10 Video Games So Disappointing You Rage Quit

When it comes to gaming in the modern age, there are few things worse than when you feel as though you've wasted your money. After all, games are more expensive now relatively speaking than they perhaps ever were. And, in all fairness, they were never cheap to begin with.

Most people can't afford to buy every new release when it comes out so it makes sense to pick and choose the options that appeal to you most. You want to play the games that excite you, and perhaps that you feel safe in your selection of, which makes it sting all the more when this goes wrong.

How could you place your trust in something just for it to burn you like that?!

This is where real, and often valid, gamer rage comes from. Investing your money and time into something, only for it to let you down. There's no point in dragging yourself through a game when your disappointment in it turns into anger.

This list looks at release that generated these horrible feelings; when a title missed the mark so widely it landed right in the bin, never to grace your system again.

It's easy to chastise Rockstar for charging full price for a barely upscaled port of Red Dead Redemption (and you should do it), but in concept GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition was a more reasonable affair. Three classic PS2 games all released as one for $60 wasn't a dreadful deal. Until it became apparent that the company hadn't supplied review copies of the game to any outlets on the lead-up to release. The marketing was already slim as it was and people were worried why.

Of course, their concerns were justified. The game bombed on release thanks to its terrible textures, nightmare fuel character models, vision-obscuring weather effects and a new selection of glitches. Not enough attention was paid to crafting an HD experience of the originals and it instead all felt like it had been up-scaled by a mindless push of a button - which, considering it had partially used AI, wasn't totally untrue. There was missing music and cheats and, to make matters worse, Definitive Edition had been designed to replace the old versions that had been pulled from store-shelves.

It was horrible to see the games in this state. Considering that all three titles easily add to well over 60 hours of content, there's no way that the vast majority of players saw it through. You'd be much better off dragging the PlayStation 2 out of the attic.
