It could be an album, movie, tv show, whatever.
The percy jackson movie. I couldn’t finish it.
I am still mad that I paid actual money to see Valerian and the city of 1000 worlds
Payday 3. I had 2k hours in Payday 2, done every heist on death sentence one down and when the beta for Payday 3 came out my friends and I tried it and wow it was bad. We tried it again after it came out and had a few patches and it’s still bad.
Eyes Wide Shut, Billy Bat, and in general every thriller story that ditches the text in favor of the subtext
The movie version of The House with a Clock in its Walls.
Cyberpunk 2077. Hands down.
Disappointed doesnt even fully encapsulate my feelings throughout knowing this games existance
Heres a list of a 100 words that describe what I felt at various stages; Since its been announced all the way to the last hour I sunk into playing this game
7 years of developement time for one of the worst releases in gaming history
Not even an RPG as orignally promised, just another futuristic shooter.
Just missed damn near every mark, I’d time machine back just to tell myself to let that game go
Have you played it? Like after the stability fixes it’s probably one of the best modern rpgs.
From start to finish, and its not that I didn’t have fun with it after they made it stable. Its that fact that as someone who is heavily into the genre of cyberpunk and love rpg gameplay with wide range of customization and choosing your own adventure in a content rich world, it was underwelming for all the hype.
At first, it was severly lacking, not getting what was a major selling point for what could of been a revolutionary AAA cyberpunk game was a big slap in the face for peeps like me who waited so long to play the game.
Sure its fun now, it was fun even with the hilariously game breaking glitches; however, thats not what was promised and that disappointing part of the experence cant be push asided
The mortal kombat 2 movie that came out recently, it was an empty CGI fest, with little focus on combat or the gore from the original games
FDR American Badass.
It’s a B-movie starring Barry Bostwick as Franklin D. Roosevelt, fighting against Nazi werewolves with a heavily weaponized wheelchair.
The trailer was hilarious. And then I actually watched it with a few friends for one of our monthly film nights.
You know when someone tries way too hard to be edgy and vulgar and it goes from funny to downright uncomfortable? This was like the film equivalent of that. Some scenes genuinely drag on way too long because Bostwick needs to crack another half-a-dozen sex jokes. He genuinely comes across as lecherous, creepy and giving me Chevy Chase vibes (not in a good way.)
We made it about 30 minutes through the film until we had to switch it off because it was just so bad. And I genuinely had to apologize to everyone for even nominating this movie.
You quit too early! It totally redeemed itself by the end!
Just kidding, I’ve never even heard of it, but your review of it made me want to check it out right away. It’s sounds like my kind of movie.
I knew a Piccolo once.
Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Loved the first one. Only negative I had seen about DD2 was the performance wasn’t great. It’s fucking dookie. Tons of great ideas that aren’t executed well or for more than a single, short-as-fuck quest and then never used again.
The best part of the game is the Sphynx; and even those puzzles are a bit stupid toward the end. Like needing to remember where the very first medallion thing you picked up was. By the time you’d realistically find the Sphynx without any external guidance, you’d have found a ton of those fuckers and you sure as shit wouldn’t think to mark down where after the fact.
Combat gets repetitive quick as enemies spawn constantly, and this includes big shit like griffons that can literally fly in while you’re approaching the end of a long journey and snatch you up and carry you across the damn world to their nest.
Every little thing you do has some long-winded animation you can’t cancel tied to it, and NPCs walking along roads constantly stop you to initiate meaningless dialogue; it doesn’t just not respect your time, it pisses on it.
And to top it all off the story is stupid, short, and ends abruptly before you even know what the hell is really going on. This is including what little extra you can get after a NG+ cycle which makes it even more annoying that you are required to do the whole fucking game twice to still get a shitty ending that doesn’t answer a single question you might have about the events of the plot.
I fucking hate this game.

I guess books fall in the “whatever” category :P I was majorly disappointed by The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton. I actually enjoyed reading about 85% of it, but the ending completely ruined it for me.
Coming out of a world war vs going into one.
I still remember the opening of that book as being absolutely marvelous, but I can’t remember the ending lol.
Still Life with Woodpecker may be something you’d enjoy, different, but they’re linked in my brain.
Avengers End Game - after years of build up and creating the entire MCU, it felt like a cop out for them to fix everything with a time travel plot that they set specific rules for. It was just lazy writing.
Dr Who after Peter Capaldi left.
The plots went to crap. The retconning destroyed decades of canon. I’ve nothing against the actors involved but the writers should be taken out and beaten.
I keep trying to give it a chance and don’t understand what the fuck happened, but I feel so bad for Jodi Whitaker and Ncuti Gatwa. The writing is so awful it’s like they don’t even get to play the same part.
I agree it’s a mixed bag, but there’s still some Stephen Moffat episodes in there that are fantastic, though.
Moving away from physical buttons and physical media. I don’t mind touchscreens and I do enjoy downloading, but there’s nothing more satisfying than a good click of a button and actually holding something in your hand that you purchased.
I’m so tired of finger-touch interfaces. Especially when they lag and they don’t register your input right away.
I know I will get hate for this… Breaking Bad. Everyone I know was hyping it up as the best series ever and how much of a complete bad ass Walter turns into - “it starts slow, but give it a chance and it gets so good”. It really set my expectation for what the show would be to something… else entirely I guess? I watched the entire series thinking I was still in the “give it a chance” phase and any episode now it will get proper good and I’ll stop hating Walter. Then the end happened and I was left so confused.
For the record I loved Better Call Saul. And I think it’s possible that in an alternate timeline where someone just told me “you should watch it, it’s decent”, I’d might have really liked it. But it was built up so much, and Walter was built up to be such a “cool bad-ass”, which he basically never is, that it just ruined it for me.
I was also disappointed in the series not because it wasn’t good, but because people overhyped it. I’ve learnt my lesson to never listen to people’s hype for series I am interested in watching.
The biggest fault was walt being built up to be a good guy. He’s the main character, but he’s definitely not a “good guy”. That’s kinda the whole point of the show. Most people who walk away thinking walt was a badass have a relatively immature take on the story.
Yeah, it’s very obvious from the start that he’s a mediocre person. Saying he becomes a badass is false advertising
Something I never hear people talk about with BB is how it hit differently when it was first being broadcast, than when it hit streaming.
The original show spooled out slowly, an episode a week, and then nearly a year before the next season, then they broke the final season in half, and dragged that way out. So between episodes and seasons, you remember the excitement, and you apply that to Walter, and sort of forget all the atrocities he’s committing. He’s just a cool anti-hero.
But when you binge it on streaming, your shock at his behavior doesn’t dissipate, it accumulates, and by the end, he’s just a bad guy who got a lot of people killed, and deserves his fate.
I watched it during its initial run, then binged it, and I can’t think of any other show that had such a different dynamic between the two.
I didn’t finish the show but I got the idea pretty early on; he’s like Captain Ahab, right? Not a good man, at least not anymore - a tragic character.
That’s a pretty good analogy.
