Topic	What was the most disappointing game you've ever played?
trdl23 09/02/17 4:37:45 AM #97:	You know, I was going to say Kingdom Hearts because, well, everyone knows my relationship with that franchise, but... now that it's been mentioned, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn takes it. I absolutely ADORED Golden Sun as a kid. I hadn't yet graduated to Final Fantasy-level RPGs, but it was pure fun. The puzzles were a unique touch of using your characters' magic to solve them, sometimes even requiring a re-spec to get the right spell (sup Growth). The class system was fun and had lots of variables; the Djinn allowed your battle strategy to throttle how high you wanted your risk and reward. It was a solid game, though the story was kind of formulaic, it was damn fun. The Lost Age was pretty great, even looking back now. It took everything from the first game and ratcheted it up. The progression felt genuine. The characters were more fleshed out. The story actually had some pretty great twists! Again, not FF6-tier, but quite solid. The exploration, particularly toward the end of the game, was wonderful, as were the secrets and optional bosses. Transferring my data from GS1 to GS2 really sealed the experience for me. And then Dark Dawn happened, and I was excited to visit this world again. And it just... was bland. Everything that I felt I had earned in The Lost Age was just given to me in Dark Dawn because it was part of the formula. They blatantly reused assets and characters without even trying anything novel. Even the optional superbosses were EXACTLY the same from The Lost Age. In the second half of the game, the Dark enemies just cough up EXP like candy despite only a mild difficulty increase. They just phoned it in, and now there's no chance we'll ever get a proper ending. Plus, as mentioned above, the main quest gets sent on a bus near the beginning when a side quest hijacks the game, only for an obnoxious "stinger" at the end of that the main quest from the beginning has gotten worse due to said hijacking. Fuck Dark Dawn, and fuck I want a good Golden Sun game again. --- E come vivo? Vivo!
