Most Disappointing Moment in a Videogame

What happened in a videogame that made you most dissapointed?

The ending of Fable 2 is up there.

I played the entire game of Silent Hill Homecoming and there was no boss fight with Pyramid Head in it whatsoever. That dude appeared twice and I figured I would've fought him later on but the game ended and I was ticked. Why bother putting someone like him in this game if you can't fight him?

But yeah ending of Fable 2 as nemebro mentioned was absolute suck. Boss fight with Skorge ( i think that was his name) in Gears 2 sucked. I'm sure there's been plenty and any game that suffers from being too repetitive, like Spiderman web of shadows or Assassin's creed.

Learning that I had to wait until 2010 to take down the gods in God of War 3. Ending was Epic, but damn did I want to get that bastard Zeus.

Don't think you fought him in Silent Hill 2 either. Doesn't matter though he's not an actual being, he was like a manifestation of your sins or something like that I don't really remember.

Still doesn't change the fact that I still hit him with a steel pipe and shot him. You never look like you're fighting PH in Homecoming since you only see him in cut scenes. It doesn't even matter if he's real or not since I'm still technically fighting him.

Whenever I get to a really tough spot in the game, and the game decides to solve the entire conflict with a cutscene. Many times have I felt robbed from a great hard fight like this.

I would say 2k Baseball games.

Unplayable in my opinion. Couldn't get past the 4 inning before crashing.

Disappointing because for a 360 owner, that's the only baseball game out there.

Find a flamethrower, grenadelauncher or machinegun in Dungeon Siege.

GTA4 was a disappointment as it lacked the humour and innovation from the previous games. I can probably forgive it for the fact that it's the 1st of the series on a new console...hopefully the next will be as big an improvement as San Andreas is over III

when the tanker bit ended in MGS2 and we learn that we have to control cockupfag a.k.a raiden instead 😠

the "boss" fight at the end of Halo 3. guilty spark sucks but i forgive it because the warthog escape is such an epic and fun level especially on co-op.

The end 'battle' of Gears of War 2.

Yeah, the end battle was lame in Gears 2.

But most end bosses are lame. I don't like the idea of an end boss.

also the ending to the new prince of persia(08). all that work for nothing.

end bosses are vital to a game. but yeah the skorge sucked ass along with the fable 2 boss(one hit kill). they should of just brought back jack of blades instead.

Not really.

Closure to a video game is vital, doesn't necessarily have to be a boss. In my opinion, most end bosses take away from the experience. I don't know how many times a boss leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you finish the game.

Half Life is a good example. Amazing game, but the boss battle was retarded. It sucked. Totally ruined what could of been a great ending. Why? Because people thought the game needed a boss battle.

Some games can do boss battles correctly. It makes sense in a beat em up, or an adventure game like Zelda, or even Resident Evil. But for FPS, they're never as good as the missions, or core gameplay.

The end battle of Gears of War 2 is definitely up there.

But I'd also put up the boss fight in Bioshock. It wasn't particularly bad, but it was very generic and predictable and safe which was too bad especially when compared to the rest of the game which wasn't afraid to do its own thing and break boundaries, a generic boss fight just didn't fit with the rest of the game.

Yes, boss fights aren't always necessary. Smas is absolutely right
