Kinda bummed... let's make this the biggest disappointments in gaming thread.
Let's discuss the biggest let downs in gaming history and the moments where you are on the verge of glory but get shot down due to boss cheapness, bugs or whatever. Anyway, why I posted this shit:

So I'm playing through Super Robot Taisen: OG for GBA on my DS (never finished it for whatever reason) and I have been semi-regularly for the last 3 months level grinding certain characters and shit mostly, to get all the secret shit. And this game is a turn based strategy in the vein of Fire Emblem, but with giant robots.

Yeah, so I'm playing and I get to this point where I need to blow up a certain boss dude, who will pussy out and leave when his health is halved. See, there is a hidden weapon in the game that is "teh uber" as the kids say and you only get it by doing this in hard mode. So being a boss he has like 45676345768367846678.275 HP and only Supreme attack with the double damage spell and a support attack from an adjacent teammate will take this guy down, right? Right. So I line up the 2 best attackers in the 2 best mechs I have and get to it.







He has 300 fucking HP left. And I don't have my bad ass weapon. Fuck!

No problem, redo the level, right? 6 times later with every combination that could possible work and fuck all. FUCK!

No problem, all I gotta do is start the game over, work my ass through 26 missins and level grind semi-regularly for another 3 months, right? FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!

Alas, I have moved on with no hope for getting that weapon because I didn't level grind for like a half hour more.

At least I still have just about all the other secrets unlocked or at least half way there to being unlocked. This one was by far the hardest.

And then I think back on how because of licensing this and SWT:OG 2 are probably the only Super Robot Wars/Taisen games that will ever come Stateside.

When I was a little kid, after playing the teenage mutant ninja turtles arcade game, I begged my parents to buy it for me for nintendo. Luckily my birthday was coming up. Little did I know, that the TMNT game that was out for nintendo at the time, was NOT the one in the arcades. It was an utter crapfest, and I almost cried on the spot. But I didn't want to make my mom feel bad so I MANNED UP (at like age 6; take notes sammyg) and smiled and acted happy.

It wasn't even out for nintendo at that point. Remember the 2 added stages to that, tho?

Seriously had conniptions over those damn magical tiger things that came out of the wall.

I loaned my TMNT tape to a neighborhood kid and it was returned with glitter on it. I'm not clear on how that happened, but I still have it and it is probably the most fabulous copy of TMNT around.

That first Turtles game was fucking impossible. That's probably one of my biggest disappointments. I could never get past that level where you had to diffuse the bombs underwater. I think there were six, but I could only ever do four. God damn it.

At least Turtles in Time was the shit.

Let me also tell you about how ECSTATIC I was for WCW Nitro to be released on Playstation. Months of anticipation, and I thought the graphics looked AMAZING from what I had seen (I was pretty wrong there). The day it came out, I had to call four different places before I found a Toy R' Us (about 45 minutes away) that had a copy. My grandpa took me to go get it, and when I finally got back home to play it....

.....it was the worst fucking game to ever exist and I was just gutted.

That was the worst thing about gaming back when the internet was still just for cheat codes. No way to see ahead of time whether a game was total poo.

I subscribed to GamePro magazine, though! I think they just gave every game at least decent reviews though in hopes of boosting the industry. I feel like I've been had.

Maybe Sega'll revive it. That series has one of the biggest and most vocal followings in gaming. You'll probably have to get a PS3 or Xbox 360 if the do tho.

Hate when that happens. Cause then you sit there in like a delusional state, trying vainly to convince yourself that the game isn't absolute shit. Like "Oh, well at least the menu is in english!"

Exactly. It was like, 'well, at least the nWo theme music is in the game', but it turns out it was a different version of THAT as well that was never even used on TV.

This is a quote from two years ago, but I'm sure it still stands: “As for Shenmue, I would have to say at this stage, it is worth forgetting about. If all the fans get any rich relatives together and channel it though Dojo perhaps we could buy rights, hire Suzuki (he’d likely say yes) and independently make the game under license from Sega at no risk to them. That is the only way it will get made at this stage I think.”

Considering it took millions upon millions to do the first two games, I don't think anyone is willing to front the money for a third game

Shenmue is my favorite game, I like everyone else would love to see a third installment, or finish the story in some form or fashion. Like Vietnamese Crippler said though, it took millions just to make the first two, but hopefully they will make a third one anyways..... someday

The director of Shenmue, Yu Suzuki, wanted to spend as much as it took to bring his vision to life.
