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.

Yeah, the first dungeon really feels like a nod to older games, while also showing that it's something else entirely. It's also interesting that it's a "water temple," but not really. Everything in the game screams that it's a Zelda game, but different, and it fits really well.

So far it's not my favorite, but it feels really good coming from Breath of the Wild.

I'm still probably going to prefer ALttP, Minish Cap, OoT, and TLoZ, but I'm glad SS exists. Now I need to pay the rest of the GC and Wii games.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
