    Fable 3, it destroyed the Fable franchise by removing everything that was good from Fable 2 and 1 then replacing it with a huge steaming turd. The horrendous menu-system and 101 dlcs made it worse, purposefully cutting included content just to sell it at an overcharged price.

    Some of the more 'revolutionary mechanics' were as revolutionary as finding a 5 year old scribbling over a picture. You would slaughter 100 Balverines and the stat upgrade you would get your 'personalised weapon' with "you swam 0.8 meters!", stats and text being absolutely terrible and not reflecting your character in the slightest.

    In recent experience, I found Rome 2 very disappointing. I've moved from the CA pre-order camp to the I won't buy another game from them until it's at least a year old and on sale. CA is dead to me at this point.

    And as I've said before, I'm really fine with that, I've got MTW2 Stainless Steel, the soon to be released EB2, and my all time favorite Shogun 2 to play to my hearts content, they could honestly never make another game and I'd be fine with that.

    Thief: Deadly Shadows. What a turd did that turn out to be. Huge fan of the first two, absolutily hated the third. Small levels, poor AI, horrible physic, no rope arrow wtf, in general uninspired. The awesomness of the Cradle didn't save it from being a step back in just about everything. Bioshock was also a huge dissapointment but that is probably due to me expecting a spiritual succesor of the System-Shock series. Not a bad game, just not what I hoped it would be.
