What game got you excited but disappointed you a great deal when released?

[The Overseer]

Which game did you really liked and you had lots of expectations for, but then, when it came out, disappointed you to no end?

I would have to say The Order: 1886. There was so much hype surrounding that game and when it finally came out...

Aliens: Colonial Marines
I was really hyped for the game and pre-ordered it and played it on launch. Good god I could hardly believe what a trainwreck it was.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

I was expecting to like it sooooo much more at the time.

Also wasn't big on Aggressive Inline.

Mighty No 9! Seriously, it was going to be great! But they failed, they failed hard like a kid at prom...

Torchlight. It is not translated into my mother tongue 😞

Aliens: Colonial Marines, No Man's Sky and The Order: 1886 (though it looked AMAZING).

Dark Souls 2 😕 Still not such a bad game but was a downgrade since the first one. Thank got DS 3 came and washed everything away 😄

Watch Dogs - I was fully hyped about it and then when I got the game it was lacking so many things and I was severely disappointed. Yes, it wasn't all bad but the way they hyped up the game and the promises that devs made were over the top, to say the least.

Metrox exodus in 2019. Got me in pretty hype but it was kinda okay.

GTA Online. They sold it as an open world third person shooter, but all of the actual gameplay is in cooperative scenarios. The open world is like a minigame. There's sixty percent of a hundred dollars that I'll never see again.

Twilight Princess. While the graphics are beautiful, the gameplay just sucked. The storyline was boring, and the game just moved slow as hell with a just way too much nonsense in it. Total letdown.

I recently bought a game on steam that's in Alpha called Alchemy Garden. I was super excited for it, but for an alpha you have to pay to take part in, there's some pretty big bugs.

If we're talking about games that aren't still in the production process, I think I'd have to say... Rune Factory: Frontier. It's not a bad game overall, it just didn't really fit my expectations when thinking of the first three that I loved to bits.

I feel like sometimes, developers spend too long on graphics and forget to make the game. 😛 That seems to happen quite often. An alarming percentage of games that are released just feel unfinished.

Wrestlemania XIX for the Gamecube. It looked great but had horrible controls.

I think RPG like that didn't get much good response. It's pity.
