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.

Crysis. I first played it in the mid 10s having heard it was groundbreaking, and... eh. Military shooter where white people go to africa/middleeast and have gunfights in the most boring washed out brown environments imaginable. The suit abilities were kinda cool but I've just played that template so many times before, it's not fun anymore and it wasn't fun anymore 10 years ago. It was barely fun 15 years ago.

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.
