Disappointment: Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2.
"But it's PS3/360?!" Well, ehh, yes unfortunately, in 2014! Anyway I played it on PC :P
After all the hype since the original managed to imitate God of War's epic scale, and all the talk about making the sequel bigger with more exploration and a free camera... I was left thinking "What the fuck happened?". Where is the charismatic hero, the splendid environment, engaging story and proper ending to it all?! I should have stopped at the demo, what a miserable pile of lies those trailers were.
(I still love you Lords of Shadow 1, even you Mirror of Fate although you're basically useless)
Surprise: Resident Evil VII, and fully in VR.
Everything about this game is fantastic. The logo design and reveal (Resident E VII _ or Bioha7_ard), demo drop during the conference, unexpected return to horror roots, uncompromised VR even with the demo, realizing what Kitchen was and having access to it at home, the fucking DUMMY FINGER, the fact that it felt like a rebirth of P.T./Silent Hills' ambition, proper DLC support with free content, the birth of the amazing RE engine (now that we've seen DMC 5 and REmake 2), etc
Oh the game is nice I guess.
Seriously, Capcom is BACK! What a great generation.
