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.

Wasteland 2 i thought i'm getting a Fallout 2 but better, but instead it didn't grab my attention at all, have to quit early in the game but still passed the refund period. I tried to get into it again and again but still doesn't work.

Grim Dawn This one being called a "better Diablo" and i was expecting something that will grab my attention, but really it's kinda boring and uninspiring. I think it's much more similar to Torchlight than Diablo, which i also couldn't get into.

Space Pirate and Zombie 2 it's very different than SPAZ1 and i don't quite like the transition, couldn't get into it.

Dont Starve i'm not sure why i couldn't get into this one, i like survival crafting stuff but my soul is rejecting this one.

Spec Ops: The Line Everyone want you to play this one for the story, but dang the whole game is just so boring. I have to force myself to finish it, story is okay i guess.

Oh man I thought I was alone with Grim Dawn! It was pretty boring.

I didn't understand Don't Starve for years. Its constantly rated high for a great co-op experience, so I forced myself to understand it. A few hours in, I get the appeal of why some like it.

As a crafting survival though... It doesn't feel like you're building anything of real value, and so you're clearly crafting things in a particular linear order to solve the next puzzle.

I think i might try it some other time, i bought it just after i finished subnautica so my expectation just isn't in the right place.

I really liked Spec ops the line's story, but it doesn't hook you I can see it being boring.

I haven't played Wasteland 2, but I quite enjoyed Wasteland 3. I've played it through a couple of times. Might be worth giving it a go?
