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.

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

I loved the difficulty of Diablo and wish the newer games were like that - but then they are once you get to the higher difficulties.
