Disappointments in Gaming

[Remolay]

Sonic Adventure 2:

Or more I played it, thought it was terrible, and now I don't stop hearing about how awesome it was. And even better than Sonic Adventure 1. Listen. I like most Sonic games, even the 3D recent "Crappy" ones. I like Sonic Labyrinth for gods sake because I actually know how to play it. Nothing is better than Sonic Adventure 1 in the 3d Sonics. In the main series of Sonic Game, Sonic Adventure 2 was a sing step above Sonic 06 for me. A Single Step.

I can't say Sonic and the Secret Rings disappointed me because I wasn't expecting anything there.

Also, Sly Cooper. I can't play Sly Cooper. I try to play it and I can't get anywhere. I don't not like games that require me to be stealthy, but Sly made it feel all wrong. I'm still hearing so much about people loving it, so I'm seeing about revisiting it to see if anything has changed.

Sonic Adventure was absolutely terrible and I have no idea why people defend it.

Sonic Adventure 2 was better, but still flawed.

Sonic Heroes was a return to pure shit.

Shadow the Hedgehog continued the trend.

Sonic '06 was a step BACK from shit. How such a thing is possible, I don't know.

Sonic & the Secret Rings was... an experiment. That failed. HARD.

Sonic Unleashed was half decent. And half shit. Guess which bits were which.

Sonic Generations was mostly decent (and a little bit shit).

And next... I dunno. More mostly decent? Here's hoping.

Sonic and the Secret Rings was awesome, as was Sonic Colors.

[Darth Marsden]

Secret Rings was an interesting game that took ages to get good - from what I hear, anyway. I never got that far.

Ahhhh well then you never reached the epic last battle

I agree on Colors, but Secret Rings was terrible, absolutely terrible. Putting Sonic on a rail and NOT LETTING HIM TURN AT ALL was stupid. Oops, I missed something, guess I better back up, whoops, I hit something, there went my rings. Black Knight was hardly any better. The only things those games had going for them was that they were very damn pretty. Some of the prettiest visuals on the Wii.

Main reason it is popular is the chao garden :P I remember the gardens, stats of a chao, the races, the karate matches, etc... For the actual game... there was a scene were a car chases you...

Sonic the Hedgehog 4. After the release of Mega Man 9, I wished that Sega would follow suit and do a Sonic 4. I got my wish in name only, because while I wanted a retro-style Sonic in the 16-bit style of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, with a similar graphics style and physics engine, I got...well, Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

That's what made it good, you were constantly moving forward!

To me, that's what made it bad.

EDIT: In fact, my test to see whether I'll like a Sonic game or not now is, as soon as the level starts, I drop the controller.

I'm not sure what games disappointed me but i would say The Sims 3. I got the PS3 version of Sims 3 but i feel Sims 2 is far better.

These are games I hate.

Games I don't hate, whose wasted potential weights heavily on my soul:





and



...'s single-player campaign. Which is awful.

Curse is one of my favorite games. And one of the first adventure games I played and constantly makes me laugh.

Now I've pretty much given up on the idea of finishing it, yet I won't uninstall it just in case I want to try it again.

To be fair, you really gotta get through the first few hours of Mass Effect before it starts getting good (every time I replay it, I wish I could skip the whole Citadel sequence).

My biggest gaming disappointments have been nearly all James Bond games. I don't know why it's so hard for developers to make good James Bond games. It should be so easy, it's a franchise that seems tailor-made for good videogames.

Weirdly that's probably the bit I like the most. The furthest I got was getting Liara, during my first play through on the 360. Never played that version again and eventually sold/traded it. Got it again on the PC during a Steam sale but I've yet to get that far again. I do all the start and Citadel bit then just stop after doing a couple of side missions. That may be part of the problem. I'm a completionist when it comes to side quests, I have to do all that I can and I usually try to do as many as I can before I get into a main questline.

I got bored trying to play and ordered a Tab.
