Which games did the worst job of living up to the hype?

Watch Dogs, Killzone.

 

Spore will always be #1
Star Wars: Battlefront
The master chief collection was/is a malfunctioning pile of garbage
RE:6
Bioshock 2
I know a lot of people were let down by The Division
Star Citizen is largest game ever funded and was supposed to come out in 2014, it's been on Kickstarter for so long now that it's nearly impossible to live up to the hype.
Dead island was fun, but after the initial trailer I thought it was going to be amazing
Star Wars: the old republic MMO

 

I bought Destiny right when it came out and was blindsided by how little content there was. Also got fucked over by Master Chief Collection. Incredible incompetence

 

Launch destiny had more content than most multiplayer focused shooters.

 

Yeah but let's not act like we weren't a little surprised at the content there givin what we were told leading up to launch. The campaign was 8 hours and there wasn't a lot of variety in the strike playlist. Those who stuck with it I think have been more than rewarded but I can understand the complaint. Especially if you like to game by yourself and don't tap into the multiplayer (largest time sink) aspect

 

Pretty much every NCAA football game after Bill Walsh.

Battlefield Hardline runner up.

 

I'm going to give Watchdogs another chance soon. I had the highest expectations I've ever had for a game and I was so disappointed. Now I've given it plenty of time to come down to earth, I'm about ready to tackle it from the start.

This happened with me with LA Noire. Massive expectations and I was so deeply saddened by how bad I thought it was the first time around. Waited a few years after never finishing my playthrough and came back to it. It's in my top 5 games now.

 

Liked LA Noire on first play. Loved it on the replay.

 

I think what's impressive is nothing has matched the facial realism since. That was such an interesting mechanic. And the setting is just top notch. I love that period.

 

Me too. I've often said I was born in the wrong era

 

It was never meant to be a single player game, so that's kind of a weird complaint. However, I won't deny it didn't live up to the hype but it was still very successful. I just don't think it's quite in the same tier as Bioschock 2/No Man's Sky/Spore.

 

Oh 100%. I think it should not mentioned in this thread, I just get the complaints

 

i liked watch dogs, of course it was missing a lot in the way the game "flowed" but it was pretty intuitive. killzone definitely was a clunker

destiny 100% for me

 

you played by yourself on a last gen console, of course you didn't like it

 

OG Assassin's Creed

 

I hated it when I first got it and played a driving mission. Controls on a PC were/are horrid. Let it sit more than a few months. Gave it another chance and really liked it. Have completed it twice. Waiting for the DLC to go on sale again.

 

How far back you talking about?

I can remember some truly shit games on PC..

 

The most recent killzone, yes. Killzone 2 is still my favorite online shooter of all time, though.
