What's Your Most Disappointing Game?

I have many candidates.These should probably be in a "worst games of all time" thread but.....

DeerHunter-not even a diehard hunter could like this.Sit in a frigging tree and blow a horn and shake a rattle.Oooo..there comes a deer..pow...umm..repeat.I am absolutely amazed this title has made to version #5.

BattleChess..do I really need to say anything?..horrible animations of characters impaling each other..just an awful game.I'll bet you never heard of it.

WrestleMania(original nintendo version)...this looked like it was done by babies.Even for the day.Horrible play control..no check that..no play control combined with terrible music made this a huge waste of $.Played it maybe 5 minutes.That was more than enough.

CtP...whoa..what happened here?..I'm sure glad that was not my first "civ" game.I wouldn't be making this post thats for sure..not here.

A-10 Cuba or something..if you could fly in that game,you should be doing something with NASA.That was so bad it went straight freeware.It did look good as your A-10 inevitably met a firey demise by slamming into the ground.


I could go for awhile but I'll stop here with my all time worst game.A recent edition that has lowered the bar to an alltime low:
Survivor:The Interactive Game
:o yes,I bought this...this..I don't know what to call it.The hardest part of this jumbled set of files is getting it to run.But when you do,you wish you hadn't :D

I know I've missed some real stinkers.....
 
Panzer General 3D Assault... ugh...

Steel Panthers: WAW... no matter how hard I tried, I could not get into this game...

WWF Attitude... horrible execution, myriad of bugs, choppiness... bleh...

Yes, I have heard of it and even played it. And I do admit it was terrible. :)
 
I played? Battlecheese once or twice - it must have been a freebie of some sort. Not the worst though:cry: that title would have to go to Ea Cricket 96 think it was. Even worse than the year before. I've got a good un though now- Icc2.:)
 
3rd Millenium - I don't think even the game designers knew how to play this game! Although for some strange reason it came in three different CDs. One for English accent, another for Scottish accent and the last for Welsh accent.
 
How about the Big brother game? Or Plumbers don't wear ties?

Note: I have never played these, just going on other poeple's opinions.
 
Conquest of The New World Deluxe Edition. The game crashes anytime after say 60 or 70 turns. There's no way to get you saved game back. It overwrites your save every turn and you can't turn it off. If you overwrite the name it starts saving with the new name. Really frustrating when you invest so much time only to have the game crash. I've tried it on several different systems, always the same. Go to the website and you find.."no patch needed". Disappointing because it has the potential to be a really good game.
Another was for my old sega. Dungeons and Dragons pool of radiance I do believe. 70$ I spent on that crap. Beat it in like 7 hours no lie. Was really suprising, My Gf was out shopping and I told her to pickup the hintbook for me because I thought I was missing important things, 20 minutes after she left the game was over. I know it said on the box something to the effect 80 hours minimum to complete.
 
most definitely has to be infantry. it was a free, online rpg game by sony that was originally made by a smaller company that went bankrupt. the graphics werent great... but it was a really addicitve game. It was great fun for many years, problem is the greedy sony bastards made it pay to play. $7 per month is a rip for it so that is now my most disappointing game. Before it was Delta Force... there were way too many cheats and way too much lag on the game. Repetitive missions, bad graphics, not much of a storyline. They have improved it a little bit more in Delta Force Land Warrior. Only problem is the AI in single player is still horribly stupid and is nowhere near any that can be encountered in its fellow shoot'em up games.
 
I'd say that I was most let down by Dragon Warrior 5 (though the fact that I didn't get to play it until a half dozen years after it was produced, and then only on a computer emulation, may have a part to play in that).

Damn, what was wrong with it?The last one I played was 4 on the NES as that was the last Enix released over here (USA) for a long time.
 
I think the problem was that I expected too much. I use to get their (Enix's) newletter, and they were talking it up, saying they were bringing the background back in battles and such, so I was excited, and then they said that they weren't gonna release it state-side.. so all those years I waited for a translation. And then I played it, and it just didn't live up to my lofty expectations. There were some cool parts to it, at first using monsters as allies was sorta cool (much cooler than the first chapter in DW4), and it was cool to decide which monsters to keep and which to leave behind. After a while though I wished I could have had created characters (that's one thing I loved so much about DW3). That's just one example, but I think it pretty much sums up the whole experience for me. At first it was cool, but then after a while I sorta realised that it was a step backwards from DW 3 and 4. I guess the game wasn't bad in itself, it just didn't live up to (my) expectations.

(you could probably find a copy fairly quickly searching with google, though I don't know the legalities regarding having a copy of a game in a country that it was never released in.)
 
return to castle wolfenstein.
it is far too easy and too short.
i played the game on highest difficulty in like 7 hours of so
edit:oh yes palehorse im a master..
always nr1 in counter strike and multiplayer wolfenstein
i have often in counter strike 25-0 and i dont cheat!!!
:D
 
I guess philippe must be a master Dell b/c I found the ame challenging on normal difficulty....or I would like to think that it is b/c my computer is slow and thus slows down my reactions. :D

I am sure it is technically not-quite-legal. I will have to look for it though. :D Is it in English?
 
that is what I thought GK, but since Paradõsis is in PA I was hoping he only read Englsih and I would have a chance at playing it. :)

and if it was in japanese then it wasn't NES, it was Famicom. :p ;)
 
There is an English Translation patch for it floating around the net... Here's some screen shots from dejap.com...

(It says partial translations on the fist screenshot, but the DW5 translation is a complete one)
