I've mostly avoided disappointments, so Id go for Quantum Conundrum. I liked the harder puzzles but the humor felt contrived and the story wasn't even going anywhere. Im a fan of first person platforming, and it had good gameplay but I guess sometimes that's not enough for me.
Diablo 3
Bought two copies, one was for a friend. Used vacation days and took a week off to play.
Friend quit after a week, had to work Black Friday and now I have to work the weekend before Christmas because I used my vacation days.
Just thinking about it makes my want to cry.

It's so fukin awful that even former RE5 haters began to love the game after playing this piece of crap.

Diablo 3, this is the game I get after waiting how long?

Probably Mario Kart 7. It was the last game I bothered buying before eventually trading my 3DS in. It just didn't come close to its DS or Wii counterparts. I didn't enjoy many of the new tracks (Music Park being the exception) and the gliding / underwater mechanics just weren't compelling enough. It's a shame, since I love pretty much every other iteration of Mario Kart. Since there was absolutely nothing else out for the 3DS that I wanted for at least a further six months or so after its release, I think I was expecting far too much.
Bonus: Sonic Adventure 2 HD on the Xbox Live Arcade. That game has just not aged well. My nostalgia goggles where just not powerful enough.

This.
Not half as bad as I remember it being, game is just a fucking shocker.
SA1, however, is still enjoyable to this day.

Mine has to be Assassin's Creed 3, I really didn't like the main character as much as I liked Ezio.

Out of curiosity, I counted.
Diablo 3 has so far been voted as 'most disappointing of the year' in this thread 69 times.
(I wish we could have a poll for this...)

Ragnarok Odyssey. I love stuff like Monster Hunter and PSO, but found this game to be wholly uninspiring and repetitive. And why the hell did I convince myself to DL over physical?! Anyway, my biggest disappointment game this year.
I guess Silent Hill HD would count too. I played post-patch on PS3 and wondered how bad it could be. Quite bad actually.

As before, Darksiders 2. Deviated too much from the structure of the first. It was all in all a rather dull, soulless game with a nasty change up in gameplay towards the end for a certain section.
Whilst I didn't buy the full game, RE6 was a nasty surprise going off the demo. Shitty camera and controls and turning the game into a shooter, even though there was good atmosphere for the Leon? parts.

I think that, Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 would win.
If you factor in Max Payne 3, it wasn't a good year for 3rd entries.
People saying Paper Mario are making me sad. I've been avoiding the thread for fear of spoilers so I don't know anything about it. I've asked for it for Christmas, is it really that bad?
No, most people playing it think its amazing.

This.
The first couple of levels were great. But the game gets incredibly easy as you get power ups and upgrades and I was playing it on hard.
It literally made me way less interested in the game. I also wish it had more gadgets/weapons.

We must have counted people who listed multiple games differently because I only had it at 67.
Top 10 up to post 476:
1) Diablo 3
2) Mass Effect 3
3) Assassin's Creed 3
4) Resident Evil 6
5) Halo 4
6) Guild Wars 2
7) Darksiders 2
8) Street Fighter X Tekken
9) Max Payne 3
10) SSX

Halo 4 is #5 on that list? It shouldn't even be on a list like this. Pretty surprised people were honestly disappointed by it. It made me fall back in love with the series. {shrugs}

Diablo 3, without a doubt. Although, I must admit, i have heard the game is strikingly better now.
Haven't experienced many disappointments thanks to restraining myself from impulse-buys for the past couple of years. But I had a slight relapse and impulse bought SFxT. Big mistake. Got some fun out of it, mainly in 2 vs 2 with my brother. The Tekken characters, Cole, Mega Man, and Pac Man were fun to fool around with too. But it wasn't worth $60. Online was just a mess between the gems, constant jabbing, and glitches. Usually I tough it out, but I just had to flat out quit playing SFxT online. Haven't down that since the mess that was Brawl's online.
Then there's the fact that I'd need to spend another $20 on top of the $60 in order to get the rest of the characters. And that DLC price will probably never drop, at least not permanently.

It's almost as if someone cut this straight from the top 10 2012 metacritic ratings or something. Good to see backlash towards overhyped and overrated games. Well lol other than RE6 that is, which surely is one of the worst rated games this year, across the board.

And I'm surprised when people are surprised. There's a huge list of legitimate critiques of Halo 4, especially if you're a fan of the series and its multiplayer.
Well I was looking forward to picking this upPaper Mario: Sticker Star. The announcement of that game was what made me a 3DS owner.
Then it gets released and it contains no story, no characters, and well, nothing even worth talking about.
My condolences

Diablo 3 - even in its current incarnation.
It's definitely not the worst game this year, but it was a mega disappointment, and continues to be.

I don't need to give you a reason.

Definitely. It's healthy to see well deserved ire aimed at bloated game development. It's the reason why small studios are doing such awesome work right now and actually being recognized for it.
Personally, I'm happy that such big games are also such big disappointments. It means we get more interesting games from the little guys.

For the majority of the year, I would have said that Max Payne 3 fit this title for me, but that was until I played and finished Hitman Absolution.
Yeah. The demo thing showed me it was bad, but I still got it because all my friends had it and I wanted to play with them. I ended up playing more than any of them and it led to the final fights with my ex-gf which ended our relationship shortly after.
So, thanks Diablo 3 for speeding up the process of a dying relationship?
