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.

diablo (psx) - my brother and i are always looking for co op games when i'm back home for a visit. i'd played d2 til 5am on weekends in highschool and diablo on psx feels more like a game cause ur not just clicking a million times. i dunno what we were doing wrong but we'd done a new game + like 4 times and were still hung up at the same part of the dungeon so we bailed. great game but the curve ramped up in a dumb way. or we were missing something.

coop mentions cause im always lookin

Gran Turismo 7. Only 4 high payout races to earn money. All my friends still play on Gran Turismo Sport because boost doesn’t work in multiplayer. They updated the missions awhile back called the human comedy where if you had it on hard mode it was easy and easy mode was down right impossible. I will never purchase pre-order or digital ever again.

1nsane 2.

So many good memories of dragging my desktop PC, CRT monitor, desktop speakers, and LAN hub over to my friend's house. Pizza, white castle, smoking schwag and playing hours of king of the hill. 1nsane was just the shit to get your friends worked up. Rune was cool, UT was most excellent, but 1nsane was something special.

For so many years we yearned for a next gen copy. Then we got 1nsane 2, and what. the. fuck.

Carmageddon Resurrection.

  • Performance sucked on release. It still might
  • They promised a native Linux version in their crowd funding campaign ...
  • ... and then back-pedalled on that. In stead they made a trailer in which several penguins were killed.
  • Also: not that fun, as far as I remember.

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.
