Don't know if I have 10 but for me I was expecting more from Hogwarts, Atomic Heart started well but got boring but nothing can top the total disappointment of Starfield. Starfield the game I was expecting to play over and over for years is a broken dull mess filled with loading screens and bugs, a space rpg that has little RPG elements and the worst exploration of any Bethesda game to date.
The Steam beta has fixed the lack of DLSS and the blurry textures but everything else is still broken

Yui_Suzumiya527d ago

Atomic Heart and Starfield are GOTY.

Sephiroushin529d ago

Something disappointing is when you expect more from something, just something to be good, and nobody expected The Lord of the Rings: Gollum to be good!

monkey602529d ago

Yeah can't say I was expecting much from Gollum and Walking Dead so they weren't dissapointments.

But Wanted: Dead, Redfall, Forespoken, Payday 3 and Starfield absolutely belong on there

Elda529d ago

I enjoyed Forspoken, Wanted Dead, Immortals Of Aveum & I'm on the last chapter of Atlas Fallen which I'm enjoying as well. The 2 games on that list I have to say were mediocre & average for me is Redfall & Starfield, with Redfall being very mediocre & Starfield being average at best. The other 4 I have not played.

ModsDoBetter529d ago

For me it's

Wanted: Dead
Redfall
Lords of The Fallen
MW3
Mortal Kombat 1
Payday 3
Crime Boss
Starfield
Diablo 4
Atomic Heart

This was the year that made me stop pre-ordering games. I am big on collectibles so always tend to order CE or don't want to miss out on pre-order bonuses but after so many disappointments this year I've just cancelled anything I had pre ordered already.

monkey602529d ago

Yeah, Crime Boss was a disappointment. It didn't even need to be spectacular to be good. Terminator and Robocop are great examples. But Crime Boss fell so flat

ModsDoBetter529d ago

They had that cast who all phoned it in and the characters were so poorly written. What even was Touchdown? Michael Rooker reduced to that!?

Terminator and Robocop are great, I love how peopler were complaining that Peter Weller phoned in the performance before the games launch but it launched to universal acclaim.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.

I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future

On playstation they have been quite successful

anast26d ago

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos26d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator26d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

i believe that 100%

but not cause its difficult to work the ps5, its cause the game itself is fundamentally broken asf

RaidenBlack35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Yea they need to fix it and I think they teased some major updates and patches this year. And as the norm we know even those won't be perfect and it'll take another year or two to reach a better state.
What Starfield also need is few more DLCs to fix the barrenness. .... and especially a substantial banger one with story and exploration to coincide with the PS5 launch and renew some interest.

dveio35d ago

"its cause the game itself is fundamentally broken asf"

Thanks.

I hate the rambling around pretty obvious things.

Such as, like you said, Starfield is just a big pile of broken code.

The latest news about Starfield's developmental environment just proved it.

badz14935d ago

If they release a PS5 version and it's still a loading screen simulator, they will just embarrass themselves.

Abear2135d ago

Corporate greed is the sole reason it’s coming to PS5. Expect the same game. This is M$ and Bethesda trying to recoup losses and capitalize on huge PS5 player base in an attempt to fund their next lame project.

neutralgamer199235d ago

Hopefully there is a huge major patch that gives the game a fresh chance

rudero35d ago

I believe it 100% because it was already being developed for PlayStation before they were acquired.

Not a rumor or a magical Microsoft push…
It was already in development.

-Foxtrot35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

They are going to have to do something to make you want the PS5 version

They can't escape all the negative coverage it's received since launch so they will need something to draw people in and honestly I can't think of anything.

It will sell, it just won't sell as well as they would have hoped for a Bethesda open world game now that they are launching late when opinions have already been made.

Hope it does pretty good, big fan of Bethesda.
But not gonna lie this game was fucking ass.

Probably my least favorite Bethesda style rpg ever.
Regretted paying to play it early.

moomoo31935d ago

UnbreakableAlex35d ago
