LA Noire for me. First few cases were fun, then it just got plain stale after that.

Like, SECElite, mine is NCAA 12. I simply don't understand how a game can be released where every single new feature is messed up in some way.

I don't play many non-sports games, and when I do, it's usually after they've been out for a while and there is a lot of feedback on them. I've enjoyed all of the non-sports games I've played this year.

Hands down NCAA 12 has been the biggest disappointment for me.

New and old features were messed up. Coaching contracts were a mess (and still are), stadium sounds don't fade like 2010, and transfer fail issues have killed my two online dynasty's. The one mode that I play the most is hampered by transfer issues and after 3+ months, it's pathetic that all we get is a "we're aware of the situation." If you aren't going to fix it, just say it.

Add to that the complete lack of tuners that we were promised, patches getting delayed and delayed, patches glitching other aspects of gameplay, and patches not doing what they claimed to fix, NCAA 12 was a complete mess.

Other than that though, solid game.

While NCAA 12 was a huge disappointment for me. I at least was able to play it for a month before the patch messed everything up and I sold it.

My vote goes for Socom 4. I may have played that game for a week or two before I gave up. I still haven't put it back in my system since then.

Haven't bought too many 2011 games.

Of what I got for me its Madden 12 was a let down. I just can't get into it.

For me Arkham City,as in the massive delay of the PC version.
Well that's all the non-sports disapointment I guess. Brink was terrible but I figured that out from previews so expected as such.

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

LA Noire by far. The game did not live up to the hype. I wasn't expecting this game to be another GTA4 or Red Dead Redemption but I also wasn't expecting to be bored out of my mind. IMO this is the most overrated game of all time.

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

LA Noire. First Rockstar game that I purchased and didn't finish or play a good amount of time in awhile. It got repetitive fast and was just not fun to play.

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

Tisk tisk, haven't you guys learned anything. Dont be so hyped to buy a game on release day. If its one thing this site has taught me, its to wait for impressions. Cant even count how many times that saved me 60. Although the only slip-up I had was LA Noire and that was because the OS impressions rode this games jock like Seabiscuit.

Socom 4 for me as well. Was really expecting so much more.

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

Gears of War 3 for me. After seeing what **** did with Bulletstorm I was thinking there would be some cool gameplay innovations they'd bring with Gears 3, but they didn't introduce much cool from a gameplay/new weapons standpoint. The storyline/writing is laughably bad at times. I'm playing on Hardcore difficulty but it feels like it should be Normal - and I'd consider myself average/slightly better than average player. The game does boast great graphics; game seems to mainly highlight what they can do from an engine standpoint. Trying to plow through it so I can get 40%extra trade in value towards Batman AC

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

Homefront was pretty bad. It was fun for the first few mintues but became unplayable in less than a hour.

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

Well, this is a sports game, but NCAA 12. That game had the potential to be great, but turned out to be a great disappointment and nothing more. Not one aspect of that game is flawless. I wasn't expecting the perfect game, but I was expecting a game that would work for the most part. Unfortunately for EA that was the last straw and I skipped on Madden and will probably not get NCAA 13 unless I pick it up extremely late like I did NCAA 09(got that right before the national championship and played it more than any other NCAA for some reason).

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

Gotta go with Brink, which explains why I don't board the hype train when it comes to FPS' now.

Re: Biggest Disappointment of This Year?

Arkham City's delay for the PC Version, and 2K12, it wasn't everything I believed it was going to be.
