Diablo 3 and Mass Affect Andromeda

Mass Effect Andromeda was a rough one.

Mount and Blade Bannerlord.

I love it and hate it in equal measure. One game that makes me feel like a crack head this.

X-Rebirth from Egosoft. I lovingly refer to it now as "X-Afterbirth".

The CEO gave out no review copies prior to release, and the only media we were given was hand-crafted from the company, showing only what they wanted to show. It was their first game (same IP) after the X3 series, so everyone was hyped for it, not being an iteration of that series. New shiny graphics, and a universe of possibilities.

It ran so poorly I was stunned. And you could only fly one ship - in the X3 series you could buy or capture virtually any ship and outfit/fly it yourself. Just about everything was worse in one way or another for hardcore X fans.

They clearly didn't have access to the same team members that helped write the X3's, and it showed. But all the pre-release media covered that up and showed the game in a highly positive light. Biggest letdown and gaming failure I've seen and been a part of as an owner.

===================

The Sims 4 takes runner-up seat to X-Rebirth. They removed more in that game than I even thought possible. No open worlds, no neighborhoods, no pets, basically just a shell of a game they'd later re-package into dozens of different DLCs. Fortunately I didn't purchase it.

Star Control: Origins.

Nostalgia is never a good idea to buy. Bad modern mobile game ideas and implementation.

I don't know, I don't really see games that way, games are more like food to me, I savour the good ones and move on from the bad ones till the next interesting one.

This.
Also, I'm pretty bad at rating things like "top 10" - I can tell you a list of games or musicians I liked, but I can't single one out as "best" or put them in a particular order.


That said. . . hmm, "biggest disappointment" probably has to include expectations - if you didn't expect much/anything from a game, it totally failing to click with you isn't that big a disappointment, is it?

So the one Piranha Bytes game I tried (Risen 2?) wasn't a "big disappointment" because it was a cheap experiment, even though I really didn't enjoy the part I played at all.

Witcher 1, maybe? I barely was able to drag myself through that one by trying to collect those dumb sex cards - I disliked the characters, especially Geralt, and wasn't compelled by the "oooh, look how Dark and Mature we are!" story. /eyeroll


. . . ooh, I know. Wolcen and Torchlight III. Two incredibly mediocre Diablo-likes. Torchlight III especially, since the previous 2 games were really good.

And Sacred 3, even though I never got it, just because it utterly trashed the franchise started by Sacred 1 and 2. (Front Mission Evolved, for similar reasons.)

BG3

[Wrangler]

CIV V, they changed so much about the game I lost interest.

Dead Rising 4, it would supposed to be the successor to the original Dead Rising. It was more like the red headed step child of the original.

[Apoloyn]

Master of Orion III

Anybody remember or played that game? lol

[JefferyNothing]

Shenmue 3

[LordKuraba]

I don't know which is worse so here is my Unholy Trinity of Disappointment:

Mass Effect 3 - All that buildup for one of the most disappointing endings in gaming history.
Dragon Age 2 - People think Starfield is repetitive!?
Dead Space 3 - Twilight in space.

[Sylph]

recently would be Jedi Survivor and Starfield
