For me it is either Mass Effect 3 or the Mass Effect A.

I was disappointed by both games. Mass Effect 3s ending gets a lot of criticism, but the whole game had problems. It had some emotional scenes, but the main plot was weak. We were supposed to build a device that could somehow stop the Reapers, but we didnt know what it was or how it worked. It made no sense to waste resources on such a vague plan. And the beginning of Mass Effect 3 ignored the events of Mass Effect 2, it is also like that game didn't matter. Then Vega what the hell, throw him out the airlock please.

Mass Effect A. Just everything about it.

And oddly I still can't wait to play the next game that they come up with.

Viewtiful Joe 3.

As for games that actually came out, it's a toss up between everything I got my hopes up for or expressed interest in over the last decade.

the first Watch Dogs.

at the time of its reveal, I still allowed myself to get hyped for stuff, and seeing its previews, it looked really next gen (at the time) and innovative.

when it came out, it was just a generic open-world game, with an interesting gimmick, but with a boring narrative, and an edgelord protagonist.

ever since then, even if I was looking forward to something, I would keep my expectations in check

No Man's Sky perhaps? I didn't play it until it came to Xbox One but even then after loads of updates it was nothing like the original game they talked about.

I've never really been disappointed with a game I was invested in or bought day one or anything though.

Probably Tekken 6.
I just can't get into it despite pretty competitive on all previous titles, and left the whole series now. Not even interested in 8 at all.

I'm about 80% into the game (according to the PS5), and while I'm enjoying it, it's not balanced very well, IMO.

like, there are times where the action feels like it goes on too long, and there are times when minor story elements go on too long.

it also feels pretty padded out.

Devil May Cry 2.

The first game was a freaking masterpiece, then you load up this heap of garbage and the badass, sarcastic as fuck demon slayer doesn't even talk? He's just brooding and silent? If I remember right he literally flips a coin to decide whether to help or not.

Maybe it gets better as it goes on, but I only rented it, and didn't care enough to rent it for a second week. To this day it's the only DMC game I didn't like.

I remember when I had an operation as a kid, my mom let me choose between Diddy Kong Racing and Yoshi's Story as a get well gift. I chose Yoshi's Story.

It was one of the worst decisions in my life that I still regret to this day >_> That game SUCKED! I'm lucky my weak body didn't drift towards the light after playing that game.

The story for Mass Effect 3 was fine. The main Reaper story wasn't really that great or engaging. The best part of the trilogy was the characters, especially your squadmates. You spend more time with them and doing side quests, than you do with the main quest. Most everything outside of the main storyline is pretty damn good and entertaining.

Andromeda was fine. Would've like to see a sequel or two just to get that game's storyline and mysteries wrapped up. Though we're supposed to get some more of Andromeda in the upcoming Mass Effect 4 game.

Fable 2 was a decent game, but a poor follow-up to the original. I couldn't play more than an hour of 3.

Yep. Every "dungeon" is the same. Walk down a linear path, fight horde, walk, fight horde, cutscene, walk, boss, walk, horde, walk, cutscene, big boss, cutscene. The whole thing takes over an hour and you can just spam the same abilities and combos the whole time with no differing tactics. Otherwise, it is like half blah, blah, blah.

Plus, the game has pretty much zero customization and options other than which abilities you use. And the side quests are waaaaaay too talky.

The whole thing is an interactive movie. People say that about a lot of Sony made games and I think that is ridiculous, but this game truly is.

tbh, it's the first Final Fantasy that I've played for any extended amount of time, so I just assumed that's how the structure of the games in the series were like (outside of the action based combat), lol.

but yea, I don't necessarily mind interactive movies, if I know what I'm getting into, but for an RPG, it's pretty disappointing.

Vampyr: Some really good ideas, but very poor execution.

BioShock Infinite: Columbia is no rapture.

Cyberpunk 2077: Aside from the technical issues, the quest design and world were surprisingly mediocre considering these were the same folks that designed the amazing quests in Witcher 3.

That game would have been so much better without the strict timer. I just wanted to dispatch zombies in cool ways, not sprint to and from objectives over and over.

Usually for me. It's every Grand Theft Auto game that's gets super hyped by gaming media as being the best thing since slice bread. I buy it and play it for a while. Once I get through the main storyline missions and any side quests I'm done with the game.

I have no desire to go back and play through the main missions. By the time I've reached the end I've done every fun thing I could think of, and have explored all of the map. The Grand Theft Auto games just get boring after that, because they lack content in them. Yet, articles on Grand Theft Auto 5 still get pushed out to this day by the video game media. That game came out ages ago. I know the casuals love that game, and the devs put out new multiplayer content from time to time, but enough with all the coverage.

I'm pretty sure Dead Rising 2 has an infinite mode you can unlock. That allows you to play the game without a timer and any objectives.
