Mass Effect 3 was so bad I quit gaming for about 3 months. Of course I lost about 20 pounds so...thanks?
 
Shadow Hearts 3 ~ The game was basically a never ending stream of lolsorandumz humor. It was like playing 9gag the game
Golden Sun Dark Dawn ~ To this day it sill amazes me that they were able to get so much wrong with such a simple premise
Saints Row 3-4 ~ excessive "wacky" humor
Disgaea 3 ~Mao is a shit protectionist
Fire Emblem Fates ~ fuck the people who localized this, thank God there's a fan translation patch

I had a feeling Shadow HEarts 3 would be like that. Given that the series was gradually getting dumber.
 
Stronghold 3 - Jesus fucking christ, literally nothing worked on launch, the mouse cursor was literally an inch away from where your mouse actually was. You would essentially lose the game in the first 15 seconds if you didn't instantly do a certain build order to make sure your workers didn't all die from starvation in the first 15 seconds. In a game called Stronghold, Walls did absolutely nothing, enemies could just walk over them, wolves could climb up towers and kill archers.

Warhammer Online - .... Everyone knows. Possibly the most hyped MMO of all time outside of WoW and the game was a buggy 1/3rd finished mess on an absolute horseshit engine with loading screens between every zone, oh and the entire server crashed anytime more than 10 people tried to RVR and they had about 150 servers on launch so you only had like 20

Saints Row: The Third
My lord they butchered everything that made 2 great and changed the franchise forever moving it into the LOL SO RANDUMB XD territory.
SR2 had so much silliness too of course but they pulled it off well. Oh and let's not forget dumbed down customization.

TOR gets way more crap than it deserves, IMHO.

Not enough for it's horrid retconning of KotoR2 and spitting in the face of KotoR 2 fans because Obsidian are far better writers than the hacks at Bioware and Bioware literally had a little whinge that people like KotoR 2's writing more than 1.
 
The Shadow of Revan expansion for ToR. I still can't believe bioware took a Jedi so powerful that he makes Palpatine look like a quadruple amputee and turned him into this half ass boss fight. It's such a waste of a character that was so well received.
 
My friend gave me god eater 2 from this humble bumble thing and man I'm surprisingly disappointed. Shit I'd rather play a compile heart game this just feels like a super uninteresting monster hunter.

This. It was even worse given that SH2 was one of the very best JRPGs on the PS2.

But SH3 had an far more boring protagonist, focused far too much on lolrandomz humor, and was really uninteresting in terms of story and atmosphere.
 
Grand Theft Auto V.

I miss searching alleyways and random corners for hidden packages, spray tags, and better weapons.
I miss making fuck you money from being a rising crime star.
I miss side-diversions that are balls-out, fun and violent.
I miss eating, buffing up/getting fat.
I miss choice.
I don't want to play golf.
I don't want to play tennis.
I don't want to play the stock market.
I don't want to awkwardly train my fat dog.
I don't want to download a goddamn app to my real phone so I can train my fat dog.
I don't want to fail a mission for walking twenty feet past a building.
I don't want to mess with online bullshit.
I don't want to play a controlled interactive Scorsese movie. I want to have fun again.

What the fuck happened to Grand Theft Auto? It hasn't been good since San Andreas. Also with all the bragging Rockstar did about how giant huge the map is, the actual city is tiny. L.A. is not one carefully sectioned off Mexican ghetto and one carefully sectioned off black ghetto. It is a bunch of interconnected ghettos. California is not an island. Why is there only one strip club that you can enter?

The more time goes by, the worse V ages. I am apprehensive about VI. As pretty and big as it will probably be, they will never revert to the PS2 era of GTA fun.

Is it bad like IV with you going on dates with your bromances? That really made me switch to Saints Row 2 for my open box crime sim.

Bromances are optional in this one, thank God. They don't spam your phone to force you on dinner dates, which is a huge improvement over IV. There's not much fun stuff to do with your in-game friends aside from drive drunk and get chased by the police.
 
Dragon Ball FighterZ. While the game does have a fair amount of global gameplay mechanics to work/get creative with, but the depth of individual characters just felt like a puddle. Small pool of normals, specials, and supers across the board for most of the cast left it feeling like it was going to play out like SF5 where there is little room for personalization in execution, all players end up following the same flow chart more or less. And with the DLC making it a $100+ after tax, I just coulnd't stick with it and got a refund.

If it gets re-released with the DLC characters added as a more reasonable price I'll probably get it again.

What really want is a Capcom vs SNK 3... but maybe not from current Capcom.
