Every year in video games brings with it some lovely surprises, but every year also brings some sorry disappointments.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
One way or another, these games provoked strong reactions.
I don't think Days Gone divided fans. For the most part, gamers loved it. It was the reviewers who were divided. Self-loathing racist pieces of shit that took exception to the main character being white. This was a fantastic game, one of the best open-world games I ever played, and I've played them all.
For the most part, when it comes to Last of Us 2, incels, homophobes, and closet national socialist types didn't like it. I repeat not all, but most.
Days Gone is a great game and it was attacked by the leftist socialist people that are actually closet fascists. As a great poet once said: "Socialism is the mother of fascism."
The Order got hit from anti-Sony Xbox fans.
Out of these 3, Last of Us 2 stands above as being a work of art. It's still generating a ton conversation to this day.
Amazing gameplay, but TLOU2 had one of the worst, most convoluted and uneccessary plots I ever seen in a sequel. Terrible story and the characters were forgettable. I didn't give an F about anyone in the story.
I don't think any of these divided fans, other than LoU2. The rest were either victims of biased reviews or just generally agreed that they weren't as good as they could've been or just overall disappointing.
List is pretty spot on. I would add Just Cause 3 for its performance issues, gameplay mechanics and some infuriating bugs. Patch barely improved the game on PC.
Forza 6 was slightly disappointing because rain and night were only on some of the tracks and I didn't like how they removed points depending on your finish in tournaments. There really is no sense of victory and accomplishment when you finish 1st other than extra money. Loved the battles for first to decide the tournament winner in the final race like in previous games. Have great memories of the winner of the tournament come down to the last 1-4 turns with me and the other racer battling it out to get 1st. With 6 I just feel empty when winning even though I have the AI difficulty cranked up. At least the custom blue console and controller look amazing so I don't feel like I wasted my money.
To me, the disappointments were:
The Order (One of many reasons I dumped my PS4)
Batman Arkham Knight
Rare Replay (Was hoping they would modernize the games)
Star Wars Battlefront (Disappoint content and no real SP)
Evolve
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5
Call of Duty Black Ops III
Ride
Overlord Fellowship of Evil
Game of Thrones
The Order and Halo 5
I don't get how Rise of The Tomb Raider is not on all the turd list of 2015. Take the The Order 1886 for example it had a average or a "mixed" Medacritic score at 63 but The Order 1886 sold pretty well on the other hand Rise of the Tomb Raider had a "Positive" Medacritic score of 86 and was hyped as one of the best game of the year and the anchor game of "The Greatest Games in Xbox History" yet it was sold on 2 platforms and no one want it based on that to me that screams a big turd. But that my opinion. So in gaming is a Medacritic score where people are paid to review games and paid to give scores more important than how a game actually sales?
Shouldn't Kotaku be on their own list here?
