Games that exceeded and didn't live up to your expectations

Still regretting copping Battlefront

Twisted Metal for ps3 was one of the biggest letdowns ever

Based on what my nikka?

Exceeded
NBA 2K5- It was $20 and I remember just not having the money for Live that year and not having high hopes about it. Hadn't really fooled with live since then.
Def Jam Fight for NY- First one was cool but they got everything right on the second installment
GTA SA- Liked the series but was never a huge fan of it until this one. Got everything right and had great character development.
Zelda Windwaker- Had never played a Zelda game before, never saw the hype. Made me a big fan of the series as a whole.

Fell Below
WCW Nitro- Thought they were about to put out something similar to the wrestling games on 64 for PSX and it took like a long time for it to come out. Just trash gameplay all around.
State of Emergency- Game was hyped up as being GTA on steroids with like a 100 people on screen. Redundant from beginning to the end.
GTA IV- Expectations were too big coming from SA to this one. Decent just wasn't what I was expecting.

I was working at Gamestop when State of Emergency was released, and trust me when i tell you damn near every person who bought it returned it within the next 2 days. The only good WCW game for the PSX was WCW vs The World, that game was basically like WCW World Tour on the N64.

Warcraft 3. I had Starcraft/Brood Wars/Warcraft 2 but I just BSed on it.. Warcraft 3 was first real game I played competitively.

Unreal (before Unreal Tournament). bought it cause it looked cool in like 1997 or some shyt.. came to be the start of my all time favorite FPS franchise.

Call of Duty 1/2.. Battlefield 1942 was garbage at the time to me and call of duty was its rival I played the shyt out of both of them and the expansions

Diablo 2, the only game I ever skipped school for I was addicted to this shyt like it was hard drugs I had Diablo 1, but like RTS above, I rarely played it(played more FPS then like Half Life and Unreal).

Rust of course.. the last game that captured my attention day and night and I wanted to play all day

NBA 2k9


didnt live up to expectations:
Diablo 3 - trash ass game how you turn a majority PVP game into a farm fest just killing monsters for no real purpose all day fukk you blizzard
Planetside 1 - good concept, but it required too much from computers at the time. shyt killed most people computers to 5 fps
any world of warcraft expansion really.. The Burning Crusade and Wrath of Lich King werent bad at all, but they were downgrades to original World of Warcraft.. all other expansions after that been complete
Star Wars MMO
Battlefront

I dont mind spending money on Diablo 3 or Planetside 1 or the WoW expansions.. but man if I could get $$ back for Battlefront and Star Wars MMO I would.. I have the face just thinking about them right now

I may be the only one who says this

Impressed me:
Witches III- May go down in my top 5 games of all-time.

Depressed me:
Fallout 4- I was looking hard for a RPG to sink hours into....I didn't even make it 10 hrs in this.

Battlefront is fun as fukk. You have to play that with couch Co op. My nephew and son loved this game and I actually enjoyed it

I forgot about that one. Wish they had made another because the actual WCW roster was skimpy on the game. They had like 70 wrestlers on there and maybe like 15 were actual people from WCW.
