Your top 5 dissapointments of this gen

[The Sceneman]

Konami was the worst publisher/developer this gen

yeah, i mean, other publishers have had lower lows, but those publishers usually have some highs.  konami's been nothing but disappointment this gen, especially on consoles.  revengeance is probably going to be awesome but it's outsourced.  contra 4 was pretty good but it was outsourced.  internally, the best stuff they've done has been igavanias, metal gear acid, and metal gear peacewalker.  that's just sad.

Castlevania Harmony of Despair was better than sex. Wheres the sequel?!?!

[The Sceneman]

I believe HoD was a real cash cow too, with its really expensive DLC that us fans bought anyway because it was so fuckin awesome.

Why Konami why  :'(

[etiolate]

I always felt Konami's huge dropoff came last gen. They became less varied gen by gen in their interesting offerings. There was ZoE and DDR last gen. I think that's the only things i gave a fuck about. Oh, and Igavania, but I didn't dig the controls always. Anyways, it's like they couldn't pay attention to anything else while they were shoving Kojma's cock down their pipings.

However, I am about to start a re-play of B:AA now that I've got a 360 version of it. We'll see how it goes.

Sadly, I think I'm never, EVER going to get B:AC's Campaign Gold 'cheevos. Weven when I was completely accustomed to the controls, and had Gold medals on the individual combat and Predator Missions, I was just bamboozled by the last couple Campaign Missions.

I installed Diablo 3 to check out what changed, not much it seems. Played for 2 hours, not a single decent drop.
Pff.

Ha I booted it up a couple times this week, after months of not playing. Played a few hours (with 5 stacks), no drops as per usual. Doubt I'll be returning anytime soon with PoE's open beta coming out tomorrow.

I had a shit ton of fun with D3 so I can't really say it's a huge disappointment; plus I didn't play D2 enough back in the day to have much of an emotional connection to it (all my PC gaming time was reserved for StarCraft nonstop at the time). So to me I just look at D3 as something I had a lot of short term fun with and that's it. As far as I'm concerned it has no end game, and there's no reason for me to continue playing.

Maybe the expansion will have more replayability/actual end game outside of endless farming boring content. I know Triumph will convince my ass to buy it lol

I happily bought all the extra characters and stages, and the two 8-bit stages/chars were made in response to how well the game was doing so it's not like they don't know there's demand for 2D non-shit CV. Yet they made a sequel to that shitty 3D one and we get nothing.

I need to get my disc resurfaced and take these guys on again. I knew I could do them, but freezing Xbox made the shit impossible. Thankfully, I believe I have fixed my xbox.

I also never beat the game again without combat prompts, so I'd like to go back and do that. Great, great game, thats for sure.

Look, you either like endlessly killing monsters to get upgrades (even if through the AH) or you don't... that's pretty much what D3 is.  Nothing wrong with NOT liking that, but expecting other things from it is dumb.

[Cormacaroni]

If you had a ton of fun with the base game of D3, I don't know why you wouldn't be on board for an expansion

[Phoenix Dark]

I like killing monsters for loot, the problem is that loot rarely drops - to a point where I can't get myself to care about continuing; and nah I'm not interesting in the AH. Now I could endlessly farm the same content for hours and I'd imagine eventually my paragon level would ensure some good drops...but the game isn't interesting enough to make me WANT to do that. Not hating on it, as I said I had a shit ton of fun...I just feel like I've already accomplished enough in the game. Didn't kill Diablo on inferno but don't really care to, which goes back to the whole "grinding boring monsters for barely any loot" thing.

As it stands, I would lean against buying the expansion unless the game sees to big changes, but if Triumph, Viz, and other e-bros are playing it again that would certainly compel me to jump back in.

[Bebpo]

FFXIII - oh boy

MGS4 - Awful conclusion to a good/great series depending on the game.  First 2 acts were golden though!

GT5 - Even though I'm not a fan of sims, GT4 was actually pretty fun.  This was just pure terribleness.  Interface is so bad it made the game no fun to play.

Zelda SS - Jesus christ.  Made me give up on Zelda series.  Only slightly better than Spirit Tracks which was the worst game Nintendo has made to date.

AC3 - I actually like this game so far, about halfway through now.  But it's way too janky and rushed of a game to be the end all conclusion to an epic trilogy that I hoped it would be.  Plus I hear the ending is gonna be ME3 levels of series destroying.


Honorable mention to Star Ocean 4, which if SO 1 & 2 & 3 weren't already crappy games, I would have been sad that SO4 was *gasp* not a good game either.  Also Honorable mention to Uncharted 3, but the first half is pretty good, so not as unhappy.  Crackdown 2 belongs here but I ran out of room and no one expected it to be good anyhow with the dev history.

Good/decent loot drops pretty regularly as you level up and build paragon levels and magic find.  You're not going to gear a character from one two hour grinding session, but you might average a legendary/set item for every couple of hours, and it might be good.

Besides, mid-tier level gear is so cheap now that you can get it for fucking nothing on the AH.

Personally, I think your main problem is that playing as a tank is worthless and that's what you like to do

[Phoenix Dark]

The problem is that I shouldn't have to deal with paragon levels just to get some drops - the game should have a decent drop rate for items, period.

but you're right I made a sad about my tank's irrelevance. Goinio

[Cerveza mas fina]

I just want a challenge while running around and decent drops so I can keep playing without the AH.

I hope Inferno will offer this cause so far I only die when I dont look at the screen, and thats after 65 hours of playing.

UP. THE. MONSTER. POWER.  Jesus, I don't know how many times I have to say it.

Also, lol @ no AH.  You guys are fucking idiots.

You have to do the NG+ run if you want "Perfect Knight 2.0" -- which is funny, because I 100%'d the NG+ game, including all the Riddler side-quests and Political Prisoners. If I ever completed Campaign Gold, I'd have to go back and replay the basic game through to 100% as well. 

OTOH, if you do NG+, it will help you in the Campaign combat stuff where you have to get combat prompts disabled.

I don't bother with the cheevs in arkham city, I just like entering the costume code and dicking around gotham as fat batman

If you mean Arkham Asylum, yes, you are correct.

let's do that giant titan mid boss another time. you know what? let's put three in one room. No, that's too little, let's add 10 more. Let's make Joker a titan too and end this game with a shitty final boss.

City makes Asylum its bitch.
