What Were Your Biggest Game Disappointments in 2007?

[GamerSince'76]

I didn't put this in the Game area as there is no General Gaming section.

Blacksite Area 51- This game could have been AAA. Instead it ended up a buggy mess. If you played the Demo, you played the best part of Blacksite. From Humvie's that float in the air to being able to walk right through a pickup truck, this is one game that should not have been released without major work to fix it's flaws.

Spiderman 3- From citizens that appear in thin air to buggy collision detection to a New York city that feels dead, Spiderman 3 is a huge step back in the series. The best Spiderman game was the original. Sure it was linear but it was done right. No filler, no junk. In Spiderman 2 a little girl would call out to save her balloon. C'mon Spidy, you must have at least one pocket in that suit. Pull out a buck and tell that whining twit to buy a new balloon. You have better things to do. In Spiderman 3, the whining brat was replaced with Mary Jane yelling for Spiderman to "Take me higher, higher, oh God higher". It's not a porn. It's a videogame. Next time leave the filler out and concentrate on the important aspects of the game. Like citizens that speak and more than one car with four different skins.

What are your biggest gaming disappointments? Vent here.

I don't know, because unless I was absolutely sure that the game I bought was going to be good - I didn't buy it. That's the good thing about a limited budget, eh?

I totally agree that Gears, Halo 3 and Mass Effect are great.

Gears came out over a year ago and there are newly released games that don't live up to Gears standards. Beating RAAM was one of my most satisfying gaming moments. Last year he got the better of me and I traded the game in frustration. This year Rest in Pieces.

With Halo 3 there is a very vocal minority that doesn't like the game. 52% of North American 360 owners have the game and I'm sure most realize how epic it is.

I got bored with Mass Effect and traded it. Then after owning and trading Assassin's Creed and Blacksite I realized how good Mass Effect is and the fact that I didn't give the game a fair chance. I'm really enjoying the game now and getting immersed in the story.

Another game that blows me away Is CoD4. Activision took a chance switching to modern times and they nailed it. I hope the reports of the next CoD going back to the WWII era are false.

I also hope to see Resident Evil and Silent Hill come out this year but they may not. GTA IV will be the game of 2008 IMHO.

Yup. I got rid off Mass Effect and bought it again.

Mass Effect was a disappointment for me. While I like to play RPG's such as WoW and what not, this game was boring and did not live up to any standards I wanted.

Halo 3 = Halo 2 on steroids. Once COD4 came out, I havent really touched Halo 3 at all. Much more satisfaction playing COD4. Yes, the story was good in Halo 3, but its been building to that point. And of course the story WILL continue in HALO 4. Just a matter of time. Online in Halo 3 was the same old Halo with a few extras tossed in and mostly the replay feature being the big new feature.

I enjoyed NHL 08, Lego Star Wars" TCS, Viva Pinata, COD4, Crackdown and quite a few others. I did like the SPiderman 3 game. Whlle some of the camera angles could be a but frustrating, and a few of the battles and missions repetitive, it was still a fun game.

All in all there are many games I liked this past year and there are some that have been disappinting. But I think we can all agree its been a great year for the 360.

[ChorusOfAngels]

The only game I got from 2007 that I was disappointed with was Halo 3. It's a decent game, but to be honest I think it just has so much hype and is so overrated. IMO I felt that they could have done so much more with the game, but they chose to keep it pretty much the same as Halo 2 but up the graphics. Kinda like they were almost afraid to change anything. Everybody has their own opinion though.

Every other game I've got from 2007 such as CoD4, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, I have no qualms about. I haven't gotten very far in Assassin's Creed yet but from what I've played so far it seems like it can get kind of repetitive.

COD4, Too short..

[Variation-XBA]

Not really much I was dissapointed about, because I generally don't go blindy buying games I know I wont like or havn't tried.

Honestly, Halo's MP was put to shame for me once COD4's online hit, which I wasn't expecting at all.

My biggest though, would have to be Splinter Cell being 2008, as I was looking forward to that the most right after Assassins

[GamerSince'76]

It's just that with the next Splinter Cell a lot has changed. Sam looks like a long haired hippie and there isn't as much hiding in the shadows (if any?). I'm sure some fans will be disappointed (as people are with any game). I just hope they bring back moral choices.

[Shawn-XBA]

Area 51 was a big disappointment for me. Could have been a great game.

The series needed something different and it's definetly due. Its like MGS, that's completely changing as well, so we'll see how it turns out.

Im REALLY hoping they do a great MP this time as good as Pandoras

YES! Spiderman 3 was a major disappointment. You nailed most of my issues there, but I was really expecting this game to be a lot better than it turned out to be.
