Top ten most disappointing games of 2018. Okay, top twelve.

This is never a fun list to make, because these are all games I wanted to like.  Without exception, they are games I was looking forward to playing. What went wrong?  My expectations, the games themselves, or — most likely — some combination of the two?  This year’s list actually goes up to twelve because …

I wasn't disappointed with Fallout 76 because it turned out exactly how I expected it to. Just Cause 4 wasn't a disappointment either because we all knew it was going to be more of the same, the series got stale after the 2nd game.

[coolbeans]

I don't know about Just Cause 4. That big trailer showcasing the tornado had me convinced they would also polish up the structure.

[SegaGamer]

I haven't gotten around to playing Just Cause 4 yet, is the Tornado any good?

[coolbeans]

I wouldn't know. I haven't played yet either. :P

[mkis007]

Just cause 4 has some improvements to the playground of chaos structure the games have been building on but also takes some pretty big steps backwards in fidelity and sandbox style gameplay. No more unlimited explosives ( remote ones) no more grenades no more pistols (or other 2 handed). The d-pad now selects your grapple loadout rather than your weapon so holding the y or triangle button is now how you swap between your 2 weapons.

Graphics have taken a big hit. The water I could have forgiven if it wasnt for the massive lod issues. Trees and foliage pop in constantly and then for some reason dissapear again before reapearing one last time. There are other graphical bugs too like screen door textures. JC3 had perfect LOD.

Im hoping they will somehow fix everything but I doubt it. This is Square Enix who abandons games for new games.

Lmao at number 2

I wish I could take back my click to the linked article... Don't fall for clickbait.

Fight back with knowledge and save others the waste of time.

The writing on this website and the random capitalized letters. Gross.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

You put Ultimate at No. 2... because you had to work to unlock characters?

Immediately makes this website look like a joke. Sorry that progression is a bad thing now, in the journalist's eyes.

[roadkillers]

That’s why I am excited to play the new Smash Bros. I hope the new Mortal Kombat uses the Krypt unlock system. What’s the point of playing a fighting game solo if there are no unlocks?

[Sgt_Slaughter]

The person who did this list must have forgotten every Smash game before Smash Wii U. Unlocks and challenges to get characters were part of the excitement, getting Mewtwo in Melee was that last reward for your hard work (or leaving the console on for a long time overnight).

[pietro1212]

Having to unlock the fighters was a highlight for me. I muss having that feature in fighting games (games in general).

[roadkillers]

Yeah, it's definitely not just you.

Grand Theft Auto: playing one part of the city for 50 hours and memorizing every area of that location. Then the bridge gets fixed and it's like a new addition to the game.

Twisted Metal: play the game and beat it in certain ways unlockable you a battle pretty similar to Smash Bros where you have to beat the guy to unlock.

Mortal Kombat: Unlocks in the krypton when you gain enough monies. The unlocks are random from AA to ZZ

Pokemon: Tell me you were not like holy **** when you beat Gold/Silver only to find out that was just half the game...

I guess the last one was just progression, but..

[gangsta_red]

I remember when unlocking characters in fighting games was an actual thing. Now it's grinding for points and paying for extra characters.

[yoshatabi]

I played ultimate and thought it was boring a'f tbh. To each their own though.

[Theknightofnights]

"It’s called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate because Super Smash Bros. How Do I Unlock More Characters Because I’m Sick of Playing Kirby, Which Is Something I Never Thought I’d Say was too long to fit on the Nintendo store page."

8 characters are available from the start, so you don't have to play as just Kirby. Also, characters unlock pretty quickly. I unlocked my first character in the first 10 minutes.

[yoshatabi]

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the spirits mode. You start off playing as Kirby in that game mode.

[King_Noctis]

Which you can also quickly unlock other characters in that mode, with Mario being the quick second unlock if I remember right.

[pietro1212]

Except you don't have to pay that mode to unlock the roster.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Even then his excuse is about as solid as wet tissue paper.
Especially when just playing a single round of 1-stock mode vs Smash, suiciding, winning the unlock battle, then home-screen-shut-downing the system on the "joins the battle!" screen makes unlocking them all take less than a couple of hours.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Tomb Raider and Smash Bros?! You feeling okay over there, little buddy?

[Elda]

Imo SOTTR was fun.

[Casepb]

Smash was disappointing because you have to actually play it to get characters? Jesus shit what a lazy ass mofo.

[King_Noctis]

I think the author might prefer MT to unlock the character.

[ZeekQuattro]

Whats with these stupid Smash Ultimate sucks articles all of a sudden. In one the author is complaining because there are no secret characters to unlock and in this one the person complains that you have to play to unlock content. Even if they make some valid arguments it gets thrown out the window with nonsense like that.

[Starman69]

Worst tomb raider ever!!!! Shadow of the tomb raider was absolute crap!
