Disappointments

**pieman124** · 01-07-2011, 10:43 PM

If you find anything disappointing like a review, or how something turns out, or anything else you find disapointing and you want to share it, then post it here.

What I find disapointing is IGN's review on the Mario Party's.

I tried a new coffee at my favorite coffee house {JJ Bean} and it was awful.
Normally they have an incredible roast called Doppio, but yesterday they didn't, so I had to choose between the two roasts on tap.

What can I say other than:

A) I'm spoiled
B) Not all coffee is roasted the same
C) I thought it was Buckley's coffee - it was that bad.
Mc Donalds' has a nicer roast than that.

It was like:

... it was the Ethiopian roast, by the way.
Try it if you don't believe me.

**pieman124** · 01-08-2011, 11:27 AM

That stinks. Were you looking foward to the roast that day?

**RU Joe** · 01-08-2011, 04:28 PM

Yeah, JJ Bean's Doppio is possibly the richest, sweetest roast with no nuttyness or 'green' taste at all.
It's very rare that they won't have it on tap but I guess that was the day.

I'm too damn fussy and spoiled and really should have got a job as a taster or something.
But the thing about it is that I'm also heavily addicted to caffeine and so I downed the crappy coffee to get my fix.
And I made a face like those shown above.

I hate it when you look foward to something and then something goes wrong.

I am disappointed by IGN reviews of most of the Silent Hill games, especially Silent Hill: Origins. They always site the combat as poor, but the protagonists in Silent Hill games aren't supposed to be fighters, they are supposed to be normal people. The point is that you should be running away from the disturbing monsters, rather than bashing their brains in.

@Pieman- when you post a link instead of explaining your point it should actually show us what your point is. I clicked the link, randomly checked a couple reviews on Mario Party and I didn't see the fuss. What specifically bothered you about their reviews?

As for my own disappointment, I'm disappointed in the direction Namco is taking the Tekken franchise. It used to be about the moves and strategy. Now it's about who can get a hit in and continue it for more than ten hits, even if that means hitting the person on the ground several times before they can do anything. Some fans like it but the divide is very clear when you play ranked matches vs player matches. The majority of ranked matches are just super lame combo battles where people just try to show off how much they can prevent you from moving or countering. The player matches are mostly people who hate that and just wanna play for fun.

Btw on a related note, a friend and I were playing Tekken last night in player match with one slot open for random people to join, you know, for fun. Things were ok for a few matches but then one of these new style tekken players joined and just sucked all the fun out of it. After several matches of annoying bs I decided it was time to kick him(I'm the host). So, being the super nice guy that I am I waited until my friend and I were done with our current match to kick the other dude. That means he had to sit there and watch us for 3-4+ rounds and when his was gonna start, BOOM. Was that a jerk move? For sure. Did it make me feel better? Damn right. Even better? He rejoined all mad about it and then started yelling at us about how much better he is and calling us names I can't repeat here. We laughed at him and kept playing. Man was that worth it.

Yeah, Namco screwed it up with Tekken 6, it's still a fine game, but it's too different from the earlier games in the series, where juggling was a viable strategy, but rather difficult to pull off. Now, juggling is the only option if you don't want to get destroyed, especially by the final boss. Come to think of it, Tekken games have always had annoying as hell final bosses.

I just had the grossest ready made sub from the grocery store, it was the first time in my life I ever took bacon off something... ugh... I feel sick. Funny thing is I think I knew it was going to be bland because I actually bought a jar of sandwich pickles to add to it. Dissapointing anyway.

Problem located.
You'll rarely find a perfect ready - made anything.
I hope you survive this experience.

You mentioned bacon.
I have issues with bacon, where it's smells and tastes so darn good, but I always feel like glop after eating it.
So I can't eat it.
But I WANT it.
This is another disappointment of mine.

I got 6 cans of oysters though so that made up for it a bit.

@Dudebro- My point was that I didn't like it, but I know that there are people who think that this isn't a big deal. I looked at the ratings, and was dissapointed because they were low. I just didn't like that 6 and 7 were higher then three and four, and that they were lower then games I think are worse. I don't really care, it just dissapointed me because IGN is a big game review website, and I don't like that if people don't buy it for their review. I mean I do that. So that's why I don't like it being low.

A dissapointment for me was, I was playing Banjo & Kazzoie a while ago, and I got far. I was having a lot of fun playing and I wanted to keep playing until I 100% it. Excpet to make it go faster I kept hitting A, but the controler was on the couch, so it hit Z first, whuch erases the game.

**RU Joe** · 01-13-2011, 05:38 PM

Pie, what happened there?
I own Banjo Kazooie myself and never had that happen.
(although there were some other issues with buttons being pressed accidentally}
That's a real disappointment - but hey, it's a really fun and well made game which you now get to enjoy all over again, so try to look at it that way.

**pieman124** · 01-13-2011, 05:48 PM

Oh I remember more now. I was pressing A, and it accidentally hit Z. So thinking I didn't I kept pressing A. I didnt realize I pressed Z, and that it said do you want to erase. I just have to be careful. Bt I will definetley play thus game again, so time later though because I got new games I want to play.

Worst DBZ movie ever....

**Dudebro** · 01-13-2011, 06:59 PM

Man that movie looked like a joke, something you'd see on SNL and even then it wouldn't be very amusing. Why did Chow Yun Fat sign onto that steaming pile in the first place?

**Mareeps** · 01-13-2011, 08:48 PM

That looks nothing like the show.

**RU Joe** · 01-13-2011, 09:52 PM

Yet another failed animation to movie translation where everything is lost, especially the audience.
I bet it the sales numbers didn't even get over 9000!

I gotta take a dump and there is no tp, napkins, or paper towel in the house, I'm going to have to use the brown paper bag that my hot wings came in...

My hemmerhoid is gone already though so that is good.

**RU Joe** · 01-14-2011, 02:13 AM

Why not just jump in the tub for a 'rinse off' afterwords?
Heck, why not just have a full shower while you're at it - anything but the brown paper bag.
It won't likely flush, either, just to warn you.

But yeah, running out of TP can be a bit of a disappointment all right.
Especially in a public restroom.
