What was the most disappointing game you ever bought

[Gerix]

Oh what was that stupid NES game that told your fortune, and had a sun face on the front? It was pretty damn bad. I mean seriously, a game that tells you fortunes....wow. I remember having that one, and chucking it around the room at one point. It wasnt worth the plastic it was encased in.


Found it. Taboo the sixth sense. LOL, yeah it was a tarot card game. I dont know how I ended up with it. Pretty lame. No one ever wanted tradesies on it, I couldnt get rid of it....it sucked.

This reminds me: I make a Video Ouija clone for the Pandora. The screen is a little small, but I think it would work with TV-Out. Plus, it would probably be the only game where wonky nubs made the game better.

I never got Ouija boards, if you had someone that was serious with you nothing happens.


Then again you get two people together that want something told it is pretty funny. A session between Susan and Janice:


Janice: "Who is better looking, me or Susan"


Susan: "Quit moving your hands it is going for the 'S'!"


Janice: "F#*& you it is trying to get to the 'J'!"


I don't think you can re-create that with software.

 

[Gerix]

Yeah, I imagine no one would play it. That's why it's been sitting on the backburner for so long. Mostly just something that came up while I was brainstorming unique ways of using the nubs.

Pokémon Snap. It was decent, while it lasted. But then there was nothing to do. I beat the game in a single day, and got all the high scoring pictures the next day. It was a big let down, especially since it was a birthday present from a cousin.

Susan is a F'in cheat.

Quite possibly, Hard Drivin' was the worst game I ever bought for my Commodore 64 and to rub salt in the wound I remember paying full price for it too:

That game is incomprehensible.

The music promised so much though... Awesome full-coloured car doing a jumpsie -> blue and yellow sick plus white noise.

Well, as the name says: It's hard to drive here

Didn't Domark make the 3d construction set too?

 

[eksasol]

I bought Breath of Fire V for PS2, which I thought it would have similar turn-based game rpg gameplay like III and IV, but turned out it was a dungeon crawler. Never finished it.


Also I have to mention Chrono Cross which is disappointing for me, but I like Yasunori Mitsuda music. The OST (original soundtrack) CD have horrible quality because of compression, that the "psf" songs I ripped from the original game disc was way better. I can say the same for a lot of other games unfortunately.


Breath of Fire IV gameplay is actually resemble Chrono Trigger more than Chrono Cross if you think about the combo concept.

Too true Interestingly, the graphic artist says that this was a rushed release as the first programmer gave up mid project, Hard drivin - c64 graphic artist


@mhaws,


Yes they did publish the C64 version of the 3D Contruction Kit.

For me it has to be Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on the Wii. I had just played through fantastic Resident Evil 4 and expected something just as good. I was shocked to find out it was a "train" game. The game moves your character for you while you shoot at random things that jump out at you. Total crap.

Yeah, also called rail shooters. I thought those were dead. D:

Crysis 2 was a bit dissapointing, didn't live up to my hopes

 

[RevBlackie]

Dead Rising. How do you screw up a survival horror zombie game set in a mall? Populate it with annoyingly necessary side missions, make taking pictures of things more important than bashing in the skulls of the living dead, and making every weapon you pick up breakable.

And in the process make the most addictive, satisfyingly open zombie game ever. Amazing fun, and one of my all-time favourite games on the 360. I'd rate it just a touch higher than Dead Rising 2, in fact.

I've not bought Duke Nukem Forever.

You dodged a diarrhea covered bullet there, matey
