Heroes of Newerth - Post Beta...
League of Legends - Yeah, it just went crazy downhill. Every Call of Duty game post CoD4 Kiwi Name = Sir Remington Kiwi; Duke of that tree over there.

1. Homefront: Although I played the hell out of it on my 360 when it first released (multiplayer anyway), I was really disappointed to find that the variety of guns and what not was just... not there. I must say it had the best sounding M4 I've heard in a game yet. +1 for the point concept -9999 for variety
2. Dragon Age 2: Plain and simple, was an interesting take at first.. but I eventually realized it was missing everything I loved from the first installment. I didn't enjoy the feeling of that cramped city. 3. A new installment of Star Wars Battlefront: Disappointed because it never arrived! I would split screen the first one with my friend for hours on end.. there needs to be a new one with all sorts of new features. >>><><<<

" I agree with the post CoD4! It's the only one I actually play. Curious to know what you think has gone downhill with LoL? To make that observation you've obviously played it considerably, in which case you are probably either in a team or out of the low ELO slots.... Apart from one or two new champs that have been terrible I don't see anything wrong with it. There are almost no new people playing because of the hostility of the community. The thing that irritates me most about LoL at the moment is people raging during a game when they are clearly playing on a smurf, just because they are not good enough to hold their own at the higher ranks |

Duke Nukem Forever- I waited over 10 years for this!?!? I should have seen the signs...
Diablo 3- See above... but add 10x more nerd rage. Age of Conan- This game had me so excited. I followed it the day it was announced. The thought of a ultra-violent MMO with epic battles and bosses had me stoked. Then the actual product came out and everyone stopped playing after a week. |

***Spoilers from some old games here***
Haven't read the other eight or so pages, but skipping the most obvious games, my list would be: 1. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I absolutely loved TES: Arena, and actually finished it. I -never- finish games, and especially not RPGs. Not only that, but I kept playing Arena after the bad guy was dead, by going to the king and getting random quests. It was usually go there, kill that troll etc, but it was fun. :) (and waaaaay before Skyrim 'reinvented' RPGs by doing the exact same thing all over again with 'random quests', or whatever the hell they called it.) I was too young to have an income when Daggerfall was out, so I didn't play it until recently. Haven't played it enough to form an opinion, but in this case, it doesn't matter. Morrowind was awesome. In fact, it was so awesome that I first bought the vanilla game on release, then the expansion Tribunal on release. I never got around to buying the second expansion (Bloodmoon), so I later just as well got Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition with both expansions included. It was superb. And then... Oblivion. Oh, dear. I read every review, loved the screenshots and counted the days until it was out. And then it finally was... God, I wish I hadn't played it... The story was crap. They made big announcements that they had Patrick Steward himself as a character, and yet he died in the intro? WTF? The world was empty and boring. The monsters scaled with us, so once you got yourself an ancient, super-powerful sword and equally awesome armor, a random thief had the same weapons and armor as you? Aaain, WTF? And the story? Zzzzz.... Couldn't care less. Skyrim wasn't much better, but I had learned from Oblivion and lowered the bar to 'meh'. And even then I was disappointed, like so many others. I won't call it one of my most disappointing games of all time, though. Not after the crapfest Oblivion and it's horse-armor DLC. Say no more... 2. Mass Effect 2. I don't usually don't play scaled-down RPGs like Mass Effect, simply because I keep thinking about what they could have been if they had made them exclusivly for PC and gone all out on the RPG aspect. Back in SW: Knights of the Old Repbulic, I kept thinking through the entire game that it was just a smaller, scaled-down version of Neverwinter Nights in the Star Wars setting. Every skill and ability were in NWN, but NWN had a lot more of it. So Mass Effect? Skeptic, to say the least. Yet I played it... a lot. I loved it so much that I had two copies for it on XB360 plus one for PC, and it was worth every penny. Or krone, as we use here in Norway. I absolutely loved the game. The story, the charaters, the dialogue, the gameplay... it was near perfect. It wasn't a proper RPG, yes, but it was something else. Like Diablo, in a way. Diablo started out as a turn-based RPG, but by changing it to real-time, they invented a new genre. Mass Effect was close to doing the same. And so... Mass Effect 2. As a microspoiler, ME1 had an awesome story, awesome characters and, of course, one hell of a cliffhanger on the end. Mass Effect 2? Whoopsie, you died. Time to start a new story with new characters and completely ignore the stuff you just did in ME1. I know this is starting to sound like a broken record, but... WTF? Seriously, BioWare. What in the flying F*** where you thinking!!!! I still gave the game a fair chance on both PC and PS3, but no. Just... no. (and don't get me started on ME3. Somehow they made it look even worse than ME1, which is quite an accomplishment considering it's the third game in the series. Broken record time... WTF?) 3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Yes, I said it. I hated this game. CoD1 was pretty darn good, except it had too many on-rails sections. CoD2 was pretty good. CoD3 pretty good. CoD4... multiplayer only? Really? Well, except for the really short, really dull single-player 'story', of course. Since then, it's gone more and more into pure multiplayer, and the single-player is more or less ignored. What the freck happened? How could they go from awesome FPS-games that did something unique, to pure multiplayer-games that's thirteen a dozen? 4. Super Mario Galaxy 2. Don't get me wrong, the game is awesome. I really could have loved it. I really could have played it for weeks non-stop. The problem is I already did before they put the 2 in the title. ZZzz.... 5. Super Mario 3D Land. Nintendo, WTF? Again, the game is awesome. I loved it, I really did. But can someone tell my why I first finished the four first worlds, then had to go back to the old levels and search for 20 hidden coins just to unlock the fifth world? I eventually made it to the end of the seventh world, and only had the final world to go. Except to get there, I had to go back to the old levels and search for 50(!) hidden coins. What the hell was that about? Why was I being punished for not scanning every last inch of every single level before the last world? Why couldn't I just play the game normally like I wanted to, and then come back for the secrets afterwards if I wanted to? Not fun. Not fun at all... "And that's how you die properly, sailor boy."

1. Diablo 3
2. Need for speed shift 2 (no idea what i was expecting, but they missed so many great opportunities with the second game) 3. LA Noire PC port - i really really wanted to like this game, but the pc port was terrible (capped at 30fps, horrible performance and so on.) |

1. Diablo 3... no comment needed.
2. Anno 2070: It's simply Anno 1404 with new textures and a 2 or 3 new features. Pretty boring. I loved Anno 1503, 1602, 1701 and 1404, but 2070... no comment... 3. Dungeons: Thought, it could be as awsome as Dungeonkeeper, but it was pretty boring. |

All the hype in school about CoD, all of them are in my meaning absolutely worthless, just running around shooting other persons all day without diversity.
Spore was pretty bad. I waited to get it for two years, longing for it... Not worth the wait or hype... WoW. A friend wanted to start playing it again so he referred me so I got it with Wrath of the Lich King, reached lvl 73 but then our time ran out and since it wasn't fun playing we didn't get more... I can understand why so many dislike D3, it takes a special taste to appreciate in inferno. |

1. Battlefield 3 - EA ruined it, was rushed, just another cash cow.
2. Diablo 3 - LOL yes, of course. 3. WoW Cataclysm+ : Dumbed down game, no real Warcraft lore, ActiBlizzard ruined it. |
