A game or system that you were excited about...

it always seemed to be this indestructable kiddie platform with a few amazing games. I guess I called that one right.

Wii already has a better lineup than N64 ever did, though! Better than GameCube too. Neither of these are an accomplishment, but hey, just saying.

How did you guys think a lot of the shit mentioned in this thread would be good in the first place?

morrowind fans loved gothic 2. i am a morrowind fan. it seemed to make sense, then i learned that there was a subset of morrowind fans who apparently are blind and dislike good combat, didnt know about them before.

GH is full of EMO.

Name one song that is actually of the genre "emo" other than My Name is Jonas.

Oh yeah, I forgot WWF Attitude. Anticipated it for months, bought it the day it came out, and felt it was a pile of shit that was just Warzone with more characters. I never did like that engine.

Lemme throw in that "Klax" on the Lynx beats out anything on the N64 or Jaguar. Hands down.

And I'm not editing it because I agree that Shin Johnpv's comment is batshit insane fanboy nonsense when none of us in this thread have played SF4 yet, and none of us are going to for quite some time, I'd imagine.

Whatever, my hopes and expectations for a sequel to SFIII, were ones of a nice animated 2D game, that continued the story and gameplay mechanics from SFIII, and brought in some new characters. Everything released about the game so far, from screen shots, to character rosters, to things that the shitty producer has stated about the game reveal it to be none of those things.

I blame Gamefan for jizzing all over themselves, when talking about the Jaguar. They had reviews for Tempest 2000, AVP and Cybermorph that sounded like the best gaming ever had. Needless to say, I'd bought a bundle deal a year later from Telegames.
