No Man's Sky had a poor start to be sure, but I think the most impressive thing about it's 7 year journey to new heights is that the devs have not made any premium updates. Every single update has been completely free, and there's no monetisation at all.
Yeah good point but it doesn't excuse the fact that it was released in a state it should never have been released in. How it is now doesn't make up for or change that and the fact people like yourself are so quick to forgive because it's good now is why this shit keeps happening over and over again.
I mean.. Yeah.. it totally does.. Maybe not to you.. But i think the rest of us have come to forgive them, understand their position, and appreciated their behavior afterward.. So yeah.. their behavior afterwards does excuse their launch.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the most dissapointing game of all time, preceded by the worst lies ever told in a marketing campaign... There is no way it wasn't on the list
Never had a problem with the end of Mass Effect 3 as I am a grown up. What was the alternative? One big happy/smiley ending? Coz everyone would have loved that(!)
Yeah, I had zero problems with the ME3 ending also. As with you, I'm an adult (and quite old, even then) and um, why exactly did the internet implode over this one? I still don't get it lol
Ok, so I get your point with Masseffect 3 but the game and multiplayer were actually really good where as Andromeda was just bad from start to finish. I dont see how you could include 3 over that just because of the ending.
I didn't expect Gollum to be good but I didn't think it would be broken. The most interesting thing about Spore is the customization. No Man's Sky AKA One Man's Lie or Big Fat Lie
Looking forward to The Marvels though. I didn't know much about Kamala Khan until the game, but they did such a good job with her in the single player campaign I liked the character. Imani Vellani is also a good Ms. Marvel too.
By far, my personal biggest disappointment was Brink (2011). In early-mid 2011, most gamers were locked into the yearly release of Call of Duty as their go-to multiplayer shooter. Unfortunately, innovation was low at the time. However, COD4, World at War, MW2,and the recently released Black Ops were all king. So when I saw a new shooter emerge with fresh concepts, I got excited. Essentially-for those who don’t remember-they were touting a parkour movement shooter where the devs built a system that allowed smooth, effortless traversal through complex environments. They also had a class system, as well as the option to choose body types, which would change how quick or tanky your character would be. All of this together with a cool trailer (you can look it up), got me hyped up. Game launched and it was not too great. Gameplay was decent, but it ended up getting old quick. Reviews were mid, although they sold quite a few copies. Huge disappointment. I thought it was gonna be the next big thing. Traded it in after only a few hours elapsed play time.
I get why ME3 was on this list for most gamers, but I actually enjoyed the game. I mean it wasn’t the WORST thing I’ve played, though I was downhearted about it’s original ending before the dlc was brought out. What actually surprised me was that CyberPunk 2077 WASN’T on this list. How could that game not have been featured because that was a total **** up!
As always, here are 10 dishonorable mentions: Assassin's Creed: Unity Dino Crisis 3 Driv3r Duke Nukem Forever Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The "Definitive" Edition Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Resident Evil 6 Saints Row (2022) The Getaway Thief (2014)
I booked a week off work for Dino crisis 3 when it came out 🤦🤦🤦. A childhood fascination with dinosaurs, favourite film is Jurassic Park and the first 2 games were classics. I can't even describe how excited I was for the 3rd..........at least I got some housework done I guess 😂.
I laugh a little every time I see someone bring up another Assassin's Creed game. I gave up on that series when I played Brotherhood, because that was already too buggy for me. It's hilarious to think that the series only got worse from there.
Shocked Cyberpunk didn't make the list. Also as a huge Kingdom Hearts fan i was disappointed that the series was coming to Switch through cloud streaming.
Owners of the physical version of Rare Replay are also pissed because Goldeneye wasn't included and that only owners of the digital version could get it.
For me personally the two most disappointing games I ever played were wwf attitude for ps1 which I remember reading about how much new stuff would be added as a sequel to wwf war zone and it turned out to be all style with awful gameplay. Number 2 on the list is Diablo 3. Waited over a decade for a mediocre game that forced me to play online even in single player.
@@aaronatkinson177 No way, the story and setting were pretty unique, the characters were pretty cool, some of the weapons were unlike anything in any other game. It definitely had some things going for it but was way too short.
I'm surprised Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't on this list considering how hyped it was including myself and how disappointing and bugged up a game it was at launch
I don't get the hate for Spore. I F5d the Spore website for 18 months I was so excited for it to release and when it did, I loved it. I still do! I'd love to see a sequel or a remake, because it was incredible.
Red Steel was great too (the gunplay anyway). The controls were epic, being able to use standard Goldeneye controls with a wiimote for fine aim? Incredible stuff.
Taking the same boring topics they always do and rephrasing the title.. i imagine it’s piss boring to make these videos, certainly piss boring to watch rehashed topics.
I’m sorry but that analogy was kinda dumb 🤔 If they aimed for the moon but ended up Pluto it would mean they over delivered Now if you had said they aimed for Pluto and landed on the moon then that would make way more sense given the context of this video
Where the heck was Cyberpunk 2077, Anthem and Saints Row 2022?!? And Mass Effect 3 instead of Mass Effect Andromeda which was buggy and glitchy as hell. Team TripleJump. Did you even knew that they made a new ending to that Mass Effect 3 which you could download for free? I assume that you didn't. You dropped the ball with this list quite nicely. 👍 Wasn't excepting that at all.
I personally don't agree with putting Watch Dogs on the list as aside from not looking as pretty as it's trailers it was still a damn good game, didn't let me down one bit as I didn't see the trailers before playing it, i didn't find hacking boring at all and I never got the hate for Aidan personally(though I do wish Clara had been the protagonist). I think there are far more disappointing games that are more deserving of being on this list like Sword and Shield. Red Steel wasn't that bad either, i'd personally put Calisto Protocol on the list over it instead.
I would put ultimate alliance 3 instead because people actually had hopes for that one and they just turned it into a disgraceful switch exclusive that looks worse than fortnite
Diablo 3 - Always on-line meant you couldn't play the game for the first couple of weeks, real money auction house in a hack-and-slash action role-playing, massively simplified compared to D2, awful story/writing.
Marvel's The Avengers Game was just utter trash 🗑. Lego The Avengers > Marvel's The Avengers I've played Aliens Colonial Marines a couple of years ago, and it was trash and glitchy, but it was trash and glitchy because of a spelling error in the code? That's definitely epic fail level hilarious 😅.
Most disappoining of all time? No man's Sky should not be on this list. It is not disappointing anymore. It gave us all they said, just a bit later but it did it for free. Start was crap but can't put it in this list, not with this videotitle.
@@lordmolag45000 Yeah because a bunch of no-name websites nobody has heard of with no credentials or reputation whatsoever gave it perfect reviews. "XboxAddict", "Generación Xbox", "Somos Xbox", "The Xbox Hub", and "Mond Xbox" are not reliable critics.
Starfox (SNES) all the way for me. I'm using it's US name because that was the version I paid £65 for on import upon it's release. Also this channel seems to like US pronunciations. That game single handedly made me NEVER to solely trust magazine reviews to influence a game purchase ever again. So in actual fact, it has probably saved me money over the years. - 40 mile drive to Leeds from my Rotherham home, to the import game shop. £65 on game. 40 miles back home. Put game in SNES and started playing. - Stared in amazement at a game that resembled a 1980 arcade game. Tried playing it for 30 minutes assuming I was missing something. - Took cartridge out of SNES and boxed it all back up. Drove to town centre game swap place and swapped it for a £10 game. Drove home happy. Don't /cry for me, I was working for the P.O. at the time and I only wasted 1 days wages on the game.
Colonial Marines wasn't that bad, I never saw the trailer so I didn't feel ripped off when playing it and I honestly didn't encounter any glitches in it(I encountered way more glitches in Isolation funnily enough).
@@mooselord2838 the AI did get patched later on on consoles, it's much better now then it was at launch(though even before the patch I didn't encounter the brain-dead AI others did, got lucky I guess).

and has everyone forgotten that Hello Games studio flooded and they lost a ton of the game before launch?

Because the game wasn't as hyped as any of these other games
RIP Volition

I wanted Avengers to be so good so bad, especially because Ms. Marvel is one of my favorite superheroes ever.

Hehheh. Thanks for the laughs 😂🤣
kinda expected cyberpunk 2077 to be on this list tbh 😅
The launch was horrid for sure, but the game itself is great. Now that it actually works.
@@Brianna_QNo, it's still a greatly disappointing product. It's a good game that really should've been a great, even an amazing one.
You’re disappointed by the lack of a disappointment, that’s ironic.
@@zacritner208 Hahahaha what a pathetic excuse for the many shortcomings the game has. Pure NPC patter.
Haze (2008) 100% should of been on this list haha. Massive disappointment after all the hype around it
Since 1980 I’ve been blessed and cursed by video games
Oh yea? Which ones blessed you and which ones cursed you?
Fallout 76 was a much bigger implosion than the first few entries, but I'm sure this list is trying to be a little more unique
the avengers game was amazing i even preorderd onlines abit bad but i really enjoyed this game and marvel guardians

The order had some cool ideas and some really cool guns but you never got to use the best ones for very long. Really wish they'd done more with it.
It’s a game that I think deserves a remake because it was a really interesting concept with very poor execution.
from what little I’ve seen of the game it looks more like an alternate Victorian era than steampunk
The only thing the order had going for it was the graphics and the game being exclusive to Playstation nothing more 😒
@@aaronatkinson177 No way, the story and setting were pretty unique, the characters were pretty cool, some of the weapons were unlike anything in any other game. It definitely had some things going for it but was way too short.

¿Y Duke Nukem Forever?
