure

>>383367594
For me it was the opposite. No looping was the biggest plus. Some jobs were taken out but new jobs were added. And the story was more enjoyable.

For gameplay I don't really have anything to say. It was more of the same that I enjoyed greatly.

MGSV and Bayo 2. Baffles me how people think it's better than 1. It's just the same game with less interesting bosses and more annoying characters

X Rebirth
Instead of expanding on what they had reached with the last iterations of X3 -Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude- and taking that to the 64 bit and multicore era, Egosoft quite literally took a giant leap over ten years back AND fucked that up so much it made the release state of TC look like a Swiss clockwork.

And they did that because they wanted to dig for console gold (on the 360, right before it was about to be phased out, no less), instead of sticking with their very firmly PC based fanbase. A fanbase they stonewalled about what they were doing, knowing full well what reaction "we're turning X into a console game" would have produced.
And no, I'm not trolling consolefags for (You)s here. Shittalking other platforms is just bants to me; what matters is good games.
The point is that a niche game series that I valued very highly has been very nearly killed by one of the most idiotically mistimed and straight up dishonest attempts at grabbing for more profitsss I've been subjected to in over twenty years of playing vidya on the PC. And I paid actual money for Battlecruiser 3000AD.

I keep X Rebirth in my Steam library to remind me never to preorder anything ever again.

>>383367112
The problem with the people making those complex block crafters like Space Engineers is that they tend to get caught up in fiddling with their systems forever and ever, and more or less forget to give the player something to actually do with all those neat systems.
But hey, can always slap some awful netcode on and declare it multiplayer focused.

>>383368515
>tfw you also preordered X:R because you thought there was no way they could fuck it up

I even defended it in threads when people were pointing out how it was already becoming casual (not being able to pilot any ship for example)

on the plus side egosoft has seriously learned their lesson and they've said their next X game will return to its traditional gameplay. Won't preorder it still but I will stay optimistic because egosoft seems to understand how badly they fucked up with X:R

My biggest disappointment ever was Empire:Total War. I was still an innocent child when it came out, it was filled with bugs, not even half of which were fixed (then they release Nap:TW), broken promises, went overboard with animations (hollywood-esque bayonet duels), parts of the game were downgrades from the previous ones. And all this, after a legacy of excellent games.

My most recent disappointment was Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, but it was a pretty tame disappointment. It just wasn't nowhere as good as Dark Descent.

Overall excitement died in this expansion. The whole, "Everyone is powerful!" idea grew pretty stale with this expac. Day 1 leveling was pretty sweet like it usually is, but when all there is to do is Garrison 2.0 and the same Raid on 4 tiers of difficulty and Dungeon on 17 different tiers then the routine gets old.

played this garbage with my brother and had fun the first hour fighting hordes of orcs, tired of it
tried quests and the campaign is literally 1 or 2 hours of game, and the quests arent even funny or difficult.

New Deus Ex, what a shit show

destiny was the last6 thing i really hyped
-no real open world
-no exploration
-dlc got announced before it got released

Mass Effect Andromeda is probably the most recent. Now, I don't think it's a terrible game or all that stupid repeated to death bullshit about it. I had fun playing it, but there were some story elements that really just made me scratch my head. As a lorefag it just made me feel like they gave up and slapped a Mass Effect paint-job over some game they already were working called Andromeda. You know how Star Fox Adventures wasn't a Star Fox game, or how Lords of Shadow wasn't meant to be a Castlevania title? In the same way those games let players who cared about story down, ME:A did for me.

It's odd because I had no expectations, on the surface anyway, but I still managed to be disappointed. I was on the fence about buying it, but after seeing some leaked footage of some French-Canadians diddling with the runes, I opted to give it a go.
By the time I got done exploring all I wanted to of Hyrule, I couldn't even bring myself to finish the last Divine Beast. It was hard to find a reason to boot up the game after 5 hours.

You should download the full OST, there are like 40 top tier tracks out of 200-220 (and I ain't talkin' about ambient minimalist compositions). I think the bigger issue was the context in which the OST was and wasn't used. There aren't any moments in the game worth playing some grand, epic score to. As chilling as Dark Beast Ganon's theme is and as appropriate as the moment is for that song specifically, it's still rendered moot by the fact that DBGanon is an interactive cutscene with no antagonistic qualities. Who would've thought that sealing ancient evils would feel like jobbing.

tl;dr Don't blame the composer for shitty sound direction/direction in general. BotW is forgettable as fuck, but I'll remember some of that music forever

In all honesty, there are some huge flaws in that game. They should have focused on a small cast and made the story more focused on them so you could see how the duality affected them. Or use the additional space of not having like 40 characters to add some more areas into the game.

Breath of the Wild.

Tedious is the word I'd use to describe most things. Without even needing to explain it I think everyone can understand when I say the cooking, temperature and durability systems are all tedious.

Compare it to something like Windwaker and the difference is clear. Although Windwaker does have some boring open world bits, they're 10 minutes between 1-3 hours of towns or dungeons which are unique and cool. Meanwhile Breath of the Wild was 10 minutes travel, 5-10 minutes in a shrine (which looked identical to the last), followed by 19 more minutes of travel. Towns were small and boring. They didn't have the lively atmosphere. Any sidequests were normally tedious and ubrewarding too.

Plus Windwaker looks gorgeous and Breath of the Wild is straight up hideous.

I'd say FFXV but I knew it was going to be weak. I expected it to be at least serviceable so it disappointed in that regard.

A better answer would be Nier Automata which, while enjoyable, underwhelmed with its slightly one-note plot points and tepid, albeit gorgeous, combat.

Don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion to not like DD. Personally I love DD and did enjoy Dark Souls. DD was just more fun to me, but Dark Souls had a much better presentation.

Mass effect was very flawed, but mass effect 2 did everything wrong to streamline it for casuals and waifu fags. Mass effect 3 helped shed light on just how bad its predecessor was.

>>383367096
This one for me too. Everyone was busting a nut over how much it was like the original and muh nostalgia and so I bought it.

Turns out they cut a lot of corners, even cut out some of the content from the original entirely. It was like Dead Rising 4 to DR1.

>>383370947
I understand and respect all your complaints as a person that likes it except one.

I don't understand the criticism of the soundtrack. I thought the absence of it at times a godsend. I would not have wanted to listen to the same music in the fields for hours over and over again. Having the occasional instrument string a recognizable tune and then stopping was good for me.

MGSV. I'm mostly over it now and can enjoy it for what it is, but still when it first came out I was fucking fuming over how much it was not what I wanted out of the final entry in the franchise and how unfinished it felt.

>>383373658
I can see your point, though I personally overall like ME2. The biggest problem with it to me was the fucking cast. It was too big and so everyone had to get watered down to fit. I still think all of the first trilogy should have been Shepard + Liara, Tali and Garrus. If they just had 4 people they could have always had them in the part with you and we would have had 3 whole fucking games to see their characters develop and grow, the friendship and connection between each other become more detailed over years of fighting a galactic war together. But no, make room for token black guy, token mexican guy and token japanese chick.

>>383369015
>The problem with the people making those complex block crafters like Space Engineers is that they tend to get caught up in fiddling with their systems forever and ever, and more or less forget to give the player something to actually do with all those neat systems.
I don't think that is the real problem. I mean: Factorio is very similar, it also has the end-game problem, but it's still well worth hundreds of hours to spend on.
The real problem of Space Engineers is that it's MESS. Mechanically, in U.I., basic systems - it's a terrible, terrible mess of game where almost nothing works or is convenient for the player. It lacks the extremely strict work discipline that Wube has: I suspect it's a mess code-wise too.

That is the real problem. Yeah: lack of meaningful goals is bad, but Space Engineers does not work even on more basic levels. Especially in the survival mode which is just one giant fucking waste of time. And it does not have to be.

The problem is purely on the side of developers being undisciplined and unfocused themselves.

>>383373703
>I would not have wanted to listen to the same music in the fields for hours over and over again
Plenty of open world games manage to have memorable soundtracks.

Red Dead Redemption, Oblivion, The Witcher 3, Xenoblade, etc.

>>383363371
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

DMC4:SE
the new characters were okay but I still only found myself going back to Vergil and Dante. The game should have just been an update for the original DMC4 and when you see what features DmC "Fixed" edition got it just makes it look lack luster in comparison.

>>383373901
RDR played songs and then stopped. It was also licensed music which definitely wouldn't have worked for BOTW.

Also I can't recall one Oblivion song clearly.

That's just me tho. I feel like really big worlds do better without it because it doesn't matter how good the song is, f you're spending 2 hours just walking from A to B, anything will get tiring. I'd rather there be long stretches of absolutely nothing.

Mgsv. I have never been so disappointed, not been so disappointed since

>>383367096
It's poor overall if you compare it to the original, but it looks great and plays really well.

>>383373703
Ideally there would've been unique themes played in this order;
>Soundscape > Regional Theme > Area Theme > Landmark Theme
Did the Hyrule Field theme get old after awhile? Of course. But I'll never forget it. On a semi-related note, music is very emotional. It can conjure feelings of Adventure, Heroism, Courage, Bravery, Sadness, etc... and notably it can and is often used to compensate for a lack of emotion in the actual context presented. By not using music to this advantage, what I call the Lucas Effect, then you have to take the feeling of the game at face value. A few simple themes to imply things like Adventure, Tragedy, and Malice would've compensated for the fact that LoZ's basic story structure and presentation is dogshit and has been for decades.
BotW doesn't really feel like anything is going on. You're walking in a field with a minute soundscape and some piano tuning going on. That's the extent of this "Adventure".

Being hyped isn't even fun anyway. Just don't do it.

I'll vent a bit

>SFV
This game maybe isn't shitty enough to call a "bad" game, but it is at very least mediocre, and flawed, and it failed to live up to expectations. SFV is a big letdown compared to it's predecessor USF4. I think SFV was enough of a blunder to ruin the prestige of the entire SF franchise.

>KOF14
I got super excited for this game, and I personally love how it plays, and I don't mind the graphics. However, everyone else shit on this game, online is a ghost town, and no one IRL wants to play me. I personally think this game is way better than SFV, but no one plays it. The disappointment was the public reception for this game.

>Magic Duels
This f2p version of MTG was flawed and janky, but I loved it, it was *my* jank. Then the game got discontinued so that WOTC could focus on their next project, leaving Magic Duels players with nothing to do in the meantime.

>Pathfinder adventures
I bought this game recently during a steam sale. This game is flavourfully very nice, but the gaemplay is literally RNG dicerolls, and getting "XCOM'd" ( "you have 99% chance to hit... you miss") makes me too salty to go on. I wasted $40 on this garbage.

Metro 2033

Everything about it looked fun but the story and linearity were just so boring to me I just quit caring and stopped playing it.

Gravity Rush, clunky as fuck gameplay

I witnessed the backlash this game received for months before I gave it a chance. I bought Fallout 4 for $25, and I pretty much knew what I was getting myself into. But man, I didn't think it would be that bad. The game felt like a shooting gallery with lousy gimmicks. I would feel mortified if I bought this at full price.

I'd probably say Persona 5. In all honesty, I don't think it's a bad game or anything but I was trying to really think about it and it probably has something to do with where I was in life when Persona 4 came out to now. I mean shit, I played it around 8 years. Was a very different time and I could really relate with the whole high school setting and what the protagonists were feeling. Now that I work and have other responsibilities, I just can't relate to any of their struggles and attitudes in Persona 5. I guess I'm just past that. It's definitely a me sort of thing, but can't say It wasn't disappointing that I wasn't able to get sucked into the world like I was able to last time /blogpost

And this goes on for hours and hours and hours. What happened to the old DOOM maps where you could run all over the place? This game looks pretty and runs smooth, but it feels like a chore, plus 64gb because of data duplication so consoles can play the first map while the rest of the game is installing - I hate this new shit devs are doing. Look at Fallout 4, 30gb and the game looks like ass by 2009 standards.

It was Fallout 4 for me. I didn't defend it, but I thought I could at LEAST get a satisfying ending out of it. Instead I got a lame explosion on a shitty rooftop with shitty, Skyrim-skeleton NPCs who mutter some shitty dialogue and then immediately return to their usual routines. Even the wrap-up cutscene was PATHETIC compared to New Vegas' 100-something different slides and reads. Really painful.

This piece of shit. It's so bland and one of the very few games I've never finished and dropped midway. Killing the machines is fun for the first few times but then you start to actively try to avoid all fights because they're extremely boring. All my friends praised the shit out of it so I was looking forward to it but I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm an idort and have played many superior open world games that do it a million times better but jesus, even I'd expect normies to see it's a more boring version of The Witcher 3

XCOM2 for me.
Finished the game on Legend Ironman and never looked back, wanted to give it a wirl after Long War 2 came out but I just couldn't.

>>383363371
Fallout 4. Nothing about the game was enjoyable. I didn't get far from the starting town because everything just felt so boring. The settlement building gimmick just felt tacked on and wasn't fleshed out enough to be fun. What they did with perks and having no skills was pretty much the nail in the coffin for me.

>>383380617
There was nothing wrong with defending initially, I mean fallout 4 only showed the parts that were good in the game, like the combat and power armor feeling more than just generic combat armor apparel. But yeah it's a horrible game everywhere else.

Ever since Oblivion I can't get 'disappointed' by Bethesda games because I have no expectations for them, but Fallout 4 is the first that has almost no redeeming quality. Good god the game world is fucking boring.

FFXV. Should've known. I was so torn over whether or not to finally get it. All the evidence was there but I wanted to believe, especially after the 'bros on a roadtrip is comfy'-type comments occasionally peddled around here. But no, it really was just as bad as people said. What did they do to this once great series?

Also The Last Guardian. It got good towards the end when the relationship between the boy and the beast was well established. Some great feels, especially having been a pet owner as a child. But fuck. me. is the game slow, boring and awkward to play, for hours and hours. They totally forgot to make the game enjoyable.

I personally loved it, but thats because I lived in Hawaii for quite some time and the references and culture influence blinded me a bit.

It's still better than X/Y and OR/AS by fucking MILES .

The overall game play changes were kind of ... hit or miss, trials were neat, but I think I like gyms just a tad bit better, but things like making the Pokemon League, you being the first champion, new challengers every time, were all pretty cool additions.

Though I still think BW2 and HGSS were the best in the series.

>>383383762

JC2 hasn't aged well (its original appeal was that it was the only open-world PC game to not run like shit), the other games in the series were bad from the start.
