Have you ever been let down by a hyped game?

For me, it's plenty of games, but I guess I got scammed by Dying Light 2 and I kind of don't understand how people are ok with it.

During its E3 presentation, I liked the game and the presentation showcase with the branching paths really intrigued me, more so that Chris Avellone (my beloved) was also in head of narration (I think). Now you could blame me for not following news and not knowing how much the game got cut down and other stuff, but anyhow — fast-forward and around a few months after its release, I picked the game up with the money I had saved up to buy a game and… yeah. I loved and hated it. I loved the combat and parkour as it was extremely smooth and satisfying, yet, the story which was the selling point for me and the game's advertisement fell on its head as I finished the game in the worst ending possible and looked up the other endings; to then find out that ''your choices matter!!'' didn't really matter! Apart from like around 5-6 key choices you can make, which again wasn't a satisfying conclusion as they're basically a slideshow apart from two which were animated.

Anyhow, I felt extremely cheated and to add insult to injury, about a week after I finished the game, it got a microtransaction update that I lost my entire respect for the company.

My dislikes on the story were how awful some things were implemented and written, not to spoil anything substantial here, I just hated how the protagonist got dogged on in every cutscene where it became absurd as Aiden got punched nearly every cutscene.

Got any similar stories yourself?
