2007's Ten Biggest Gaming Letdowns

Posted by Zonk on from the no-fracking-littlebigplanet dept.

Game|Life offers up an anti-top-ten list, noting the three blog authors' biggest disappointments from 2007. Chris Kohler's biggest letdown echoes my own feelings on this topic: "No LittleBigPlanet. PlayStation 3's software library got significantly better this holiday, but there's no killer app. I honestly don't know if LittleBigPlanet would have been one. But I think it's going to be mine. It's going to be the thing that glues me to PlayStation 3... when it ships. I was all ready to start building worlds and sharing them with my friends and generally start being a jackass by now, but it won't happen until next year -- late next year, if you believe the rumors. I hope they're not true. And I do hope LittleBigPlanet sets the planet on fire when it releases." Any gaming 'event' this year an epic fail for you?

    I still haven't managed to beat VI. You know, that console game where the object of the game is to edit a file and then quit? That's a really hard one, and I'm so disappointed that I got so close, but didn't finish it this year. Ah well, there's always 2008.

      You know there's a cheat code that lets you save your progress before you quit, right? Press escape, then type ":wq" and press enter.

      It's a PC game rather than a console game I think. Maybe that's the problem.

      You think VI is bad, you should try the multiplayer option - IRC!

    ...was that Duke Nukem Forever wasn't released in 2007. I was sure that this year was the year!

    I didn't find it a letdown at all. Quite enjoyed it, actually.

    If you're going to bash a game for no reason, bash a game that isn't 4 months old. Wow, tell me you didn't actually say that, when the title of the article is "2007's Ten Biggest Gaming Letdowns" and his post title (which is also reflected in your Re: response title is a direct derivative.

    Are you in the same article that the rest of us are in? Or are you just a little too emotional about HALO for some reason?
