Gaming Disappointments

Stallone1993 - 470 days 12 hours ago

This article was written by Tommy_Cronin - he usually writes opinion pieces and things like this. Most are very pro sony, and some can be anti - well not even Sony, just developers that messed up. Secondly, why would we be 'biased' about the PS3? Honestly - the only thing I own is PLAYSTATION 3 and a Wii (which I got for free). I hate Nintendo. That's just me. This is talking about disappointments in gaming, we are a PS3-centric website and thus, we talk about PS3 disappointments. Please tell me Home wasn't a disappointment, delay after delay. HAZE was hyped up to be a GOTY candidate...were you living under a rock? Also, 2.40 never brought everything we wanted (in-game music in all games - not 5, in-game voice etc.) but that's not a valid reason - the more valid reason is 2.40 is a broken firmware and causes headsets to go ape-crap and Sony still hasn't acknowledged it.

Please, tell me again that I am anti-Sony and I'll take you through a tour of my god damn house to show you that I am a PLAYSTATION Fanboy...I wouldn't write for this site if it was biased, it truly isn't.

Barking about the 2.4 update. It was a huge update so there were bound to be bugs. I don't give Sony credit for the bugs, but I give them credit for trying to get the PS3 up to date with in game XMB. Yes there were bugs and those that suffered said bugs were not appreciative. Those that did suffer are having their PS3's replaced. Those that read around on the net like me waited for the updated firmware that fixed this glitch are appreciative. At least Sony owned up to the facts and took action to fix it right away rather than denying it. The exact opposite of the 360 RROD problem for the first year and a half. MS figured the problem would fix itself over time, but it prevailed nonetheless. They now have an extended warranty program in place, but it's still a superficial measure. They should have designed the internal architecture of the 360 better so that these problems shouldn't have been around in the first place. The PS3 was delayed heavily it's true, but it has not had the same problems Microsoft has faced in what's going on 3 years in this current generation now. Of course, I do not mean to hate on Microsoft. I have an original generation 360 that has yet to fail. But since I have a fan blowing on my 360 to dissipate heat, mine should not theoretically fail. I have over a thousand hours on it and it works as good as the day I got it. Just a personal perspective here.

Only a gamer would know that you have the ability to skip those cut scenes. So I guess you aren't one? The question isn't in regards to the consoles, but to how much you play games and if you get easily affiliated to a games features and options. It's an honest question, really.

As Killjoy pointed out those who actually played the game know you can just skip the cut scenes if tragically you were born with the attention span of a house cat.

Thank you for confirming this. It doesn't take more than two to people to figure out blindness of this epic, absent-minded fanboy.

+Bubbles, closing.

EDIT: @ Negative Creep
Don't you mean Xbox 360 biased?
Just correcting simple flaw but you're absolutely right.

Biggest gaming disappoints article with only PS3 related material.

What about Too Human? Huh??? That game is already out, is PROVEN to be a disappointment and was supposed to come out what like 10 years ago! and this author has a freaking cow over Home getting delayed over just a few months! (which in case he doesn't know can't even be legitimately labeled as a disappointment yet).

Totally Biased! Anyone who doesn't see that is an idiot!

Killjoy and Closing, obviously don't know something about gameing, because if you did, you would know that most people like the story in the game, so they won't skip the cutscenes. A real gamer would also know that most people don't have more than 2 hours or so to spend on a game at any given time, so if most of that is spent watching a cutscene, and not playing the game, I could understand getting a little peeved.

Not everyone has 10 hours straight to play a game, and if I'm playing a game, I want to be playing, but I also don't want to just skip over the story. Try to be more opened minded next time, instead of insulting people out right.

About the article: All I have to say is that if this were an anti-Xbox blog post, the comments would all be praising the article.

It's a ps3-centric site so obviously the disappointments are going to about the ps3.

Haze was way worse.

Oh, definitely, but Dark Sector had more potential.

If it was on the PS3 we would probably still be waiting for it.

I'd say roughly 85% of MGS3 was jungle related. Additionally, you would of have known that you would get to a base sometime considering nuclear weapons were part of the game. You know people ALWAYS safeguard their nuclear weapons out in the middle of nowhere.

I guess people misunderstood what I was going for. I know that there waas eventually going to be a base where the nuclear weapons were held. What I'm saying is a disappointment is that once you get to the base, you no longer have to infiltrate.

Does it make you feel better listing games for the Xbox instead of looking at the PS3 failures? There have been a lot of flops on the PS3 too dude.

But remember one mans flop is another mans great game.

TheMART at Xboxkings - 470 days 1 hour ago

Depends on how you determine a flop

Too Human got an average of 7 out of 10 just a good game.

Haze got just over a 5 just like Lair. Thats a straight flop.

But Sony fantards like to say 360 games are flops. Lets look at another one

Ninja Gaiden 2 - average rated on 8.2 out of 10. Called a flop by PS3 droids.

GT5P rated 8 out of 10, Heavenly Sword 8.1 out of 10. So in PS3's fantards words those are both bigger flops then NG2.
