2016's Top 10 Most Disappointing Games - The Only Top 10 You Don't Want to Take #1 In

It has been a great year for gamers but 2016 was also a year filled with many letdowns. We rank the 10 most disappointing games of 2016.

Seriously? You can't come up with an original article?

You pick disappointing games based on lies you heard in echo chambers then pass it off as "opinion." And how original, you used No Man's Sky art to use with your lame opinion. Find a new hobby if you hate gaming so much.

You're a joke of a journalist (just my opinion.)

I have a feeling you are defending No Man's Sky here.

"You pick disappointing games based on lies you heard in echo chambers" I'm interested, can you spot one "lie" that he wrote in his article?

You seem overly furious at the author

[thorstein]

The entire paragraph about NMS is a complete fabrication.

Lie #1 "it seemed to have all of the problems the other games on the list had and then some"
The author claims that the problem with Quantum Break was the accompanying show. NMS didn't have an accompanying show. Mirror's Edge didn't improve upon the original according to the author. NMS isn't a sequel. Division complaint according to the author was Endgame material: Dark Zone.... I'll stop here for brevity.

Lie #2 "the promise that just wasn’t delivered on, causing many in the industry a lot of anger." Very few people "In the industry" - which translates to devs, publishers, and retailers were angry about this game. Some journos were and of course the normal hateboys that clung to their echo chambers and repeated lies to each other. They were called out and even two lost their bid to claim false advertising when the investigation found that they lied about Large Scale Battles.

Lie #3 "this game was eagerly anticipated by gamers around the world, all of whom had their hopes shattered when it was finally released." Not true at all. The majority of players don't cling to gaming websites, they play games. The majority of players played the game for about 50 hours. There were a few complaints and a few refunds, but the number of refunds were less than a few hundred, there were just repeated reports about them, over and over. Many gamers liked it. The lie is that he claims ALL GAMERS had their hopes shattered. That is a lie.

Lie #4. "No Man’s Sky was completely lacking gameplay and content considering many features that had been promised both by PlayStation and Sean Murray were nowhere to be found" Actually the game launched with most of what was promised. Sean said in 2014, 2015, and 2016 that it wasn't multiplayer and you wouldn't be able to see someone even if you were on the same planet at the same time. There are huge space battles. The about page remains unchanged and it explains explicitly what the game was about. Did it have everything? No. But neither did a plethora of other games. They were found not to have falsely advertised.

So, you may now apologize as I only ripped apart one paragraph written by this hack.

Go ahead. Just say, "oh, my bad" or whatever. It doesn't hurt to admit being wrong about something.

But understand the real reason for my post was to point out that this is the 12,156,355th article like this that has been posted this month. It isn't original. And the hate aimed at NMS has far outstripped any amount of hype it had.

Haha... you worked really hard at that as what you call lies are a HUGE stretch pal. It's cool, you got nerd wood for NMS and that's totally OK. No need to drop a nugget so hard just because someone thinks differently than you.

[danny818]

There is proof that some things said about this game were misleading by its creators. Now it's N4G. Where anything goes. Relax people are just looking back at the year because it's ending.

[Digital_Anomaly]

Wow man, you're nearly staining your shorts over a random writer's opinion piece? Enough so that you make it a personal attack? Get over yourself... at least that journalist is getting paid to spout an opinion. You're just randomly ranting on N4G for nothing.

[thorstein]

Just my opinion, isn't it? So, I can't use my opinion about someone else's opinion? Lulz.

[Digital_Anomaly]

Haha... look at all the NMS shit you've posted to N4. This has nothing to do with the list as a whole and everything to do with you being butthurt that someone disliked a game you like.

LULZ INDEED

[thorstein]

So, you're the author and you're butthurt that someone called out your opinion? lulz, that is about as original as the article.

Headline: Critic gets angry because his opinion is torn apart, cries about it, claims others can't have opinions about his opinion.

You are a hack.

[Digital_Anomaly]

Ha, I didn't write it. I'm laughing hard at your painfully obvious bias though.

[joab777]

There's a lot of other too 10's ya wouldn't want to be #1 on!

I wasn't disappointed by Watch Dogs 2 at all
