At the end when it showed Rach so sad, I was just thinking I wish o could give her a hug, then you all had the big group hug. I've seen a lot of hate for Rach in the comment section but I really like her personality and voice
Mike, from Texas There's another comment on this same video with someone ranting that Rach should be fired. The comment may have been taken down though
NET Alliance That was my first thought. My gaming group just wrapped up 100s of hours of Bad Company 2 & we were so looking forward to Brink as the next thing. We were done with it in a month.
I biggest gaming let down is kinda weird : Sega has abandoned Jet Set Radio Future. There is no word on a re-release or remaster or even Back Compat on Xbox One. Breaks my heart every passing day
Agreed. Sadly, it didn't sell well on Xbox. Furthermore, Sony and Nintendo have, weirdly, probably shown no interest in it, I think - they don't seem to like to get Microsoft's old games (or Microsoft don't seem to like to enable their games to end up on Sony or Nintendo consoles). Sony got Infamous and I reckon they erroneously think that's close enough in spirit. Nintendo got Splatoon and I reckon they erroneously think the same. Microsoft showed an interest in the 'Dreamcast-style wacky platforming rail battle' genre though as Insomniac released Sunset Overdrive. Sony, alas, don't have this 'all out fun' ethos that they sometimes used to have on the PS3 (e.g. Puppeteer). On PS4, Sony often have to have 'pseudo-serious' story first, visuals second, gameplay third it seems to me. Sometimes that works wonders for Sony with critics but sometimes the gameplay is so limited (e.g. The Order) that it kills a promising looking world. Sony wouldn't have supported and released the critically acclaimed Cuphead as it didn't have enough of a pseudo-serious 'human' story for Sony to get behind. Unfortunately, Microsoft give a lot of support on a first game in a series and then abandon interest if it doesn't sell. We need a company to have the risk taking originality of old Sega. They're all so conservative these days.
I actually find it very replayable because I want to get 5 stars on all the cases. The problem is that you're constantly saying the wrong things to suspects and having to quit and start from the last save to preserve the 5-star rating.
frishdawgz I fucking loved it, I loved driving around and being in that time, what people were like, the music, the buildings, the atmosphere. I actually thought the detective work and story was actually pretty good, I've replayed it a good few times, I'm thinking of picking it up on the switch. So unfortunate they didn't continue with that series, it could've been right up there with GTA at this point.
Corselo G well it is it say you can play with you self but it'll still be multi player think gta lobby like you don't have to play with other people but they will be in the server
Mafia III. After how amazing Mafia II was, i expected nothing but greatness for the 3rd entry of the series, but it turned out that the 2nd proved to be infinitely better in almost every way, and i just couldn’t bring myself to get even halfway through Mafia III.
After how badly I got burned on the first one, I was a fan of the originals. I stopped caring about the second one. Haven't played it, probably never will.
The flat story line of Gears of War 3 after the stellar nut punch that was Gears of War 2. Gow 2 was a game where you watched the characters you fell in love with in Gow 1 go through the grinder. Constant retreats, loses, deaths....Gow 3 just couldn't follow up on that
Everything you said about Brutal Legend is true... but I still love it for the feel of it - the mountains made of chrome, with engines sticking out of the ground, whole gothic level... There was a lot of great ideas for and adventure game, but they wanted something with multiplayer
TheReal Ghost wut? Nonono you’re thinking of battlefront 2015. 2017 had like no bugs, loads of content and was fun. Issue was ea pumping it with microtransactions, which have since been removed. I can recommend getting it, since it would seem you haven’t got it already.
I'm still a bit salty about the letdown that was Mass Effect 3's ending. Hours upon hours spent to get the best Paragon setting across the 3 games, i was a dedicated Talimancer and wanter her with me at the end, and we end up with 3 colors all representing equally 'meh' endings. Such a bloody waste of excellent potential. Yes, Deus Ex also has a 3-button ending, but at least they don't build up to it over 3 damn games.
SephiMasamune at least the Extended Cut provided closure regarding the state of the galaxy after the war and your party members and also the Leviathan DLC added significant backstory about the reapers and the Catalyst. Not perfect but million times better than the garbage that the Original ending was.
The fact that instead of Pokemon Z, we got the lazy nostalgia fest that was ORAS. Nothing done with Zygarde until the next generation and even that was half-assed in terms of how it was introduced in the story.
More like this please, this was amazing. For me my biggest let down was Batman Arkham Origins. I remember how every commerciial for that game was showing how Deathstroke was going to be in it and that he was going to be a major plot point that batman was going to fight multiple times. Now me being a huge fan of Deathstroke and Batman and his Arkham series I was beyond hyped. Then I get to the boss fight and beat Deathstroke so easily that it was almost boring. I waited the entire game for him to come back and have a right proper fight but he never did. Then Arkham Knight came along and I thought that I would get my fight in that game when he made his appearance only to get a tank fight which was even worse than the fight in Origins

To me its without a doubt a tie between madden 18 and NBA 2k18 as both were terrible money pits. But besides sports games i would have to say fable 3. Fable 2 was just so much fun and for fable 3 to have no menus and have the king/queen mechanic be utterly pointless was the last straw. The only thing they got right in that game was the chicken suit
Battlefront 2 (the new one). Was so hyped for that game, EA were saying all the right things about more maps, heroes etc. Played the beta, realised how the loot box leveling system worked, cancelled my pre order and was so sad about what they'd done.
BattleModeBainbridge DA: Origins is one of my favorite games of all time, but playing 2 made me sad. Using the same dungeon for multiple quests, the disinteresting story, and that half of the game is you preparing for the deep roads expedition, only to spend 5 minutes there and then come back to the same area you've already explored. That game hurt me bad
Agreed. I almost cried while playing that,because i had played origins more than 15 times with all dlc, but Da 2 was just... oh god. INQUISITION was okay atleast.. now.waiting the fourth
BattleModeBainbridge fuck yes, I was hoping somebody agreed with me, I was 9 when dragon age origins came out, my dad made a custom character that looked just like me and told me he wanted me to play it. Was the first RPG I ever played and I beat it like 7 times, and I was so hyped for the second but i played about 4 hours and never played again.
Thief (2014) I grew up playing the original Thief games and those are seriously my favorite games. And when that confusing, frustrating game came out in 2014...
Mine was Brink. I remember seeing that first trailer for the game and was hyped, loving the gameplay I was seeing and was amazed by the Parkour system in the game. I even convinced my friends to get it on midnight launch. Played it, the game was laggy as fuck, trash game with no campaign. After that I don't think I ever got another bad game again.
Dragon Age 2. Just, everything I cared about from the first one got gutted, in favor of this Single City Story that forced you into playing a Human Character with a backstory that wasn't as good as any of the Backstories you could start Origins with, and this emphasis on using the same three rooms over and over to give you more missions, instead of the really well thought out ones from the original. And I had defended this game, before it came out, for the more action-y feel that it was going with. Completely distracted by that, so I didn't have time to learn about all that other horse shit, until the game was in my hands.
Pretty obvious, but I have to say the ending of ME3. I was so wrung out but also amped up as the final push came about and I was so sure the epic finale was finally upon me. And then... I was so...I couldn’t process it at first, pacing the kitchen unable to accept what just happened.
Far cry 5 I was ecstatic waited like 2 years best one is far cry 3 I thought at least if it’s boring the villain is always good but I played it did not like the villain and the gameplay was meh
Turok Evolution, was told by the developers it was going to be ground breaking.......from the moment I heard the shite sound fx of the footsteps of the main character walking along a boardwalk in the opening scene I knew this was going to be a disappointment.
I actually blocked that from my memory. Mass effect trilogy is my favorite gaming series by far, I remember all the things it did right buy completely forgot about that trash ending lol thanks
it was a disappointing ending, but the game itself was very fun. After you beam up and meet the kid, shut game off and make own ending. In my mind Shepard final got that threesome with Ash and Liara for saving the galaxy a third time.
Agreed. Up to that point, the game (and series in general) had been a rollercoaster of epic and heartbreaking moments and I was amped up big-time for the final push to the beam...aaaaaaaand then...yeah.
Don’t know if this is my biggest but one that comes to mind is Jet Force Gemini. The game was going so well and was a ton of fun. We couldn’t wait to get to the final boss and then we found out to get to the boss you had to track down and free every single one of those ewok things. Still have never beaten the game because of this.
Big fan of the group stuff you're doing recently, it gives you a bit more freedom to let your personalities come though! Also, I'm with Rach. Skyward Sword was a bland, uninspiring, churned-out mess of a game with awful controls. I didn't finish it either. I still sigh whenever I think about it!
First off, I "LOVE" Jules tiara lol. But to hear Rach saying the she didn't finish a Zelda game blew my mind, she's said in almost every video I've seen her in how that was one of her favorite series (notes back to her N64 Christmas story).
Jules still rocking that crown 😂 Surprised there aren't more mentions of No man's sky, I loved the first couple of hours but it eventually dawns on you there was nowt to do. No doubt that the latest updates have changed the game now, but I remember going to CEX in Coventry a week after its release and there were literally shelves & shelves of the game for a couple of quid.. 🙁
I have to agree with Micro Machines World Series. Fortunately I got it through Humble as part of the Codemasters Bundle, and that game influenced me to get the bundle. Unfortunately everything that was said about that game and the previous games were true. While there are seasons to compete in, it becomes a grind, and after a certain point I got sick of it and uninstalled it. I even said I would have been furious if I paid full price for it, so my sympathies to anyone, Rich included, for getting it at full price.
The Sims 4. I pre-ordered it because I was that excited for it. I played 1,2 and 3 a lot. I pre-ordered a almost empty game in comparison to TS3. (to be honest, I almost have all the expansion packs and a few stuff packs for TS3, but still)
Metroid Prime 2, Resident Evil 0, and 6. MP2- Switching between world's was annoying, forced multiplayer that had limited control movement, taking damage in dark world was annoying (I kept thinking for an advance Chozo suit, it's not handling this environment that well), and limited light/dark ammo. It's the only game in the trilogy that I didn't complete. (Yes, I know you get ammo and armor upgrades as you progress, but by the time you do, I was no longer motivated to continue.) I remember being a GameCube only owner that generation and saying how this was my Halo 2, my Killzone as I believe those were coming out that year. Yeah... that wasn't the case. RE0- The enemy types felt uninspired and certain ones felt like they were in the wrong game with the way they moved when attacking you, the switching between characters felt like a missed opportunity for coop (though I blame the constraints of the GC and this was rectified somewhat in Umbrella Chronicles), and it felt like a disconnect between this and 1, especially because Rebecca seemed so capable in 0, but seemed so weak in 1. RE6- Quick-time event after quick-time event or needing to press certain button prompts at lightning speeds or circling motions on the left stick. 🤢 Stamina meter. 🤢 It seemed like Capcom had a vision, but somewhere along the way, someone(s) wanted to make a blockbuster movie instead of a horror game. I was so hyped too as the trailer looked awesome with it ending with Leon & Chris's standoff.
UrWorst Nightmare I'm there with u on that game. I enjoyed the story even tho I already knew who the Arkham Knight was...but they putting the batmobile on every single mission even all the side stuff naw I'm good
So with you. I was thoroughly on the hype train, having played the living batlights outta the others I decided to hold off getting a PS4 until the Arkham Knight edition was announced. Went to a midnight opening went right back home to play it. Then BAM tank battles r us. Big fat NOPE
I got the Collector’s Edition. Only thing worth it about the game. Though in hindsight I wish I never spent as much on it as I did. I was SO hyped considering I loved all the others. I felt so cheated by Rocksteady. Any new game they plan on releasing would just warrant a disappointed annoyed sigh from me.
I still play it regularly but yeah I agree with you. Too many Riddler trophies in too many pointless and frustrating map positions and those long drawn out, pain on the arse bat-tank fights ruined what should've been the perfect end to the perfect trilogy.
Halo 3: ODST. It was a Christmas present that I was so excited for, cost full price, nothing in the marketing said I’d be able to finish it in about 4 hours
GTA V was a let down to me, such a "meh" story and the focus Rockstar put on the multiplayer instead of the singleplayer made it just a dull yet beautiful game to me
Señor Molina I agree. The three protagonist gimmick just fell flat for me & I hated the extremely comedic slant of the game, which bled into Online’s story as well. After the increased grit & darkness of IV, I was really hoping we could get something even better with V. Biggest mistake I think they made was not having either just Michael as the protagonist or actually having Lamar as the main protagonist. Franklin just felt bland & Trevor was too over the top to take seriously. Felt like they put more effort into the beautiful & living world than the story.
For all the hype it was like being punched in the liver when you can finish the story in the first week. San andreas is still the best gta game. My only hope is that rock* put as much love onto the next gta that they have with rdr2.
Señor Molina GTA V’s story is gr8 sure there were filler missions but you got to choose how you did a heist. How you ended your story. Did you kill Trevor or Michael or did you tie up all 3 characters loose ends. Stretch, Cheng, Steve Haines, Devon
Charlie Alder the games a walk in the park when you beat it the first time. I have beaten it two or three times on 360 5 on Xbox one and once with my shitty graphics laptop (it was a night mare on PC because the textures looked like I was playing on a potato but I was on vacation and didn’t and couldn’t bring my Xbox one
Watch Dogs. A Grand Theft Auto clone centered around hacking a city & altered/virtual realities... Hacker’s Creed, if you will. A game I’d been waiting for since I was 13; using MS-DOS back door keys in order to write hidden messages in my school library’s auotexec.bat. There was so much good stuff here... and I wanted it to be the game that replaced Fallout 2 as my favorite game ever as I played. But at the end of the day, it lacked the polish promised. And while there still IS a lot of fun to be had & really cool things to do, none of it feels as immersive & tied together as well as I sooo wanted it to be. The flat characters & bland set pieces didn’t really help pull me in like I was expecting either. While the sequel helped my feelings a lot on the series, the San Fran hipster with a laptop romp suffered due to my lingering hurt butt, left by its predecessor. As much fun as it is, it’s still not that special sandbox über-hacker sim drama that I need.
I partially agree on LA Noire, for example the affair that puts the main character on the outs, seemed out of nowhere from memory with no indication of a passage of time. It came off as though it was revealed immediately after the previous cutscene/mission and made it seem like some content/scenes had been cut. No hints or set up, just thrown in.
being a dc head for as long as i could remember it would be safe to assume that i would like a game based on a dc comics character. so when my mom set out to get me an n64 for xmas she decided it would be great to get me superman 64. it was my only game for the next 4 months until my birthday. i still get ptsd.
Biggest letdown was the single player campaign for modern warfare 1 or 2. I loved the game, it was so enjoyable. I was invested in the story and characters. Then I beat the game in a single afternoon. I sat through the entire credits thinking I was being trolled. And after that great experience, I was left thinking "is that it?!?"
Dead Island. My friends and I were so pumped for that game. We'd been super into couch co-op with L4D2, and thought Dead Island would be a RPG, open world version of it. We were constantly checking the website for more releases about the characters, etc. But what we got... Was that unholy abomination. It really broke my excitement for game releases. Never paid full price for one since. I wait til they're on sale.
PETE THE B I love the fact you’re hating purely because it’s COD. What a complete pile of shit comment. Yeah we all know it’ll be bad but hold off judgement until then yeah?
PETE THE B No it’s just saying a game is bad before it even comes out is stupid. Yeah maybe it is. Battle Royale game are garbage anyways. But it could change the losing streak.
Charlie Kurlzz but we know its going to be bad. I love Call of Duty but this isn't a CoD game. We just wanted a good Black Ops game. Were you not disappointed at the reveal, i know myself and many others felt gutted and let down and i have no interest in Battle Royale . My comment was meant in jest and i will be the first to apologise to Activision personally if I'm wrong but feel my apology will be safe .
My biggest letdown was easily Skyrim... I had many friends who talked about this game like it was the best game ever, but it took me almost a year before i managed to get my hands on it, because i had almost no money when it came out. When i finally started playing it (as my first ever Elder Scrolls game), i played for a good 10 hours, mixing together story and sidequests to get a feel for the game, and i just said to myself "Is this it? It's fine i guess, but how is this one of the best games ever?" I have a background in RPGs, especially JRPGs, and i love a good story, not least when the main story spills out into the sidequests and the world as a whole. But for some reason, even if i KNOW Skyrim does this, i never felt like i cared about how or why it did it. And it's a bit weird why i felt that way, as i have played both other games in the same genre, and other games published by Bethesda like Fallout 3 and New Vegas (i know, it's actually Obsidian who developed it, but it was Bethesda that published it). My letdown isn't so much because it's a bad game, but because it was hyped to the freaking ends of the universe by my friends, and i could never figure out exactly why i didn't like it! The frustration of not being able to point at anything and go "i hate that!" to explain why i don't play it, is actually worse for me than if the game was just plain bad...
1. Silent Hills aka PT got cancelled
2. Star Wars 1313 got cancelled
3. Metal Gear Survive happened
4. ME Andromeda was a buggy mess

6. No Man's Sky was a half-ass game at its released day (Until No Man's Sky Next just came out that it became good).
7. Konami turned their biggest gaming franchises into Pachinko Machine.
Pretty accurate.
*hug*
We’re going to get though this man- Death Stranding my restore all the faith we’ve all lost.
El1te Noodles Even if Death Stranding is a masterpiece it won't make up for what Silent Hills could have been.
Silent Hill was cancelled, not Silent PT. PT = Playable Teaser, which was available for quite some time.

Biggest let down is when CJ didnt follow the damn train!
I thought you were dead smoke?
Best comment EVER!
Oof
The drive through scene was slightly behind that for best scene.
The real question is how was that #6 with extra dip?
A game called "Brink"
NET Alliance That was my first thought. My gaming group just wrapped up 100s of hours of Bad Company 2 & we were so looking forward to Brink as the next thing. We were done with it in a month.
I have that game on ps3. Only played it a couple times though and never beat it
Yep.

I completely disagree with the opinion on LA Noire. What a fantastic game - very unique
In my opinion only once though, i think that it doesn't have a lot of replayability value although the first playthrough was a-fucking-mazing
@@Brenko23 I've never picked it up a 2nd time myself so I can't argue this point at all
I keep replaying it and loving it. But, the homicide section had so much potencial tho, too much plothole in the homicide :(

My biggest let down is bethesda for teasing fallout 76 then telling me it's multi player only
martin mcallister haha amen to that, and also teasing tes6 but its years off😭
martin mcallister it’s not multiplayer only. Look it up
I was pissed
Corselo G well it is it say you can play with you self but it'll still be multi player think gta lobby like you don't have to play with other people but they will be in the server

Battlefront 2(2017)
The first one aswell
I didn't find the first one to be a letdown, but I hadn't played the original(PS2) until after I had played BF1(2015). I still play the latter.
Really? I found the first one a let down and loved the second one
I like the simplicity of BF1. BF2 felt convoluted to me
After how badly I got burned on the first one, I was a fan of the originals. I stopped caring about the second one. Haven't played it, probably never will.
Half-Life 3 wasn't confirm.
Keep these group style videos coming, they're excellent. Maybe turn them into a weekly topic discussion based show?
The flat story line of Gears of War 3 after the stellar nut punch that was Gears of War 2. Gow 2 was a game where you watched the characters you fell in love with in Gow 1 go through the grinder. Constant retreats, loses, deaths....Gow 3 just couldn't follow up on that

That game bored the hell out of me tbh
Awful game
@Mikerulez101 In my opinion I have to agree with you
It was great, but also disappointing.
I think this could be possibly the best video this channel has ever put out
The lack of content and massive amounts of bugs and imbalance for Battlefront2, the game needed another year for development before release.
TheReal Ghost wut? Nonono you’re thinking of battlefront 2015. 2017 had like no bugs, loads of content and was fun. Issue was ea pumping it with microtransactions, which have since been removed. I can recommend getting it, since it would seem you haven’t got it already.

Biggest letdown in gaming? Easily Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 and HD.
THEY KILLED MY CHILDHOOD.
Don’t worry.. In the future we have Tony hawk’s pro-skater 1 and 2 remastered
The fact that instead of Pokemon Z, we got the lazy nostalgia fest that was ORAS. Nothing done with Zygarde until the next generation and even that was half-assed in terms of how it was introduced in the story.

To me its without a doubt a tie between madden 18 and NBA 2k18 as both were terrible money pits. But besides sports games i would have to say fable 3. Fable 2 was just so much fun and for fable 3 to have no menus and have the king/queen mechanic be utterly pointless was the last straw. The only thing they got right in that game was the chicken suit
Battlefront 2 (the new one). Was so hyped for that game, EA were saying all the right things about more maps, heroes etc. Played the beta, realised how the loot box leveling system worked, cancelled my pre order and was so sad about what they'd done.
Dragon Age 2 is a knife to my heart -_-
BattleModeBainbridge DA: Origins is one of my favorite games of all time, but playing 2 made me sad. Using the same dungeon for multiple quests, the disinteresting story, and that half of the game is you preparing for the deep roads expedition, only to spend 5 minutes there and then come back to the same area you've already explored. That game hurt me bad
Agreed. I almost cried while playing that,because i had played origins more than 15 times with all dlc, but Da 2 was just... oh god. INQUISITION was okay atleast.. now.waiting the fourth
BattleModeBainbridge fuck yes, I was hoping somebody agreed with me, I was 9 when dragon age origins came out, my dad made a custom character that looked just like me and told me he wanted me to play it. Was the first RPG I ever played and I beat it like 7 times, and I was so hyped for the second but i played about 4 hours and never played again.
Dragon age 2 had good things going for it. Biggest example better combat and the story was more intense
Absolute travesty that game was.
Thief (2014)
I grew up playing the original Thief games and those are seriously my favorite games. And when that confusing, frustrating game came out in 2014...
THAT CROWN IS AMAZING JULES!
Matthew Macknis he won it in the PlayStation quiz. You should check that vid out too. Really funny
Mine was Brink. I remember seeing that first trailer for the game and was hyped, loving the gameplay I was seeing and was amazed by the Parkour system in the game. I even convinced my friends to get it on midnight launch. Played it, the game was laggy as fuck, trash game with no campaign. After that I don't think I ever got another bad game again.
Dragon Age 2. Just, everything I cared about from the first one got gutted, in favor of this Single City Story that forced you into playing a Human Character with a backstory that wasn't as good as any of the Backstories you could start Origins with, and this emphasis on using the same three rooms over and over to give you more missions, instead of the really well thought out ones from the original. And I had defended this game, before it came out, for the more action-y feel that it was going with. Completely distracted by that, so I didn't have time to learn about all that other horse shit, until the game was in my hands.
Pretty obvious, but I have to say the ending of ME3. I was so wrung out but also amped up as the final push came about and I was so sure the epic finale was finally upon me.
And then...
I was so...I couldn’t process it at first, pacing the kitchen unable to accept what just happened.
Far cry 5 I was ecstatic waited like 2 years best one is far cry 3 I thought at least if it’s boring the villain is always good but I played it did not like the villain and the gameplay was meh
Damn i loved far cry 5 far cry 4 was the let down for me
They're literally the exact same games with different maps Idk how you can like one but dislike the other lol
Trippy no far cry 5 has a way worse villain loads of empty space the music is bad I just had higher expectations
@@garrypebbles6281 The music is fine dude. It's country and classic rock. What were you expecting? It takes place in Montana.
I know what you mean the music is fine it’s the theme and map music every time you open the map it’s the same repetitive song
Turok Evolution, was told by the developers it was going to be ground breaking.......from the moment I heard the shite sound fx of the footsteps of the main character walking along a boardwalk in the opening scene I knew this was going to be a disappointment.
The Suffering 2 on PS2...I loved the original but the second just seemed rushed and thrown together.
That brutal legend rant is so real it hurts
Mass Effect 3's ending.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares.
I actually blocked that from my memory. Mass effect trilogy is my favorite gaming series by far, I remember all the things it did right buy completely forgot about that trash ending lol thanks
Couldn't agree more. Have never been so dissapointed in a developer ever and was actually somewhat of a turn off for video games for me.
it was a disappointing ending, but the game itself was very fun. After you beam up and meet the kid, shut game off and make own ending. In my mind Shepard final got that threesome with Ash and Liara for saving the galaxy a third time.
Agreed. Up to that point, the game (and series in general) had been a rollercoaster of epic and heartbreaking moments and I was amped up big-time for the final push to the beam...aaaaaaaand then...yeah.
The fear of god in ranch’s face when Jules came in for the hug... LOL
Rach*
I'm sorry for your losses 😪
Def Jam Icon. I loved and still Love Fight For NY and was so sad when Icon came out awful.
As a big Mass Effect fan, ME: Andromeda was the biggest letdown for me. Man that game was trash.
I recall there being a lot skepticism from the gaming industry before release so my expectations were kept in check.
Don’t know if this is my biggest but one that comes to mind is Jet Force Gemini. The game was going so well and was a ton of fun. We couldn’t wait to get to the final boss and then we found out to get to the boss you had to track down and free every single one of those ewok things. Still have never beaten the game because of this.
Big fan of the group stuff you're doing recently, it gives you a bit more freedom to let your personalities come though!
Also, I'm with Rach. Skyward Sword was a bland, uninspiring, churned-out mess of a game with awful controls. I didn't finish it either. I still sigh whenever I think about it!
First off, I "LOVE" Jules tiara lol. But to hear Rach saying the she didn't finish a Zelda game blew my mind, she's said in almost every video I've seen her in how that was one of her favorite series (notes back to her N64 Christmas story).
Overkill’s the walking dead....
Etang Bose Used all their money on the cinematic trailers.
Charlie Kurlzz yep it’s sad that game will be $5 in a year
Jules still rocking that crown 😂
Surprised there aren't more mentions of No man's sky, I loved the first couple of hours but it eventually dawns on you there was nowt to do. No doubt that the latest updates have changed the game now, but I remember going to CEX in Coventry a week after its release and there were literally shelves & shelves of the game for a couple of quid.. 🙁
EAs Battlefront 2
Please make more videos like this!
LA Noire is gold!
I have to agree with Micro Machines World Series. Fortunately I got it through Humble as part of the Codemasters Bundle, and that game influenced me to get the bundle. Unfortunately everything that was said about that game and the previous games were true. While there are seasons to compete in, it becomes a grind, and after a certain point I got sick of it and uninstalled it. I even said I would have been furious if I paid full price for it, so my sympathies to anyone, Rich included, for getting it at full price.
Street Fighter V is my biggest letdown.
Same Here .
100% Fallout 4 for me, I was SO excited, but I absolutely hate almost everything about it
Ac unity it looked so cool
Sebastien Evett-Collins we all thought it looked cool, we we’re all wrong 😢
3 was the worst, what a whiny bitch
The Sims 4. I pre-ordered it because I was that excited for it. I played 1,2 and 3 a lot. I pre-ordered a almost empty game in comparison to TS3. (to be honest, I almost have all the expansion packs and a few stuff packs for TS3, but still)
That rant against LA noir.... omg so good
Yep LA Noire was brilliant
The interrogation system was flawed, but otherwise, it's a great game.
Sometimes the interrogation felt more like a guessing game. Even if their faces gave the impression that they were lying, it wasn't always the case.
Metroid Prime 2, Resident Evil 0, and 6.
MP2- Switching between world's was annoying, forced multiplayer that had limited control movement, taking damage in dark world was annoying (I kept thinking for an advance Chozo suit, it's not handling this environment that well), and limited light/dark ammo. It's the only game in the trilogy that I didn't complete. (Yes, I know you get ammo and armor upgrades as you progress, but by the time you do, I was no longer motivated to continue.) I remember being a GameCube only owner that generation and saying how this was my Halo 2, my Killzone as I believe those were coming out that year. Yeah... that wasn't the case.
RE0- The enemy types felt uninspired and certain ones felt like they were in the wrong game with the way they moved when attacking you, the switching between characters felt like a missed opportunity for coop (though I blame the constraints of the GC and this was rectified somewhat in Umbrella Chronicles), and it felt like a disconnect between this and 1, especially because Rebecca seemed so capable in 0, but seemed so weak in 1.
RE6- Quick-time event after quick-time event or needing to press certain button prompts at lightning speeds or circling motions on the left stick. 🤢 Stamina meter. 🤢 It seemed like Capcom had a vision, but somewhere along the way, someone(s) wanted to make a blockbuster movie instead of a horror game. I was so hyped too as the trailer looked awesome with it ending with Leon & Chris's standoff.
Sadly mine was Arkham knight smh
UrWorst Nightmare I'm there with u on that game. I enjoyed the story even tho I already knew who the Arkham Knight was...but they putting the batmobile on every single mission even all the side stuff naw I'm good
So with you. I was thoroughly on the hype train, having played the living batlights outta the others I decided to hold off getting a PS4 until the Arkham Knight edition was announced. Went to a midnight opening went right back home to play it. Then BAM tank battles r us. Big fat NOPE
I got the Collector’s Edition. Only thing worth it about the game. Though in hindsight I wish I never spent as much on it as I did. I was SO hyped considering I loved all the others. I felt so cheated by Rocksteady. Any new game they plan on releasing would just warrant a disappointed annoyed sigh from me.
WHY ARE YOU USING A ARKHAM KNIGHT PROFILE PICTURE.
I still play it regularly but yeah I agree with you. Too many Riddler trophies in too many pointless and frustrating map positions and those long drawn out, pain on the arse bat-tank fights ruined what should've been the perfect end to the perfect trilogy.
Love this video format
Stop hating on Rach!
Ash>Rach
@@spittingfire420 Nah
Halo 3: ODST. It was a Christmas present that I was so excited for, cost full price, nothing in the marketing said I’d be able to finish it in about 4 hours
LA Noire is a great game
Rach makes this whole channel better.
Is it just me, or is Rach actually getting cuter as time passes?
Just you.
さるるんの部屋 its how our brains functions, the more you look at people you don’t exactly hate, the more attractive they seem
That bearded beanie man is quite funny. Subscribed for that
GTA V was a let down to me, such a "meh" story and the focus Rockstar put on the multiplayer instead of the singleplayer made it just a dull yet beautiful game to me
Señor Molina I agree. The three protagonist gimmick just fell flat for me & I hated the extremely comedic slant of the game, which bled into Online’s story as well. After the increased grit & darkness of IV, I was really hoping we could get something even better with V. Biggest mistake I think they made was not having either just Michael as the protagonist or actually having Lamar as the main protagonist. Franklin just felt bland & Trevor was too over the top to take seriously. Felt like they put more effort into the beautiful & living world than the story.
Just penned the same thing about GTA V. So many things they changed that I noped on. I could go on for hours.
For all the hype it was like being punched in the liver when you can finish the story in the first week. San andreas is still the best gta game. My only hope is that rock* put as much love onto the next gta that they have with rdr2.
Señor Molina GTA V’s story is gr8 sure there were filler missions but you got to choose how you did a heist. How you ended your story. Did you kill Trevor or Michael or did you tie up all 3 characters loose ends. Stretch, Cheng, Steve Haines, Devon
Charlie Alder the games a walk in the park when you beat it the first time. I have beaten it two or three times on 360 5 on Xbox one and once with my shitty graphics laptop (it was a night mare on PC because the textures looked like I was playing on a potato but I was on vacation and didn’t and couldn’t bring my Xbox one
Watch Dogs.
A Grand Theft Auto clone centered around hacking a city & altered/virtual realities... Hacker’s Creed, if you will. A game I’d been waiting for since I was 13; using MS-DOS back door keys in order to write hidden messages in my school library’s auotexec.bat. There was so much good stuff here... and I wanted it to be the game that replaced Fallout 2 as my favorite game ever as I played. But at the end of the day, it lacked the polish promised. And while there still IS a lot of fun to be had & really cool things to do, none of it feels as immersive & tied together as well as I sooo wanted it to be. The flat characters & bland set pieces didn’t really help pull me in like I was expecting either.
While the sequel helped my feelings a lot on the series, the San Fran hipster with a laptop romp suffered due to my lingering hurt butt, left by its predecessor. As much fun as it is, it’s still not that special sandbox über-hacker sim drama that I need.
Mass Effect 3 ending.
I partially agree on LA Noire, for example the affair that puts the main character on the outs, seemed out of nowhere from memory with no indication of a passage of time. It came off as though it was revealed immediately after the previous cutscene/mission and made it seem like some content/scenes had been cut. No hints or set up, just thrown in.
"Biggest let down was The legend of Zelda CD's." Huh? CD's?..... Oh! Series! Lol
being a dc head for as long as i could remember it would be safe to assume that i would like a game based on a dc comics character. so when my mom set out to get me an n64 for xmas she decided it would be great to get me superman 64. it was my only game for the next 4 months until my birthday. i still get ptsd.
Halo 5, rip my 200 odd quid
I like this style of videos, keep it up👍
Mass effect 3 ending. So sad
I love this channel so much
I love Skyward Sword
Biggest letdown was the single player campaign for modern warfare 1 or 2. I loved the game, it was so enjoyable. I was invested in the story and characters. Then I beat the game in a single afternoon. I sat through the entire credits thinking I was being trolled. And after that great experience, I was left thinking "is that it?!?"
My biggest let down...Mass Effect 3’s ending.
Yes, Bioware....I’m still bitter.
Dead Island. My friends and I were so pumped for that game. We'd been super into couch co-op with L4D2, and thought Dead Island would be a RPG, open world version of it. We were constantly checking the website for more releases about the characters, etc. But what we got... Was that unholy abomination. It really broke my excitement for game releases. Never paid full price for one since. I wait til they're on sale.
My top ten let downs will probably be..
10 BLACK OPS 4
9 BLACK OPS 4
8 BLACK OPS 4
7 you get the picture
PETE THE B I love the fact you’re hating purely because it’s COD. What a complete pile of shit comment. Yeah we all know it’ll be bad but hold off judgement until then yeah?
Charlie Kurlzz so you say I'm wrong to judge , then say it's going to be bad anyway. Hahahaha I'd love to hear more arguments you have with yourself
PETE THE B No it’s just saying a game is bad before it even comes out is stupid. Yeah maybe it is. Battle Royale game are garbage anyways. But it could change the losing streak.
Charlie Kurlzz but we know its going to be bad. I love Call of Duty but this isn't a CoD game. We just wanted a good Black Ops game. Were you not disappointed at the reveal, i know myself and many others felt gutted and let down and i have no interest in Battle Royale . My comment was meant in jest and i will be the first to apologise to Activision personally if I'm wrong but feel my apology will be safe .
Charlie Kurlzz If you think it’s going to be bad, then my friend that’s not a let down. That’s just meeting your expectations.
The biggest letdown for me is getting hyped for beating a final boss, only to beat said boss in five minutes, looking at you Borderlands 1.
Scott had to make it personal... 😡
My biggest letdown was easily Skyrim...
I had many friends who talked about this game like it was the best game ever, but it took me almost a year before i managed to get my hands on it, because i had almost no money when it came out. When i finally started playing it (as my first ever Elder Scrolls game), i played for a good 10 hours, mixing together story and sidequests to get a feel for the game, and i just said to myself "Is this it? It's fine i guess, but how is this one of the best games ever?"
I have a background in RPGs, especially JRPGs, and i love a good story, not least when the main story spills out into the sidequests and the world as a whole. But for some reason, even if i KNOW Skyrim does this, i never felt like i cared about how or why it did it. And it's a bit weird why i felt that way, as i have played both other games in the same genre, and other games published by Bethesda like Fallout 3 and New Vegas (i know, it's actually Obsidian who developed it, but it was Bethesda that published it).
My letdown isn't so much because it's a bad game, but because it was hyped to the freaking ends of the universe by my friends, and i could never figure out exactly why i didn't like it! The frustration of not being able to point at anything and go "i hate that!" to explain why i don't play it, is actually worse for me than if the game was just plain bad...
Destiny, ME: Andromeda.
Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Got so hyped that you could fight with Sub Zero against Superman etc. Biggest letdown ever
