Game commercials/promos that had you HYPED, but underwhelmed when you played the game?

For me it is definitely Mirror's Edge. I like that game, but it felt NOWHERE near as intense as they made it seem in that damn commercial.

I was like I have to grab this.

I believe that shyt ran at 30fps on the PS3/360



This is probably #1 on everyone's list if you were old enough to remember:

Uncharted 3 MP beta I'm almost embarrassed at how hyped I was to play it.



I was mad souped seeing that since I fell in love with UC2 MP. Couldn't WAIT to play it. Finally when that beta dropped and I just moved the character I was so disappointed. Game felt slow as molasses and it just didn't feel like what I loved.




I'm ashamed to have been hyped for that game.

Uncharted 4 promos.

Serious answer I would have to say Halo 5. The game is solid, but they really confused me and left me disappointed in the story. It was no where near as epic as they made it out to be. There is no "Hunt the truth" aspect to the game. At no point is Master Cheif some rogue hero turned villain that Spartan Locke has to put down like a mad dog.

Evolve. Refused to see game play footage because I knew I was going to love it. Tried so hard to stick with it, ended up trading it a week later

Watchdogs. The E3 hype had me then the downgrading had me but the cops being on god mode had me

Every MMO ever.

Last game I allowed myself to get heart racingly hyped for was Kane and Lynch after reading up on it in Game Informer and watching multiple dev videos talking about what they wanted to impliment in ways of how you interact with each character. As Kane, you had to monitor Lynch and make sure that he didn't delve into his breaks with reality shyt, monitor him taking his pills, and his reaction towards certain events.

As Lynch you had to do your best not to get too gun hungry, deal with hallucinations and make moral obligations when it came to dealing with civilians, all while choosing to heed or ignore orders/warnings from Kane. Game was supposed to be dope...then it got released. I mean I like it and all, but I tossed that issue of Game Informer in the trash (Retrieved it after a day, though) 'cause I felt so stupid believing that they'd deliver on even half the shyt they talked about. Now I just note games I want to play based off the premise, get 'em, play 'em and decide whether I want to keep or sell 'em, that's it.

Before the game came out
Oh shyt, we get to play as Dracula!



After the game comes out:
Nah we're gonna have you run around a generic city hiding as a rat.
