Hmmm, didn't expect Skyrim to be in there... The rest weren't much of a shock considering.

Lol! I am glad to say I have only encountered one or two major bugs on my 360 version and as such didn't find it at all disappointing. I am sad to say Rage was a disappointment, had such high hopes for it.
 
Skyrim eh? Well I had experienced about 3 major bugs in the entire 80+ hours I spent playing it. Not sure it deserved to be on the list since it was my GOTY, but to each his own.

One of my mates had it on xbox and after he installed a patch he said dragons were flying backwards and a whole bunch of stuff broke. He actually stopped playing it. Its better now, but that was pretty crazy.
 
Interesting choices for most disappointing games, alot of them very deserving... Rage for me looked extremely promising up until release with all the bugs and things make me not want to buy it and wrote it off... As for skyrim, is debatable it was a success but the bugs could make the game hard to play and thats why it be the best and one of the worst for the year.
 
I have the PS3 version, and I have not seen one bug that has put me off this game... I think everyone is just too bitchy, and should look at the 99.9999% good and get over the 0.0001% bad.

Also, funny how RAGE, Dead Island and Duke Nukem were games I really wanted, but never bought. Glad about that now!

I have not encountered any glitches yet but the guys reporting bugs are probably playing a lot more than me and exploring every inch of Skyrim.

I played the first Lego Star Wars and I enjoyed it but from there onwards the game faded.
 
I haven't played Skyrim but everyone that plays loves it so i cant see how can be on the list. And if bugs are main reason then almost all the games that comes out will be on the list. Name one game that doesn't have any bugs on release date

It depends on the staffer who played it, some people forgive a buggy game others are less kind. Its all relative.
 
Crysis 2 needs a spot on that list. So far skyrim has been pretty fun, I haven't encountered very serious bugs in it, etc.
Crysis 2 had a lot more bugs than skyrim and was quite boring compared to the original, in my opinion.
 
People are going to hate me for this, but I agree skyrim was disappointing to ME. Not for the same reasons though. My first elder scrolls experience was Morrowind, so maybe not as far back as some people here but don't think it should matter.(And I'm comparing each for its time, i will agree overall Skyrim is better if you compare them side by side)

When I first played Morrowind I was amazed by the world, each town looked different You had a real sense of exploration. Oblvion kick this aspect in the balls, and every town looked pretty much the same. Skyrim improved over this but not to the level of morrowind.

Fast travel, yes it makes things easier, but we don't really play games because they are easy do we? I remember in morrowind how happy i was to finally be able to use the portals in the mage guilds to travel between towns, instead of using those giant beetle things. It adds to the idea of you are exploring a world.

Repairing your items, and this kind of applies to the fast travel. You use to fill up on repair hammers before you left on you expedition. There was a real sense of you had to prepare to go on an adventure.

Morrowind you could fly. Why was this removed?

One last thing, and there more, but I do believe this needs a special mention. The bloody interface. it’s such a piece of shit. Honestly what were they thinking. The quick menu is tiny, why? There is no need for it to be so small when the game is pausing anyway. Why aren't there more filters on the main menu? A single section for all my armour, why wasn’t it split into boots, chest.. so on. There are so many other things to complain about with the interface. For company that makes amazing games they seriously lack in the interface department.

With this said I have very much enjoyed playing it, but i was expecting more when thinking back at what they have produced in the past.

The bugs, not a big issue to me. I have one pretty big one, where I helped take over a town, but the old guards remained, and keep hunting me down when i visit the town. I try pay them off or let them arrest me, but they dont accept the fine or take me to prison. When i try pay or go to prison it just resets and they attack me again or want to take me to prison....rinse and repeat... i now try avoid the particular town. Not the end of the world since there is so much to do else where anyway.

Nah, Crysis improved on almost every aspect of the original. Plus it came to console, I loved Crysis 2 and got very bored in Crysis 1.

+1
When I tried to replay Crysis 1 on PC again I just couldn't see it as the amazing game as it used to after I had played the sequel, because the sequel improved on the game in so many ways.
 
Although it was by no means an absolute failure, we found Skyrim’s buggy release code a little jarring. By most accounts it’s still a great game, but we’re waiting for the modding community to make develop it into something truly special.

Name a problem with Skyrim and there's probably already a mod out there that fixes it. Sounds like whoever wrote the article didn't even bother to use any mods. There were over 1000 created within the first 2 weeks.

I'm not surprised Skyrim is on the list. Everyone loves bashing the modern Elder Scrolls games, and they'll find any excuse to do it. The same thing happened with Oblivion. It won numerous GOTY awards but people constantly complained about it.
 
Not sure how Skyrim and MW3 can be on that list, they are EXACTLY what I expected of them. MW3 was like MW2, if you expected any different then it was your disappointment was your own fault for being unreasonable. Skyrim is like Oblivion but better in almost every aspect so not sure how that can disappoint, hell if it didn't have some random silly bugs I think people would have felt cheated. :)

Only real complain I have about Skyrim is the PC UI, other than that my complaints are indicative of the general style of games that Bethesda make so I can't really say I'm disappointed by them considering I knew they would be there before I purchased.
