Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? (lemm.ee)

Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.

Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.

Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn't really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.

INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.

Resident Evil 2 Remake as well.

Doing away with the fixed camera really kills the vibe of the game. Just being able to hear by not see an enemy has so much suspence.

Gaining lore from the background objects. Another product of the time but walking up to something and interacting to get an indebth text read out on what you are looking at was great in the original but was absent in the remake.

It was great that the Tyrant was able to move around more than the original but it's extreamly limited and once you figure out the mechanics you realize that he is just teleworking around close to you, it becomes more of a chore than a threat.

I was really hoping for a good remake Ala the first Resident Evil Remake.

I disagree, I thought RE2R was fantastic although I still prefer RE7.

Those games were the entire reason I went into RE3 with high expectations.

I've never played the original though, that might be why I liked it so much.
