I feel awful for Gimli he keeps buying *expletive deleted* games that he anticipates for weeks, and is utterly disapointed. I feel bad for others too of course, but Gimli has done it like 4 times in as many months. Examples include: The WarZ SimCity Aliens: Colonial Marines So I make this thread in honor of Gimli and all people who get tortured by bad games, name all of your least favorite games or just games that suck hard

AwesomeDude, you would have a very long list probably, that is of course if you EVER ACTUALLY PLAYED HALF THE GAMES YOU OWN!!!!!!!!
But yeah, a LOT of people got screwed on WarZ. The other two I don't know as much about, but from what I heard about SimCity its mainly that they were pushing it to be a multi-player game, so there are lots of things that are designed to work best with more then one person. And of course the whole (supposed) simulations been done by THERE servers, thus requiring to be online at all times, that and they said that the servers were going to be up to the task, which they TOTALLY weren't! Thing is, I bet SimCity will be OK in a few months, I mean the game play/mechanics will still be the same, so any of the bad ones of those will be there, but from what I have heard/seen its not a BAD game, its just that a lot of the stuff got screwed up on launch because they weren't prepared (which companies NEVER are), and it was pretty buggy. Again this is all just form what I have heard/read/seen.
Colonial Marines I know nothing about so... yeah cant say anything about that.

Oh god... Colonial Marines... That game sucks so bad that nations wish to nuke the game. The games is worse than bad, hell worse than horrible! The game is bugged, glitches everywhere, bad AI, nonlogical story (if there's a story to speak of at all) So fuck you guys for ruining an awesome movie franchise!
However, SimCity IS playable offline but you need to do stuff in order to do that. Thanks EA for ruining one of my favorite games. I hope you randomly catch in flames.

I think you guys just buy too many games too easily...
I have never been disappointed by a game, because I don't buy a game unless I like it.

We think they're going to be good from trailers, reviews and what not, then we buy it and its not good or fun for us. We don't just go "Oh hey, cool pictures on Steam. Must buy."

Well i have to agree with William on this one. And here is example why. Game is IL2-Cliffs of Dover Everyone knows Ubisoft is probably the biggest developer in gaming community and they published this game.Add to that 1C as developers,which is the biggest Russian developer and has great reputation for Simulation games(and strategy games too i hear) with previous title IL-1946 which probably has around 90% score on meta critics. So,being fan of the franchise i bought game right away because so much was promised and when big companies say something you don't expect them to fail(or lie)because they will lose customers that way. Ok,so what happened? Ubisoft being Ubisoft rushed poor 1C to release game that was maybe(probably not even there)in alpha stage.And of course lots of bugs,glitches and whole lot of options that were promised were simply not working on release day. Guys tried to fix it,but lack of investment from Ubi forced them to release one final patch last year.It fixed a lot of things,but looking now at the promised features it looks disappointing.So they abandoned game for good few months ago saying there is no profit for them in trying to fix game. Naturally players were pissed off(which will probably show when they release their next game and many won't buy it). But then month ago i found out about community trying to mod the game by themselves. And result is that few days ago we got great,amazing new patch made by players.And there is more of that to come. So,to cut it short.Be patient and if the developer or community cares game will hopefully reach it's potential

We don't just go "Oh hey, cool pictures on Steam. Must buy." *cough*AwesomeDude*cough* Joking aside, normally I only buy games after I have done a lot of research, watching reviews, trailers, game play videos, sometimes even a couple lets play videos, before I buy a game, however there are some games that I have bought, and plan to buy, simply because of who the developer is and that I trust their next game will be pretty good. Examples for this year are, SC2 Heart of the Swarm, Rome 2 Total War, EU4 (probably will get this but not 100% sure yet), HL2 Episode 3 (whenever it comes out xD). But yeah, sometimes games a bust, and I think its sad for the people who bought them, but flip side is hopefully the next game that company releases won't do as well, and will force them to work harder at making a good game. Still sucks in the short term, but long term if a game is a HUGE bust, usually who ever made it will either give up on making that series, go out of business, or make a good follow up game.

Yeah I am sure something like sim city will be pretty good once they fix it, a lot of big games like that have a rocky launch because things just go wrong. This is a little old school but another game series that the 3rd once ruined was Master of Orion. Master of Orion 2 was the best 4X space strategy game I have EVER played!!!!!! Then Master of Orion 3 just screwed it up SOOOOO bad. Lets hope Bannerlords will be good
