Help me out geeks. What are some of your titles that promised stellar shit but left out the stellar part?

Arkham Knight.

Overall a decent but the big selling point was the ability to drive the batmobIle and that turned out to be the worst part of the game.
Also the "Knightfall protocol" ending was an underwhelming finish to the franchise. Especially after having to collect the largest amount of Riddler trophies.

I agree with this.
Halo4 was def a let down. If we can just flip it for one second. Uncharted exceeded my expectations. Could be the best game franchise ever.

Never played Halo 4 but you hit the nail on the head with Uncharted.
Easily my favourite franchise and 4 played amazing and looked gorgeous.

Pretty crazy Donald Trump said if he wins he is going to bring back uncharted for a few more adventures.

I thoroughly enjoyed d3.

My most recent game let down was mirrors edge 2. I really enjoyed the first one and found myself bored when the second.

I like d3 too, but the hype around it was unrealistic. It also had a pretty bad launch.

Haven't played it but I heard they went a little too big with it.
I bought it the minute it came out. Something I never do. There are some legitimate complaints about this game. It's like this is the first game that crossed the line, and from here we are going to see changes.

It is all over the place. Sony, Steam, etc are even starting to losen their return policies to facilitate the massive demand for returns. Read up on it, you'll find a shitstorm.
I must've missed all the hype for it. I'll check it out.

What does the last sentence mean? What line and what changes?

Maybe how games can be advertised, and maybe how this will affect return policies. The game was advertised with parts in it, that were removed prior to release of the game. Gamers have found out that several claims were ismply false, claims that were made on TV etc. These claims made the game appear unique, a landmark for the gamin industry. But without these claims being true, it is just Minecraft in space.
