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.

Exactly. Which is why I ended up with over 1000 hours between Skyrim and Fallout playthroughs, and far less than that in all the other games of both series' combines

I didn't work any harder building up a skill tree in Morrowind or oblivion then Skyrim, I'm usually just walking around talking to people or looking at the forests instead of thinking about the skills at all. Playstyles.

When you mentioned fallout, do you mean that the newer fallout games were easier for you to navigate the skill tree as well?

Kinda. Fallout 4's levelling system (and decisions) is dramatically easier than earlier games. I'm a bit rustier, but I early-quit my last New Vegas playthrough over it.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
