There are lots of games that don't live up to expectations, even realistic expectations. We went out and got these games, now we regret having ever touched them to start with. Post your game and rationalize it away!
I'll go first.
Devil May Cry 2
DMC 2 sucked ass and we all know it. It was braindead compared to the original and Dante lost his cool attitude.
Here's how to forget it.
Play Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. It has demons, an apocalyptic world, the devil and Dante is there, talking shit like he's supposed to. Granted, you can't play as him and its an RPG, but you can recruit Dante later in the game and the game is difficult. That's gotta count for something. And you get to be a demon the whole time, no Devil Trigger mode needed.
Or you could play Viewtiful Joe 2. You'll get to unlock Dante and Trish and still induce massive carpel tunnel as you play. Its practically the same thing as DMC in that respect, just toony.
Bottom Line: These games were better and they both had Dante in them and not some Cloud Strife wannabe with a Dante suit on.
FFX-2
OK, I liked this one, but lots of people don't. Here's how you can forget it.
Play Xenosaga II or Wild Arms 3, they're actually much worse that you thought FFX-2 was, but you might slog through it for the story anyway. You'll replace your loathing for FFX-2 with a new loathing or maybe even come to appreciate FFX-2 instead.
Or find a copy of Dragon Quest VIII. Don't let the fact that the characters look like they're straight out of Dragon Ball Z scare you, that's because the artist from DBZ draws them, the story is actually very coherent and the characters have more personality than Kosmos and Ziggy combined.
Or you can just watch the digest movie of Xenosaga II packed in with Xenosaga III, that's 50+ hours of your life saved right there.
Wii Music
OK, not really a game, but its five minutes of your life wasted at any rate, or $40 wasted if you actually bought it.
Try digging up a copy of any Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Beatmania or a Donkey Konga title. Much better time investment and much more fun. Those that grab Karaoke Revolution should die in a fire.
Or just slam your head on a desk until you forgot you even touched the Wii Kiosk that day. That works too.
I'll go first.
