Stalker 2
Not the worst, far from it, but Kingdom Hearts 3 just wasn't what a lot of people wanted it to be. Re:Mind definitely helped, but some issues were just baked in.
I remember being hyped for Zack Zero only to play the demo and it fucking sucked.
>>729350539I have a beefy PC so even the bad optimization didn't irk me, but the insane amount of bugs in the MAIN STORY missions was unforgivable. The final boss literally vanished and never returned...

>>729350481Dark Souls IIShin Megami Tensei V
Turtles in Time on the Xbox Live Arcade.I stayed up all night with my friends waiting for it to release only for it to be absolute dogshit. Not a remake of the SNES version, but instead the original Arcade. It was inferior to the SNES version entirely for this reason, aside from middling content.

Stellar Blade. Love the character design, graphics and music but playing the demo was not enjoyable at all.
>>729350675Honestly Ssb Brawl was the perfect middle ground of skill and ease of play. My little cousins and my big cousins all could play together and have tons of fun. I do wish the further sequels did increase quality a bit more.
>>729350821>DS3God I'm glad I'm not the only one, it's by far my least favorite soulsborne
After finishing the original I for sure thought KCD2 would be a day 1 instant collectors edition preorder for me. Haven't even bought let alone played it yet.
>>729350481Dragon's Dogma 2.Face scanning was a mistake
>>729350481starcraft 2>>729350539honorable mention
>>729350846Bayo3 and NMH3 are decent games but definitely not what I expected after how good 2 was for both series.
>>729350481this turned me on
>>729350481Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Except C77 I was kinda expecting something not great, but what actually came out was insane.
>>729350481Dungeon Keeper 3
>>729351171>Except C77 I was kinda expecting something not great, but what actually came out was insane.Worded it perfectly, no one with a brain expected gold after all the delays and fuckups and yet nobody could've imagined the shit they splattered on us.
>>729351171>Cyberpunk 2077this
>>729350481Oblivion and the first Silent Hill movie came out around the same time, I was extremely hyped for both, and they were both so bad that I stopped playing or caring about video games until I graduated college about 7 years later. Yes I'm an oldfag. Why am I still here? You'll be asking yourself the same question in 20 years.
>>729350481>the fucking santa party hatlol
>>729350981I didn’t like the demo either but enjoyed the combat in the full game more. It takes some time to get used to it, get some upgrades, and fight better bosses.>>729351116These hurt more because they were hyped with the original creators of the series returning, only for them to fall flat on their faces and show how out of touch they are.
>it didn't live up to the hypeb8niggers notice the lack of silksong itt
Half life 3OH WAIT
>>729350785>8-way facingWHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THIS SHIT WAS A GOOD IDEA
>>729350981i unironically almost didn't buy the game because of the demo but no more than an hour after the demo ends when you have another few skill points the combat feels waay better. i paid full price for the deluxe edition and still didn't regret buying it, first game i 100%ed in a long time
>>729350539Considering it was made during wartime and they lost devs to conscription, it’s still a decent game. Better than the other Stalker sequels.
>>729350481That's easy. It's Dragon's Dogma 2
>>729351428Silksong wasn't the worst thing ever, though. It was a serviceable sequel, albeit underwhelming and a little disappointing. I don't think any game could live up to its fans' expectations if it had the same hype Silksong had preceding its release.
>>729352039>Better than the other Stalker sequels.you saying stalker 2 is better than cop? lmao
>>729350481Stalker 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Cyberpunk are the most recent.Stalker 2 I still have some very minor hope for since they've been slowly adding more and more of the features I expected at launch, whereas with DD2 there's zero chance of it being improved despite its base to work off being excellent because Capcom exec's are a bunch of fucking retards and have abandoned it. Cyberpunk's release was also softened a bit because I saw a lot of the leaks a month in advance of it coming out and knew it was going to utter shit and dodged it. Still haven't bought it yet but probably will soon.
>>729350481>breath of the wildI cannot believe how bad n*ntendo fucked that one up.>metroid prime 4How much crack were they smoking to release that?
>>729350481Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 they made a sequel to an obscure RPG game with a cult audience full of 2000s nostalgia goths. And what does Paradox do? IDK maybe make an rpg with choice like BG3 and New Vegas because people like those games during the revival of 2000s media . Nah lets give the tools to a bunch of brit bong millennials that don't know what they're doing. Make it appeal to faggots from the 2010s with that shitty arkane art style and make it a linear fps with LESS CONTENT THAN A 2004 GAME .

>>729350481I don't know about myself, but I'd imagine Kingdom Hearts fans were pretty pissed with 3.

Ninja Gaiden 4 came and went and was rushed out the door. I was super hyped for TEKKEN 8 but it disappointed me with what they chose to focus on with all the stances and shiet. I learned Steve in TEKKEN 8 and made me sad at how much they were pushing lionheart when he was such a free-form character before. Atleast I had a few moments of Jack-8 shenanigan fun.
>>729355927It would be more popular if it had a fucking jump button.
>>729350481Nirvana Initiative was such absolute unfiltered garbage it made me realize I had put Uchikoshi up on a pedestal that he didn't deserve.

>>729358582Citystate Metropolis will save us.
>>729350481I thought Watch Dogs was going to be really cool
>>729356994oof i felt that, I just wanted built in multiplayer, I guess I can go fuck myself or wait a few years to play the same thing with cats (no thanks that totally defeats the realism side of things that interested me in the first place outside of "lol badly constructed snake rocket goes boom")
>>729358805This. I had to force myself to play 10 hours of Starfield when I played Fallout 4 for nearly 200 despite hating it.
>>729350481For me it was witcher 3. I even bought new PC mainly for it because previous was too old. And then game turns out to be absolute shit after Blood Baron quest line. I didn't like gameplay, didn't like plot, did't like quests, didn't like cutscenes. First DLC was cool, didn't play the second, was too tired from this game already at this point
It's the default state of gaming rn. I call it Molyneuxisation
>>729358887There's also KSP2 redux.
>>729351171After W3 I already knew that CDPR are bunch of hacks and didn't even waited for C77 and I was right about it in the end
Spore.I'm still mad.
>>729359076i was told ksp2 is dead dead.
>>729350481Silent Hill fI waited 13 years for a new SH, I didn't even had any expectations, I just wanted something that vaguely resembles the originals, at least in gameplay...well
>>729357514Holy fucking this. Except I found about it like two weeks before release so it wasn't really long awaited game, but I was pretty hyped, like first part. But this one was horrendous. And then Hundred Line just proved how actually hack he is
>>729350481Diablo iv is the biggest budget most soulless and boring arpg everat least sc2 was a really good game
Back 4 Blood taught me to never buy a multiplayer focused game on release week. fucking awful game, so shit
>>729359165On the official side, yeah. A bunch of modders got together to just rip it apart and put it back together from the ground up.
>>729350481
>>729359076>community madeyeah that doesn't count its like saying just mod ksp. consoles exist, inb4 elitism, I have a pc too. I want to play it on console with friends thus multiplayer. I wanted to build a colony in alpha centauri, and then grappler arm steal my friends satellites for the lulz. now I never will because game is dead and gone and never coming back.>>729359165>>729359282guess ill just build my own ksp2, with blackjack and hookers.
>>729350481"New" Wolfenstein series. RTCW was one of my first games and it's very sad to see how series ends
>>729350481Not my most hyped one, but it was definitely high there at the time
>>729359753why were you even looking forward to this one at all
>>729351083Surprised this was so low. I was bitter for months after this shit
>>729350481metal assault, a shitty f2p korean game I had played ~13 years ago. it had a fair amount of issues but was playable and fun at the time. but over time it got excessively bad with p2w items, no real content updates, and general poor management, as is expected of all f2p korean games. recently, some chinks bought the rights to the game. using google to poorly translate their website, it sounded like they were rebuilding the game from the ground up to fix the issues and create new content, for a global relaunch. I was fairly hyped since it was a comfort game for me during my formative years. but when they relaunched it, it was far worse then it had become back when it died. the core gameplay issues were even worse, the new content and revamps they advertised were canceled since they couldn't get them to work, and the p2w bullshit was cranked up to 11. I wasn't at all surprised, it was the logical conclusion. I just wanted to be hopeful for a bit.
>>729350481Thief 4. Now this was absolute tragedy>stalker2You wanna wait 2 years post release until it gets fixed by devs and mods. I dont blame you though, most of you dont remember the stalker 1 release

I'll never forget Platinum Games for what they did to Ninja Gaiden 4. Fuck those overrated motherfuckers. Shit is even worse than that Korra game they made years ago. Disgusting.

>>729350481Serious Sam 4i was hyped for that game since the first announcement and it had such a dogshit release it got memoryholed in less than a week
Honestly, DD2 is more like a sidegrade remake than a sequel. Not the best, not the worst. Could really use an expansion.
>>729350481It was definitely not my most hyped game, but Sun and Moon had a great marketing campaign and it looked like GF were responding to some of the criticisms of Gen 6And then the game came out, and it was even worse with the cutscenes, linearity and awful new characters than Gen 6, and even managed to fuck up the one flawless element of Gen 6, the online
>>729350481i was very hyped for tomb raider 2013, since then i have been very skeptic about new releases
>>729352039Maybe they shouldn't be hohol piggies then. THD
Dragon's Dogma 2 will forever be my disappointment of the decade. Legitimately felt dread as I was playing through it that it wasn't even close to par with Dark Arisen. Being part of the /v/ never-evers and the hype train didn't help it either.

>>729355386based>>729353637As someone whos only interaction with hollowknight/silksong until the release was the meme about how during every even there were trailers people would meme about 'and now for silksong'. I played hollow knight for the first time after silksong released and loved it, and then played silksong and thought it was probably one of the greatest sequels i've ever played in my life. But then again I have a friend that bitches constantly about the tool system, so to each their own i guess.
