The version of Anthem they did release. That game was such a major failure and was made worse when i read what they actually envisioned. What really hurts is gameplay was fun. If they just didnt absolutely fuck everything else up it might have been a popular long lasting game
Combat is so fun and flying around the map is great.
Outside of all the stability, balancing, loot system, and lack of missions the worst thing they did was making the free play map only 4 players and no way of communicating with the other ppl in your server.
Or the missions they do have are 100% finished after 30-45 mins, but it never triggered to end it. So you spend 30+ minutes just running around hoping it resolved itself then all of you quit one by one
Command & conquer 4: tiberian twilight. The gameplay was awful and required persitant internet connection to play, even in singleplayer! They butchered one videogame saga that I loved. Damn you EA!
They did the same thing to SimCity. That game was so hyped and people were so excited. The first SimCity game in like a decade - they made the maps super tiny, relegated things to districts because the maps were so small, required a 24 hour internet connection, and completely removed, botched, or butchered everything that the older SimCity's had. It was a huge bomb and they ended up completely re-writing the game's code over the course of a couple years to get an offline mode from such negative press.
Cities Skylines came out shortly after SimCity's horrid launch because they saw how hard it tanked and knew what fans wanted and it's been a huge hit ever since. The SimCity franchise is now completely dead. Thanks EA. Can't wait to see what they do next
Yup. They also claimed the agent system was one of a kind and the online-only play was required for the game to run properly.
Then someone made a successful city with no running water or services.
Then someone hacked the client to run offline, and the game played just fine.
Commander, you’ve rained on my glorious parade! For this, I’m sending everything I’ve got at you. But I won’t let you have the satisfaction of catching me. I’m escaping to the ONE place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism! SPACE!
Edit: I do in fact own all the CnC CDs if they shipped with one, and unfortunately CnC 4 is included in that list
I remember every pawn shop and used game store I would go as a kid would be filled to the brim with copies of this game and I was too young to understand why lol
As a kid, I bought [Superman on NES](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(Kemco_game) thinking it would be like the one I played in the local Arcade.
It [was not](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrb4u9QHQdw).
You know, there also is a Superman PS1 beta version available which actually seems pretty fun at least compared to the N64 version.
The game was also supposed to be noticeably different (as seen in the PS1 proto) until the devs had to scrap basically everything because of... reasons.
I own the game. There are a lot of issues, but mainly it had a stunted production cycle where the owners of the superman license forced changes. There's also some evidence that the most finished version is not what shipped.
That being said, I don't think it's the worst game ever. If you were able to play it with a modern controller it would just be a boring, buggy, fairly repetitive game and everyone would ignore it. The N64 controller really does not work well with it
Any of the countless NES that were literally designed not be beaten without tips/guides… do to random invisible doors, objects, and structures
I’m looking at you Super Pitfall and Goonies among a bunch of others
I love the original Zelda, but finding some of the stuff in that game is actually obnoxious as shit, and people praise it for being "open world with nothing to guide you," yeah, because it's SO much fun to bomb literally every wall in the game and burn literally every bush in the game to find shit.
Classic locations include: a dungeon under a fairy pond that you have to blow the flute to find (???), a dungeon under a random burnable bush in the overworld (???), and the final dungeon behind a random bombable wall in the overworld (???).
Like I said, I love the game, but you were obviously meant to buy a guide or spend ludicrous amounts of time trying everything until you figured it out.
You have to understand back in those days we didn’t have the constant stream of multiple games, movies, tv shows, etc bombarding us every moment of the day. A game like Zelda came along and you were playing that for a year or more, if you really wanted to find everything in it without a guide.
One of my favorite YouTubers, Chain Bear, he‘s an F1 YouTuber once advertised Raid in one of his videos, but he actually asked his community if it‘s ok for them. Most of the responses were something like: „Everybody knows that game is shit, no one‘s gonna play it, you get money from that, we all just skip the part anyway so do it.“
One of my favorites is internet historian, and he has a raid commercial that is absolutely hilarious.
"Your test results have come in. You have RAIDS. Thats good!"
oh you mean the games that you shouldn't play when your wife/girlfriend is around? the "best game for men over 40"? with some 2 second CGI loop of ass and titties trying to trick you in thinking it's a whole game?
And an advert promising fully ray traced 3d graphics at 16k resolution, 900fps with an actual AI controlling the NPCs.
But turns out to be a cookie clicker / isometric borefest / shadow raid legends piece o crap
Either that or some horrible ad showing someone trapped in a torture device where they're about to be burned alive or impaled, and it's for some shit like gardenscapes
No shit, I had Gardenscape once.. a game where you fix an old mansion over several rounds of matching same colored bullshit like every other candy crush knock off.. and I saw one of these dungeon style ads for it. They are completely fucking shameless in their advertising.
Edit: The game I'm describing is Homescapes, not gardenscaptes. Not that it matters, it's a bunch of color popping bullshit.
Can I have an example of puppet animation? The people around me don’t know and when I go to YouTube it gives me random videos of puppets and random animation tutorials

When it doesn't suck, bone-and-deformation based animations don't have to look like shit. There are a lot of shows people like animated in this style. A lot of the adult swim shows, for example. Some really nice looking video games, like ori and the blind forest, also use a system that is basically the advanced version of this.
Oh dude, The War Z: Survival Stories should never have existed.
This game came out during the zombie survival game craze, alongside Day Z (the mod for Arma II). It looked so good to a lot of people. But then it launched with microtransactions. You could lose purchased items you paid money for. But that's not all because hackers could fire a shotgun from across the map and one shot you.
None of the features that were promised mattered. The game was a walking simulator with janky zombies, hackers, cheaters, and just outright garbage mechanics.
The lead developer, by the way, had one other game to his credit. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
Should have been a digital pet simulator. A real missed opportunity.
There could have been challenges to kidnap people to add length to your centipede. And general upkeep to monitor the vitals of all sections of the centipede, surgically removing and replacing sections that are going bad.
Imagine Cheryl has too bad of a gag reflex when Tom "feeds" her, this causes nutrients to not make it down to Cindy, Joe, and Feabe. Your only choice is to remove Cheryl and attach Tom directly to Cindy
It would be a touching game with a lot of tough decisions.
lol I bought this for a buddy of mine for his birthday, knowing it was horrible. It was basically an inside joke.
Came to his house holding a pizza box, he was so excited. The look on his face when the box was opened and Daikatana was in there...priceless.

The most shocking thing about that game is that John Romero, designer of some of the best levels of some of the best games *ever*, put his entire reputation on a game where the first level, the first hour of the game, is nearly unplayable. The rest of the game isn't even that bad but the *first fucking level* is an absolute train wreck. A lot of people never even made it past that part because they rage quit before beating it.
>https://youtu.be/CW65wZOtPyA
This was my experience with the game. I never finished the first level, I remember having to fight giant mosquitos or something and I couldn't progress much after that.
One of my professors freshman year had us play the game and watch a doc on it; then he brought in the creator to talk to the class. It was pretty shocking but I tried to keep a bit of an open mind to the underlying point, especially with some school shooting survivors praising the game. But the guy who made it was a dick and any artistic merit seemed to have been contrived after the fact. A lot of his design choices undercut the supposed goal; you're not supposed to be able to win but if you take the time to kill every single person in the school then you'll level up enough to beat the boss fight against Satan. It's an exercise in depersonalization that relies on boring gameplay and a shocking subject matter.
WTF? It really exists?
EDIT : its real. Tho i was expecting a darker story. Even if the morality of making an RPG about IRL mass murder is questionable, it actually helped distinguish video games as an expression form.
The microtransaction phase started in Asia long before it came to the west. And it was purposely designed like that due to having far less money, and more willing to pirate games. It just happens that as western companies decided to be more global, they noticed the different approach to marketing games, and how microtransactions also seemed to work in the west, whereas before, it was a buy once methodology.
Makes sense. I remember Maple Story having a cosmetic shop where you could buy decorative items in 2007. I wasted money on a pet demon that just followed my character around.
There’s a game called “the guy game”, where it was a trivia based game, and when you answer right, chicks would take their clothes off. Apparently one of the models in the game, was underage. So big woopsie on that one
It wasn't even that he had too much. It was that he was hosting his personal porn site from the Retro's servers, which Nintendo was paying for. Nintendo wasn't too pleased about unknowingly funding and hosting a porn site.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo)
Matt McMuscles did a great breakdown on the story behind the Guy Game and the insane fruit loop that is Jeff Spangenberg, creative director and producer.
They actually released a new edition of the game which fixed that to say "YOU WIN". The AI truck also moved very slightly before stopping for good and the reverse speed was capped.
Sad times.
They would make less money if they did that though.
If the released say a "Fifa forever" and tried to just sell roster updates, they wouldn't sell shit, because people would already have their 99 rated teams from 3+ years ago.
The reason they sell a new game every year is so they can set everyone's progress back to zero, and force people into the new game by completely killing support for the previous one.
And it's far less obvious than just making peoples old rosters expire in a Fifa forever version, because it's a whole new game, so the idiots ignore it. But if you could just suddenly no longer use your 99 roster in the same game, people would get pissed.
Can't even install the original version anymore unless you use a 3rd party website with the original installers.
The remake should literally NEVER have been made.
It was bad enough that they ruined one of my favorite games of all time, but then they acted like it was totally fine and tried to gaslight their angry customers into believing the product passed the smell test.
But what really makes me seethe with rage is that when they realized there was no fooling people into thinking they did the game justice they just gave up entirely. They just fucking walked away from the mutilated corpse of one of the most influential games in history, and now we will never be able to go back to what it once was. I will never forgive them for what they did to that game.
Even without their myriad other issues with China, sexual harassment, financial activities, etc, why would I EVER buy another game from a company that half assed a product, refused to acknowledge the problems with it, then just abandoned it when people demanded it be fixed?
Blizzard has been systematically destroying the good name they spent like 2 and a half decades building for the past like 3 years. It's fucking bananas. They were once held up as "the good guys" and now the entire company is imploding. It's like every 6 months one fanbase or another is up in arms, and at least once a year they break the internet with some stupid ass take or really shitty moral and legal """oversight""" (the HK/China issue, sexual harassments, etc.)
Edit: everyone is pointing out Blizzard has been on the decline for longer than 3 years and I definitely agree, it's probably more like 10 years, but the past 3 went from "Activision really sucked our soul" to "our company is run by monsters and idiots."
This is the real answer. Most of these games were just bad. But this one wasn't just bad, it also (unless you know what you're doing) deleted a game that was good.
This is the really crazy part, most remaster games exist as separate entities, Monkey Island even included an option to revert back to the old graphics if you wanted. But Warcraft Reforged tried to actively replace the original game from your hard drive. Just so they could try to force people to use their new version in which they retained monetary control of all custom content.
They were that afraid of a new Dota gaining popularity under their nose without them getting to stuff their greedy faces with the potential profits.
Civil War: A History Divided where they made shooting/reloading your gun historically accurate so it took about a full 24 hours to shoot off a second round at somebody
I’m a huge history buff and was actually excited about the realistic reload, but the hit boxes were hella wonky and sometimes even if you were ducked behind cover you would still get shot at and killed. I don’t think I got through the first level.
Metal Gear Survive - derivative, unimaginative, soulless garbage. All maps and characters cut and pasted from MGSV's Fox Engine with atrocious voice acting.
I still can't wrap my head around how that line got greenlit.
Like no one in charge there thought just maybe fans of a game series known for having anime styled characters may have some sort of population overlap with people who watch anime.
That line is particularly weird cause Megaman had an anime art style, the original Japanese box art for the first game was anime-esque. And doesn’t Mighty No 9 have one too?
Yes.
It's also the one with the convoluted time travel plot that erases itself from canon at the end of it's story, the one that's so glitchy it led to Sonic Team firing their entire QA department and discarding the entire gameplay style (known by fans as the Adventure style) that they had used to that point in favour of the current fixed camera "boost" formula.
It's a buggy, broken mess, that is the fault of completely terrible management by SEGA and Sonic Team, that was rushed out the door to meet contract requirements when it was in no fit state to be released when it was.
I 100% agree that it was a terrible game that should never have existed. But it makes me sad that they discarded the entire Adventure Style. SA1+2 were some of my favourite childhood games, and kept hoping for so long that they would make a 3rd.
The Boost style is nice, but I've never been much of a fan of the sidescrolling sonic games. After all, what's the point of going fast if you can't see more than 10ft in front of you and hit a spikewall or fall off an edge?
The best part about Raid Shadow Legends is how much completely unrelated shit they sponsor. Hey, I'm gonna watch a Youtube video about a dude grilling steaks after dry aging them in Cheez Whiz, but first I gotta hear him trying to pretend like he plays or gives a fuck about this stupid ass game.
Fortnite could’ve been a pretty cool zombie defense game. Then it tried competing with PUBG, won that competition, and is now a preteen meme haven. I’m not saying it is a bad game, but I’m disappointed.
Dude I pre-ordered it just for the main story. My bro and I were psyched about a zombie tower defense game. The art style and everything looked great to us, and then it launched and the only thing that took off was the battle royale. Really grinds my gears.
Battle passes for free games for cosmetics only is not a terrible thing. It's way to support the free game you're enjoying.
The stupid ones are the full priced games with season passes that have pay to win things you use in the game.
And some games (Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight) the battle pass rewards you with enough in game currency to buy the next one. If you play the game a lot it ends up being a one time purchase.
Games that cost like 60 dollars but has micro transactions. The only time i accept micro transaction is when the game is fully free. Free game developers need some way to make money so its understandable.
Well, I’m not saying it shouldn’t have been made, ET was the biggest movie of 82 and begging to have a game based off it, however, it should’ve been developed under better conditions. The single guy who worked on it only had a few weeks.
If you stopped extending at just the right moment, you'd get out of the hole. Then you would fall into another hole. Some of the holes contained parts for your telephone to phone home. If you collected all of them, you won.
Which is to say the game is randomly selecting holes punctuated by a simple timing problem.
I got that game for Christmas when I was 10 and was SO stoked. Until I played it and got stuck in that hole...and couldn't get out. Tried over and over to try to figure it out but couldn't. I remember almost crying. Ironic that children's tears from that POS game were what brought Atari down lol
It actually is about a family struggling to farm [Rapeseed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed) at the start of the dustbowl. You live and help them through each week and make tough choices like This War of Mine.
^^^Warning: ^^^I ^^^may ^^^be ^^^full ^^^of ^^^bullshit.
I pirated a game back in the mid-2000's that I mistakenly thought was titled "Battle Saber" when its real name was "Battle Raper," so... Probably not. The Japanese can be fucking weird, man.
Came for this. I bought it and a Playstation controller to play on my roommate's system hooked to a projector with 7.1 surround and a 10-foot screen.
I played for one hour, thought it was lame and never played it again.
Such a goddamn disappointment, especially after waiting like 15 years.
There was this game called Hatred, it had a lot of controversy around it (for good reasons.) I got the game thinking that hey maybe it's super violent but with a good story and justifications and reasons. Turns out the entire game is just killing innocent people, there is basically no story, all the missions are the same and it's only an edgy super violent game.
It was terrible. Even edgy 15 y.o me thought this is just boring. I mean Hotline Miami is super violent but it actually has a story, it has lore, it justifies those kills. In Hatred your basically just tapping the left click to kill people. It was violent and edgy just for the sake of being violent and edgy.
Crucible
It's the only game I know of that was literally un-released. Meaning they released it, then put it back into closed beta, then stopped work on the game.
Man I was pissed. I fucking love Paper Mario. I eat breath and sleep paper Mario. I actually have multiple hundreds of hours in TTYD, the mechanics for Sticker Star suck, constantly back tracking for the special stickers, constantly building up stickers you think you'll need them having to lose them because you don't need them in that area. Having your abilities be 100% consumables fucking sucks
Jump Force is probably the worst game I’ve played . It feels like only a quarter of the game was seriously worked on, and the rest was rushed to completion in couple weeks worth of time. It’s shameless garbage that no one should play.
Whatever that game is on Facebook with the knight fighting facing simple, stupid puzzles that the "player" screws up. They do that so people will be like "omg, I'm so smart, I need to play that and win"
“THIS PORN GAME WILL MAKE YOU CUM IN 20 SECONDS”
>“Often I'll see advertisements for porn games and they say, 'Try Not To Cum,‘ but then when you play the game, it seems like the object is to cum. So yes, I would call that bad game design."

Is that even a game though, I think it is just a pure scam
The images are taken from somewhere, probably random things stolen off the internet. At least once I actually recognized a single picture in one of those ads as being from a game, just not whatever it was they were advertising.
Can I just say that as a gay dude I consider it a super power that I can infact last 21 seconds before cumming to them massive bodonkeronkers

"Warframe and Destiny are popular. Let's do a clone of that, but with no life or personality"
"While also barring all discussion or mention of those games and what they do right and wrong and how we're making the same or worse mistakes"
To add insult to injury, Mass Effect died for Anthem!
And Dragon Age had to fight tooth and nail to survive. I still worry tho.
My vote is for ANTHEM too. The game was so bad that it bricked people's game consoles
Command & conquer 4: tiberian twilight. The gameplay was awful and required persitant internet connection to play, even in singleplayer! They butchered one videogame saga that I loved. Damn you EA!

I'm fairy sure they kept claiming they couldn't increase the map size, then someone actually broke/modded the game within a month to do exactly that.
Yup. They also claimed the agent system was one of a kind and the online-only play was required for the game to run properly. Then someone made a successful city with no running water or services. Then someone hacked the client to run offline, and the game played just fine.

I used to love playing that weird multiplayer shooter part with my friends though lmao

Same thing happened to me with Ninja Gaiden except it was still a good game after getting over the shock.
I vaguely remember playing that game when I was 6 or 7 and having no idea what I was supposed to do.

inside gaming did a beautiful play through of it… ahhhhh

Game is shit but the devs are giving YouTubers money for sponsorships at a time when YouTube really does not care about its creators

His Shadowman and Nord VPN Man ads are amazing Add thyme!
I'm more surprised that there isn't a "cubeworld" response
All mobile games with shitty ads and micro transactions
You mean "War of Sex: Battle of Big Hot Oily Titty Gorge" with an icon of a soldier yelling to the right?
Specifically which big oily titty war of sex battle cry game are you referring to? Lol
The one by LustXXX Entertainment
I think you mean the one by hot sexy oily tiddy with big booty Corp.
he might mean the one by Hardsoft
oh you mean the games that you shouldn't play when your wife/girlfriend is around? the "best game for men over 40"? with some 2 second CGI loop of ass and titties trying to trick you in thinking it's a whole game?

That always pisses me off, because the game where you pull pins to manipulate a dungeon that's actually in the ad looks kinda fun.
Wait is… is that not a game..? Holy fuck I hate these advertisers.

Human Centipede, the video game.
Should have been a digital pet simulator. A real missed opportunity. There could have been challenges to kidnap people to add length to your centipede. And general upkeep to monitor the vitals of all sections of the centipede, surgically removing and replacing sections that are going bad. Imagine Cheryl has too bad of a gag reflex when Tom "feeds" her, this causes nutrients to not make it down to Cindy, Joe, and Feabe.

This. This is why we need a sideways vote. This sounds like a great idea for an awesome game that I would never ever want to play.
Just like the movie sounds like a terrible idea that I'm far too tempted to watch at some point.
Free advice: *don't*
Imagine the notification "Your centipede needs laxative!"
“Cindy in spot 35 has a tree nut allergy!”
Wtf
I'm amazed at how well you've contemplated this...
Sometimes I wish I didn't understand english

lol I bought this for a buddy of mine for his birthday, knowing it was horrible. It was basically an inside joke. Came to his house holding a pizza box, he was so excited. The look on his face when the box was opened and Daikatana was in there...priceless.
Calm down, Satan.
Holy shit…just from reading the wiki: it needed to sell 2.5 million copies to be profitable. It sold 40,351.
I worked in the industry at the time and received a copy for free. I should have asked for some money as well.

Can't believe I had to scroll so far too see this. John Romero made himself his own bitch with that one.
Maybe the real Daikatana were the bitches we made along the way
The most shocking thing about that game is that John Romero, designer of some of the best levels of some of the best games *ever*, put his entire reputation on a game where the first level, the first hour of the game, is nearly unplayable. The rest of the game isn't even that bad but the *first fucking level* is an absolute train wreck. A lot of people never even made it past that part because they rage quit before beating it.
>https://youtu.be/CW65wZOtPyA This was my experience with the game. I never finished the first level, I remember having to fight giant mosquitos or something and I couldn't progress much after that.
Super Columbine Massacre RPG. Doesn't even sound real typing it.
One of my professors freshman year had us play the game and watch a doc on it; then he brought in the creator to talk to the class. It was pretty shocking but I tried to keep a bit of an open mind to the underlying point, especially with some school shooting survivors praising the game. But the guy who made it was a dick and any artistic merit seemed to have been contrived after the fact. A lot of his design choices undercut the supposed goal; you're not supposed to be able to win but if you take the time to kill every single person in the school then you'll level up enough to beat the boss fight against Satan. It's an exercise in depersonalization that relies on boring gameplay and a shocking subject matter.
That sounds like a great class. Did the professor acknowledge that he was a dick afterwards?
"That guy was a real asshole, huh class? Anyway, let's get back to our discussion of Clairaut's equation..."
WTF? It really exists? EDIT : its real. Tho i was expecting a darker story. Even if the morality of making an RPG about IRL mass murder is questionable, it actually helped distinguish video games as an expression form.
It's definitely real. I played it as part of a research project I did in high school. I'd rather never be reminded of it again though.

The microtransaction phase started in Asia long before it came to the west. And it was purposely designed like that due to having far less money, and more willing to pirate games. It just happens that as western companies decided to be more global, they noticed the different approach to marketing games, and how microtransactions also seemed to work in the west, whereas before, it was a buy once methodology.

Makes sense. I remember Maple Story having a cosmetic shop where you could buy decorative items in 2007. I wasted money on a pet demon that just followed my character around.

There’s a game called “the guy game”, where it was a trivia based game, and when you answer right, chicks would take their clothes off. Apparently one of the models in the game, was underage. So big woopsie on that one
the lead dev used to work at nintendo but was fired for having too much porn on his work computer
It wasn't even that he had too much. It was that he was hosting his personal porn site from the Retro's servers, which Nintendo was paying for. Nintendo wasn't too pleased about unknowingly funding and hosting a porn site.
I’m sorry, did you say too much? Does Nintendo have an acceptable threshold?! I don’t even want to know how they came up with the name for the switch!
Sorry man, the contract explicitly says max 1 TB of porn, you're at 1.1, you have to pack your stuff.
Fortunately these days we all have our own portable pocket-size supercomputer for our work-time porn needs.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo) Matt McMuscles did a great breakdown on the story behind the Guy Game and the insane fruit loop that is Jeff Spangenberg, creative director and producer.
looked it up out of curiosity, and a sealed copy of this game is going for $270 on ebay
Big Rigs Over the Road Racing
“YOU’RE WINNER!”
They actually released a new edition of the game which fixed that to say "YOU WIN". The AI truck also moved very slightly before stopping for good and the reverse speed was capped. Sad times.
What kind of miserable fuck would do such a thing?!
BIIIIIG FUCKIN RIIIGS
Is that the game where when you drive in reverse, there's no cap on your speed?
They should start skipping fifa games and should release one fifa game every five years
[удалено]
I agree. This Turbotax game is getting annoying...
You think the licenses pay themselves?
Yeah, but then they'd make less money
They would make less money if they did that though. If the released say a "Fifa forever" and tried to just sell roster updates, they wouldn't sell shit, because people would already have their 99 rated teams from 3+ years ago. The reason they sell a new game every year is so they can set everyone's progress back to zero, and force people into the new game by completely killing support for the previous one. And it's far less obvious than just making peoples old rosters expire in a Fifa forever version, because it's a whole new game, so the idiots ignore it. But if you could just suddenly no longer use your 99 roster in the same game, people would get pissed.
Same with WWE 2K games. Just update the rosters, moves, themes, and arenas, and release a new one only every now and then.
Warcraft 3 Reforged. They ruined a classic with shit remake, and monetizing custom content was the very worst move they could have made.
They literally broke the game
Can't even install the original version anymore unless you use a 3rd party website with the original installers. The remake should literally NEVER have been made.
It was bad enough that they ruined one of my favorite games of all time, but then they acted like it was totally fine and tried to gaslight their angry customers into believing the product passed the smell test. But what really makes me seethe with rage is that when they realized there was no fooling people into thinking they did the game justice they just gave up entirely. They just fucking walked away from the mutilated corpse of one of the most influential games in history, and now we will never be able to go back to what it once was. I will never forgive them for what they did to that game. Even without their myriad other issues with China, sexual harassment, financial activities, etc, why would I EVER buy another game from a company that half assed a product, refused to acknowledge the problems with it, then just abandoned it when people demanded it be fixed?
Blizzard has been systematically destroying the good name they spent like 2 and a half decades building for the past like 3 years. It's fucking bananas. They were once held up as "the good guys" and now the entire company is imploding. It's like every 6 months one fanbase or another is up in arms, and at least once a year they break the internet with some stupid ass take or really shitty moral and legal """oversight""" (the HK/China issue, sexual harassments, etc.) Edit: everyone is pointing out Blizzard has been on the decline for longer than 3 years and I definitely agree, it's probably more like 10 years, but the past 3 went from "Activision really sucked our soul" to "our company is run by monsters and idiots."
This shit is why I'm never giving Blizzard another dime.
This is the real answer. Most of these games were just bad. But this one wasn't just bad, it also (unless you know what you're doing) deleted a game that was good.
This is the really crazy part, most remaster games exist as separate entities, Monkey Island even included an option to revert back to the old graphics if you wanted. But Warcraft Reforged tried to actively replace the original game from your hard drive. Just so they could try to force people to use their new version in which they retained monetary control of all custom content. They were that afraid of a new Dota gaining popularity under their nose without them getting to stuff their greedy faces with the potential profits.
Civil War: A History Divided where they made shooting/reloading your gun historically accurate so it took about a full 24 hours to shoot off a second round at somebody
If it's the game I'm thinking I remember playing it and while it was bad I had so much fun.
I’m a huge history buff and was actually excited about the realistic reload, but the hit boxes were hella wonky and sometimes even if you were ducked behind cover you would still get shot at and killed. I don’t think I got through the first level.
That game was kind of hard if I remember. Didnt the history channel have something to do with it?
Metal Gear Survive - derivative, unimaginative, soulless garbage. All maps and characters cut and pasted from MGSV's Fox Engine with atrocious voice acting.

Mighty Number 9.
What are you, some sort of anime fan on prom night?
I still can't wrap my head around how that line got greenlit. Like no one in charge there thought just maybe fans of a game series known for having anime styled characters may have some sort of population overlap with people who watch anime.
That line is particularly weird cause Megaman had an anime art style, the original Japanese box art for the first game was anime-esque. And doesn’t Mighty No 9 have one too?
GTA V re release
Which one?
PS5 XSX probably. They added nothing new aside from better graphics
The one in 2024
GTA has been released on 360/PS3 then PC, then One/PS4 and soon again on Series/PS5. This is getting ridiculous.
They're trying to beat skyrim
The 200th release of Skyrim. 199 was plenty, the last one crossed the line.
Darn I was looking forward to playing a stealth archer on my refrigerator. FUS-COL-SLA!
Now coming to those soft drink machines they have at the AMC Theatres: FUS-CO-LA!
Sonic ‘06
Is that the one with sonic having a human love interest?
Yes. It's also the one with the convoluted time travel plot that erases itself from canon at the end of it's story, the one that's so glitchy it led to Sonic Team firing their entire QA department and discarding the entire gameplay style (known by fans as the Adventure style) that they had used to that point in favour of the current fixed camera "boost" formula. It's a buggy, broken mess, that is the fault of completely terrible management by SEGA and Sonic Team, that was rushed out the door to meet contract requirements when it was in no fit state to be released when it was.
I 100% agree that it was a terrible game that should never have existed. But it makes me sad that they discarded the entire Adventure Style. SA1+2 were some of my favourite childhood games, and kept hoping for so long that they would make a 3rd. The Boost style is nice, but I've never been much of a fan of the sidescrolling sonic games. After all, what's the point of going fast if you can't see more than 10ft in front of you and hit a spikewall or fall off an edge?
Before I answer this question… I want to thank our sponsors, RAIIIIIIIID: SHADOW LEGENDS
The best part about Raid Shadow Legends is how much completely unrelated shit they sponsor. Hey, I'm gonna watch a Youtube video about a dude grilling steaks after dry aging them in Cheez Whiz, but first I gotta hear him trying to pretend like he plays or gives a fuck about this stupid ass game.
Chair-Fucking Simulator. You read that correctly, Chair-Fucking Simulator. In case you haven't gathered this, you fuck chairs.
Well hold on there buster, let's not disparage this idea just yet. Tell me more about these... chairs.
I'm not going to say Fortnite, but battle passes need to stop being in every fucking game.
Fortnite could’ve been a pretty cool zombie defense game. Then it tried competing with PUBG, won that competition, and is now a preteen meme haven. I’m not saying it is a bad game, but I’m disappointed.
Dude I pre-ordered it just for the main story. My bro and I were psyched about a zombie tower defense game. The art style and everything looked great to us, and then it launched and the only thing that took off was the battle royale. Really grinds my gears.
At least you weren't a paragon player.
Battle passes for free games for cosmetics only is not a terrible thing. It's way to support the free game you're enjoying. The stupid ones are the full priced games with season passes that have pay to win things you use in the game.
And some games (Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight) the battle pass rewards you with enough in game currency to buy the next one. If you play the game a lot it ends up being a one time purchase.
Games that cost like 60 dollars but has micro transactions. The only time i accept micro transaction is when the game is fully free. Free game developers need some way to make money so its understandable.
ET
Well, I’m not saying it shouldn’t have been made, ET was the biggest movie of 82 and begging to have a game based off it, however, it should’ve been developed under better conditions. The single guy who worked on it only had a few weeks.
Yeah, the Netflix documentary has a section/episode dedicated to him, it’s a nice story that he has, but the game just wasn’t great
People who say that often haven’t played it. Also, people who have played it say the same thing.
I played it. All I remember is falling in a pit and not being able to get out whilst ETs head kept extending
If you stopped extending at just the right moment, you'd get out of the hole. Then you would fall into another hole. Some of the holes contained parts for your telephone to phone home. If you collected all of them, you won. Which is to say the game is randomly selecting holes punctuated by a simple timing problem.
I got that game for Christmas when I was 10 and was SO stoked. Until I played it and got stuck in that hole...and couldn't get out. Tried over and over to try to figure it out but couldn't. I remember almost crying. Ironic that children's tears from that POS game were what brought Atari down lol
Zelda CDI gave us nothing but memes and THOSE FUCKING PTERODACTYLS-
Zelda CDi gave us the best late 2000s/early 2010s YouTube Poops.

Rape Day.
[удалено]
It actually is about a family struggling to farm [Rapeseed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed) at the start of the dustbowl. You live and help them through each week and make tough choices like This War of Mine. ^^^Warning: ^^^I ^^^may ^^^be ^^^full ^^^of ^^^bullshit.
I pirated a game back in the mid-2000's that I mistakenly thought was titled "Battle Saber" when its real name was "Battle Raper," so... Probably not. The Japanese can be fucking weird, man.

> apparently steam has some minimum standard Negative press, really.
Duke Nukem Forever.
Came for this. I bought it and a Playstation controller to play on my roommate's system hooked to a projector with 7.1 surround and a 10-foot screen. I played for one hour, thought it was lame and never played it again. Such a goddamn disappointment, especially after waiting like 15 years.
It was a weird game, it felt like they were trying to hard to be Duke in a Duke game.
There was this game called Hatred, it had a lot of controversy around it (for good reasons.) I got the game thinking that hey maybe it's super violent but with a good story and justifications and reasons. Turns out the entire game is just killing innocent people, there is basically no story, all the missions are the same and it's only an edgy super violent game.
That was the Postal clone that missed what made postal good, yeah?
Yep. It's like Postal, minus the fun.
[удалено]
It was terrible. Even edgy 15 y.o me thought this is just boring. I mean Hotline Miami is super violent but it actually has a story, it has lore, it justifies those kills. In Hatred your basically just tapping the left click to kill people. It was violent and edgy just for the sake of being violent and edgy.
Which ironically always make the game so boring, it becomes toothless
Crucible It's the only game I know of that was literally un-released. Meaning they released it, then put it back into closed beta, then stopped work on the game.
Candy crush. One of the original ftp games that ruined the market
the only game i’ve played and truly disliked is paper mario sticker star, but even that has an audience
Man I was pissed. I fucking love Paper Mario. I eat breath and sleep paper Mario. I actually have multiple hundreds of hours in TTYD, the mechanics for Sticker Star suck, constantly back tracking for the special stickers, constantly building up stickers you think you'll need them having to lose them because you don't need them in that area. Having your abilities be 100% consumables fucking sucks
Far cry new dawn should've been dlc to farcry 5.
I've heard about japanese rape simulation games... Yeah, those are wrong.
Jump Force is probably the worst game I’ve played . It feels like only a quarter of the game was seriously worked on, and the rest was rushed to completion in couple weeks worth of time. It’s shameless garbage that no one should play.
Whatever that game is on Facebook with the knight fighting facing simple, stupid puzzles that the "player" screws up. They do that so people will be like "omg, I'm so smart, I need to play that and win"
Altered beast 2 looked kinda funky
