View Full Version : "Easiest" and/or most disappointing game...

Okay, rather than stink up Gifted's 'hardest game' thread, I'll start a new one on a similar subject......How about the "easiest" time you ever had playing a major title? - Now, I don't mean some 12th party, 'no-name' mess that you blasted through with your 'game genie' or even one that everyone and his brother also found particularly easy. I mean a legitimate title that you were able to race through with ease while your friends were perhaps all still left struggling, swearing and biting controllers in the wake of yer advanced skillz. ::)

On a semi-related note, how about the big game(s) that for whatever reason, may have left you particularly disappointed; That one game (or games) you were expecting huge things from and....pffff....nuthin.


Easy:

Mega Man 3 - (NES) - finished the whole thing in about 6 hours of straight play…...no exaggeration. Friends of mine were on that thing for weeks.

Battle of Olympus (NES) Okay, so not a 'major' title, but…...A clear ripoff of, 'Adventures of Link' - Should have been great - looked nice, sounded nice, still holds a special place in my heart actually……but compared to Link, disappointingly easy.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Still a good game in my book, but I really feel the 3rd person view changed the game too much. Usually, in a Zelda game, you are guaranteed to run into some ridiculous puzzle, dungeon or enemy that completely drives you nuts while figuring it out. Anyway, while still nicely paced, (and some pretty difficult side-games) that moment never came for me in OoT - Still better than a lot of games out there, but I have to say, the Zelda difficulty level took a little slide backward on the N64.

Command and Conquer: Generals: Something about this game keeps me coming back, (and itself out of the disappointing pile) but the easiest single-player in the history of single-player. I only had to restart the final, "China' mission like, once. Was even able to beat skirmishes on 'hard' my first time out. (Which I usually cant do until I've become somewhat familiar with the game) I know some people don't like it, but the 'Zero Hour' expansion was a huge improvement….or at least more challenging.


Disappointing:

Castlevania IV - (SNES) - Despite the miserable hours of torture the original game provided me, I would be at the game store, wide-eyed, and waving my money in the air like an idiot within hours of a new release. That is, up until the day I bought this dumbed-down mess. Finished it in 3 afternoons…..I think I restarted the 'Dracula' level maybe once. There has never been a Castlevania that even comes close to the difficulty of the original three IMO. (Well, 1 and 3 anyway.)

Return to Castle Wolfenstein - This ones right on the fence. Was waiting for this game big time. I don't understand it; looked great, sounded great, and had some classic moments, but just didn't deliver for me. Plus, the final boss was dead in no time at all…..who the hell gives the player all the room in the world to move in a final FPS boss level, and on top of it, gives him a hiding place where the boss cant enter, yet can be sniped mercilessly? Sheesh - I cant remember a single moment of trouble in that game.


Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos - Thass right, I said it. Now, I have long since changed my mind, (especially since SC2 was announced) and have completely done a 180 on WC, but at the time, (2002?) I simply hated this game to death - My fault really; I was trying to play it like Starcraft 'not-in' space. I quickly got frustrated with the low population and 'upkeep' BS, the overly ornate spells continually blocking vision of my units. - Cheesy game engine cutscenes instead of the beautiful fully rendered graphics - For these reasons, WC3 ended up gathering a little dust on my shelf for like 2-3 years. One day, however, I decided to give it another run, and here we are today - One of my favorite games.

I'll add more as they come back to me. :)

Zelda Twilight Princess fits nicely into both of those, not only was it retarded easy it was also a disappointment.

I must disagree, yes it was easy but not as disappointing as you call it. Plot was great and well yea they took most of the ideas out of Metroid Prime echoes, but still the plot was unique and good in its own way.

On a side note, you must complete it in a 100% in order to call it a finished game.

Now my own easy games:
-Age of mithology Titan (no cheats)
-Metroid series
-Guitar Hero/rockband series (expert)

Dissapointing:
-Supreme Commander
-Universe at war

Took me three months to finish Doom 3. It was really good looking, but the gameplay was meh. I kept playing a couple hours, then stopping for a few weeks. Then remembering how pretty it looks. In the end I forced myself to finish it so I can remove the shortcut from my desktop.


A big disappointment for me was Need for Speed Prostreet. I was a huge fan of the old NFS games ( Hot Pursuit and High Stakes ), also liked Most Wanted. But when I played the demo for Prostreet, all I could say was: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!! I haven't touched a NFS title since.

Another case of bad sequel: Carmageddon 3.
I loved Carmageddon 2 and played it constantly for years. Then Carmageddon TDR2000 came out, and I thought HELL YEAH! Played the demo and I couldn't believe the pile of poo it became. They haven't made any more, so there.

Mega man 3 is hardly an easy game :p

hmm easiest game... I know I finished a lot of games in a couple of hours but I can't think of much atm except portal. Yoshi Story (N64) was also pretty freaking easy. Others I can think of: Felix the cat (NES), every kirby games.

Biggest disappointments:
-Megaman 64 and Megaman X7: Well they failed porting the games in 3D but at least they got it right with Megaman X8

-Kirby air ride: wtf was that... I love kirby games and was expecting this to be pretty decent but I was terribly wrong.

- Zelda Wind Waker: Game was fun but it was a disappointment for me because of how childish the art style was. I forgive Nintendo because of twilight princess.

-Final Fantasy Dissidia: I hate the gameplay. They could have just made a normal fighting game maybe like Super Smash or Soul Calibur but instead they made this thing with bravery and craps. Why SquareEniX? This could seriously have been my all time favourite fighting game since I just love FF games.

- Duke Nukem forever: Disappointment for obvious reasons

Anyone know or remember the Star Control series? If I had to pick a game that was really disappointing, it would have to be the third game.

The first game was alright, didn't have a real plot, missions and the mechanic behind it was relatively simple, what, with player taking turns moving your ship like a chess piece and all that. And then you have the melee combat, the bread and butter of the series.

The second game is what made the series so legendary, as you now have a very serious story, a nice mix between exploration and adventure and action all rolled into one, great music, new races to play around with, etc, etc, etc. You get your own ship which initially starts off pathetic, yet as you gain more resources and new technology, your ship would end up becoming the biggest terror in space. Pretty difficult, especially since it's almost literally you against the universe till you manage to find some allies. Then Star Control 3 comes along and stank that all up.

Replace hand drawn pictures of aliens with ugly animatronics, replace cool music with the most boring BGM you can come up with, screw up the story, make the star map more confusing to look at, screw up the melee balance, etc, etc, etc. Having been on a high from completing the second game, the third one didn't live up to the Star Control name.

Informational opinion: I predict this thread will become rather disrespectful by page 2 or 3. Here's to hoping that I'm wrong. ^_^

@Caliban:

About Legend of Zelda: OoT: I can see where you got the impression it was significantly easier. I remember thinking that and making up a challenge mode for myself by bypassing all the heart containers in the game. I also did whatever I could to penalize myself. Bypassing items if they weren't required... wearing Iron Boots 100% of the time when they were poor, etc. (Made the water temple a pain) But it made the game significantly more satisfying.

Regarding PORTAL: Alright, I love this game to death. I think it's fantastic. I found it satisfying. But I have to take a step back and consider the odds that it can be beat by a 3 year old. (My son beat it at the age of 3.) Just a random thought to chuckle about.

Zelda the wind waker was a great game plotwise, but yea graphics where childish. Still, I believe it won't fit in the harcore zelda graphics that where part of OoT and TP.

You can replace "Star Control" with "Master of Orion", and it's the same story.

I'll simply state that I was greatly satisfied with MoO 3. 2 was incredible, but 3 was well in my mind.

It wasn't near the same spectrum as Star Control, which I personally can understand. Now that I think about it, I was slightly disappointed with the Harry Potter 5 game on the Wii (My wife asked for it for Christmas) But mostly because the controls were poorly implemented... the waving of the wand could be done better, which I suspect will happen in the next games.

Hope so too. :) Hope we all can remember (like in your 'hardest game' thread) that comments made here (on the ease of a particular game) are relative, and are no reflection of anyone's skills. - Everybody has a game that they found more intuitive than other games they have played.....thats all this thread is about.


Oh yeah, here's another one for the ''easy' & 'disappointed' pile (but I have an excuse)

Diablo I - Now hear me out. I bought the D2 'Battle Chest' which came with a copy of the original Diablo. Played all of D2 and the expansion before ever even seeing it. (quite some time) When starting off, I accepted the fact that I would be going back in time where the UI was concerned, (seriously, you cant 'run'?) but the whole game was literally the size of maybe 3 big D2 Dungeons. (okay, maybe just short of one D2 'chapter') I'm like, 'OMG, it's over?' - Plus, my character had some 'stun' spell on his shield - With it, you could knock out Diablo in no time. Maybe. 'disappointed' is a bit harsh.....perhaps, 'surprised' is a better word. :)

Most Wii games are incredibly underwhelming and overly easy. Super Paper Mario is one such game that comes to mind.

Portal could be completed in the time it took to watch a movie.

While I enjoyed the game personally, I personally did not find a large challenge in it and never actually "died" (though I got hit with the open elevator bug multiple times and found myself saving at every elevator for that reason.)

No matter the case, I can see how someone could view it as "easy" but I would not personally say it was disappointing.

You're now officially my friend. THANK YOU. I tried playing through ME a second time and didn't even get half-way through it. I can't stand the universe, the characters, and the complete lack of in-mission character interaction. On the flip-side I completed KOTOR five times and enjoyed each one. After KOTOR, ME was a major disappointment.

And the only time I ever had to reload a game was because of the elevator bug. Never died once, and that was on hard difficulty.


My other most disappointing games are Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Hearts of Iron 3. None of them lived up to their predecessors in the least amount.

Easy- So many games are easy, so I'll put games that are easier than I thought they'd be.

1. Devil May Cry 2 - Seriously i was so sad when I played this game lol
2. Mass Effect - I loved the game to death but it was pretty freaking easy, not as hard as it looked/ thought it be.

Disappointing -

1. Borderlands - Holy crap Im glad I traded this garbage in for Demon Souls....i was so pumped for it and it turned out to be one of the biggest disappointing games of all time for me, instead of a game its seems like a bare-bones or framework for a game with no further work done to it. Add in the worst ending I have ever seen and it just makes me sad cause it really coulda been amazing they had such a good idea and framework. T_T

2. Disgaea 3 - I do love disgaea but its redic how bad this game was, after playing Maki Kingdom and others I was thinking that the newest one would combine everything together and become the best of the "Series". But no instead you got a worse version of Disgaea 2 for the most part and if not that it didn't really bring anything to the series, where as Maki kingdom had freaking buildings, vehicles and fun classes. I did of course play the hell out of it anyway its to bad that Magi Fusion or w/e Is ruined by the fact that your weapons are almost always better than your monsters -.-.

3. Warhammer Online - Not really going to go into this but it belongs here.
4. Dawn Of War 1&2 - 2 being much worse imo, I just feel like this IP could get such a better treatment T_T

5. The Newest Star Ocean - HOLY CRAP HIRE BETTER VOICE ACTORS IUY#(*$&#(*$#*&($Y#*&$Y#*&$Y#*&$#$#$ I was annoyed and I usually like the cute little girl party members in most games. Thank god for the over priced international Version.!

I disagree that Return to Castle Wolfenstein was "Disappointing"

Yeah, the last boss was WAY too easy, and the whole game was rather easy after you beat it five times and remembered where all the soldiers were...
But the parts with the Undead were awesome. Frightening, when the whole place was dark, you heard crashes and groaning, and your only weapons of sure refuge were das Panzerfaust and das Flammenwerfer, high-level weapons that you didn't get until later.

And then... the Lopers... Fast... Beastly... I found myself using glitches and such to make sure I killed them before they could attack me.

As for disappointing, I'd have to say E$'s latest game, "Age of Spaceology". They said it was going to be a great RTS and a great Halo game, only to renege on most of the stuff they promised, and then act as if the fans were the problem.
What did we get? A half-baked multiplayer with no balancing at all (Tank rushes are the only way to win) and a complete butchering of the Halo timeline, wrapped up in a poorly executed campaign that blended and regurgitated the plots of the last three games, characters that you wanted to slaughter with a rusty butcher knife, badly-voiced-and-choreographed cutscenes...

That's why I call it "Age of Spaceology." It's much less painful that way.

Yeah, I was on the fence about that one, but I was expecting so much from it, I'm afraid that at the end of the day, it had to be sent to the 'disappoint' pile - Looked great; as you said, lots of dark, eerie places - Some good scares and creepy characters...great music for certain - but what was really missing for me was the excitement that I got from playing 'Doom' and 'Quake' - Ancient history by 'RtCW' standards, but I remember tons of heart-pounding moments in those games that I never seemed to get from this one....unless you want to count Helga von Bulow. :)

Didn't play much of Doom and none of Quake, so that's probably the difference.

Helga von Bulow was a'right, but what really scared me was the flaming zombie from the previous level.

And the Ubersoldat boss was tough.

Are you serious? Wow, I don't think I could disagree with somebody more. It was never billed as an amazing story, never billed as the next Fallout/Morrowind... it was billed as a roleplaying shooter, a hack-n-slash with guns and FPS.

I've been playing this game with my wife since it was released on PC, we're on our Playthrough 2 and we couldn't be having more fun. The world is a lot bigger than I thought it was, the missions are both entertaining and challenging, the loot is better than Diablo, and the humor is pure original Fallout. I haven't been this impressed with a game for a long time, and they've already got intriguing DLCs announced.

It beats the socks off Fallout 3 by a long shot, and it didn't even need a particularly great ending to do it.

I must ask ... did you even do Tannis' ECHO recorder missions? There were more laughs and more story in those 3 (4?) missions than Fallout 3 and Mass Effect combined.

I'm not belittling your opinion, because "to each their own", I'm just curious as to what you were expecting.

I don't know, I liked Diablo and other Hack and Slash style games...the loot system is great in this game I dont deny that...Guns are fun!

As I said I think the systems were great, and the CO OP was well implemented.. I just think the game felt empty and It didn't really get me into the story. Fallout 3s random buildings gave me more interest then most of these missions. I kinda felt dropped into a world with a bunch of random quest Hubs instead of having a nice driven story with tons of fun side quest.

The world itself, while I loved the art-style seemed pretty bland to me...I don't know what coulda helped it..Obviously its not supposed to be a lush forest but until the snow I kinda felt like I was walking around the same area.

There wasn't alot of different enemy's either, the ones they had were pretty good though.


I guess to me, the game is like a 7.5/10 when I wanted something to blow me away. Apparently the Zombie Land DLC is fun...oh well to late now ;d

I'm not sure If i beat those missions you talked about, I just played until I "opened" the vault.

"To each there own indeed" There was some fun moments, specially since I did CO-OP all the way threw, its much better with another person. I don't really know what I was expecting, I mean do you see any large flaws with the game? Im glad this game seems to be doing well as well, I really respect the Devs from borderlands there funny to follow on twitter, I await there next game.

Heh nice to have a response to something I said for once ;d

I gotcha. It is definitely not a game for singleplayer, and I agree that the world feels a bit bland. It is, however, the best multiplayer (I love co-op) I've had since...uhm...team fortress 2, really.

Speaking of Quake and Doom, you just reminded me of another game that I felt let down, and that happens to be Quake 2. For me, while the sequel to Quake may have introduced some improvements and all, but somehow I just didn't feel the rush of seeing the Strogg compared to all manner of beasts and monsters in the first game. Who can forget Chthon rising out from that lava pit, or having to fight Armagon in the first expansion. Quake 2 just didn't get as much of a 'wow' factor for me when I played it.

And to this day, I still consider the Spider Mastermind and the Cyberdemon to be two of the freakish monsters to fight in a FPS. Doom was just awesome back in the day.

Yeah, I agree. Q2 grew on me, but I really couldn't understand why they broke away from the original game and its designs - I thought Q1's "medeival futuristic' look was really innovative, and made for a really great looking game. I hope they actually make the decision to revisit it someday.

Yeah, I remember one of those 'Shamblers' popping out of nowhere could really get your heart pumping. Great game - Definitely in my top 10

What I think was the problem, now that I've had some time to ponder the matter, was the weapons system.
You could carry a knife, a flak jacket, a helmet, a pair of binoculars, two journals, twenty kilos of stolen Nazi gold, a Luger with a silencer, two Colt .45s, a Tommy gun, an MP-40, a Sten sub-machine gun, a Kar9K with a scope, a FG-42 Paratrooper rifle, the 'Snooper' rifle with a night vision scope, fifteen potato masher grenades, 5 pineapples, a Panzerfaust with 5 reloads, a Flammenwerfer with two tanks, a 'Venom' rotary gun with 1500 rounds of ammo, 10 bundles of dynamite, and the Tesla gun with 50 batteries.

Not only does that beg the question of how your character avoids a massive, ball-crunching hernia, it means you are a one-man army, and no boss could stand against you by the end of the game. If they limited you to two or three guns, then it would have been much harder... and you would have ended up using the MP-40 a lot more.

Oh, and the Panzerfaust was so wrong. They made it into an RPG-7, when it was more like a low-powered grenade launcher... And why didn't they implement the shotgun and the grenade launcher into campaign? :mad:

But even so, the flamethrower in that game was better than any other flamethrower in any other game I've played, including CoD4:WaW.

I'm locking this thread due to obvious thread necromancy.
