Games that didn't live up:
Gta4- bout both 360 and ps3 copies ad midnight thinking I'd need both because of multiplayer and what not. Dint even think I beat the story.


Games that exceeded:
Arkham Knight- had so much fun playing this. Finally got to play in an open world with the batmobile. Legit felt like Batman.

I had to play arkham knight again since my first try at it was lukewarm and i have to admit that shyt was a blast. I ever collected all the riddler trophies which was surprisingly easy

NBA2K this generation has shown the improvements of 2K sports.

Walking Dead series thought the game was going to be some point n click shyt CSI Galaxy Note type app store shyt

NBA 2K11
became my favorite sport video game of all time after stanning Live all my life.

Rent Mass Effect 3 for one day, went back and played the whole series :jbtable:

GOAT game series, IMO...the ending was bad, but, not that bad.

Ending to Mass Effect was horrible straight travesty breh. Everything you did in the previous games didn't mean shyt

I've been back and forth on this with myself and everyone.

Take the deus ex machina of the Star Kid and the game is butter...that's the only problem.

Having a battle with one big ass Reaper made little sense, IMO.

Harbinger is really the only Reaper that actually "meant" something.

In the end; I got what I want, kill the Reapers, Kai Leng and Illusive Man.

Overall 3 was just too dope from a story standpoint. For time I beat it I was still sad about Tali. I NEVER let that happen in my multiple playthroughts, again.

I could think of other ways to end the game, but, none too far off. I think @hex had a great idea in the ME thread

When I copped Saints Row 2 I didn't expect it to become my favorite game of all time

SR3 was a huge letdown and 4 was trash too

Perfect example of fixing something that ain't broke

GTA4 was wack to me at first but once I got into it, it was cool, better than I expected at first

Red Dead Redemption is fukkin awesome, didn't see that coming

Twisted Metal for ps3 was one of the biggest letdowns ever

Just Cause 2 was a huge letdown for me, and nba 2k14 almost made me never wanna play 2k again

2k16 for ps3 made me never wanna play ps3 again
