Biggest video game disappointment?

Mass Effect has the Vanguard class for people who get bored popping up and down behind waist-high objects. It doesn't really take off until the second game though, where the cooldowns are much shorter and abilities are better overall.

Teleport smash -> melee (activates bonus shield + stuns) -> shotgun to face.

It's also the best way to play Bioshock Infinite.

Grim Dawn doesn't have random maps I think? Would be a dealbreaker for me.

There's a DLC which gives you something which looks akin to the rifts from D3, going off the trailer (I haven't played it, but it's only $5). But otherwise yeah, not randomized. It's still a great fucking game though, amazing class system and I love the crap out of the Arcanum meets Warhammer meets Lovecraft meets Diablo setting - game has a great vibe, and they did a great job at scattering the lore in little bits over the game, much like the first Diablo.

Maybe not a popular opinion but I think it beats the crap out of Path of Exile.

Vanguard is probably the only game that I've completely immersed myself in and was really let down come release. The sad part is the game was doomed for awhile, and it was pretty well known, but I still stormed into launch 110% sold it was gonna be the shit.

The entire black hole era of MMORPG's was pretty grim, enough to completely destroy the future of MMORPG's.

The maps are "slightly" randomized. They have a bunch of spots where rocks/carts/whatever can spawn and block the path, so while the map itself is the same, you might have to go right, center or left through some part of it. You can backtrack and clear the blocked ways if you want though and the rest of it isn't randomized at all other than what you mentionned(I think, no idea haven't bought it). Game was definitely solid though especially since the price isn't really high. It is however not as good as Titan Quest imo, even though it's a lot less shit to play since it isn't 10years old or whatever TQ is. But I liked TQ class design and item systems a lot more(that said I mostly only played the heavily modded version of TQ so it might be about the same/better than vanilla, just worse than modded TQ imo).

Yeah UO, EQ, Dark Age of Camelot, and WoW were the only ones that really delivered. The list of failure MMO's and disappointments is too long to even recount.

Vanguard Class Best Class.

Rage, or is it RAGE?
After getting my money's worth out of Borderlands 1 easily three times over, my long time gaming buddy tells me Rage was like it.
Holy fuck the game is unplayable.
I was pissed at the friend for a long time.

Whoever said Borderlands 2... that's interesting. I honestly can't think of a sequel that improved more upon its original. In terms of presentation, gameplay, story, characters, content, I thought bl2 was superior.

The guy complaining about borderlands 2 was extremely nitpicky. Like, he couldn't light people on fire in the same exact way or melt them into puddle of acid.

Dishonored.

i played through the end of the whore house level and cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of this game or why so many people raved about it? am i playing it wrong or something?

i see a ton of comparisons to Deus Ex and I played and beat the original at least 10x and loved it.

i liked DX's conspiracy theory/cyber punk theme - i cannot get into Dishonored's retro hipster whalepunk theme, its hilariously ridiculous.
i liked DX's plot - DH's plot is tired and rehashed
DX had cool aug's etc - DH's magic shit just seems ridiculous to me in a game where im hunted by Steampunk Hunter Killers robots

I agree with everything you just said. Nothing can touch DX (cyberpunk 2077 soon enough)and steampunk isn't my thing.

Just Cause 3. #2 was a fucking awesome game and 3 was a buggy piece of shit that never got patched correctly. 5 minute loading screens and explosions that drop your FPS to like 3 is retarded.

Worms 3d.
Family played the heck out of Worms, so when I moved off and got an Xbox, I grabbed Worms 3d without even looking at it

EQ2, not even close. I raced to 50 on my server, 2nd, then realized what a shit game I'd just reached the end of. What makes it all worse is all my friends chose WoW instead, and I love to be at that initial rush/cutting edge. Missed out on all the greatness that was the first few months of WoW and being at the forefront.
