Most Disappointing Games

What was promised was the greatest RPG ever with a high level of character development. What was delivered was a short hack'n'slash action game where your decisions had no real effect on the story, and the changes to your character were mostly cosmetic.

I knew this game was in trouble the minute they dumped coop gameplay. But they also dumped the seamless world, vehicles, and had horrible gameplay. Sure, there were over half a dozen different endings, but they were all bad...

What was promised was a large open world with infinite draw distance and the ability to play any way you wanted against intelligent opponents. What we got was pretty, but it was also still linear, had massive hardware requirements, and was filled with opponents who reminded me more of insane difficulty quake bots than of humans.

Ahh, where to begin? Let's just say that the complete D&D experience in a box turned out to be a mediocre RPG with a powerful editor that still couldn't overcome the many limitations of the game engine.

Maybe they didn't really promise much with this one, but I feel it was kind of implied that it would attempt to accomplish more of what the original had tried to do. Instead, the toolset was almost completely diferent than the original (in a bad way), and the game did not address most of the shortcomings of the original, such as being able to climb, jump, swim, or do anything in true 3D.

Spider-man 2 was awesome, but they took several large steps BACK when they made this one. Camera sucks, spider-sense is terrible, and the mini-game-like stuff is either slow and boring or far too difficult.
