Today I'm going to look at nine eighteen games that I had high initial
expectations for, expectations that were shattered once I got ahold of them. This is a
bit different from my Games I Tapped Out On Midway Through and Games I Didn't Enjoy But Still Finished lists in that, whether I finished
these games or not, they didn't live up to the hype in any way.
Note: There are a few "no-brainer" entries that won't be on the list (for instance, No Man's Sky) because I haven't played them. Also, there are some games that very much deserve to be on this list (Fable)
but won't because I played them well after release (aka after I knew
better than to expect anything). In short, this list is limited to
things that I played while the hype was still strong, only to find them
to be a huge letdown. Also, nothing on this list is necessarily a bad game. Some of them might fall into that category, while others might just be things that didn't jive with me personally.
Note 2: Previously posted in January 2018 with nine entries. Updated with nine new ones.
