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.

      Not to be that guy, but I’m not sure if even this post is breaking NDA on its own. Still, hopefully you can salvage the project, even with a day-one patch

        i can in fact deny that one. would be neat tho, bethesda’s only dropped one game in the last decade plus that i was wholly uninterested in (76).

        Ah, yes! The very hyped new Garfield game! I can’t wait to eat virtual lasagna and complain about Mondays.

          Punting Odies, whacking spiders…

          Also it wasn’t until just now that I realized that Odie might be short for ‘Odious’ :p

      I hope it’s not Nightingale. I know there are closed betas running right now.

        if it were nightingale the last dev update suggests that things i would probably have submitted a ticket about are being addressed in future playtests.

        however it also suggests that we’re a ways off of even an early access release.

          Not sure about that, the official website still mentions a fall 2023 release date (for early access, I assume).
