"I did a search and found no existing thread. Might have used the wrong tags of course. Anyway:
Tell me about games that was extremely hyped - be it by the community or only by yourself - that failed. Please motivate why as well.
*Diablo 3: Seeing the old gameplay videos back in 2008 I was really looking forward to this game. Now I've like 200h gameplay and haven't played since August. There were so many things that failed.
*Duke Nukem Forever: I really longed for this game for over 10 years, and when it finally finished - it svcked. All about porm and no guns, well there were guns but I couldn't have them all at the same time!
*RE6: I was really hyped about this, having a modern RE where we could aim and walk normally. I figured a Dead Space-like shooter with tons of horror and suspense. All I got was these stupid QTEs and nice custcenes. Nice -if I wanted to watch a movie."
Keep it civil, as we did in the first thread.
I'll define "failed" more properly:
*If YOU were overly hyped over a game that you longed for, and it didn't live up to your expecations, it's considered a failiure in this thread. I want to know WHY that game failed you.
*If the game was overly hyped by the media and community but didn't deliver to it's fanbase tell me about it. I haven't heard about every game that failed majorly so enlighten me what to avoid.
If you disagree with a "failure" you are free to say so, but don't bash anyone else for not liking the same games as you. If Diablo 3 failed in my eyes, that's my opinion, you may have a different one. Don't argue about specific games here as the thread will derail.
