Games that turned out differently than you expected

[Max Payne]

There were scares? : /

I found FFX-2's gameplay/battle system a hell of a lot fun compared to FFV's version of the job system, just found it smoother/to have more synergy/to flow better. That's me though!

SMT: Nocturne - For some reason I found this game really difficult at first and thought there were some fights that I wasn't going to win. However once I found out about broken moves like Focus and MT full HP/MP recovery I started having a blast

I already had my suspicions about FFX-2 & DMC2, so it wasn't a surprise to see they sucked.

I thought Assassin's Creed was going to be fun, but it bored me senseless and I sold it before completion.

Assassin's Creed was really, really fun imo When you wern't doing missions, because they were fucking boring. I have high hopes for the sequel though, it looks to have a lot more substance and alot more stuff to fo.

Agreed its an ok game but it just doesnt match up to its predecessors.
And damn it the sound track blows , thank god they kept the talk radio stations.

The soundtrack is rather shit tbh.

LCHC has underdog atleast lol.

I like GTA4, but I agree that it was underwhelming. It's too bad, but I think it's impossible for Rockstar to match the sheer novelty that was GTA3 at the time of its release, and how Vice City provided more of it. But I think the novelty had worn off by the time San Andreas came around. I'm glad they cut down on some of the bells and whistles that cluttered that game, though.

I miss riding a bmx bike though hopping was really great

 

[Munatik]

That's true, I do remember wasting an unbelievable amount of time flipping around and trying to do epic bunny hops.

Assassin's Creed.
Amazing concept but so very poorly executed. >:

A load of recent Ubisoft games, now y'all mention it. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 2 and the new Prince of Persia game all suffer from the same problem: Repetitive gameplay. AC felt like a collection of minigames which was only barely made up by the story. Far Cry 2 was odd, since there'd be angry negroes around every corner all the time that would shoot at you without any provocation whatsoever. And all missions involved 'go there and shoot that'. The 'sidequests' were worse, 'kill him' or 'blow that truck up', to summarize. Finally, PoP was a quick time event stretched out over five hours or so with no difficulty curve or required skill worth mentioning. Plus the ending sucked / made no sense.

FC 1 and Crysis were entertaining, the previous PoP triology was awesome (and its awesome made up for its shortcomings), and Assassin's Creed is for a part what PoP 3 was supposed to be (the two thrones or something, which promised free roaming in the city but failed to give that).

Kinda true. I bought it some days ago but it isn't as fascinating as I wanted it to be. The Templars are horrible foes.

 

[Max Payne]

I actually wound up loving GTA4, which was weird cause I fully expecting to hate it.

 

[annacamille]

I saw FFVII and was like wtf is this shit. I ended up loving it. 8D
I was also expecting something EPIC from FFX but got really disappointed . It was lame.

As for non-FF games, GTA:SA was surprisingly good. I have yet to play GTA:VC and GTA3.
I wanted to play GTA4... but then it seems like it's no good?

I thought FFX was epic tbh... when I reccommended it to you I was hating on it for whatever reason, but then I switched from an extreme FFXII lover to an extreme FFX lover 8D
