Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.

Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.

Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn't really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.

INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.

I'm not disappointed at the game but on myself.

I patiently waited for Elden Ring to go on sale, excited to play it. But the reality is i don't have enought time to play.

So what happens is I die a few times, restart my progress, die a few more, then my IRL game time has ran out. And I'm still where I started, no progress made,.

If i consistently evade enemies just to get far on the map, then what I've done is stunt my character progression and just horse around the map. I mean that's not playing, it's being a tourist inside the game.
