Topic	What was the most disappointing game you've ever played?

I was tempted to say Suikoden 3, but I didn't want to make sound like I thought it was a bad game, which I don't. Well, disappointing doesn't necessarily mean bad. It just means it wasn't as good as you hoped it would be. Yea I know but Suikoden 3 gets a lot more flak than it deserves. By no means would I put it anywhere near the level of 2, but I feel like a lot of the negativity it gets is just because it followed 2 and was so different and if it didn't bare the Suikoden name it wouldn't have been looked down on so much. Really that's where the huge disappointment for me came into play as I had recently come off playing Suikoden 1 and 2 for the first time and was expecting more of the same but potentially better and they were very different, so much so that I almost quit playing the game about an hour in. Leonhart4 posted... Oh hey, since we've been taking about Mario RPGs lately, was the Mario & Luigi/Paper Mario crossover one any good? It felt like that one came and went with no fanfare. Funny you should ask about that as I actually just completed this game last night. To be honest I thought the story was nothing but wasted potential but the actual gameplay was pretty fun. It is great to see the characters from their separate worlds interact with each other but it never amounts to what it could and should have. The plot does obviously put a huge emphasis on the paper aspect but it's really hard to explain what was so disappointing about it without you playing it yourself. So I guess as far as story goes, don't go into it with any expectations because it's a very simple and basic story. Gameplay on the other hand was a lot of fun for me. I loved having 3 characters in battle and the fact that paper mario felt different from the others in the way he played. A lot of the actual mechanics in the battles themselves was pretty enjoyable to figure out/overcome. I also hear some people complain about the "quests" in this game but I actually enjoyed them and I won't spoil anything about it here. The only downside I saw to the gameplay was the Papercraft Battles which is this things "signature" new battle type much like how Dream Team had the giant Luigi. Personally, I didn't like the Papercraft Battles at all, but thankfully they don't take up a lot of time. Overall, I wouldn't say it's the best of the Mario and Luigi series, but definitely not the worst either. I'd give it a shot. If you can just get past the story itself not ever coming close to what it should have been I think you'll enjoy it. --- 1st Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2nd Year OMG FF7 Always Wins. 3rd Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2101st Year OMG CATS Always Wins. <cite>The Utility Man posted [p:885952458] in What was t...
