Angry Joe's Top 10 Worst Games of 2016

Angry Joe counts down the Top 10 WORST Games of 2016!

[Irishguy95]

Agreed Joe xD

[UCForce]

I agree with Joe about Quantum Break. The game story and script feel unbalanced especially the TV Show which handle poorly. And why the heck Remedy changed the cast ? I thought the original cast did better than the current one.

[guyman]

I think it's a bit harsh place quantum break there, I would have put recore in there instead

[Gazondaily]

Nah QB was weak..Deserves to be on that list. Especially considering the hype.

No Man's SKY has to be one of the biggest disappointments and flops in recent gaming history. Especially considering Sean Murrays blatant lies.

[bouzebbal]

You should listen next time.. That thing smelled average from the first gamelay video.
The very first CG reveal was intriguing.. I had no idea that would turn to be the game it is.

[Perjoss]

Disappointment perhaps, but NMS wasn't a flop, not in terms of sales anyway. Even when you take into account the people that refunded it, which was only a small percentage.

[trouble_bubble]

You don't know what flop means. It still sold a couple million and averaged a 71 despite the social media drama. I didn't even play it, don't want to. It's just common sense.

[ninsigma]

Hmmmm I don't know. I mean, the game was ok but it was definitely low on the list of good games for me. When there's been fantastic games like UC4, R&C, FH3, Dishonored 2 and TF 2, I can see why it would be seen as a disappointment.

[rainslacker]

Recore was a pretty decent game. It wasn't special or some sort of super system seller the way some Xbox fan boys made it out to be, but it had decent mechanics, decent game play(although somewhat repetitive in combat), and some interesting puzzles.

That being said, I don't think QB really ranks as one of 10 of the worst games of 2016. It had it's faults, and also wasn't what it was hyped up to be, but it wasn't a terrible game by any means.

But AJ does tend to review and talk about the more high profile games, so it's kind of natural he'd focus on those....although I know he wasn't overly fond of QB when he reviewed it.

[morganfell]

I agree with both your points. QB was better than this list and should not be on there and though Recore has its issues it is still enjoyable and far better than a lot of titles that were dumped on gamers in 2016.

[PlatinumGX]

Mighty No 9 deserved a spot.

[Godmars290]

Kind of makes me feel someone needs to make a forgotten best/worst list. Hyped titles that fell into obscurity almost as soon as they came out. Cause something like We Happy Few never gets talked about after launching and not being the Bioshock clone it was hinted at.

[alfcrippinjr]

you mean the game that made over $3,845,170 on kickstarter
which could had been made for around $10,000 if that and they pocket a nice profit

another kickstarter scam project

[CrimsonWing69]

Not to mention not giving people their Tier Rewards still... man I'm salty about that Kickstarter I dropped $250 on it and I refuse to play the game.

[Deadpooled]

Great list :D

[TitanUp]

I don't agree with The Division and Mafia 3 I enjoyed both of those games. Overall it was a funny and well made video but the language could have been toned down just a hair.

[ninsigma]

The division was brilliant to a point for me. End game just couldn't keep me.

[maybelovehate]

Agreed. I had so much fun the first month. It was worth the purchase, just a shame about the week ""wannabe raids"" and the cheating.

[WellyUK]

the problem with this list is it's meant to be 10 most disappointing not 10 worst games. Most of these are disappointing not necessarily awful games like Division isn't one of the worst games of 2016 pretty sure there are much more games that are worse than that.

[Irishguy95]

I agree but also disagree.

Technically, the worst games list shoudl be the 'worst games'

However Joe goes by a number of factors to take into account of what is bad and what is good and to be honest I totally agree.

Lies SHOULD be plastered and discriminated against in every possible way. Especially on the scale of NMS
Microtransactions and content that really should be in the game....SHould be heavily hit by the gaming community.
Obvious downgrades and misrepresentation of games...should be lambasted.

THe problem is...Journalists DON'T DO IT! What the hell is that! Angry joe is great in that he doesn't get given goodies, he doesn't receive early games. He buys them and reviews them! He does it for the love of it.

If they're is something seriously wrong with a game, a games state in release, the marketing practice of the game. Overpriced? Anything that is bad for the consumer...Joe will destroy it! I just wish the rest of the gaming community could get on board with that instead of bashing each other! The quality of games would only rise and benefit us 'entitled consumers' - Really! I remember being called entitled for complaining about NMS. Really!?

[uth11]

NMS doesn't have microtransactions

[Irishguy95]

I didnt say nms had micro transactions. Joe didnt only speak about nms and my post isnt only about that

[yeahright2]

He usually does a list for both worst and disappointing.

[Chaos_Order]

The No Man's Sky fallout has to be one of my favourite experiences within the gaming community. Watching as people defended it with their lives, rolled out the always idiotic "you hyped yourselves too much!" excuse, refused to believe that Sean Murray was lying, calling it a masterpiece while copies of the game piled up in game stores as they were traded in, claiming you didn't reach the true ending until you reached the center of the universe, so keep playing for hundreds of hours until you make it, (and my absolute favourite one) saying that we shouldn't have expected what they told us because "Just an indie dev. You shouldn't have expected them to do what they set out to do, and the fact that they didn't is totally fine." All while championing indie devs! The irony was so thick I almost couldn't breathe! XD

I enjoyed every single second of it, and I look forward to the next overhyped flop. :)

You gotta hand it to the gaming community. It's a never ending cycle of utter hilarity that even the greatest satirists who ever lived couldn't come up with. It brings me more pleasure than you could ever know... ;)

[lastking95]

Joe is too funny the nms and ghost busters had me in tears.

[UCForce]

Same thing with Quantum Break. He gave It Nissian/10.

[lastking95]

The whole thing was hilarious, the division beanies 😂

[DXPS3]

I laughed so hard I'm basically all over the floor!

[Bebob]

Mafia 3,Quantum break,Eve Valkyrie?! And The Division?! I am pretty sure there are worse games out there! But JOE! LOL

[yeahright2]

He might not have played them.

[BlakHavoc]

That Jurassic park music gets me every time lol, too funny. I only played 2 games on the list and I agree that QB and The Division were huge disappointments but I wouldn't call them some of the worst of 2016. QB was just boring and generic, best way I can explain it, plus those long drawn out episodes made the experience hard to endure. The Division just lacked content like a lot of Ubis games seem to be these days. Gameplay wasn't bad when playing with friends but it became boring after a couple weeks, and that ending was atrocious.

[MasterCornholio]

Plenty of bad games on that list. I remember Quantum Break causing such a severe meltdown in some users that it warranted a permanent ban. Also No Man's Sky wasn't pretty at all. That game deceived so many people that the results were pretty catastrophic here.

[Gazondaily]

In fairness, QB didn't get merked that hard in reviews (I think it should be scored way lower on metacritic). Can't believe Remedy faltered so hard, even on combat.

One thing I didn't see was this mass conspiracy BS like I saw with NMS.

Then there were people defending the complete utter bullshit spouted by Sean Murray. Blaming fans and their expectations. We all know who those people are. Utterly spineless imo.

[MasterCornholio]

Yeah QuantumBreak didn't do that badly in Metacritic. However some of the games negative reviews (like Angry Joes) caused some people to go really crazy here. There was even one user who kept spamming a list of positive QuantumBreak reviews to make it seem that the game performed better on Metacritic. Fortunately he was banned for that shortly after.

[ziggurcat]

while I strongly disagree with his score of QB, that Nissan/10 thing was pretty funny. I also don't recall the game ever crashing on me in my two full runs through the game.

[ninsigma]

That jurassic park piece 😂😂

[Petebloodyonion]

I really used to love Angry Joe but I feel that, like many popular Youtuber, he's now more concerned with his followers and they will react compare to giving his honest opinion even if it's against the grain.

He should explain how Overwatch is suddenly a top game of 2016 for him with a 7/10 score. A game he feels light on content for the price with the dreaded Loot boxes microtransaction yet Eve Valkyrie get one the worst game of the year with the exact same score for the same reasons.
Thus Joe should also explain how a game like Vr Worlds (3/10) does not feature on his worst list instead.

A quick reminder that Joe Scored Halo Guardians a 6 due mainly to Micro so he should explain how a great multiplayer with average single = lower score compare to a multiplayer game only with the same flaws or better explain why Battlefront was scored 5 fo being exactly like Overwatch?

And what about No man Sky getting the #2 spot?
Heck he painfully, with apologizing to Sony fans, gave the game a 5/10 (1 less than Halo 5) right after the game started to get slammed by small media. Yet it seems that now that we all agree that the game was a total flop he as no problem giving it number 2 spot in the worst department.

And last it seem that Corporate commander was finally able to pay Joe because in Uncharted 4 review the microtransaction didn't seem to bother him yet he doesn't have a problem with downing EA, Activision, MS games reviews because of them. With how angry he was about Battlefront seasons pass and emote, he didn't seem to mind there getting the same deal here.

[rocketpanda]

He gave Uncharted 4 praise for the single player, if the single player had microtransactions then it would of been an issue. EA shoves microtransactions into every mode they can. You don't buy Uncharted 4 for the multiplayer player. Uncharted's multiplayer has always been a tacked feature that isn't the focus. So yes, he was right to praise it.

[Petebloodyonion]

I understand you love Uncharted 4 and so do I (and I do play the multiplayer) but by your logic if it's okay for Joe to leave the multiplayer parts out of his review cause ppl buy for the single then how come He slam games like COD, Halo and other for their average single player? surely ppl don't buy COD, Battlefield, Halo for the single player experience but yet Joe does tear them up.

And funny because of microtransaction in games like COD, Battlefield, Halo only affects the multiplayer part of the game (heck for Halo Requiem points are only in 1 mode of the multiplayer part and he did slam the game down to 6 just because of that).

Now my rant isn't about Uncharted4 cause it's quite a great game it's about joe usual anti position even with the beloved franchise now gone under the pressure of what the fans want to hear. Just ask yourself How come no obscure indy game this year was in the top game to play? Just watch past top 10 and you will see the huge contrast!

[trouble_bubble]

You've clearly never played uncharted 4 and have some weird microtransaction agenda where none exists. Everything can be unlocked in it by winning in game currency and you accumulate enough that I myself have a bunch of cool skins despite not having played the MP for too long.

It's NOTHING like the Star Wars season passes etc. FFS they just released the entire survival DLC for FREE!

[Petebloodyonion]

Well, I do own the game and love it, my point isn't about Uncharted 4 it's about Joe changing stance regarding MICRO MICRO MICRO! And yes everything can be unlocked via in-game currency, but so does Battlefront, Halo5, and others. Yet I guess you missed is rants about how evil it was for EA to make you wins points in Battlefronts match that you can use to unlock taunts or skins or his Halo5 Helmets rants about how ridiculous it is to open a box to try to collect 600 kinds of items.
Even Battlefield 1 do get's the microtransaction slam in Joe's review.
Yet the multiplayer aspect of Uncharted4 is based on Micro.

and yes It's exactly like the SW season pass, You knew when you purchased it that you would get 4 expansions and you knew you would get a single player DLC in UC4 but you were in the black for the rest. That exactly what Joe stormed about: " Heck you pay the season pass for 4 expansions, some modes to be known later and probably some guns and stuff and some ******* Emotes"
Care to explain why the season pass for Uncharted4 change 3 times already to a 3 pack, to an explorer pack with some 3 200 Uncharted money and now just Uncharted money cause the single player can't be purchase in the season pass?

And like I said in a previous reply, my rant isn't about Uncharted4 it's about the fact that initially Joe was the guy standing to big companies bad practices even if the game was praised but now he seems to fold on what his fans want to hear. (like I said: How come Overwatch gets a top spot of the year when Eve Valkyrie gets the opposite treatment with a worst spot for the same exact angry review?)

[rocketpanda]

Sometimes his scores are all over the place but the effort he puts into his reviews are alway entertaining.

[showtimefolks]

Quantum break had few things going for it for a game to succeed but yet again remedy simply cousont step up to being called one of the better tier 1 developers

Huge budget
Huge marketing
A lot of hype
Long development type
New engine
New system

The game simply was good not great

No man sky no doubt shouldn't have launched and I hope over the next year or so they make big improvements but it didn't flop sales wise

A lot of no man sky hate came from those who never even played the game and simply joined the vocal minority who were hating

[Jayszen]

I think No Man's Sky should have been no. 1 for the lies alone but perhaps the Ghostbusters game is so bad that even the travesty that NMS turned to be was marginally better! The biggest disappointment for me was The Division and I agree with Angry Joe on all his complaints about this game. Games that should have succeeded like Titanfall 2 were poorly marketed (releasing this game in between the two biggest shooters had to be deliberate. I think EA decided Titanfall was expendable).

[Featuring_Dante]

who follows this pleb?

[Relientk77]

The segment on Ghostbusters is hilarious

[Saijahn]

I have to disagree with Quantum Break being on this list. Yes it wasn't going to be a best seller, yes it doesn't play well to a huge crowd. But the game was amazing to me. And I actually enjoyed the show and would love to see how it plays out. When MS abandoned their vision, this game was doomed from the start. But I got it, the concept, and I loved it. Not to mention how beautiful it was.

There's enough there to do an amazing sequel. But I know that's a pipe dream at this point.

[frostypants]

LOL @ 7:29...

Should've finished by throwing the empty gun at it.
