I don't usually watch series. But I had so much hope after a friend made me watch Westworld. Then when Westworld 2 came out your title describes how I feel about it.

Diablo III
I don't care what anyone says, Cyberpunk 2077 is still a snoozefest. So disappointing. I was so hyped for so long.
Full Disclosure: I haven't played Phantom Liberty because I can't justify buying it when the base game is still so mediocre.
While I disagree, yeah why would you buy an expansion when you didn't enjoy the first campaign. That's just sanity there.
The only good part of the game is the amazing original teaser trailer and the netflix show.
Man, that trailer. We thought we were going to get something with the depth of Disco Elysium and Witcher level worldbuilding, but instead got "future pew pew" fps railroading that barely worked.
I got my PS5 just before this came out and almost bought it, but before it was released, I remember seeing a lot of reviewers online saying they had to sign agreements that they would not fully disclose the state of the game and I knew at that point this wasn’t going to be good. The memes were thought.

ET for the Atari 2600. Yes, I’m old.
Pac-Man might not have looked like the arcade version, but it was close enough, and we played the hell out of it. ET was a confusing snooze.
Wasn’t that the game that killed video games for six years? Or at least was pinned as such by reporters lol
The Atari crash was a lot more multifaceted than that, but E.T. is often credited as one of the biggest factors. Though it was arguably more of a symptom of a lack of quality control as the market was being flooded with rushed titles.

No Man's Sky. So much of what was promised was missing, the world just felt empty. It's a much better game now.
I feel like I saw through the hype on that one. I like space games, but you can't make what they promised interesting without some incredible things that the game didn't have. It's just going to be nearly infinite boring generic planets. Without systems to make them unique then there's no reason to care about any of them.
I did follow it up to launch, and I pirated it when it launched because I wanted to see it. Yeah, it sucked. I tried it again a few years ago because they supposedly made it actually good, but I still don't get it. It's still got the issue where no planet is interesting because there are infinite like it. Yeah, you can build a base now, but I couldn't get into it. Some people seem to love it now though, so good for them.

The original Super Mario Bros Movie.
That movie is magical! ... just ... not exactly on purpose, nor too related to actual Mario.

Happy Gilmore 2. I absolutely adore the first one, and I thought "Well, the second one can't be bad. it's such a great first movie!" Ugh. I was wrong. So very wrong.
Worst. Movie. Ever.
Yea I haven’t seen it yet but a lot of my dumb coworkers were explaining it to me and just from there explaining I was like nah no thanks. I say dumb coworkers because all of them are extremely conservative and all on the anti woke bs.
Save yourself the time. Dont bother with it
The excessive flashbacks were what got to me. If any movie could expect that fans would've watched the first movie 50+ times and be able to quote most of it, I think Happy Gilmore would be on that list.
You’re gonna die, clown!
I thought it was a really good sequel with a nice twist and redemption arc. Considering the first one was almost 30 years ago, it was a test to see if they could capture the humor of the time while updating it.
Now, the most recent Bill and Ted? That did NOT work, and I turned it off after 30 minutes despite wanting so incredibly badly to want to like it.
