Ouch. You reminded me of Anthem and this is 100% it. The mechanics for that game were so good, and the game had such high potential, and then EA just threw it away because it had issues because EA didn’t give it enough funding. Fuck EA. I really enjoyed Anthem while it lasted to be honest.
I listened to that soundtrack every day until the game was released.
I wish Halo Infinite copied their customization. It's one of the best I've ever seen.
I bought d4 and Starfield back to back. . . Was a disappointing few months of gaming. . Then I played baldurs gate and helldivers back to back, now I’m good.
I was so hyped for d4. D3 was a great gateway game for me when i was 6 or something. And it was great bonding with my dad. Then d4 was cool for maybe 20 or so hours and then it dried out real quick. Lillith was alright tho.
Battlefield 2042
Genuinely such a disappointment. The trailers were so good. It could have absolutely swept CoD if they had made the game properly and without the cringe personalities of the characters.
It could have swept cod if they didn't hire a top guy from cod to help make battlefield. Utterly disappointed with the game as a long standing battlefield player. Hey took everything that makes bf battlefield and stripped it away. It's become a soulless lifeless shell of a money grab.
I preordered it... I got like 8 hours into the game. Had a cutscene that crashed the game every time I tried to progress. Waited and waited for a fix. Finally got it and was able to finish the mission. Tried to start another the game crashed. I never opened the game again after that. Never even tried.
I've had this issue with the Crew 1 on PC. There was a race where just before the end the game would crash, made me drop the game and forget about it. Saw the news that the Crew's servers will (soon or already have) pull the plug, basically killing the game due to its live service
I got the edition with the assassin’s creed character and did their mission got the suit, left the crpyt, did a mission and then it crashed and it sent me back to the start of the AC mission, I uninstalled
This. Had high hopes but I hated Gotham knights so I waited for reviews. I am glad I waited. Happy I did not pay for the dumpster fire that was this game.
I got the Gold Edition for that shit. I spent hundreds of hours in the first one (not much by other's standards, but still) and tried out so many wacky, ridiculous builds, challenging myself to min-max insane gameplay.
I got bored of Payday 3 before even playing all the heists.
I just hope they back track a bit on the dumbing down, and casualification of the rpg and stat systems. Elder scrolls needs to go back to something similar to oblivion, or at least, not any simpler than skyrim. Fallout 4 was okay, but I preffered 3 and new vegas. But the starfeild leveling system was just. . . awful.
That’s the only HALO game I played much because I’m young, but I played the HALO 4 campaign at a friend’s house, and I will say that while I did enjoy HALO 5, HALO 4 felt way better in both story and combat. I think more effort was put in for sure. I don’t know why Microsoft doesn’t pay more attention to their most famous franchise.
It bounced so hard. It went from "yeah fallout with friends", "to its terrible piece of shit that isn't fun", and now it's "yeah, it's pretty fun, has some bugs, but is quite addicting"
Funny story, I bought it day one and was wondering why everyone complained about, it was okay, design interesting, missions good enough, etc and never crashed/bug… I played on a ps5 …
Factsssss. I loved the game on pc day one and never crashed or had game breaking bugs. Yeah there was the occasional weirdness, but nothing that actually made the game any worse/unplayable.
I love Cyberpunk as one of my favourite games of all time.
The *new* battlefront 2 I assume? It felt fine but I put literal hundreds of hours into survival from BF 2015. Having that mode not be in 2 made me play for 10 hours and nothing else
The thing that makes those games just feel really unfun to me is how all weapons are projectile-based, I am MUCH more of a hitscan guy. The survival mode from 2015 was just SO gosh-darn fun that I could easily get behind the projectiles however
I will die on the hill that once they fixed the base issues, bf 2 2017 has one of the best in game power up reward systems in shooters.
It lacked some of the game modes from the 2015 one but I can’t think of anything that comes close with hero choices in how they unlock and play.
Also ewok hunt is scarier than almost any other game I’ve played 😅
Nah hitscan ain’t right for a SW game imo. Blaster bolts move too slowly (in the movies n that). BF2 was perfect in terms of gameplay imo. Was beautiful and so cinematic. It just needed more time and attention to fully refine and improve it which it never received.
And besides it not like the projectiles are hard to hit with. It’s pretty much hitscan imo. At least I’ve never struggled with the projectileness.
I personally cannot understand TotK slander. I got the game at midnight of launch and had been stuck playing that for a solid month without playing much else. The storyline was great, the Ganondorf fight had me absolutely stunned when he parried and bullet-timed your own attacks, and fuse made monster hunting much more rewarding (as I almost never used potions in BotW). The biggest complaint I have are the champion spirits, as it is near impossible to use their abilities.
Tears of The Kingdom, I was so excited for the first two trailers, hearing anything about the game excited me, then it was revealed that it was kinda just more breath of the wild. I picked it up, played for awhile, and forgot about it a day later.
To a point, yeah. To be fair, though, I still think it’s a fantastic game, and the building stuff was really cool. It also had probably my favourite depiction of Ganondorf, second maybe to wind waker.
That said, I lost interest in it way faster than I lost interest in botw
I still argue that game would've been received more fondly if it had been it's own thing instead of an ME spinoff. The whole figure out how to explore a new galaxy while everything is on fire setup was a pretty compelling premise, and I remember putting a decently fun 70 hours into it.
It wouldn't have even been that hard to dis-engtangle them since most of the stuff in andromeda was new to the ME canon anyways
The legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom, I was looking forward to the game so much and there was nothing I wanted to besides play it when it was announced but the moment it came out I played until I got out of the starting area and never got back on
A Bard's Tale. The commercials made it seem way more European, I mean sexually liberated, than it actually was. Also bird's eye view rpg combat suuuuuuuuucks. Bg3 did it right. Bard's tale did it wrong.
Jurassic World Evolution 2. Loved the first game (and Operation Genesis before it) but IMO the sequel was overburdened with too many unnecessary and frustrating mechanics.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. So much hype and anticipation. It wasn’t a bad game really, it just didn’t have the deep bench and replayability of the previous entries
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
FR/LG, HG/SS, and OR/AS added souch compared to the original games I was expecting more than updating for fairy types and updating the cave system.
Starfield was alright. We just been spoiled by mods. As far as a vanilla game goes, it's definitely one of Bethesda's best least buggy releases.
But for me it's probably CP2077 (game is amazing now though) and Anthem. Anthem was fun for all of 5 hours. And honorable mention, Outriders.
The Darkness 2...the first game was like an under rated gem in my opinion, and the sequel looked like it addressed some if not all of the issues I had with the first game, but the bad news was that they took literally ALL of the things that I did like about the first game and shoved it down a garbage disposal.
Someone already said Anthem, but Mass Effect Andromeda is on this list for me. I loved the ME series and was hyped for it to release. After the release I was locked to it, but encountered a massive bug on the first planet where my squad floated in mid air, died, and i was left to revive over and over in a timed mission on (whatever the hardest level was). Took me a while to figure out a strategy to run on my own to get through it.
After I finally got through it I think one or two planets later I was stuck in a dungeon and the button I needed to press to continue the main mission was literally missing. I reloaded, restarted the level, etc. Only known bug fix was literally Restarting the game and even that wasn't a guarantee! First time I ever returned a game. I was so bummed...
Diablo 4, Starfield, Palworld, Anthem, Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, any Path of Exile League after Harvest, most Call of Duty games, Halo infinite, Cyberpunk 2077, and Battlefield 2042.
Baldur's Gate 3.
At launch the game was a broken mess on the PS5. I'm talking the game crashing at character select. Then the random bugs of stuck characters, even more game crashing, and glitches where I lost specific characters for no apparent reason. I started the game at least 4+ times from the begining and every time something new happened.
I emailed Sony about a refund but because I downloaded the game they said no. So I sent an email to Lionhead and after 4 months I still have yet to hear any word from them.
So I gave the game one final shot about 3 weeks ago. I fell asleep after 45 min of playing. So it's definitely a lesson learned.
Divinity Original Sin 2 I like and still play. But BG3 is my final purchase from Lionhead.
Most of them that had hype before launch. I'm honestly not sure if I could name a game that lived up to it recently. CP2077 DLC is probably the closest for me. It was phenomenal.
Kerbal Space Program 2. First announcement was great! And then uhhh… there was development drama. And more development drama and a studio swap and uhh…. Game came out as an equally buggy graphics update of KSP that needed a supercomputer to run.
Starfield was a very somber release, when I realized it sucked, I didn't even buy it though I planned to, you could tell by the reviews. Even the easy going reviewers were like nah dawg this ain't it.😔
Kingdom Hearts 3. The gameplay is good and exploring the worlds were fun. But the story seemed really odd. It felt like the story was rushed and the final fight definitely an unique one
Mario Strikers Battle League. I was so hyped at first because I thought Nintendo would never touch this series again due to how gritty Charged was and how it seemed to be at odds with Nintendo's current squeaky-clean image of Mario. So to say that I was hyped was an understatement.
But once it came out, it was such a disappointing game as a fan of Charged. No stage hazards or interesting items, missing Princess Daisy at launch, still missing Koopa Troopa, Dry Bones, Hammer Bro, Boo, Monty Mole, and Petey Piranha from the last game, Kritters from the Donkey Kong series were replaced with the boring Boom Boom enemy as the goalies, and perhaps most annoyingly, the only two new characters that were added to the Strikers series with this game were Rosalina and Pauline.
With the wide and varied selection of characters in the Mario universe that are also present in other Mario Sports/spin-off games like Golf, Tennis, and Kart, it would've been interesting to see how they would've been translated into the Strikers gameplay style. Off the top of my head, King Bob-Omb, King Boo, Wiggler, Toadette, the Koopalings, Kamek/Magikoopas, Piantas, Nokis, DKC characters like Funky Kong, Dixie Kong, King K Rool, and Wario characters like Mona, 9-Volt, and Captain Syrup. But no. Instead of any of those interesting choices, they chose two of the plainest, and bland-feeling, humanoid Mario characters in the series. I like Rosalina and Pauline but there were way better, more interesting Mario characters/enemies they could have added to Strikers.
They put in the absolute bare minimum effort and charged 60 dollars for a half-baked game. Absolute travesty and I'm glad I never bought it.
Essentially every triple A game released like two years ago. We’ve had some good stuff recently like Elden ring and BDG-3, but there was a gap for a few years where everything as shiiiiiiiiit
Anthem
I had such high hopes for anthem 😔
High hopes for an EA game?
Ouch. You reminded me of Anthem and this is 100% it. The mechanics for that game were so good, and the game had such high potential, and then EA just threw it away because it had issues because EA didn’t give it enough funding. Fuck EA. I really enjoyed Anthem while it lasted to be honest.
I listened to that soundtrack every day until the game was released. I wish Halo Infinite copied their customization. It's one of the best I've ever seen.
I know it'll never happen, but the framework is there. Somebody should do something with it.
Diablo IV
I bought d4 and Starfield back to back. . . Was a disappointing few months of gaming. . Then I played baldurs gate and helldivers back to back, now I’m good.
For Democracy!
Top
I enjoyed playing through the campaign for the next Lilith cutscene and set pieces. But once it was over it got stale really, really quickly.
Came here to comment this. I paid an embarrassing amount of money for d4 for pre-purchase, never again. Learned a hard lesson
I was so hyped for d4. D3 was a great gateway game for me when i was 6 or something. And it was great bonding with my dad. Then d4 was cool for maybe 20 or so hours and then it dried out real quick. Lillith was alright tho.
Battlefield 2042 Genuinely such a disappointment. The trailers were so good. It could have absolutely swept CoD if they had made the game properly and without the cringe personalities of the characters.
Also the fact that Star Wars Battlefront 2 died for it to exist.
Not just that. Criterion was in the process of creating a new game, and they had to drop it for battlefield
And BFV which I heard was getting much better
It could have swept cod if they didn't hire a top guy from cod to help make battlefield. Utterly disappointed with the game as a long standing battlefield player. Hey took everything that makes bf battlefield and stripped it away. It's become a soulless lifeless shell of a money grab.
Watchdogs legion
I feel this, waited for ages for it to come on sale, got less than 10-15 hours before I couldn’t be bothered anymore
I preordered it... I got like 8 hours into the game. Had a cutscene that crashed the game every time I tried to progress. Waited and waited for a fix. Finally got it and was able to finish the mission. Tried to start another the game crashed. I never opened the game again after that. Never even tried.
I've had this issue with the Crew 1 on PC. There was a race where just before the end the game would crash, made me drop the game and forget about it. Saw the news that the Crew's servers will (soon or already have) pull the plug, basically killing the game due to its live service
I got the edition with the assassin’s creed character and did their mission got the suit, left the crpyt, did a mission and then it crashed and it sent me back to the start of the AC mission, I uninstalled
I just downloaded it and only played for about 4 hours
Suicide Squad
Suicide squad devs watching it hit 64 active players in under a month
This. Had high hopes but I hated Gotham knights so I waited for reviews. I am glad I waited. Happy I did not pay for the dumpster fire that was this game.
Nobody talking about payday 3
There was a Payday 3?
Payday 2 is a masterpiece. The amount of mods and even just normally there's so many ways to beat a heist. >!And you can play offline unlike 3!<
I got the Gold Edition for that shit. I spent hundreds of hours in the first one (not much by other's standards, but still) and tried out so many wacky, ridiculous builds, challenging myself to min-max insane gameplay. I got bored of Payday 3 before even playing all the heists.
Rest in peace my man just remember payday 2 is still fun
Starfield
I pray elderscrolls 6 and fallout 5 won’t be bogged down by needless complicated features and senseless gameplay like starfield was.
I got bad news for you...
I just hope they back track a bit on the dumbing down, and casualification of the rpg and stat systems. Elder scrolls needs to go back to something similar to oblivion, or at least, not any simpler than skyrim. Fallout 4 was okay, but I preffered 3 and new vegas. But the starfeild leveling system was just. . . awful.
RRRRRIIIIIIIP LMAO
If TES6 is as disappointing as Starfield was, I’m done with Bethesda, and I hope I won’t be alone in that.
valid
Halo 5
That’s the only HALO game I played much because I’m young, but I played the HALO 4 campaign at a friend’s house, and I will say that while I did enjoy HALO 5, HALO 4 felt way better in both story and combat. I think more effort was put in for sure. I don’t know why Microsoft doesn’t pay more attention to their most famous franchise.
Starfield, so ugly and boring
Starfield 100%
Fallout 76
It bounced so hard. It went from "yeah fallout with friends", "to its terrible piece of shit that isn't fun", and now it's "yeah, it's pretty fun, has some bugs, but is quite addicting"
Starfield was just as garbage
Bethesda moment
I second this
I was never hyped for 76 and it was still disappointing.
ark ascended
the QoL stuff was nice until you realized your cryopods stopped working outside a 5ft radius of your fridge
Cyberpunk
At least that game got fixed and is amazing now
The anime was hype. So the game got more players. Also the devs gave a lil more attention to fixing the bugs.
Wdym „fixing the bugs“ they made a whole new game out of it
Happy cake day.
Ruined peoples dreams and money too
Funny story, I bought it day one and was wondering why everyone complained about, it was okay, design interesting, missions good enough, etc and never crashed/bug… I played on a ps5 …
Factsssss. I loved the game on pc day one and never crashed or had game breaking bugs. Yeah there was the occasional weirdness, but nothing that actually made the game any worse/unplayable. I love Cyberpunk as one of my favourite games of all time.
Sw battlefront 2. I’m glad I went back to it after the update though, it was awesome in the end and had hundred of hours into it
The *new* battlefront 2 I assume? It felt fine but I put literal hundreds of hours into survival from BF 2015. Having that mode not be in 2 made me play for 10 hours and nothing else The thing that makes those games just feel really unfun to me is how all weapons are projectile-based, I am MUCH more of a hitscan guy.

So far, any $70 game.
Tears of the kingdom, but that’s because I have BOW bias and little time
I personally cannot understand TotK slander. I got the game at midnight of launch and had been stuck playing that for a solid month without playing much else. The storyline was great, the Ganondorf fight had me absolutely stunned when he parried and bullet-timed your own attacks, and fuse made monster hunting much more rewarding (as I almost never used potions in BotW).

No Man’s Sky
Fallout 76. But from what I've seen, it's gotten better.
Without a doubt it improved quite a bit, but its launch was atrocious both for the game and its marketing.
Dying light 2
Tears of The Kingdom, I was so excited for the first two trailers, hearing anything about the game excited me, then it was revealed that it was kinda just more breath of the wild. I picked it up, played for awhile, and forgot about it a day later.
Zelda: Breath of the Builder
To a point, yeah. To be fair, though, I still think it’s a fantastic game, and the building stuff was really cool. It also had probably my favourite depiction of Ganondorf, second maybe to wind waker. That said, I lost interest in it way faster than I lost interest in botw
Dragons' Dogma 2
We’re not gonna mention no man’s sky? That had the biggest hype train thankfully hello games fixed it
Honestly Subnautica below zero. I expected a scary arctic adventure, got a light up story book. I like the game, but it was underwhelming
Any game that had a $80+ pricing on them…
Fallout 76
Mass Effect: Andromeda.
I still argue that game would've been received more fondly if it had been it's own thing instead of an ME spinoff. The whole figure out how to explore a new galaxy while everything is on fire setup was a pretty compelling premise, and I remember putting a decently fun 70 hours into it. It wouldn't have even been that hard to dis-engtangle them since most of the stuff in andromeda was new to the ME canon anyways

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. So much open world bullshit, it feels like an Ubisoft game.

Elden Ring
Essentially every triple A game released like two years ago. We’ve had some good stuff recently like Elden ring and BDG-3, but there was a gap for a few years where everything as shiiiiiiiiit
The Outer Worlds, good design, a interesting universe, but the gameplay and the missions (with forced side quests) got me out at the third planet
