Whether it was launching with barely any content or launching with a lot of broken features, each of these games managed to disappoint and underwhelm for one reason or another. Despite some massive budgets for a few of these titles, it didn't stop the games from tripping and falling on their face once they hit the market
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
This was back when the game wasn't free to play.
The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).
Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.
Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.
People spend way too much money on cosmetics.
Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.
Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well
It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Where is TLOU: Remastered?
Watchdog, AC Unity, and Destiny are disappointment for me. Can't comment of Driveclub until I can play it with the PSN+ version to see for myself if it is really that bad or has it improve after several updates.
Also, Don't know why Titanfall and Halo MCC are on the list as both scores great with critics. Titanfall advertised as an online FPS with Mech and Parka and jetpack and chaotic and fas pace action. It did it's job and there are still people playing the game daily on Live.
Halo MCC, sure it has Matchmaking issue at launch just like many other game as well like GTAV online and NBA 2k15 but it has been fixed since and for the past week, Matchmaking took less than 40 seconds on avg. to find a match fot me after the latest updates and the team of uneven matches is fixed and you don't get 3 vs 4 or 5 vs 8 on matches anymore as all the matches are also lag free and runs smoothly after the lastest update. Not to mention you get 4 HD campaign, all the maps, and a Halo 5 beta...that game defintely should not be on the list as it is one of the best value and game of the year.
Can't say that about Watchdog or Destiny though as you can't really fixed uninspired and repetitive gameplay and NOT fun.
Every Ubisoft game
Luckily for me I was skeptical and decided to wait for the reviews on Watchdogs, so I'm the end I skipped it. And I'm so burned out from AC series, I didn't play that one either.
But probably My biggest disappointment is Castlevania LoS2. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and I'm finally getting around to it. It's just such a let down after the first game. The whole taking place in present day story sucks. Big bad Dracula is nothing more then an errand boy. And the stealth sections Blow!!
I remember being hyped for that game. But I almost don't even feel like continuing.
At least Driveclub and Master Chief Collection are fixable. Their core gameplay is solid and the primary complaints are patchable. There will no doubt be a lot of people having fun with these games for years once they're fixed. It isn't how it should be they should work at launch but at least they made compelling games with some online flaws. A man personally can't wait for DC Plus edition and hopes those Halo fans get their game working soon and get to enjoy some of the greatest FPS MP ever!
