What game fucked you the most in terms of missed expectations?
I bought Master of Orion 3 at release without even considering it would be anything other than a masterpiece.
Imagine my growing sense of horror and disgust as I played the game. I went through all five stages of grief by turn 50.
My god, the combat was so shit. I only played for about 4 hours until I got so annoyed by the garbage combat mechanics that I broke the CD in half
The combat in the original was shit though, so how can this be a surprise?
I'm ashamed to admit it took until 2013 for me to break the AAA garbage cycle, but I'm glad to be out of it at all.
I never played the original
Overwatch. I actually thought it would feel like TF2 but it's chokepoint sim.
No surprise there.
Fate/Extella at pc launch.
Tried three different machines, got three different errors. At least I got a refund. Might try again if its on sale. I'm a whore for Fate.
My Wii U, I bought it for Monster Hunter 3 U thinking they would release new MonHun games after on the system, they didn't.
Dragon's Dogma.
The harder Holla Forums fellates some dubious game, the higher the chance it's fucking shit.
