StaceyPowers Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 When No Man's Sky came out, lots of gamers declared it was a terrible letdown--to the point where I think a lot of gamers since have acknowledged that it wasn't a bad game--it just failed to live up to the hype. What games have you been most let down by in terms of expectations versus reality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Black Ops 4 so far. It was a letdown to me when it was announced. Playing it hasn't changed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Easily Aliens Colonial Marines. Gearbox literally had an open goal with that IP and they bloody scuppered it. What a wasted opportunity. Abysmal game. Edited October 17, 2018 by DylanC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joant73 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Shadow of War was a bit of a let down for me. I loved Shadow of Mordor but the second one just felt like more of the same, didn't really see many improvements. Still fun I was just hoping for more.

Was really put off by all the micro transaction shenanigans WB focused on for the sequel so never got around to playing Shadow Of War. May pick it up in a sale down the line. The Nemesis system was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nemesis system was awesome. Expand If you can get it for cheap it is probably worth it, still a fun game. And yea the Nemesis system is really cool, definitely a fun concept. AC Odyssey does something kind of similar with their mercenary system, so its cool to see that system working its way into other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
