What's the most hyped you've been for something that ended up being a total letdown?
Mine's the Eragon movie. I grew up with those books, so I was ecstatic to hear that there was a movie being made. Unfortunately, I was too young to see the warning signs of how awful it was gonna be and got to experience the full letdown as the story I loved so much was butchered on the big screen.

The 2008 Buffalo Bills, when they began the season 6-1, and ended the season 7-9.

Eragon was pretty damn bad, but the worst one for me was the "City of Bones" movie. I loved those books so much, and was so excited for the movie. I even managed to take my older brother with me as well.
The action was awesome, the first 30 minutes was really good...and then they just took a massive dump on the plot. It was the first time I wanted to walk out of a movie theater, just because they warped the plot and spoiled stuff from OTHER BOOKS. WHO F*CKING DOES THAT?

Spiderman 3. Venom was always one of my favourite Spiderman villains, and I'm sad that they fucking butchered him as a character.

Gurren Lagann, I watched it cause Monty and Kerry said it was their favourite anime but I really don't think it's anything special.

I would have to say RTX13.... It was hyped so much for me and the only real fun I had was hanging out with my friends rather than enjoying the convention.

Trust me, I know how you feel, I failed Roundabout on expert bass at 90something percent.

@M4xwell:
The worst thing is that it isn't even that hard of a sequence, it's just fucking boring. The tempo is kinda messed up as well, but still, shouldn't have been that complicated.

@Eddie451:
Is that the new one? I remember buying a bunch of games from the series on a steam sale, but never got around playing any of them.

Gears Judgement. I went out of my way to pre-order that game for early access and it was a complete disappointment.

battlefield 4 on xbox one as I have had it since xbox one came out but still haven't finished it because my saves just disappear
MLP_JoshF
@Mozzla94: Didn't they release a patch for that? I wouldn't know since I don't own BF4, but I thought I heard that they patched that somewhere.

With respect to games, most certainly halo 4. The bar was set awfully high by halo 3 though. But generally becoming an 18 year old, a legal adult, was pretty disappointing.
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@1:
I'm not quite sure whether it was becoming, legally speaking, an adult, or university per se, but I do agree. It sucked.

@TheXRayFactor: I played the shit out of it, i'm not lying, maybe about 155 hours, but it didn't fulfill THPS 3 hype.
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@M4xwell:
THPS 2 still beats the shit out of 3, though.
And so does Underground 2 as well.
M4xwell Insanitarium
@TheXRayFactor: THIS. Holy crap THUG 2 was fantastic, still play it.
And i'm going out of a limb saying Project 8 was too short.
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@M4xwell:
Project 8 is one of the few I haven't played yet. One day, maybe.
Now, get ready for that curveball, but I'd go as far to say that Proving Grounds was, easily, one of the most entertaining games from the series.
M4xwell Insanitarium
@TheXRayFactor:
Going for the one that I haven't played: well played, indeed. For what I've seen, it looked good.
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@M4xwell:
The whole "create your trick on the go" mechanic was really neat, albeit a tad op (well, you could easily rack up > 100M combos). The story and the missions were interesting as well, plus the fact you could change the environment to help you.
Pretty good 10/10 would play again

The Series Of Unfortunate Events movie was pretty fucking bad. As far as games go BRINK was very disappointing.
Parks Ass To Ass
@TheXRayFactor: I really enjoyed Proving Grounds, it was a fun arcadey game. But after I played Skate 2 I couldn't go back to it.

@sonny88p: Apparently they're making City of Ashes as well. Why bother when you spoil two major plot points of the series?

@TheXRayFactor: In fact now that i think about it, i remember knowing before i became an adult that it wasn't anything to look forward to. The real disappointment was learning, through becoming an adult, that adults totally suck and don't deserve the respect i gave them as a kid. Children and adults are identical. That was the letdown.
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@1:
"Children and adults are identical"
Spot on. I remember looking forward to it, counting the days to "freedom". Now I don't even remember that, not only I'm an adult, but I'm already 19 as well. Absolutely nothing good came out of it: army, voting...
Oh well. I feel old.

Discovering letdown was, in fact, its own word rather than it being "let down".

@Kabooshm: I actually liked the Lemony Snicket parts of the books more than the actual story's themselves.

Hmm... This is a toughie. I try not to hype things up for myself so i dont get let down.
I guess I'd say Mass Effect 3, which was okay if you don't think about the disappointing things. I think it was more of a letdown to me because it made me feel like I cared for it more than the people responsible for making it. I was ready to replay that series for eternity, but 3 just took that my ability to do that away.
Oh well...

@Jakalarf:
It was actually this scene that ruined it for me, just after he saved his wife/girlfriend from the captivity of some crazy evil guy, he ditches her to go dance with his cousin who completely dilutes the entire love story.
