3D movies, I remember everyone being so excited for shit like Avatar because it was a 3D movie without the dumb red and blue lenses. Then it turned out to just give you vertigo.

Or even 4K TV. Like it looks marginally better if your face is jammed into the screen, but all it really does is suck up way more bandwidth and cost $400 more.

    Spore. I remember watching the videos about procedural generation and Will Wright talking about how you could do all this crazy stuff in the game.

    Then it came out and I played it and it was just empty. A fun character creator, and almost zero depth to the gameplay.

    Pretty sure that was the last videogame I ever bought 🏴‍☠️

        It was, but they also released it a sort of standalone demo before the game came out. So when you got the actual game you were expecting so much more.

      I wish they canned all the space/civilization stuff. If they could have just gone deeper on the first two stages it would have been so much better.
