Video games that were a huge Letdown

[GrimmTeather]

I've gotten flack for this before, but I still say Dragon Quest 9 for the DS. The series has always been rooted in tradition and likes to take elements from past games, but 9 literally felt like it was stitched together from previous games and had offered nothing new at all*.

I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy. Everybody else seems to love the game...

* Yes, technically the system to change the way your characters look was new. But you see, that has nothing to do with the actual gameplay and plot. It's all aesthetic and therefore doesn't add anything new to the game.

Yes! I agree. Although I'm still having fun with it at the moment. The story has holes everywhere and what I mean by holes is, it's barely stitched together (you said something similar). I liked how you could see the enemies though, I've become sick of random battles. I'm looking forward to the online part of it (waiting for a dongle in the mail so I can do NDS online stuff... hopefully it works and/or is worth it).

Final Fantasy X was a huge let down for me. I bought a PS2 along with that one game. I started playing it and the voices put me off. I left it for years and only got around to playing it 2 years ago. I gave it a good decent go. The story was rubbish and I found it very hard to get into. I wasn't into the visuals much either. I think I like the distortion of the previous Final Fantasy games, how the characters look less than human (leaves more for my imagination to fill in the gaps). Anyway, I disliked the game and haven't finished it. Too much drama, too quick.
