It is also in my top favorite games to play. I just finished what I think is my 8th playthrough. The game is so unique when it comes to the comradery of the team. No other game I can think of comes close to it. Such a special game in my heart.
Despite its flaws I have loved every second of playing FFXV. I've beaten the game like 4 or 5 times over and never get bored of how satisfying basic sword combat feels. Also Episodes Ignis and Ardyn are some of my favourite DLCs for a videogame out there. c:
FFXV is heartbreaking to me. I loved it for a good long while, until then it just kind of finished and I realised that I had absolutely no idea what the story was and nothing made any sense. It was such a beautiful world and the gameplay was pretty good mostly, but it just absolutely had no coherence and was a narrative disaster. I wish they would just tear it apart and remake it into what it should have been.
Rage 2 is at the top of my list for this. The gun play was some of the most fun I've ever had, but the world was just huge, empty, and boring. The convoys were maybe the only thing that justified the size. Also, you get the best vehicle at the very beginning, which makes finding other cars kinda meh.
Rage gave the feeling of this is such a cool idea, Rage 2 will hit it out of the park .... and then didnt. THe shooting of individual parts effecting & injuring the enemy and their response to that injury, soooo cool.
I heard that Arkane was hoping that Redfall would get cancelled after the buyout of Bethesda cause nothing was coming together and it was Bethesda’s idea to make it a live service game before the buyout, but Microsoft told them to work on it and gave them all the freedom/time to develop the game until it wasn’t.
100% Although you did put your finger on an important detail, it needs to be played on high difficulty. Otherwise it just doesn't seem to have any tension.
Such a massive, MASSIVE departure from the Magnum Opus, Chaos Theory. I got an hour in, and never cared to finish. Revisited in 2018 with a Humble bundle that included the game. (Maybe Fanatic? Don't remember) Got 2 hours in, and never cared to finish. What a rocky series. The first two games, although important to the genre, are difficult to go back to. 2007's "Chaos Theory" still plays like it was released a few years ago. The unprecedented amount of detail and AI improvements over the first two games were second to none. No game had a progressive "drying" system where you would dry off after swimming and leave smaller and smaller puddles of water behind you as you walked. Why didn't they fucking build off Chaos Theory, I will never, ever know.
As soon as I saw FF15 in the thumbnail I flew in ready to call you out. You hit all the points and still talked about it with a love that sounded more like sadness rather than anger. FF15 is amazing but it really could have been better.
@@Xandersama The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is split into 3 distinct sections. Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Given the ending to the game, there was alot of potential to continue the story into the other parts of the Divine Comedy.
On Fable 3: I invested in so much real estate; owned so many towns that the treasury never ran dry during rent. I even was able to lower the rent for all my tenants. I was a beloved king😂
I agree with what was said about FFXV, but even still. I have about 150 hours played and still have far to go to finish all the content. I haven't even done most of the super dungeons. I wish making a game than can keep people busy for at least a couple years was more common. Probably why i like metal gear solid v so much
Honestly I don’t get all the hate for it, I know it wasn’t quite what people were expecting and the time that the game took to release was far too long…but for an unfinished game it was fun, I liked the story, and I was SO attached to the characters. Not very many games can make me feel the level of love that I had for my boys in FFXV.
@@perceidshonestly I've been wondering the same thing, I've been having fun in it I'm about 80hrs in and trying to get my platinum I'm about 80% done, combat is pretty fun I like the warping power alot its really cool.
Honestly the fishing in FF15 is the best I've played in any game, to the point that it had me holding my controller sideways and spinning the stick like a reel. Easily in my top 5 favorite things about that game alongside the food models, road trip vibes, combat once you get all the swords and bonus gear from the secret dungeon, and of course the flying car upgrade.
I will defend Dragon Age 2 as my favorite of the series, but there is an outside factor. It came out a few weeks after my mother passed away. If there was a time in my life that I needed to get lost in a narrative and ignore the real world, it was then. So for all of its flaws, it succeeded in doing what I needed it to do, when I needed it to.
I feel ya there. DAO was the same for me: lost my dad, stepdad, and best friend in September 2014 and was just lost in grief and drugs. DAO was my escape from all that. So I can respect that feeling
I'll defend it because it's a fantastic game. It has fun gameplay and the story is incredible. It got hate for not being Origins, but I loved what it was.

As ridiculous as it sounds, I truly hope for a remake of this game. At its highs, it's the best game I've ever played, and at its lows, it's below average
Didn’t the Royale or Royal edition fix it? I heard some streams said it was better after. I’m not much of a FF guy, but had the impression it was okay now
@@Tiger0fDojima "fixed". it was something you had to pay for even if you had already gotten the collectors edition of the original game. It made some things better, but still wasn't enough, and even then it was missing a lot of things that were the cancelled dlcs
I do want to see an RPG try the roadtrip angle again. Four friends hanging out in their car, chatting as they head from one place to another, was a high point of the Final Fantasy XV experience and I figure that it would probably be a high point of any other game that includes it.
Splinter Cell: Conviction to me was my favorite Splinter Cell of all time. It had a great story and exciting fast paced stealth. Plus the interrogations right from the start were badass. I still play through it once a year or so.
I played double agent with my father and man what a wild ride. We booted up conviction and my dad heard all the cursing and was like, “Yep we are done”.
I remember renting, and beating Dante's Inferno way back in the day. Always thought it was just an awesome one-off that was a great alternative to God of War 1-3.
ffxv has some mechanics that really need to become mainstream in open world rpgs like leveling up after you take rest rather than automatically leveling after defeating a monster like in other games follower ai and their interactions eating food gives you stat boosts instead of health charecter model keeps getting filthy unless u rest in a hotel with bathroom
While I enjoyed the zipping around with the armiger, I am glad that 7 remake and 16 kept the core battle system, cause that's the most solid I've seen since KH2.
2nd and last points so fucking awful, no thanks. keep that shit out of my games.... having to constantly BATHE IN A VIDEO GAME??? fuck that. having to wait until you rest to level up like in fking dark souls in an open world RPG??? what the fuck is wrong with you that you'd think that's a good idea!?!?!?!?!?
I went into FFXV knowing nothing about the game's development. I had zero expectations and I absolutely loved the game and put over 100 hours into it. I was so immersed in it that I didn't even notice if the game felt unfinished or not.
Man, hit the nail on the head about MGS 5. I really enjoyed that gameplay a lot and played it just over the 100 hour mark. I know what you mean by it feeling like something's missing. I will say the end result does kinda fit the theme of the story, in a way. I'm definitely glad I played it but I totally get where people are coming from when it comes to the story feeling unfinished.
I absolutely love DA2. It's probably my fave game of all time. 26 completely playthroughs. I could ignore the rough bits because the good stuff was so good. Would've loved to see what the devs could've done if they didn't get hamstrung by a short dev cycle. I also love ff15 so much. Though, I do think it was greatly improved after a lot of patches. Still, the characters were great and I loved the story a lot. Made me tear up at the end
I remember buying that game new and only finishing I was young and could not afford to buy many games, such a massive dissapointment. Like they didnt have time to make more than 1 map? c'mon man. Then add the absolutely shit gameplay to that. If they had kept the gameplay and mechanics from the first game it would have been a much much better game..
Splinter Cell Conviction is a great game imo. People just wanted another old school SC and since it wasnt that then people dismissed it instead of giving it the chance. The campaign was great and it had a phenomenal coop campaign too
FFXV was like the 8th game I played from the franchise (I started with FFVII back in the 90's) and I loved it, it made it not wanna go back to turn base combat ever again and FFVII Remake and FFXVI confirmed it to me. Also loved Dante's Inferno.
@@alexandroswashere3089 turn based has its audience. I wouldn't mind maybe not AAA game but decent turn based entry final fantasy sprinkled every couple of years
Great Video! 👏👍 I remember playing FFXV back in the day but totally either completely missed or just forgot about the car transforming into a plane... 😅😮😆
For me it's Little Hope (from The Dark Pictures Anthology): a very interesting mystery about a group of people who are attacked by the living corpses of past lives. It hints at how each life you have is somehow connected, and sins from one life can follow you into the next. .. only to completely destroy everything with one of the dumbest endings in videogame history.
I felt sad and pained when MGS5 was revealed as number one on this list. It could have been so much more at the end Such a great game, but was not allowed to be finished
Yes but the story counts too, crazy we waited decades for Kojima to get the only the always not perfect or accessible right in mgs which is the gameplay and then they took half of what we loved about mgs out which is like the 2 half hours cutscenes.
Not gonna my man Sweettooth some love Falcon, yo was in most the gameplay from PS Allstars, not a mention lol...... love your work..... keep kicking butt Gameranx
Final Fantasy XV is one of my top three games, however when I got it it was my first final fantasy and I didn't know about its history so when I started playing I didn't go in with any expectations so I really enjoyed it.
it was the same for me! my first final fantasy and i had such a blast, got platinum for it yesterday after around 120hours playing casually, and now im gonna 100% it on steam ☺️
For me FFXV is one of than saddest gameing story in my life. I had money rdy for my ps 3 (which in the end i didnt bought), waiting for legendary FF XIII versus. The final product had nothing from ogrinal trailer, other the main characters which was changed anyway. When i Look at 15 i get this sad feeling each time, that i could play masterpiece but now i never will.
@@OmnigmaTheMaster For me, I was looking at FF15 as the next hope for FF, I hadn't played a FF game since FF10. Everything looked epic. The open landscapes with FF Monsters in them, and the original music video trailer. But then it released and honestly looked like one of those badly designed MMOs. Nothing felt epic about this game, and the story seemed nonsensical. I could never get into it, and never bought it. I ended up waiting for 16 which was the right move, as 16 is a game I loved and completed 100%. I have full trust in CBU3 games now.
Fable 3 used to be a guilty pleasure game for me. I think it's a bad fable game, but it was an awesome landlord simulator. My biggest problem with it is that it only has 5 save slots, and if you're playing on the xbox one or series x, there's really no way to delete those files and start over. Which sucks, but there's nothing i can do about it.
Dragon Age 2 launched with a huge bug that let you repeatedly turn in quests for the same reward as many times as you want. It basically let you turn in the first missions reward until you had thousands of gold coins and max level right at the start. It was patched but you could go in on the ps3 and delete the patch and disconnect from the internet until you did this lol most memorable thing about the game honestly.
Yeah, Castlevania LoS2 had such potential especially following on from the first Castlevania. It think about it and it still bugs me to this day wishing LoS2 was made better. The boss fights were the only good thing about the game and you couldn't just pick those parts to play like you could in LoS1, you had to play through the whole game to play them again and it just didn't feel worth is which is a shame. Overall it was just a major let down.
I would love a remake off ff15. It had so much potential, I loved the four main characters and their friendship. And story wise it was good, but it wasn’t told in a good way. It has a good foundation to work on. But there is so much things that they could change to make ff15 an amazing game.
Yes please. FFXV is literally the only FF that actually needs a Remake. It has all the ingredients to be a masterpiece, they just need to piece it together.
I think with Redfall, it feels like a secondary team from Arkane made it. It has the Sledgehammer Games "Call of Duty in theory" feel. The A team is (hopefully) working on an "actual" Arkane game
I actually really liked FF15, I rarely play JRPGs because they're a bit slower than what I like, but something about riding the car around this pretty ass world that they made was really nice and calming
Should have the previous videos of a series linked in the description to these videos, I sometimes stumble on a part 2 and would like to quickly jump to the part 1 that I missed, just a friensly suggestion :)
FF15 felt like it was meant to have a second open world map. I think they realised they didn't have enough time, so they put the second act of the game on literal rails instead of giving you a whole new area to explore. Data miners discovered that there actually was a big map for the second half, so it's probably true.
Omg this explains so much. I got this exact feeling when I was playing through the game and left Lucis & Accordo for Tenebrae & Niflheim. After Lucis & Accordo the whole game felt so rushed and like a completely different game. During the first half I kept expecting to explore the other continent. I hope we get to see the finalised version of FF15 one day with a complete story, all the character arcs rounded out (especially Lunafreya's, Aranea's and Regis') as well as the Kingdom of Tenebrae & Empire of Niflheim being traversable.
Playstation All Stars: Speaking as an animator who worked on the game, believe me you are preaching to the choir. Everyone at Superbot also wanted all those characters. Wanting them badly and being able to get them were too different things since they were owned by other studios, who often had their own agendas ('oh we don't want our IP in that kind of game', 'you can use her but you can only use the model from the latest less popular game', 'Sure you can have him! for $5 mil', etc). Crash not being there was especially irritating for us and we kept hoping we'd be able to get him for a reasonable price in free DLC at least but they never could work out a deal. He and Spyro were owned by Activision at the time....so...now...Microsoft?! Some of the design choices were made to differentiate the game from Smash Bros. We had hoped it'd sell well enough to iron out some of the flaws in a sequel...keep in mind it took Smash Bros awhile to get good. And anybody ever play Street Fight 1? Yeah right
MGS5 is an amazing game if you don't care for the story. I didn't an thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. The variety of options, the adaptability, the user-friendliness made the game an absolute blast, but I skipped through all the cutscenes. My only gripe was the forced online integration that resulted in me losing my best fob staff because I kept getting raided after I stopped playing for a few months.
I remember running around in MGSV for a couple of hours trying to figure out what I needed to do in order to deploy the Battle Gear, only to find out you don’t. All that time, and visits, and buildup, to nothing! Still a great game, I still play it, but man that would have pushed it over the top.
Metal gear phantom pain is one of my most played games in my library and i STILL find myself going back into it but as weird as it sounds it is the only metal gear solid game ive ever played 😅 i was told the previous entries dont have the same gameplay
I freaking loved FF15, was my first FF game and I thought it was outstanding, but finding out about all the cut content and all it could have been really disappointed me. I knew the game was much more ambitious originally and the world would have been sprawling. I really hope they return to it and make the complete version (Ik there’s royal edition but still not the final product) or maybe FFXV 2, thought the story had so much more to offer imo.
I liked ff15 it was a good game and it had a lot of things to do that wasn’t a chore and most importantly it had replay ability you always find new things to do even after finishing the game most of them are in dungeons but who doesn’t like dungeon levels
The only time in my life I have ever taken a day off work for a game release was for MGS 5. I have never been more disappointed in a game release. MGS 1-4 were and are some of my favorite games. I loved the cinematic games they were. I tried MGS 5 again a few mo ths ago, fell off of it after the quiet fight.
Man ,I don't know if I'm trippin but those vampires from redfall 1:49 gave me so much Delilah and witches from Dishonored 2 vibe literally those hands and animations, not saying it's bad
I’ve been playing games since 1982 and I still play and I never liked Crash Bandicoot lol. I’m probably alone in this, but FF7 was my reason to PlayStation when it came out.
I feel hogwarts legacy could be on a list like this. If isn’t bad, but they could have leaned into the rpg elements so much more and the game lacks consequences for using the unforgivable cursed
The premise, time period, and lore of Order 1886 but damn the mechanics / jank made it tough, huge missed potential. Solid list as always Falcon, when can we get a dou vid with Jake? Cheers!
The last 2 Splinter Cells I found very enjoyable. I wasn’t attached to the previous entries and didn’t like the ones where if you were seen you failed. I liked that you could adapt when getting caught. They were fun games.
Your bang on about metal gear solid 5, I loved the prologue but after that all the missions just felt like side missions.. ganeplay was great but the storyline stopped after the first mission in my opinion. Game had so much potential 😢
Honestly the Redfall thing is funny to me, if they truly went in with the mindset of "lets make them never ask us to do this again" That's actually funny. Making a game like that on purpose just to be like..don't ask us to do this again lmao. Also I loved Dante's inferno lol
It's not a matter of Disney being huge and rich in order to get rights to the X-Men, Fantastic 4, etc. 20th Century Fox had to be willing to go along with it at the time, and they had no desire to do so. Now that 20th Century Fox has outright sold their whole company to Disney, and they have those rights finally, maybe they should finally make another one.
I don't think marvel vs Capcom will ever be good again & that's so sad. I used to play it on an arcade cabinet in the grocery store where I grew up & once we had a console I fell in love a second time
Infamous 2nd Son. Good game that was really fun but I think there was a lot of wasted potential. The powers were super satisfying but felt pretty limited if you think about what could have been done to expand them. Bigger and badder with more ways to play and interact with the world would have made that game really great, as well as more set pieces and better side quests c:
I was interested in FFXV, but then I saw Conan's review on Cluless Gamer, & quickly dropped the idea. Thank God I didn't waste my time playing that trainwreck. 😂

Yeah I enjoyed it as well
Remember the trailer with the "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone" song. It was amazing
Same. Game ruled
@@Zenergy758 as did i. and like others i wanted a sequel. but seeing that the game is over 10 years old not gonna happen
@mattalan6618 yeah I feel you. It's more likely to get a reboot and even THAT seems unlikely
We really need to get rid of EA. And for the most part, all this insane MTX and corporate overlord bs.
It’s sad but it isn’t going anywhere (mtx) so long as there is a player base. Even if it’s only 1000 players world wide. 😂😂
Ha! Good luck with that.
TakeTwo/Rockstar as well
You and me both. EA is cancer. The only way it could be redeemed is if they had a hard reset, or were somehow bought by a better company.
No they will stay - we love it!
Most games nowadays could make this list
😔
But ff15 is truly a special case.
Facts!
Thank God that the internet gamers aren't the majority

I remember renting, and beating Dante's Inferno way back in the day. Always thought it was just an awesome one-off that was a great alternative to God of War 1-3.
ffxv has some mechanics that really need to become mainstream in open world rpgs
like leveling up after you take rest rather than automatically leveling after defeating a monster like in other games
follower ai and their interactions
eating food gives you stat boosts instead of health
charecter model keeps getting filthy unless u rest in a hotel with bathroom
While I enjoyed the zipping around with the armiger, I am glad that 7 remake and 16 kept the core battle system, cause that's the most solid I've seen since KH2.
Like Xenoblade 3?
2nd and last points so fucking awful, no thanks. keep that shit out of my games.... having to constantly BATHE IN A VIDEO GAME??? fuck that. having to wait until you rest to level up like in fking dark souls in an open world RPG??? what the fuck is wrong with you that you'd think that's a good idea!?!?!?!?!?
Err, no?
I didn't know they got dirty
I went into FFXV knowing nothing about the game's development. I had zero expectations and I absolutely loved the game and put over 100 hours into it. I was so immersed in it that I didn't even notice if the game felt unfinished or not.
Game was fucking awesome.
Final Fantasy 15 was one of my favorite games! The setting and story was really good!
Man, hit the nail on the head about MGS 5. I really enjoyed that gameplay a lot and played it just over the 100 hour mark. I know what you mean by it feeling like something's missing. I will say the end result does kinda fit the theme of the story, in a way. I'm definitely glad I played it but I totally get where people are coming from when it comes to the story feeling unfinished.
I put like 150 into it and I enjoyed it… but I get what he saying
Yeah the game just petered out.
the thing is form what was said, 2 whole chapters were cut out. thats alot of content for a 3 chapter long game.
The story lacks the charm and mystery from the previous games and the absence of David Hayter is like a cake without icing.
I absolutely love DA2. It's probably my fave game of all time. 26 completely playthroughs. I could ignore the rough bits because the good stuff was so good. Would've loved to see what the devs could've done if they didn't get hamstrung by a short dev cycle.
I also love ff15 so much. Though, I do think it was greatly improved after a lot of patches. Still, the characters were great and I loved the story a lot. Made me tear up at the end
Same, i liked DA2 more than 3
26? Holey guacamole
I remember buying that game new and only finishing I was young and could not afford to buy many games, such a massive dissapointment.
Like they didnt have time to make more than 1 map? c'mon man. Then add the absolutely shit gameplay to that.
If they had kept the gameplay and mechanics from the first game it would have been a much much better game..
@@Beeyo176 I really really liked it. lol
Liked DA2 as well
Splinter Cell Conviction is a great game imo. People just wanted another old school SC and since it wasnt that then people dismissed it instead of giving it the chance. The campaign was great and it had a phenomenal coop campaign too
MGS5 was still one of the best stealth games ever. Even with how dirty they did the game and the Hideo.
The stealth gameplay was sick, but the story didn’t interest me at all. The absence of David Hayter’s voice turned me away as well.
FFXV was like the 8th game I played from the franchise (I started with FFVII back in the 90's) and I loved it, it made it not wanna go back to turn base combat ever again and FFVII Remake and FFXVI confirmed it to me. Also loved Dante's Inferno.
Unpopular opinion: I love FFXV (it was my first FF so i might be a little biased).
Definitely biased. I enjoyed that game from start to end and continued playing. I didn’t even know it wasn’t fully done
I loved it too. Maybe it’s because I waited for the Windows edition and didn’t hear about people’s opinion on it before making my own.
I platd everything (even comrades). It was a good game. Good, not great. I have complaints but overall would still recommend
It is unfinished AF but i like the real time fighting it has.Turn base combat feels boring slow and so playstation 2
@@alexandroswashere3089 turn based has its audience. I wouldn't mind maybe not AAA game but decent turn based entry final fantasy sprinkled every couple of years
Great Video! 👏👍 I remember playing FFXV back in the day but totally either completely missed or just forgot about the car transforming into a plane... 😅😮😆
Dante's Inferno could be amazing if it got remade
It was amazing anyway
For me it's Little Hope (from The Dark Pictures Anthology): a very interesting mystery about a group of people who are attacked by the living corpses of past lives. It hints at how each life you have is somehow connected, and sins from one life can follow you into the next.
.. only to completely destroy everything with one of the dumbest endings in videogame history.
The voice acting in Man Of Medan was so bad
The ending was disappointing as hell. It was comedy seeing the bus driver spout off nonsense to himself at the end.
@@brandonbrady2304The black dude in Man of Medan has a funny lisp. His voice doesn’t even match the character haha.
I felt sad and pained when MGS5 was revealed as number one on this list. It could have been so much more at the end
Such a great game, but was not allowed to be finished
I felt pained as well. You could even say I felt phantom... pained...
@@ade977that game experience was complete.
Yes but the story counts too, crazy we waited decades for Kojima to get the only the always not perfect or accessible right in mgs which is the gameplay and then they took half of what we loved about mgs out which is like the 2 half hours cutscenes.
Not gonna my man Sweettooth some love Falcon, yo was in most the gameplay from PS Allstars, not a mention lol...... love your work..... keep kicking butt Gameranx
Final Fantasy XV is one of my top three games, however when I got it it was my first final fantasy and I didn't know about its history so when I started playing I didn't go in with any expectations so I really enjoyed it.
it was the same for me! my first final fantasy and i had such a blast, got platinum for it yesterday after around 120hours playing casually, and now im gonna 100% it on steam ☺️
For me FFXV is one of than saddest gameing story in my life. I had money rdy for my ps 3 (which in the end i didnt bought), waiting for legendary FF XIII versus. The final product had nothing from ogrinal trailer, other the main characters which was changed anyway. When i Look at 15 i get this sad feeling each time, that i could play masterpiece but now i never will.
@@OmnigmaTheMaster For me, I was looking at FF15 as the next hope for FF, I hadn't played a FF game since FF10.
Everything looked epic. The open landscapes with FF Monsters in them, and the original music video trailer.
But then it released and honestly looked like one of those badly designed MMOs.
Nothing felt epic about this game, and the story seemed nonsensical.
I could never get into it, and never bought it. I ended up waiting for 16 which was the right move, as 16 is a game I loved and completed 100%. I have full trust in CBU3 games now.
@@RavusNox-z5i FF X was peak of Old turn base FF which i miss so much.
My fav FF is 7 Crisis Core and then 1 PSP and FF X
Its story is probably the worst told in not just gaming but fiction in general. It even gets retconned in a novel!
always love a top 10 video with game's name right on the timestamp, it does show they respect your time.
A nice touch yeah
Redfall could’ve been so amazing,
but I still had some fun with it
Fable 3 used to be a guilty pleasure game for me. I think it's a bad fable game, but it was an awesome landlord simulator. My biggest problem with it is that it only has 5 save slots, and if you're playing on the xbox one or series x, there's really no way to delete those files and start over. Which sucks, but there's nothing i can do about it.
Ff15 still offered alot to love. But you can definitely feel the development hell it went through
Dragon Age 2 launched with a huge bug that let you repeatedly turn in quests for the same reward as many times as you want. It basically let you turn in the first missions reward until you had thousands of gold coins and max level right at the start. It was patched but you could go in on the ps3 and delete the patch and disconnect from the internet until you did this lol most memorable thing about the game honestly.
Yeah, Castlevania LoS2 had such potential especially following on from the first Castlevania. It think about it and it still bugs me to this day wishing LoS2 was made better. The boss fights were the only good thing about the game and you couldn't just pick those parts to play like you could in LoS1, you had to play through the whole game to play them again and it just didn't feel worth is which is a shame. Overall it was just a major let down.
Quantium break had so much potential, it introduced a whole different enemy or relm, and it just disappeared not to be expanded on
Make you go, “oh who’s that” 😂 😂 😂 stay awesome, I love the videos!
Some of these choices were decent IMO loved Dante's inferno
I'm glad they didn't let snake talk. It's not snake if it's not David.
Well thats just the thing. Was it Snake?
The fact that these games were semi good and had so much potential is what made the letdown so much more painful.
Gameranx’s intro sound is now as pleasing and legendary as Mario collecting coins sound. Fight me
is it just me or does anyone else want a final fantasy 15 remake?
I would love a remake off ff15. It had so much potential, I loved the four main characters and their friendship. And story wise it was good, but it wasn’t told in a good way. It has a good foundation to work on. But there is so much things that they could change to make ff15 an amazing game.
Yes please. FFXV is literally the only FF that actually needs a Remake. It has all the ingredients to be a masterpiece, they just need to piece it together.
your impression of Snake's voices are awesome, lol!
I think with Redfall, it feels like a secondary team from Arkane made it. It has the Sledgehammer Games "Call of Duty in theory" feel. The A team is (hopefully) working on an "actual" Arkane game
Top 20 most badass lines in video games.
I actually really liked FF15, I rarely play JRPGs because they're a bit slower than what I like, but something about riding the car around this pretty ass world that they made was really nice and calming
FF15 and The Order 1886 were two of the VERY few games i bothered finishing in thep past few years. i liked em
Should have the previous videos of a series linked in the description to these videos, I sometimes stumble on a part 2 and would like to quickly jump to the part 1 that I missed, just a friensly suggestion :)
FF15 felt like it was meant to have a second open world map. I think they realised they didn't have enough time, so they put the second act of the game on literal rails instead of giving you a whole new area to explore.
Data miners discovered that there actually was a big map for the second half, so it's probably true.
Omg this explains so much. I got this exact feeling when I was playing through the game and left Lucis & Accordo for Tenebrae & Niflheim. After Lucis & Accordo the whole game felt so rushed and like a completely different game. During the first half I kept expecting to explore the other continent.
I hope we get to see the finalised version of FF15 one day with a complete story, all the character arcs rounded out (especially Lunafreya's, Aranea's and Regis') as well as the Kingdom of Tenebrae & Empire of Niflheim being traversable.
Very interesting video. Well done!
Biomutant so irrelevant now it didn’t even make the list
I was so hyped and it the definition of ok
Playstation All Stars: Speaking as an animator who worked on the game, believe me you are preaching to the choir. Everyone at Superbot also wanted all those characters. Wanting them badly and being able to get them were too different things since they were owned by other studios, who often had their own agendas ('oh we don't want our IP in that kind of game', 'you can use her but you can only use the model from the latest less popular game', 'Sure you can have him! for $5 mil', etc). Crash not being there was especially irritating for us and we kept hoping we'd be able to get him for a reasonable price in free DLC at least but they never could work out a deal. He and Spyro were owned by Activision at the time....so...now...Microsoft?!
Some of the design choices were made to differentiate the game from Smash Bros. We had hoped it'd sell well enough to iron out some of the flaws in a sequel...keep in mind it took Smash Bros awhile to get good. And anybody ever play Street Fight 1? Yeah right
MGS5 is an amazing game if you don't care for the story. I didn't an thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. The variety of options, the adaptability, the user-friendliness made the game an absolute blast, but I skipped through all the cutscenes. My only gripe was the forced online integration that resulted in me losing my best fob staff because I kept getting raided after I stopped playing for a few months.
4:39 couldn’t have said it better myself.. this is the best party AI I’ve ever played with!
I remember running around in MGSV for a couple of hours trying to figure out what I needed to do in order to deploy the Battle Gear, only to find out you don’t. All that time, and visits, and buildup, to nothing! Still a great game, I still play it, but man that would have pushed it over the top.
Metal gear phantom pain is one of my most played games in my library and i STILL find myself going back into it but as weird as it sounds it is the only metal gear solid game ive ever played 😅 i was told the previous entries dont have the same gameplay
Id vote jumpforce is a game with wasted potential
2:36 that makes a lot of sense 😂😂
Falcon should make a list about games that did live up 2 the hype. That will be a very short list.
This upload was entertaining so looking forward to 3.
Atlas Fallen BYB incoming?
I love Dante's inferno but I agree . It could've been great
FF15 was great IMO...road trip with the bros...also enjoyed Dante's Inferno...got plats in both of those games
I freaking loved FF15, was my first FF game and I thought it was outstanding, but finding out about all the cut content and all it could have been really disappointed me. I knew the game was much more ambitious originally and the world would have been sprawling. I really hope they return to it and make the complete version (Ik there’s royal edition but still not the final product) or maybe FFXV 2, thought the story had so much more to offer imo.
Dantes Inferno was amazing. Loved that game and wish they would do a remaster
Those Arkane comments didnt age well
19:58 That's the best Kiefer Sutherland impression I have ever heard.
I liked ff15 it was a good game and it had a lot of things to do that wasn’t a chore and most importantly it had replay ability you always find new things to do even after finishing the game most of them are in dungeons but who doesn’t like dungeon levels
did anyone hear him say "from start to beginning" around 6:30 lol
The only time in my life I have ever taken a day off work for a game release was for MGS 5. I have never been more disappointed in a game release. MGS 1-4 were and are some of my favorite games. I loved the cinematic games they were. I tried MGS 5 again a few mo ths ago, fell off of it after the quiet fight.
Man ,I don't know if I'm trippin but those vampires from redfall 1:49 gave me so much Delilah and witches from Dishonored 2 vibe literally those hands and animations, not saying it's bad
Bro redfall even hadn't any potential to waste
Just straight up garbage
I’ve been playing games since 1982 and I still play and I never liked Crash Bandicoot lol. I’m probably alone in this, but FF7 was my reason to PlayStation when it came out.
I feel hogwarts legacy could be on a list like this. If isn’t bad, but they could have leaned into the rpg elements so much more and the game lacks consequences for using the unforgivable cursed
I love Dante’s and don’t deserve put in this list. We need Dante’s inferno 2!
As soon as I hear his voice and the "hi folks, it's Falcon" instant like.
Good to hear you sounding better, Falcon! Have you been sick?
The premise, time period, and lore of Order 1886 but damn the mechanics / jank made it tough, huge missed potential. Solid list as always Falcon, when can we get a dou vid with Jake? Cheers!
The last 2 Splinter Cells I found very enjoyable. I wasn’t attached to the previous entries and didn’t like the ones where if you were seen you failed. I liked that you could adapt when getting caught. They were fun games.
Your bang on about metal gear solid 5, I loved the prologue but after that all the missions just felt like side missions.. ganeplay was great but the storyline stopped after the first mission in my opinion. Game had so much potential 😢
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 was great. It has a huge roster list.
That was such a good Keifer Sutherland impression 😂
Can we take a second to appreciate Falcon's Keifer Sutherland impression?
Splite Cell conviction was a great couple of books though
Good list! Def agree with the top pick. MGS5 could have been LEGENDARY!!!
Honestly the Redfall thing is funny to me, if they truly went in with the mindset of "lets make them never ask us to do this again" That's actually funny. Making a game like that on purpose just to be like..don't ask us to do this again lmao. Also I loved Dante's inferno lol
It's not a matter of Disney being huge and rich in order to get rights to the X-Men, Fantastic 4, etc. 20th Century Fox had to be willing to go along with it at the time, and they had no desire to do so. Now that 20th Century Fox has outright sold their whole company to Disney, and they have those rights finally, maybe they should finally make another one.
I don't think marvel vs Capcom will ever be good again & that's so sad. I used to play it on an arcade cabinet in the grocery store where I grew up & once we had a console I fell in love a second time
FFXV may not be the greatest but I still sure as hell enjoyed it
Dude this Channel got me back into gaming after having stopped for a very long time love this channel
Soooo glad you mentioned Dragon Age 2... such a disservice and has been forgotten about..
Neymar Jr isnt a videogame, but could be on the list
Infamous 2nd Son. Good game that was really fun but I think there was a lot of wasted potential. The powers were super satisfying but felt pretty limited if you think about what could have been done to expand them. Bigger and badder with more ways to play and interact with the world would have made that game really great, as well as more set pieces and better side quests c:
Also better antagonists. The antagonists in the game were forgettable af.
That Keifer Sutherland impression was spot on!
I was interested in FFXV, but then I saw Conan's review on Cluless Gamer, & quickly dropped the idea. Thank God I didn't waste my time playing that trainwreck. 😂
