Have you ever bought a game based on hype and ended up hating it?
Luckily thats never happened to me.

Sure have. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It was hyped like a motherfucker, and I liked the demo. I can not stand the game.
Still have it, though.

Suikoden III.
Got good reviews, and it's Suikoden!
...with everything good about the series taken out.
Soul Calibur 2. I was suckered into the hype, played the crap out of it for a month..then i got bored with it and felt the first on Dreamcast was way better
The first grandia for saturn was my favorite rpg of all time and i loved it to death. I was so hyped about the second one i order the limited edition dreamcast import just to play it early. Though when i got the u.s version finally i was kind of dissapointed in it. I don't know maybe because it was only 20 hours or the battle system and story warn't as good as the first one but it didn't feel the same.
An odd part about that game was their was a dungeon named Durham cave. Seeing as my last name is Durham i found it kind of funny.
Tradegamesnow and GameTZ feedback.
Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time. I didn't really hate it when I got it, I was just disappointed that it wasn't as fun as the previous Zelda games, IMO.
Auto Modellista for the PS2.
It sure was nice to look at and it had some real nice features above and beyond most racing games but I still can't believe how bad the physics in that game are. CHRIKEY!
Two of the worst games I've ever played which were released the same week and all my coworkers were talking about and I heard great things about them:
F-Zero GX
Soul Calibur II
F-Zero GX just did not click with me at ALL.
Soul Calibur II had a TERRIBLY boring unlocking mode and the game was just pretty blah. Oh yeah, and you CANT USE LIZARD IN SINGLE PLAYER. He was my best character. Ring outs every damn round. Fear the Lizard.
Def Jam Vendetta......only game i never kept....i had my friend at eb take it back as defective and he gave me a copy and left it sealed so i could return it
had to be one of the worst games i have ever played....and i love rap music so i thought it would be amazing....

I`d have to say metal gear solid and later games of the series
Sims Bustin' Out.. I found out, I don't like Sims games as much as I used to.
Viewtiful Joe... Bah.. Just don't feel like playing again after the first time.
Tall: Infinity... I can't get into it.
Poor Metal Gear Solid. Them cyborg ninja and former-KGB-member psychics just can't get no love.
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes - this game was missing something....something...oh yeah, fun.
GTA: Vice City - same damn game, same shitty graphics. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and (still black) Michael Jackson couldn't save this one from being just mediocre to me.
F-Zero GX - for all the praise this one had heaped on it, it should have been better than the fuck pie I hold it to be.
Soul Calibur II - It looks good...that's about it.
NBA Street 2 - Looks like crap, plays pretty fun, but there ain't enough meat on the bones for my liking.
Final Fantasy VII - it still can't hold my attention past the first disc.
Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball - this is best used as a graphics demo (no, not because I'm so lame that I'm attracted to virtual women, but because it's a good-looking game). I'm glad I only put 5 bones towards this one.
Devil May Cry - I dunno, doesn't do a thing for me. You can only kill so many puppets or scissor-toting ghosts before you just want to pop another game in.
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance - I'm sorry but American fighting games will NEVER be as good as their Japanese counterparts. I have rarely eyed such shitty character designs (farting fatman will hopefully never become a future staple for the genre).
I'm in total agreement with that one. I loved MGS 2 thoughOriginally Posted by Dahne
Enter The Matrix...wtf was i thinking?!?!
Avenger Out
DC Underground
Oh god, Wind Waker. Spectacle (graphics + sound) = stunning. Gameplay = lobotmized. Story = ridiculous copout.
Viewtiful Joe. I just didnt enjoy it half as much as I thought I would. It was a let down to say the least.
Thats about it. I like most games I buy, and I buy games on what looks good to me, not based on other peoples reviews usually.
Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text

wind waker... very disapointing!
Haha... Soul Calibur 2, the game I didnt want but my friends bought for me because they wanted to play it and had no current systems themselves. But I do like it a bit. I never really got into fighting games, besides Super Smash Bros.
I cant really think of a real example. Maybe Sim City 2000 for the SNES, which I think sucked, compared to the original.
