Worst Games Of 2017

In his annual list of the worst video games of the year, veteran video game reviewer Paul Semel complains about such games as "NieR Automata," "For Honor," and "Rogue Trooper Redux."

[Xerneas]

Gran Turismo Sport is the worst game ive played this year. Nier Automata actually looks good. I haven't played it yet.

[Mexxan]

Comedy Gold right here...
Been playing Forza 7 on a rig and then X.
Just bought a Pro for GT. Won't be going back to Forza.

[bluefox755]

I'm with ya. It was better than Forza even before the new patch, now there's just no competition. Wish it was on PC though.

[mikeslemonade]

Nier Automata is better than Bayonetta 2 though.

[R6ex]

PC is always my preferred choice, unless its a broken port. Nier Automata and Titanfall 2 are the only 2 games I got it on the PS4 instead. One unpatched. The other un-install-able. Worst games of the years!

[notachance]

lol woolly you seem to mind it a lot when it's about XB

[GrubsterBeater]

Gotta love Woolly's obligatory "neutral gamer, everyone has an opinion, let's all get along" comment.

Reminds me of what RookieMonster used to do... throw in a neutral or praiseworthy comment once every month so that when someone calls him out on his clear bias and fanboyism, he would pull up his comment history and go: "See guys!! Look! I said this about PlayStation just last week!! I'm totally unbiased and neutral!! I also TOTALLY own a PlayStation. Want proof?! Here's a random picture of a PS4 with RookieMonster written in MSPaint right next to the PS4, still think I'm a liar?!"

[Knushwood Butt]

You are peak.

[Aceman18]

Lol at GTSport the games gameplay is top notch and that's what matters most gameplay. Not clicking this article, but Nier was also top notch and in my top 5 of games of the year.

[Kyizen]

They just added a ton of single plauer content

[NotSoMad]

Has nier on the list and mentions nothing about the story at all in his review.

[Zarock]

I bet he just got the A ending and quit lol.

[AKS]

It's difficult to say much about it given he didn't play through it.

[Chaosdreams]

Nier... Is on your worst list?

I won't even try to process how stupid that is.

[isarai]

I like all the damage control votes, NIER's a masterpiece IMO, and it looks like the author is downvoting anyone who goes against his opinion

[sammarshall102]

Yeah this list is already invalid with that mistake

Nier is incredible

[Snookies12]

Yep, just seeing Nier in the picture of this article ensures I won't click on it. "Veteran game reviewer" Haha, okay.

[crazychris4124]

Danger Zone is a good game now after several content and improvement updates, just got 12 more levels 2 days ago. Its always on sale for around $10, cant go wrong at that price point.

[PressXtoBacon]

You didn't quite hit Nier the mark on this one.

[isarai]

Why is NIER on this list? it's freakin amazeballz!...

Just how? it's on EVERYBODY's game of the year list, including a nominee for the VGAs

[Aenea]

Nier, huh? Funny....

[KaaF]

Garbage click bait by putting Nier front and center, don't feed him clicks.

[chris235]

this blogger lost me even before i could click the article. i saw nier in the tags of his scribbling. clearly a trollbait article. next.

[PlatinumGX]

Worst articles of 2017, this one is on top.

[Knushwood Butt]

This.

Enough of these waste of bandwidth sites.

[TheGoodestBoi]

Nier? Lol. Guess it's not surprising as this shit-for-brains reviewer likes pulling out the click bait stuff

[bluefox755]

What a stupid list, lol. Don't waste your click.

[Legatus]

Nier: Automata is on the list ???
Yeeeaaah, i'm not gonna read this clickbait article.

[ifrit_caress]

"Veteran video game reviewer" my ass. Nier Automata was is an awesome game. This Paul Semel clearly has not played any game on Steam direct.

[Eiyuuou]

I can somewhat understand For Honor, but Nier?

What the hell is wrong with you?

[WeAreLegion]

Look, I understand if a game isn't your cup of tea, but a good game is objectively a good game. Nier is well made, even if you don't like it. I didn't particularly enjoy Breath of the Wild, but I wouldn't put it on a bad games list. It's just not a bad game. Author is crazy.

[Indigon]

Please don't click on the link, they only included Nier for the angry clicks. Let's not reward them.

[Blu3_Berry]

Nier Automata isn't really open world though. It's just not super linear, but rather have open hub areas. And Dull? Please the setting is way more fresh than some of the other games this year, especially since it's made by Platinum Games.

LOL this guy is smoking something. I can't take him seriously. He leaves like 2-3 sentences for explaining why he don't like a certain game, and it's not even detailed. .

[inxine]

Nier is on that list? what the actual fuck? you dont have to like the game, its ur opinion but that game has been one of the best games of 2017. think what you want about it, but its not a bad game by all means.

[DreadGara]

Why is Nier on that thumbnail while mentioning worst games of 2017?

[Skuletor]

Worst Veteran Video Game Reviewer Of 2017: Paul Semel

[pootymcpoockle]

He has Nier on the list guys, safe to say we can ignore this list.

[StormLegend]

Saying Nier is one of the worst games this year is so disrespectful and honestly tells you a lot about these so called "journalist" or wanna be "gamers" This article needs to be taken down.

[GamesMaster1982]

This guy is a F ing joke. Nier Automata is one of the best games this gen. It never received all them excellent reviews for nothing.

[Mr Lahey]

Why are you guys asking why Nier is on the list? Did you click and read the stuff? Yeah, that's why it's on the list..

[Segata]

WHY IS NIER IN THE THUMBNAIL!? Not even going to give this asshat a click. If you don't like a game fine but saying Nier is up there with Vroom in the Night Sky or ME:A is bull to the sh!t!

[_-EDMIX-_]

I'ma be like "breath of the wild Splatoon 2 arms Xenoblade 2 Mario Odyssey"

[Chocorocket]

lol nier automata is one of the best games of 2017
with the best OST this generation for a video game easily

[Lord_Sloth]

I see you have Nier on your list..... I won't even justify this level of absurdity with a click!

[snoopgg]

Pubm player unknown broken mess!

[jackymoved]

N4G is filled with shit. Very disappointed.

[Matrix6]

One of the ‘Worst (complainer) “Reviewer” of 2017’. I’m not even going to open up the clickless bait.

[aarogree]

Sorry, but after reading your reviews for NieR Automata and Rogue Trooper Redux, I was less than impressed. No mention of the story, just talk about the game mechanics.

That's not how you're supposed to do a review.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Why in the hell is Nier...you know what I don't even care.

[OpenGL]

Nier was not one of my favorite games of 2017 but you must have not played many games if it was one of your worst.
