What the Twisted Metal thing? Eh different opinions. That's my goty but most people didn't like it cause it had a learning curve and they couldn't hang.

To be fair, most people generally don't expect 'learning to deal with constant connectivity issues at launch' to be part of said learning curve.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - This was always a wait and see ordeal with me. I was interested in grabbing this since I didn't bother with Skyrim, but knew things were up when they're constantly parading the names "Salvatore" and "McFarlane" as if trying to Mind Trick the audience into thinking they weren't a rookie dev. studio.

Twisted Metal - I fail to see anything that makes it remotely as enjoyable as the likes of Cel Damage last gen and other car combat games this gen.

One of the future "core" Kinect titles - That title may be an oxymoron to some, but I certain Kinect games SHOULD appeal to hear-and-there player and the daily/weekly player. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryse stinks. Have high hopes to see how Draco turns out.

Change "one" to "all" in the Kinect section and the beans would be too right.

I don't get it. I hate everything about Kinect.

The "too right" is implying to everything listed in my first quote.

I'm 50/50 on Resident Evil 6. It'll either be good or another RE5 fiasco. The Leon bits in the trailer give me a little hope.

I haven't even played it yet but yep it turned out to be more RE5 garbage.

In hindsight I should have listed Hitman: Absolution. That has to be the worst game I've played this entire gen. IO deserves to be closed down, six years of waiting with Kane & Lynch crap to fill the gap and they give fans that casual turd.

Ni no Kuni.

I'm starting to get the feel that Level 5 is way overrated. Their last good game was Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2 (or Rogue Galaxy for that matter), and guess what, the concept and foundation of DQ was already there to begin with. The load times every single move you made were atrocious, guys don't know how to pace a game.

Look at their last years:
Tons of DS games (32476287 inazuma eleven games, professor layton) +
White Knight Chronicles (2008) White Knight Chronicles EX Edition (2009) White Knight Chronicles 2 (2010) One each year, mediocre at best.

Seriously Level 5, WTH?
And now, they had the chance to work together with the GODLY Studio Ghibli and guess what, they are releasing an incohesive boring mess with PS2 like textures. Just look at the combat scenes, closed rooms with obviously lazy designs and poor graphics, in harsh contrast with the assets S.Ghibli provided. I swear to god they are falling like a lead ballon and they're going to bomb even harder than Squeenix.

Recycled DQ/WKC scenarios FTL

FFv13 getting a 2013 release date for the west

vsXIII won't happen until FF XIII-3

There won't be a FF XII-3, the end of the story will be told via DLC.

But maybe after FFXIV or FFXIV-2 it will be released.

oh the irony...xD

I'm expecting life to suck from now on. I'm so used to working now it's sickening.
I got 5 days off due to the week and 24-26th off. And now its the 25th and I've only been sleeping and working out. I don't even feel like playing any games anymore...ugh...

gamewise I'm playing ass creed 3 I'm expecting it to suck and it's pretty ****ty thus far.

I'm also worried about Alan Wake. I'm going to try it on PC if the reviews are good, but I think it may show that they have gone as far as expected with the concept rather than building it out more.

Same game. Accurate review: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1756-Alan-Wake

IGN gave it a 9??

This bump made me have to see this?!?!?!

Yahtzee's examination of it was kinda bogus.

Oh, how did I forget? Assassins Creed 3. I don't even have any sort of expectations for it that could be in any way described as "optimistic" and I'm sick of the series already since the games after ACII and the utter lack of any progress in them and the pointlessness of the story in those games. Yet I still want to see the conclusion of the story despite it being stretched so ridiculously thin so I'm still going to end up getting it. Yet if it's obvious it's going to be another set of ACIII, and then AC:[insert letter here] and AC:[insert letter other than previous letter here] and it's not going to even deal with Desmond's story I'm just done with it already.

I'm prepared for the new Silent Hill to be crap, which is highly likely. Eh, it might be ok, it's just the problem of them using the name and further soiling the series. FFS, come up with something new.

I'm also worried about the SH remasters. Mood breaking trophies (although, you can turn the notifications OFF right?)...the voice over issue, I was actually fine with the new clips they put out, I thought they were mostly better, but I think I read that they are going to include the old ones as optional...anyway, I'm expecting **** ups on that.

idk, I've grown completely skeptical on everything coming out these days, and I'm glad for it. No hype zone right here. Better to expect everything to be crap and then be pleasantly surprised. Being a hyped up fanboi is just plain dumb.

Halo 4-343

No, but seriously, I'm playing the wait and see game. I've been a Halo player since 2006, and played every Halo game. Reach was hands-down the worst Halo (FPS) title yet, and if not worst, the most underwhelming, save for the Space Battles which'll live in Halo infamy.

I have high hopes for Halo 4, which is why I'm ravenous for details. Anyways this topic is a wee bit silly, can anyone tell of a game that DIDN'T disappoint some of it's audience? I'm pretty sure differing opinions are a human trait.
