There have been so many games in the industry that were overhyped. In the end they went on to become such huge flops that their names will never been forgotten just due to the fact that these were a combination of both commercial and critical failures.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
These are the best short games on Xbox Game Pass. They offer a variety of different experiences that can be enjoyed without commitment.

It's now time for somebody to go up to Xbox Live Gold whilst it's fast asleep, then hold a pillow tight over its mouth until it stops breathing.
Looking at the quality of games mixing the two up in this case it's an easy mistake to make
Well I guess we know where all that gamepass money is going right into a giant s labelled bucket
Microsoft is spending $70B on Activision. That doesn’t leave a lot left over for other AAA games.
I've really wanted to play A Short Hike and Airborne Kingdom for a while now so it's cool they've been added but yeah I don't see this exciting the masses
This article (spread out over numerous pages to maximize clicks) is a joke. Apparently all of these games are both critical and commercial failures, and yet the writer even points out how Diablo 3 (number 1 on the list) was the best-selling PC game the year of its release and broke various sales records (selling 12 million copies in first year).
How does that constitute a commercial failure, exactly?
Apparently the author does not know, since their reasoning for Diablo 3 being the number 1 flop on PC so far is this mess of broken English:
"And if looks for the game play and different actions, legendary items are sometimes worse than rare items and also the gold rate is very low you need lots of gold to get the items from the market. Also online connection requirement can cause some serious frustrations, weapon system flies in the face of traditional RPG logic. One of the most annoying thing is disconnection from server will ends the game and you have to start over."
Was this written by a 12 year old? What a garbage website.
"(ESRB) had listed entries forLimbo for the PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, Playdead confirmed that this was a mistake on ESRB’s part, and that they had no plans for the game on these systems"
Limbo is on Steam......

Read the article and first thought that comes to mind
"God dammit!! I f***ing gave them a site visit count"
What a piece of sh*t article. Might as well include all kickstarter games and the cheap ones found in walmarts PC game section.
Also seriously we can't report the guy who submitted this nor the people who approved it. How the hell can we get quality articles on N4G?
