Top 10 Most Disappointing Games of 2015

CraveOnline: "In among all of the wonderful games we've had the chance to play over the past year, there have been some that have failed to live up to our expectations. While the following games may not have necessarily been bad games, they were not as good as they could have been and each left us feeling a little dejected after playing them."

[Spoonsx]

So much hate for Mad Max. I actually enjoyed it.

[Helden]

Just because you enjoyed it doesn't mean it's a great game.

[Spoonsx]

Just because you didn't (obviously) doesn't mean that it wasn't a good game smart as$.

[zidane1341]

Ooh everybody watch out for the witty badass overhere. Where would we be without you captain obvious?

[VforVideogames]

They forgot to mention Halo MasterChief Collection everything was broken when it came out and still is to this date.

[antz1104]

Lol except it was a great game.

[Odoylerules000]

Did Spoonsx even say it was a great game? I recall just reading, "I actually enjoyed it." You should probably let big bro have the keyboard back, your Asperger's is showing.

[Maxor]

Mad Max was a great game. I rarely finish games but I couldn't get enough of Mad Max.

[rocketpanda]

Where did he say it is a great game? An enjoyable game doesn't have to be "great". I guess you are one of those types that anything lower than a 8 is terrible.

[OpieWinston]

It did an amazing job at paying homage to the world Miller created and was extremely fun.

Mad Max is another example of why I take all reviewers with a grain of salt. A bunch of people who nitpick and probably hadn't even seen the Mad Max films.

This guy clearly doesn't like a focus on vehicles. That's why Arkham Knight and Mad Max are on his list.

[NovusTerminus]

Just because he was disappointed doesn't mean he didn't like it.

[CKPan]

I really like 1886, but man, it was a disappointment.

[Bahamut]

Most of the games on this list still have good (or great) reviews, so I don't know what the hell this guy's smokin.

[parentsbasement]

I liked it , I didnt finish it and sent it back to gamefly but plan on a re-rent when things slow down..

[TheMadDutchman]

it is in my top ten games of the year for me

[u4one]

lol at your response. awesome. :) +1

[Adexus]

Mad Max is actually one of my favourite games of the year lol along with The Order, Dying Light, Witcher and Fallout.

[showtimefolks]

Spoonsx

i think it is a good game. what i don't like is how both the publishers and the developer have kind of released the game next to a major release, and left it out in the market high and dry

i don't even think i saw one advertisement for it. they could have packaged it with the movie but they didn't

i am mad or disappointed at avalanche because they haven't communicated well with the community to keep us in the loop of upcoming patches

the game needs to be fixed, right now the biggest issue since last patch is that our mini map is gone.

personally

its MGS5 and it's not even close. Kojima was given over 80 million(yeah screw konami)kojima was given over 5 years of development(yeah screw konami again)

and this is what he develops? i was a huge kojima fan but now i am glad someone new will take over the MGS series.

your main character doesn't talk a lot
the awkward jeep ride with epic music
epic music wasted
the trailers made it seem like
you do main missions
than those main missions become side missions
no character development
worst boss battles in history
scarface was a let down as a character
where was zero
everyone kept talking about zero
why not introduce him?

[IIFloodyII]

Zero was in a coma, after Skull Face poisoned him. The game tells you, in cassette tapes. :(

[showtimefolks]

IIFloodyII

so couldn't they show him in coma?

[_-EDMIX-_]

"where was zero
everyone kept talking about zero"

Soooo you didn't actually listen to all the cassettes in the game huh? That is like skipping the codecs in other MGS games then stating the story was bad.

Zero dies by Big Boss in MGS4 SPOILER! lolz.

In Solidus's body, Big Boss kills Zero.

Miller is the trader too SPOILER not really...

its like...if you know MGS lore, you also know some of the end results to the characters of the game. I personally loved the story, but then again I also listened to all the cassette tapes too.

[IIFloodyII]

I wouldn't be shocked if they did plan to at one point (or at least some of his tapes), but just ran out of time and had to cut them. I would recommend listening to Zero's tapes, they are some of the best, and most story important ones in the game, and do a good job at setting up why Zero makes the Patriot A.I.

[showtimefolks]

that in my opinion is the biggest fault of the game. yeah it's a great idea to hide the story behind cassettes so gamers who aren't ultra careful may miss major parts of the story

i am not trying to sound like my opinion is a fact or the game sucks for everyone. if you liked the game more power to you, as a long time MGS fan the way i look at it is simple. Kojima wanted to chase newer fans and he did. while failing those who have supported him and his games for over 2 decades

one of the best parts of playing mgs was the long/detailed cut scenes now because MGS haters kept complain, KOjima removed them to make the non mgs fanbase happy

personally can't wait for konami to start production on a new MGS game. i believe MGS series just needs a fresh start by another game director

[StartWars]

I really enjoyed Mad Max as well, although admit it was flawed. Coincidentally I recently submitted a review for Mad Max expressing these points: http://n4g.com/news/1827387...

[Scatpants]

I'm playing right now and it's great. Not disappointed at all. Battlefront gets my vote for most disappointing game of the year.

[pecorre]

No metal gear solid 5. It's the most dissapointing game I've ever played. I'm a huge fan of the series but I did not even finish 5 and I sold it.

[Bahamut]

I didn't finish it either, mainly because I found it to be extremely addictive and fun, but then I read online the ending was terrible... so I just slowed down a bit, and started playing something else. I'll wait until the inevitable DLC that fixes its shortcomings.

[kraenk12]

People complaining about game endings on the internet are the worst and disrespectful to the artistic creation.

[RobinGaming]

So because people on the internet say the ending is bad, you don't play the ending? Without even knowing what it is? lol...

I actually totally agree that the game has its shortcomings, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the ending as well. People just complain about everything these days.

[NovaCorps]

as a hardcore MGS fan i can say that mgs5 is one of the worse mgs games ever...if you remove the controls which true its the best of all the series the rest is pure crap

zero character development
crappy music compared to the others
snake doesnt talk
repetitive missions 90% of the time
no cutscenes
zero story
a big screw you thx for you money once you complete the game
no boss battles
mgo 3 dead already,mgo2 was the best

no wonder kojima left,they did him a favor for removing his name from anything mgs5 related.

[C4rnos]

Completely agree with this assessment- So disappointing to see such an incredibly unique series of games rounded off with generic crap (in comparison).

It's not an awful game, but in the same way most games are marketed to *everyone* these days (*cough* Fallout 4 *cough*) the personality and soul of many games are dying out and it's a sad sight to see.

[Kalebninja]

no boss battles? you clearly didnt even play the game because there were several. There was plenty of development for Venom and Quiet. The game was full of story both through normal playthrough and tapes. The game was good and got 10s across the board for a reason .

[Yobo5]

Boss battles where there, but just not as epic as say MGS4. The only battle I felt that tension in was with sahalentrapus.

Story and custscenes were reduced to cassette tapes, since people were complaining about how long they were in other games. IDK, how to feel about it I mean the few cutscene that were there worked. However, I felt that maybe if the cutscenes took more from cassette's it would make the story look "fuller" if you didn't want to thumb through each tape.

Only three things bugged me

1) the missions like you said felt repetitive most of the game and were exact repeats near the end.

2) Boss battles had good mystery in the beginning, but felt empty for some reason, they lacked the fun-factor of fighting bosses like the beauty and the beast unit in MGS4. I guess the fact that it's not linear game hindered that. In retrospect, I wouldn't mind going back to linear.

3) Missing segments of game, especially the alternate ending that was supposed to be the "real ending" being reduced to concept art. A weird way to make a finale, and felt like sequel baiting.

[Knushwood Butt]

Stopped playing it too.

This coming from someone that got the Platinum for Peace Walker.

[zidane1341]

Yeah except for the fact that the gameplay itself is smoother and more fun then never. LOL @ no cutscenes. This game tied in with the others really well, and there were plenty of cutscenes. Hell half of the second act is cut scenes. Wtf are you talking about?? And the reason snake doesn't talk much Anja's been pointed out a thousand times. It has to do with the plot twist in the end, if snake talked more and rambled on it wouldn't be the player, it would be snake.

[generic-user-name]

I'm also a huge fan of MGS (got the limited edition MGSV PS4 and a collectors edition, favourite series hands down).

I will say that the gameplay does not disappoint one bit, there are so many cool systems and tools in place that it truly is the best stealth game I have ever played.

But for an MGS fan the story is half the package, I mean I LOVED 1.30hr cutscenes in MGS4, MGS cutscenes are always done so well. They are done even better in MGSV in the technical sense but they are just so few and there just isn't a good story to back them up.

It's not just the ending either that I had a problem with (though yes, I didn't like it and yes I do understand what Kojima was trying to say with it but it just failed), most of the story is just so unsatisfying. Most of the vital stuff is told in cassette tapes which is ok sometimes but some of those cassettes that you unlock at the very end I think really ought to have been in-game cutscenes instead, would have been a much better ending than being forced to replay the tutorial again, beat for beat. Also leaving the Eli story so blatantly unfinished as they did was pretty unacceptable.

Then you have the characters

Venom is mute and dull.

Ocelot becomes mister wise and serious all of a sudden, may as well have been a new character.

Skull Face is easily the worst/most ridiculous villain in MGS history, would have taken the senator from Rising over him. (shame because Ground Zeroes really built some solid foundations for him)

Miller I found to be one of the few enjoyable characters, his character developed (although I feel his story was left unfinished much like other areas of the game, white eyes for example are never explained).

Quiet, she had a good arc, liked her.

Man on Fire, I liked the idea but they barely touched on it, plus it wouldn't have hurt to give him some lines.

Eli is basically what you would have expected a young Liquid to be like, we don't see why he's like that though, we just have to guess. In MGS1 he tells us how Big Boss always told him he was inferior to Solid and all that, would have been nice to actually see that instead of it being retconned out. 'Big Boss' was constantly being decent to him all the time though. In short, zero character development.

Huey, while being a 180 on his character in PW, I enjoyed what they did with him.

Same goes for that person in the Medic platform, once that was done with it was rather clever in terms of the final twist and all. Too bad there wasn't more of this.

Then you have Mantis who is somehow 1000 times more powerful than he will be in MGS1 and also 1000 times less chatty. Like Ocelot, may as well have been a new character.

[nix]

I stopped playing at the hospital.. I just can't get into the game. I bought it only because i wanted to support his last MGS game.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah I know.

Biggest disappointment of the year. Even if you didn't have the kafuffle that went on behind closed doors the fact it is a boring open world game, lifeless, repetitive and no fun factor outside main missions.

But because it's Kojima and MGS...10/10...perfect <sigh>

[zidane1341]

Ahuh except for the fact that there's plenty of stuff to do in free roam. The only repetitive thong were the side missions. But yeah, it's so boring it got perfect scores from ten's and ten's of reviews, k.

[Scatpants]

Battlefront easily beats it for me as far as disappointments go. Although I did find Metal Gear to be pretty boring and repetitive I don't care how many 10s it got.

[NotanotherReboot]

TFW you realize PS4 has only had 3 good exclusives :(

[Bahamut]

The Last of Us: Remastered, God of War III, Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection, Bloodborne, Infamous: Second Son, Until Dawn, and a few fantastic indie titles.

On top of that, Street Fight V, Uncharted 4, and The Last Guardian are on the way. Not to mention the Final Fantasy VII remake.

So... that's 3 right?

Oh and not to mention, everything looks and runs better on the PS4 due to its superior hardware, so multiplats are best played on the ps4 or PC. If you own a Wii U, a PC, and a PS4, there's almost no reason to purchase an Xbox One (unless you reeeaally like bro-shooters).

[Helden]

Remastered, remastered everywhere

[frankdrebin72]

Didn't Sony say the PS4 is THE place to play shooters?
Put a stop to that lil dig you had there!

[Captain_Mushroom]

Remaster, remaster, remaster, true, true, true, unless you specifically say their names, every last console is eligible for "fantastic" indie titles.

And are you so desperate as to include future titles? All three might be masterpieces, but we're talking NOW.

And I like the fact that you are so subtle as to include the PC and Wii U as well. Next thing, you'll also add the Wii, JUST so you can further marginalize the XB1.

And "bro-shooters"? LMAO, aren't we talking about the console that has bought CoD privileges to DLC's and such? CoD being THE most "bro-shooter" of them all.

PS fanboys... try harder, next time. Oh, wait; you already did. Sad face...

[Scatpants]

Disgaea 5 And Persona 5 soon. The only exclusives I like on X1 are sunset Overdrive and Tomb Raider.

[Ark_]

If you own a capable PC, it's actually hard to justify to buy either a PS4 or X1. Not enough great exlusives imo. As it stands, I am happy with my WiiU as an addition.

I admit I would like to play: Bloodborne, Uncharted and Halo though. But that's not woth purchasing a console yet for.

Oh and look: Steam-Sale is on - let the pile of shame grow further ...

[NotanotherReboot]

Once you begin mentioning remasters, your argument withers away.

[medman]

You have to laugh at this type, don't you? The ps4 has more exclusives, the higher rated exclusives, and more exclusives in development. PS4 also has the better performing multiplat games, and the better selection of indie titles. Game over.

[ironcrow2386]

Fair enough arkham knight had its problems but disappointing?? No freaking way

[Spoonsx]

I had Arkham Knight on PC and I enjoyed it outside of bat mobile combat. Even though I didn't car for the bat mobile combat it didn't ruin it for me.

i got lucky I guess I was one of the few that didn't have issues with PC version.

[WellyUK]

It was a borefest for me sadly still haven't finished it. Was very disappointing for me.

[-Foxtrot]

It wasn't the open world Batman game that Gotham deserved.

The point where I cracked while trying to defend it

<spoilers>

A boss battle...with Slade....IN A TANK

[ironcrow2386]

so with games such as battlefield hardline, the order, tony hawk; batman is more disappointing than all those?? if so I think you've been a playing a different game my old matie

[-Foxtrot]

Compared to Akrham City which was amazing yeah it is.

Quality of the title against the games you've mentioned is a totally different discussion

[_-EDMIX-_]

Fox be like top disappointing games 2015

Resident Evil: Revelations 2
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Battlefield Hardline
Bloodborne
Mario Party 10
Life Is Strange
Mortal Kombat X
Titan Soul
Fallout 4
Call Of Duty blops 3
Halo 5
Tomb Raider
The Order
SOMA
Project Cars
Forza 6
Batman Arkham Knight
Planetside 2
Metal Gear Solid 5
Mario Maker
Mad Max
Uncharted Collection
Wasteland 2
StarCraft 2 Legacy Of The Void
Assassins Creed Syndicate

Turns out he LOVED Star Wars Battlefront and Hitman mobile..lol

In all seriousness, I feel its sad to even see many gamers feel this way about many of those games, I think many are exaggerating pretty deeply. Even the titles many are saying are not that great, don't even have anything NEAR them to really say is that much better. I just look at it like, maybe the title just wasn't for you.

I generally liked everything I played this year and knew what I was getting into with most of my purchases, I don't even know if I can say I got a game that was "disappointing" as this year was pretty stacked with heavy hitters, regardless what nit pickers might try to claim. We got some BEAST titles and lots of them are over flowing into 2016 for me lolz. We are in a medium that has an extreme amount of transparency, that tells you months even years ahead of time what the game is, how much content most times and even getting to play it some times prior to release.

I can't speak on something like Tony Hawk as what I've seen, didn't look fun and they've shown and stated enough for me to stay away. In this day and age, I feel we should be able to as consumers have some sort of heads up on what we are buying.

[RedDevils]

@_-EDMIX-_ so can you tell me why UC collection is disappointing? I want to know because I haven't buy it yet, but are thinking of buying it soon

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Red- I'm actually just joking, I state that I didn't have any disappointing games this year.

Uncharted collection is a solid buy if you haven't played the series, even if you have its still a nice buy if you want to revisit them before Uncharted 4.

From what I've played from the demo, its runs amazing at 60fps and looks amazing too. Easily a solid buy.

[RedDevils]

Thanks, was a bit skeptical there :P

[Neixus]

Battlefront's flaws / design choices were known months before release, don't see how it fits in this list.

[Skankinruby]

It's 20 dollars of content with a 60 dollar price tag

[Neixus]

We knew about the content beforehand.

Dice made a website where you could inspect every weapon,hero,powerup,star card and maps.

I see why people can be dissapointed, but its your fault for not looking the game up before purchasing it.

[Scatpants]

because it gets boring in 2 hours and is an ultra dumbed down shooter.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Agreed. Its what I've been saying for a very, very long time. Yes...the game has what many might call "low" content in comparison to other titles.

The team has been very transparent to what the game is and isn't, has stated what its single player is and isn't, has let people play the game before release twice openly, listed all features, maps, weapons etc.

At some point....we need to really, really factor consumer responsibility. That goes for really any game. We are in a medium that is letting you try the game, listing all its features, modes, maps, weapons etc. Telling you what it is and what it isn't.

MOST mediums are not giving such transparency. Its hard to base a disappointment on Battlefront based on previous games when before release it was stated many, many, many times what it was and what it wasn't.

To buy it and to be "disappointed" at the end of the day legit has to be based on the consumer. Pretty sure anyone who wanted to play it, was free to try it out when the beta released, even if someone didn't, the internet very much exist to tell them what it is and isn't.

I can't say I'm "disappointed" in it as I played the beta, liked what I played and wanted more of what I played, even if it was just with a few maps. I didn't go into it expecting something like counter strike, I bought it for what it was offering, not what I wanted it to offer or what I "thought" or "assumed" etc. I get some games just turn out bad even with all the information released, it happens, but some games that are based on feel and gameplay, no real excuse. You sorta can play and get what the game is and if it will be something you can see yourself playing more of.

[Lng101010]

Shitty list. But that's just my opinion.

[Skankinruby]

For the life of me I will never understand why people ripped on the order so much. Just recently bought it at a cheap price and I think it's great

[WellyUK]

That's the problem... People who brought it for full price would be massively disappointed but for a cheap deal it's a great game to pick, I got it for £18 or something a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it as well but if i got it for £50 or w/e I would of been pissed a it is no where near long enough to warrant that price.

[WelkinCole]

So should RPG and Open world games be price higher?.

What about racing games like GT?

Here is the thing. RAD clearly outline what they were producing with the Order. If gamers didnt do their research and buy it expecting something else then that is their dam fault.

I knew exactly what the Order was and I like it and why I bought it full price

[WellyUK]

What are you on about? If the Order is worth £50 then your mad. It's barely 6 hours long (even on the hardest difficulty) with 0 replay value...

[medman]

I paid full price for The Order:1886, and while I definitely wished there was more lore and backstory to the characters, I thought it was a very good game and was pleased with the experience. I'm far from alone in that sentiment.

[STICKzophrenic]

I bought the Collector's Edition at full price and have zero regrets. Obviously the graphics are top notch and one of the best looking games ever. The voice acting is also top notch. The gameplay is very familiar and plays really good. One of my only complaints with the game is that the fun guns aren't available more often. The thermite rifle is so much fun and looks amazing when you ignite the cloud, I just wish I could carry it with me more often. I might not use any other gun.

[Spotie]

I wasn't massively disappointed, and I took it home close to day 1.

True, I wouldn't have been upset if the game had been longer, or offered more, in general. But I bought it for what it was, not what I WANTED it to be.

And with all the hatred the game got in the gaming media before release, it's virtually impossible that anyone went into the game and got something they shouldn't have expected. It wasn't under six hours, either.

But hey, keep perpetrating the lies, Welly. Somebody has to, I guess.

[nix]

I also bought Order for what it was and not what media wanted it to be.. I have no regrets. It was a beautiful experience. I hope they make part 2 fast. I play the games once and never return so i don't care about replayability. I also don't have tons of time to endlessly grind in a game. This game was perfect for me. Just like Heavenly Sword. Oh.. That beauty.

[WelkinCole]

From what I read it was mostly because people say it is too short and no replay value.

I starting gaming on the Atari where you can clock a game in minutes.

Now that I am an adult I don't really have much time for online gaming let alone long ass open world games.

As such the Order is perfect for me. I am clearly the minority though.

It is a great game for what they plan to create.

It was specifically for old time SP focused gamers like me. It is why it pissed me off that whiny little brats complained about it when they have #3211 FPS online and #1212 open world games to choose from.

Then these sad same whiny little brats would at the same time complain about only getting #3211 FPS online and #1212 open world games to choose from and getting the same stuff. Really wanted punch them in the face.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Well said!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

It's on top 5 list of 2015. I consider it a GOTY contender.

[Knushwood Butt]

Well, I beat it twice and enjoyed it.

Would like to seem them continue the series and build upon what there is.

[Ninver]

i totally agree. i recently bought it and i think the game is quite good.

[alvgamin4lif]

The Order 1886 is actually a good game. I've played it and I loved the setting, the graphics and the story. The gameplay was pretty solid as well. However imo the order 1886 is a bit disappointing at $60. If sony priced it at $30-$40 then the game would've been well received and would've sold better as well. The game, imo, felt like the first chapter of an episodic game series.

[oIITSBIIo]

For me MGS:V and Mad max, I didn't play the rest of the list.

Batman AK is great.

[NovaCorps]

i dont find battlefront bad game
it just lacks content and the 50 bucks season pass is why most gives average scores mostly

[Scatpants]

As a shooter I find it remarkably average. The only thing it has going for it is the graphics, such a huge letdown. I would almost prefer if it had been just a reskinned Battlefield. At least then it would have a little more depth.

[Germany7]

Arkham Knight it's amazing, one of my favorite games this year.

[jcnba28]

Most disappointing: Bloodborne
Runner up: MGSV

[generic-user-name]

I can only imagine Bloodborne disappointed you because it wasn't on the Wii U.

[jcnba28]

What does Nintendo have to do with my comment? Obsessed much?

[DivineAssault]

Each of those games had their faults but werent that bad

[Two-Face]

Games that dissapointed: Fallout 4, MGSV(mixed feelings), Halo 5, The Order 1886, Arkham Knight.
Games that delivered: Witcher 3, Pillars of Eternity, Mario Maker, Forza 6, Bloodborne, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Games that surprised: Life if Strange, Rocket League, Ori, Undertale.

[_-EDMIX-_]

sooooo confirmed, you hate everything huh?

[TimelessDbz]

Most disappointing games I played this year was witcher 3, MGS5, AND fallout 4. I really hope ff15 takes notes on how not to make an open world game.

Games that delivered - Halo 5, Order 1886, Until dawn, Life is strange , Ori and last game is Bloodborne.

[kraenk12]

Witcher 3?! How?!

[_-EDMIX-_]

lol bro SOOOOOOOO many better choices with quality open world RPGS of that setting /s

[lifeordeath617]

its just his/her opinion. i would take it with a grain of salt. i was going to say the same thing as you but i have to remember these are just opinions lol.

[TimelessDbz]

I like FF13 and how it open up towards the end vs just throwing me out their. Star ocean, phantasy star universe, and tales of games. Are my kind of open world games

[theshredded]

The failure 1886. Star Wars but only fools wouldn't have expected it. Trine 3 was rushed. Tony hawk...
And basically every big game of 2015. Fallout 4, it played it very safe & its hype is bullsh*t and undeserved. Batman AK's batmobile was so dull and forced, pc version was broken. BloodBorne launched with loading issues. The Witcher 3 was a bit rushed and given a huge a$$ update a few weeks later and its combat is whack. MGSV was the closest game to perfection in 2015 despite some minor issues. The gameplay is flawless and won't be topped or even touched by any other similar game for atleast another generation. Story is always subjective, I hate how modern gamers value story over gameplay. I pray for the day when there's seamless gameplay, no cutscenes and loading. This is a game, stop wasting ur sorry a$$ spectating the tv monitor instead of playing. Ur the reason y we're getting unlimited copies of games only with different stories. Sure MGS is known for cutscenes but it's also known for changing things up significantly with each game, even for its spin offs.

[Rookie_Monster]

Disappointed 2015 games.

Battlefront, the Order 1886, MGSV, Batman on PC, Godzilla

Lived up to the hype 2015 games:

Halo 5, Forza 6, Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Ori

[JoakimMogren]

lol Rise of the Tomb Raider had hype? what game is that?

[Rookie_Monster]

My hype..the only one the matter. :D

[StormLegend]

Ori? We might as well include Rocket League then and Child of Light.

[Pintheshadows]

Hell yeah we should include Rocket League.

[u4one]

i'd say the Order, evolve and THPS definitely belong on this list. Battlefront is a little irksome on its content structure/pricing, but i've actually been having some fun playing it regardless -granted i got it for free on the ps4 so that probably helps.

[The7Reaper]

I disagree with Mad Max Mortal Kombat X and The Order1886 I enjoyed all 3

[overrated44]

I know people around here are like, in love with it...but I would say MGS Phantom Pain was a pretty big disappointment. The actual gameplay is good, but the story is pretty awful and the "open world" is basically just going to the same places over and over and doing the same things, over and over.

[Wallow]

Mad Max doesn't deserve this.

[ic3fir3]

for me
witcher 3 - bad combate mecanic and skilltree weak

mgs v story mehh,so boring,end weak "i love all série"

[Spenok]

Terrible article is terrible. There was only 2 or so games on that list that are genuinely disappointing. The rest were either great, or decent, but definitely not bad, or disappointing.

[FN4GM]

I actually really enjoyed The Order and wasn't disappointed by it at all regardless of the massive smear campaign that was leveled at it by xbox fanboys pretending to be "game journalists".

[xasz]

"I actually really enjoyed The Order and wasn't disappointed by it at all regardless of the massive smear campaign that was leveled at it by xbox fanboys pretending to be "game journalists"."

There's no way that's a serious post.

It just can't be.

By the way, was it "xbox fanboys" that gave Bloodborne a 92% Metascore?

[gangsta_red]

I guess these "xbox fanboys" pick and chose which game to smear.

With this logic you would think that every game on every other system would get horrible reviews.

1. You notice most of the games listed has the best graphics?

2. You're telling me MGS 5 isnt one of the most disappointing games of 2015? It definitely is.

[Cradle_of_Clay_Doll]

For me, The order, Batman AK, MGSV, FO4 and SWBF.
Oh boy...

[captainexplosion]

Star Wars, Super Stardust Ultra, The Order, and Halo were all disappointing for me. I like Black Ops 3 but I'm pissed there is no One in the Chamber and Sticks and Stones.

[GoPanthers999]

Rubbish - Arkham Knight and SW BF do NOT belong on this list! Just because you don't like the creative direction, does not mean that games are crap. And there is alot of true crap out there.

[KaladinStormblessed]

I'm not sure you could call Battlefront creative...

I dont think I have been disappointed with any game I have bought this year, but a lot of games have had faults... New Games I have played to completion this year

Majora's mask 3D. Never played it on the N64 and heard mostly great things. Played it.. it was meh.. Great atmosphere and concept but the level design was pretty bad.

Witcher 3 has pretty boring combat but incredible story.
MgsV has incredible combat and a dodgey story.
Xenoblade x Has an incredible open world and some great side stories but it is a grind fest.
Splatoon single player could have been more developed but no complaints.
Yoshi woolly world good game a bit dated mechanics and far more challenging than I expected.
Mario maker. God level game. Probably goty for a lot of people.
Dark souls 2 Scholars. Nice game but not as fast and fluid as bloodborne. Still a good game for custom builds.

Game i wish i could play Bloodborne.. Cant because I am not buying a console for one or two games.

I played a lot of games not from this year so I wont list them here.

For me the game I havent played that has the biggest stink this year is Evolve. The game had so much BS hype from sites like IGN. Game was a pile of crap apparently .

[bacrec1]

I disagree 100% with the Hotline Miami 2 pick.

[naedtrax]

Ditto, as a big fan of the first one.. i loved it! But to each their own I guess.

[noorizer]

that list is full of shit...

[NeoGamer232]

For me:

Need for Speed - They took a year off to make this?
Tony Hawk - A new last gen new on next gen consoles!
Evolve - Pure disappointment
Rockband 4/Guitar Hero - I expected more innovation
Prototype Remasters - So, what did they change?
Telltale Games and Cont'd Ep. - Quantity over quality!
Destiny Taken King - Better, but same old lab rat shooter.
Ride - Would someone please make a great next gen bike sim!
Transformers - So much potential, average isn't good enough!
Overlord - The 1st one was so good, this is so bad!

[guyman]

Mad max exceeded my expectations. On the other hand, I found metal gear solid 5 and batman Arkham knight very disappointing. I haven't played halo yet but apparently that single player was very disappointing too.

[_LarZen_]

5 of those games I really...really enjoyed.

[zep]

FALLOUT 4 its a dlc for fallout 3

[whyisthehorsestaring]

Batman Arkham Knight and MGS5 for me.

[rammstein91]

hotline miami 2 is a step-up compared to first game in addition to that its gameplay,story telling and soundtrack are beyond awesome.

[MrZweistein]

I can agree mostly to that list.

[Hold_It]

Lmfao people calling an unfinished game "an artistic direction" to justify the fact that the game was incomplete. MGS was missing an entire chapter, not just Mission 51, you can tell if you actually listen to all the tapes and play the game, once you get to chapter 2 you can tell that the "boss fights" feel incomplete, and there are parts of the story that are missing resolution.

Putting the story together after the awful rushed "Truth : The Man Who Sold The World" mission, it feels like the game was just starting, and you were supposed to start playing as Big Boss, during the time that Venom Snake was doing what he was doing. There's no way that the game is finished because it's impossible. That's not opinion, no MGS game, not even Peace Walker has the exact same mission with a harder difficulty.

The cassette tapes feel like something they did to throw it all together as fast as they could, not to give in to the casuals that can't tolerate cutscenes. MGS is a series that makes enough money that they wouldn't have to listen to what outsiders have to say to make a profit.

But, I guess at the end of the day there will always be people on this site that will try to make up excuses for the fact that the game is incomplete and was rushed, to defend Kojima Productions because they want to hold out hope that the last MGS by Kojima isn't the incomplete mess that it is. If someone wants to call me out or tell me to back what I say, I've done it over a million times in every other MGS thread so you can find it there.

Mad Max and Mortal Kombat X was great. The Order: 1886 is the worst game i have played in years.
