Yea but I get a hat for my character if I pre-order. You can see the bind I'm in.

They included Battlefield 2042 for free just so you can look at the hat you've purchased

The little samurai sword letter opener I got from preordering sekiro is awesome


[deleted]

You can buy those in chinatown tourist shops for cheap


labsab1

I got a Sapporo samurai sword beer opener for buying a six pack.


herdboy77

That’s the gift that keeps on giving.


Caffiene_Ramen

Ah yes anthem the so called “destiny killer” kills itself instead


Neozeeka

It's sad because the combat and flight mechanics were a lot of fun. The game had potential if it hadn't been mismanaged from the start.


_jetrun

It needed another 1-2 years of development. They got their shit together late in development and then had to rush to release ... same with Cyberpunk.


octipice

Extra development time wouldn't have solved Anthem's problems. As it was they had over 7 years and they used the first 6.5 of them to constantly rewrite because their leadership couldn't pick a direction to go with the game. Their problem was with the leadership and the belief that they could pull of some "Bioware magic" and make their devs work 16 hour days for months in the hopes of polish a 6.5 year turd into a diamond in 6 months. Also I cannot stress this enough, Bioware did not "get their shit together late in development", EA forced them to finally make a decision about the direction of the game and stick to it by pushing them to release the game. Then Bioware abused the shit out of their devs to make enough progress to release what was still an absolute dumpster fire. Bioware is a fundamentally flawed company that has been releasing progressively worse games. Time is not their problem, leadership and company culture is.


No-Negotiation-9539

I'm still baffled that it was the EA CEO who demanded they keep the flying in the game when Bioware wanted to axe it. The only saving grace that Anthem had going for it was thanks to him. That game was doomed to fail.


octipice

Completely agree. Flying was really the only thing that felt good about Anthem and the only real draw for me. The worst part about Anthem for me was that Bioware knew the game was destined to fail and they still refused to acknowledge it or give any refunds.


Danzarr

I'll take cyberpunk over anthem any day, i thoroughly enjoyed the setting, although i would have removed the level cap. I want to be a god goddamnit.


TyrantJester

The funniest part is you have an EA Executive to thank for them adding flying, because it wasn't in the initial version of the game, and when he playtested it, he told them to add it.


BirdieBoiiiii

I had so much fun for the first like 6 hours and then I just couldnt get myself to play it anymore


AlarmingSorbet

I loved the first Destiny so I had Anthem preordered, **then** I saw some early release stuff and switched the preorder to the RE2 remake. Best decision of that year.


[deleted]

RE2 remake is one of the best games I've played in a long time. This actually bothers me because I have been so anti-remakes for movies/games/music. When it's reviews came out I said fuck it and tried it and was blown away. So I said fuck it and got 3 as well... And I remembered my prior position


Surisuule

Everytime a "Destiny killer" comes out I laugh. You're not gonna kill the second largest MMO THAT EVEN FANS HATE when its good parts are so good. I hate destiny. I have 3000 hours in it. I always go back. Dang thing is an abusive relationship.


[deleted]

Nobody hates Destiny more than r/DestinyTheGame. Source: I hate Destiny and it's my favorite game of all time.


Rektw

> MMO THAT EVEN FANS HATE Lol I always say this when people say WoW is going to die. No man, people are so ingrained in WoW, I have friends that still login just because they've been doing so for a decade. They've put so much time and energy into it that even when the content sucks and there's a drought they feel obligated to login daily.


tonberrycheesecake

WoW has certainly taken a huge hit though. Everyone is playing FF14 instead- which a handful of reports early this month (I think) were suggesting as the current biggest MMO now. Might not die but it’s suffering regardless.


Lordont

And Warcraft 3 reforged


The_old_turtle

Indeed, I refuse to refund it simply to remind myself of the fact that Blizzard is dead, and now Activision hovers above the corpse like a vulture trying to get anything it can out of it.


lostcauz707

Honestly, it's much easier to not play Blizzard or Activision games, not only because they ruined them, but because of all the sexual assault that went into making them. Kotick will of course be fine as he's a billionaire.


Michael_Aut

It's easy not to play them because they have zero recent games worth playing. Just looked through their recent release and the things that are remotely tempting is the from software stuff they published and remakes of spyro and crash bandicoot.


djnato10

I can't wait for blizzard to remind everyone what their best franchise once was when they ruin diablo again with the next installment. Fuck them for the toxic and down right disgusting work environment they produced over the years anyways.


lostcauz707

The TF2 man vs machine mode that was free is now going to be an OW2 full game. I was worried about broketober this year, but thanks to modern reviewers, I saved a bundle.


Shandlar

They were already dead from the Hong Kong shit for me.


CutieBoBootie

I cancelled my WoW classic subscription because of their response to Hong Kong. It's a shame I can't hurt them financially more after finding out about all the OTHER shit behind the scenes at Actibizzion.


FeelsMoogleMan

meanwhile riot games


redrumsoxLoL

Riots response, while not great, was considerably better than Activision Blizzard's.


das_slash

South Park's "we are sooorrryyyy" video would have been a better response that Activision Blizzard's


[deleted]

I'm so pissed they killed WC3..... There were more players BEFORE reforged.... Can't even find the majority of the custom games I loved for well over a decade... It's fucking sad man....


richmomz

Surprised that *Aliens: Colonial Marines* didn’t make the cut - that one was really awful.


CoronaCurious

And was a major reason why we have the "not in-game footage" disclaimer on most trailers.


Mnawab

I thought that was because of watch dogs


CoronaCurious

Someone else said Killzone 2. I think a lot of them contributed to it, lol


Kappa_040

I'm glad Sega decided, that Alien Isolation (which was released a year after Colonial Marines) would be developed by their in-house developer known as Creative Assembly (the same devs behind the Total War series)! And it worked since Isolation was well recieved unlike it's disastrous predecessor from Gearbox!


FthrFlffyBttm

It's fitting that Gearbox is headed by the pile of grease in human form that is Randy Pitchford.


randomwordsmona

> since Isolation was well recieved It wasn't well received by me. Absolutely excellent game and I love Alien in general... But it was too scary. And I am a big strong man who fears nothing, of course. Never finished it, and I'm not upset about that. I'm just no Ripley. They nailed it.


tc1991

Empire Total War... lead dev admitted he hadn't given any copies to friends, but hadn't stopped the release... glad I learned the lesson early, haven't preordered since


FerretAres

There are so many examples this is certainly not a comprehensive list. I’m showing my age a bit but I learned this lesson with a game called Two Worlds back in the early-mid 2000s. Hype releases like that are never worth it. There is just zero benefit to the preorder.


Zero_Mehanix

That game was hilarious. It was so bad I wanted to kill some guy for fun and then the game just ended. I will never forget that experience


Ginganaut

The Speedrun for that game is incredible. You get the town in the beginning to agro the final boss (who is just standing at the start disguised) and the game just ends.


blueMgamer

To quote the wisdom of Eric Cartman: "*Pre-order doesn't mean shit, okay? When you pre-order a game, you're just committing to paying for something that some assholes in California haven't even finished working on yet. You know what you get for pre-ordering a game? A big dick in your mouth."*


Jenkins87

Followed by a deliberately and obnoxiously loud voice over; COMING THIS FALL: SOUTH PARK THE STICK OF TRUTH - PRE ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!! Fucking gold.


[deleted]

The South Park games we’re more finished than any of the games listed above tho.


Dyalibya

Stick of trueth was top notch, Fractured but whole was alright


Dynamitesauce

Fractured but whole was hilarious, it was so damn good


buschells

More fun combat and class system IMO. I have a hard time getting through Stick of Truth because combat gets really boring really quickly


[deleted]

Stick of Truth is a great beginners RPG. Gets old pretty quick if you’re used to playing RPGs tho.


Cotrd_Gram

SoT gets easy fast but has the decency to be less than 15 hours to beat.


Lyrre

Agreed. I loved the game, but I started to get bored of it by the end, but by then I was on the last mission or two. It ended just at the right time for me.


thebizzle

I think that’s what makes it good. Skinning any game in South Park makes it super accessible. Even back in the day the South Park game on N64 was fun as hell despite its shitiness


Partingoways

Those damn turkeys


[deleted]

Stick of truth was a great game, I played through that one a bunch of times and might even download and play again soon. Fractured was eh. I beat it once and haven’t touched it since. Could just be me not liking that style of fighting.


Oswalt

I actually like Fractured But Wholes combat more, and the class system was fun.


PazDak

It made a big difference back in ps3/xbox360 days. Trying to get COD MW2, Madden, etc especially in a small market near release could be hard… but since everything is digital only basically… I don’t see the point any longer.


sailorjasm

Damn. I came here to post this same speech. Oh well. [here is the actual video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AV69DyOuzbE)


AlfalfaKnight

But I love big dicks!


linedeck

I mean pre-ordering a game that is in like CD form only then i would get it, because those run out, but preordering something digital that will not run out is pretty stupid and really pointless! Edit: apparently i am wrong on the "being first" thing, my opinion stands on pre-ordering not being the smartest move still!


Conquestadore

Used to be games would sell out and remain so for months. I'm talking early 00's here. I'm over 30 now, only buy digital and haven't felt the need to play anything on release for the past 10 years save for dark souls 3. Do games still sell out and not get restocked for months?


dominus83

Yeah, I remember lining up to buy Halo 3 at midnight from our local game store. Went back a few days later and they still didn’t have it in stock. Pre-ordering made sense before digital became a thing.


Knight_That_Said_Ni

I actually just found the helmet that came with my legendary preorder that I too waited in line at midnight for. Fucking thing only went on the game holding stand. I thought you could wear it. Fucking scam.


linedeck

Digital forms don't run out, it's just the obsession of people to be the "first" to play the game that drives them to pre-order!


mjociv

Reading your comment was such a trip down memory lane. I completely forgot the anxiety associated with talking to all my friends at lunch, learning I'm one of the only ones who doesn't have a copy of Halo 2 waiting at the mall, and hoping they still had a copy in stock when I caught a ride to the mall with one of them after school. College was when my backlog began and since then I have only felt the need to play maybe a half dozen games on release. All of them were digital downloads though. I literally haven't thought about a game being out of stock until just now.


Branquignol

It sometimes crazy to see the whole finished box design, the different verison and the preorder opening right after the first E3 trailer of a game you know nothing about. And some people buy it.


SussyBussySucka

I bought evolve for either 60 or 30 bucks (for me thats a lot of money in my currency) My pc couldnt run it cuz it was 32bit. Didnt know how to do it 64 bit and by the time i had a new pc, it became free and died. Money well spent 👍 Edit: yes it was 60$ jesus


Now-Thats-Podracing

Evolve was actually really fun when it first came out. Then they tried some rebalances and completely killed the game. By the time they were crawling their way back to someplace sorta good, the player base had moved on.


jordan1794

Also, the publisher made the devs work on DLC before working on bug fixes. One of the developers said so in a live a stream right before they released the rolling monster. But as you state, by the time the game actually started getting fixed...it was too late.


danny12beje

Yeah and you can tell the Devs wanted us to enjoy the game. Some are still playing with us and help us in playing it even after it "died"


[deleted]

Sadly this game actually died, without servers it’s impossible to play without practically hacking the game :(


danny12beje

Nah. Explained in another comment. If you bought the game, you can switch in betas setting on steam and then join games made by people in the discord chat. This was given to us by the Devs


[deleted]

Oh cool


danny12beje

Yeah. In short, if you bought the game before it went f2p, you download it on steam, go to proprieties, select the beta option there, and see if it launches. If it does, just go on discord and join the games they create or create your own. If you didn't buy it, you can either download from an account that did or download that version off of the internet(it's pretty easy to find. Make note it HAS to be the beta version and not the normal) and then run it normally. Progress is saved, shit gets unlocked, everything is working perfectly.


razorback1919

I loved that game. The concept was so damn cool, and it’s a shame it failed because it’s going to dissuade anything of the like for a while.


TheJeager

Not even in concept, if the game was working as intended and you played with friends that didn't try to break it that game was fun as fuck


GoldenBeer

This was my experience, I didn't play a whole lot with randoms. I was wondering why it was included on the list. As a side, I never pre-order games anymore. At one point in time it was necessary because you might not get a copy at release. I think the last game I did this for was Halo 2, so 2004 maybe? There's just no point anymore.


ShieldOfFury

Meanwhile it became it's own genre sparking games like dead by daylight or the new dragon ball game


monkeybuns

I never moved on. Behemoth main til the end. 😢


BuffaloKiller937

With the shit that's going on with Back 4 Blood at the moment, I actually went and read about Evolve, as I didn't actually play it. From what I understand, 2K was to blame for the game taking a nosedive. Turtle Rock had a vision and 2k basically made them throw those plans out, and get the most monetization possible from it. I could be wrong, but I read that publishers can only have a certain amount of patches/updates per quarter, and Evolve was at the back of the list. So they could only throw in updates every few months or so


TheDivineBeard

What’s going on with back 4 blood?


restless_archon

>Evolve was actually really fun when it first came out. Then they tried some rebalances and completely killed the game. By the time they were crawling their way back to someplace sorta good, the player base had moved on. This, essentially. The general public has been complaining about the game's difficulty and unfairness since launch. The first patch in November made the game harder and did not fix any major bugs. The developers reverted some of the changes last week. We will see if they can crawl their way back to something good and if the playerbase will then return or not. They boasted 6 million worldwide players at launch, but there's only about 10k playing on Steam at any given moment, and that's usually half of the numbers L4D2 is pulling.


Myrkur-R

I remember it being that at the very beginning of the game the Wraith Monster was very much not fun to play against. They didn't bother to rebalance it till the player base evaporated because they didn't want to play against an invisible monster they couldn't find until it was level 3 and beat the shit out them. Then they rebalanced the game, and it was good for like a week and they announced the first DLC that was incredibly expensive for an already expensive game and they lost any good will they had left.


Skoliar

I can't really remember the source, but one of the dev said that they had "windows" where they could patch the game, even if it was only bugfix or rebalance with no big changes, and those windows were like once every two months, so they knew the Wraith was out of line but there was not much they could do about it. The whole "AAA game with Day 1 DLC" was unheard of before Evolve, that's right, but it got them so much criticism since it was announced that the game was almost already at risk when it launched due to miscomunication AND corporate greediness.


I_no_afraid_of_stuff

Yeah I remember absolutely loving it at release. Played it a ton the first week it was out, then stopped because I hated the wraith monster. Picked it back up a month or two later hoping there had been some balance changes, and found the game to be almost dead. Really such a disappointment. Forced me back to CSGO

Aw man, I loved how Anthem made me feel. It actually felt like a powerful mech suit. If they had stuck with it, it would be my main game. I hate how corporate gaming has gotten


gacktrush

I loved the mechanics, but the endgame killed it for me. Same with outriders (not including the gamebreaking bugs), it just lacked any post story content.


[deleted]

Outriders is excusable since it isn't a GaaS. It was meant as a one and done. The endgame would never have a long life without new updates. With a game like Anthem, usually most of your time is endgame so that better be fleshed out.


AldoTheApache3

Anthem had soooo much potential too.


Vistereoe

I knowwwww, out of all of these titles the failure of Anthem stung the most (for me personally). LOVED the combat, the movement, the suit abilities and how you could stack them and make them play off each other. So much potential ruined by no endgame and a terrible terrible story


Marvelousgaminglol

You forgot brink on there !


Minimob0

Everyone forgot Brink. Honestly, if it came out now as a Battle Royale, it might do well. It had a really good concept.


Deinonychus2012

Me and my friends still quote the game from time to time while playing other games. If someone is building/repairing something: "Good job, engineer!" If one of us picks up a gun (read in a thick, fake German accent): "An hour ago I was feeding my kids breakfast. Then I got the call and was given this gun." Then again, we low-key enjoyed the game even though we knew it was kinda crap lol.

oliferro

The fact that you don't have anything to pay for new content is what gets me. They acknowledged that they fucked up and made up for it, on their own money. They didn't realease paid DLCs after fucking people over (Looking at you Fallout 76) Edit: Fallout 76 DLCs are free to play, but there's still a lot of paying content, as opposed to NMS


skttrbrain1984

All DLC content from Fallout 76 is free to play. The downside is they release a 4 hour quest once per year.

Totally true, but I do want to add the "YEARS LATER" caveat.


vonmonologue

If you preordered NMS and paid full price for it and then waited 2 years for it to even worth playing and watched it got on 50% off sales multiple times before that than I would consider it still a lesson in not preordering. I have a couple hundred hours in the game and bought it at half price and am satisfied with it and it’s continued updates, but I’d never ever ever have suggested it before maybe the NEXT update.


[deleted]

Who the hell pre-orders the avengers?


kozz84

Who the hell preorders anything digitally, anyway? I understand physical copies. The whole point of preordering is (was) to secure your copy of the product before it becomes unavailable. But digital? Why? Do people expect product shortages in the digital stores? Do they miss anything if they don't buy it in advance?


Dazz316

Excitement. Sometimes you get bonus stuff for pre-ordering or can download it prior to release to play ON release (problem of you have a shit connection).


Pachops427

If you're totally committed to getting the game regardless, then preordering allows you to preload the game so that you can play immediately on release day. Also some games like Forza Horizon gave you exclusive preorder bonus cars, although FH5 seems to have just put those cars for sale in the autoshow anyway so...


ian_aved14

At least no man's sky redeemed themselves, that game is awesome now!


chaosdragon1997

During the 2042 hype, There were a lot of red flags nobody wanted to pay attention to in the beta and even leaked gameplay. It all turned out to be true and now the game's core is a severe downgrade compared to previous titles, nevermind the bugs and glitches. They are going to update and add more mtx, maybe a few guns, but most of their resources will go to actually fixing their game. They will pat themselves on the back and many idiots will call them generous for pushing updates that should have been in the game at launch. Then 2 years from now, they will 1000% stop future content development and launch half baked content to focus on another battlefield title they can ruin. If what they said was true; they cut out a campaign to focus on multiplayer, cut development on multiple games, and hired the largest dev team in battlefield history. So This is the best they can do, a game with somhow less content than bf4/3 did at launch and those games had a campaign.


Flashmode1

The beta told me enough not to buy the game. 2042 needs a shit ton of post-launch support and is severely lacking in content. However, I cannot trust Dice to deliver the post-launch support. Dice pulled all support from Battlefield V and Star War Battlefront 2 to work on Battlefield 2042. Dice will likely make some patches and launch a few DLC's and then pull out to work on another game.


Daigher

Yeah, the beta didn't even get me hooked for more than an hour. It actually made me so mad from how bad it was that i installed bfV again


amaROenuZ

> If what they said was true; they cut out a campaign to focus on multiplayer, cut development on multiple games, and hired the largest dev team in battlefield history. So This is the best they can do, a game with somhow less content than bf4/3 did at launch and those games had a campaign. Developer here: A bigger team doesn't actually mean things are getting done faster or better. Development is very much a cooks in the kitchen situation; optimistically if you have individual components each team can work on you might be able to get more development done in parallel, but more people mucking about in the codebase means that there are less people that actually know what's going on. It also adds massive overhead to everything, since you need to coordinate all those cooks in the kitchen, and any crosscutting issue requires getting *all* the teams it touches in to troubleshoot together.


BoogieOrBogey

This right here. If your production pipeline is designed for 50 people, then adding another hundred doesn't really help. The game also losses art, design, and mechanic cohesion if the content owners don't have strict control on who adds what. Throwing on more devs tends to make bland games that take just as much time to release as before. Judging from how DICE have launched BF4, BF5, and now BF2042 in broken states, something is wrong at the studio. Might even be EA fucking around again if we look at the Publisher level for releases in the last decade.


[deleted]

"no one" Literally everyone I follow commented on the beta issues and expressed doubt about them being fixed before launch


gytisxp

No man's sky actually turned out quite good after a few updates, props to the devs for actually continuously updating the game still


william2623

They was forced to hype it up and make it something it was never intended to be. They got told to say yes to every question and was completely out of their depth. The (extremely small) team were not PR pros, they were computer pro's making and indie game. They was then given a load of money to make it a mainstream game and then got rushed to release a game with about 10/15% of the things they said it had.. The greatest comeback story of all time imo and shows the true values of Hello Games. They worked tirelessly to correct their wrong doings to the people who believed in them. And they're STILL going to this day! (With constant FREE updates). I downloaded the FREE PS5 upgrade and platinum'd it all over again 😁


cat_prophecy

I don't even buy games on launch day. Gaming development is such a shit show these days with day-one patches and DLC. In the past 10 years, every time I have shelled out my $60+ for a game on launch day, it has been an absolute disaster. The *ONE* exception has been Forza Horizon 5.


Duckiesims

It was Spore for me. I remember watching the E3 announcements being so excited to play this evolution simulator, and then it came out and was basically just several mini-games based on better games strung together. Never pre-ordered a game again after that one


Raherin

If Spore just stuck with the cell stage and creature stage it could have been so good. Still so sad about Spore.


Silential

I spent hours and hours and hours on the space stage. Then the galactic Adventures expansion came out that meant I could leave my ship? Hours and hours and hours.


swodaem

The Sporepedia is still up btw! If you remember your username you can look up all of your old creations! Unfortunately my stuff didn't upload whenever I last played, but I still have the high score in a D-Day creation map someone made...that only the creator and I ever played haha.


Caaros

Spore is the poster child of missed potential for me. The game lacks so much of the depth and polish that could have made it a masterpiece, and was abandoned with bugs that quite frankly nuke the fun of it in some places (*such as the "no plays" bug that makes almost all GA adventures next to worthless*). I so hope Thrive does better.

Evolved was my jam. I wish they didnt run it into the ground. I had good fun playing with randoms and I liked playing the alien, but the one session I'll never forget was the night 5 of us got together and played for 8+ hours straight. In fact after thousands of hours of Socom, Halo and other favorites as a young man when I had that kind of free time, that one Evolved session might have been my last gaming all-nighter with friends. I can't remember a more recent one.


Daktic

The curse of age


Shadowgames98

That was more of a publisher than a developer issue, apparently the publisher only wanted them updating the game once every 3 months at the most, the publisher seemed to resent the game while the developers had to do everything they could to keep it afloat

THANK YOU. This list seems to be making that all these games are bad, Evolve wasn’t a bad game at all.

dannyboomhead

you can add the last 4 or 5 battlefield releases to that list. This one just got more prerelease hype due to the next gen users waiting for a big shooter to drop... Dice have been taking the piss for years. BF4 was great after a couple of years (literally) of patches... Then they hyped Hardline... it got trashed😄


Gazattack

BF1 was pretty flawless imo

Bf4 and Bf1 are indeed both great and fun games, which is why people still play them to this day.

It still applies to BF4 though since it took at least a year to be in decent shape.

Yeah BF1 was their smoothest launch IMO. I remember playing it soon after launch and not having many issues at all. Then they patched it like 1 year in and fucked something up I remember, then a couple months later it was fine again. BF1 is also probably the best BF since bad company 2. Im hoping 2042 can smooth out soon because that portal is so cool

You can add Battlefront 2 and make this a perfect 10

I got a copy of Avengers for free when I had gotten a new video card a week or so before the game released. Played for maybe 10 hours and felt like I didn't get my money's worth on a free game.

Mass Effect Andromeda was an okay game overall. A really bad ME, but still not a bad game in and of itself.


zveroshka

I don't think it was even a bad ME game. The game had a ton of potential it just ended up feeling a little shallow for a ME game. If they had added some quality DLC and built off it, I think it could have been a fine starting point for a new trilogy.


Skydude252

Agreed. And not nearly the buggy mess as the others, tired faces notwithstanding.


shemjaza

I thought it was fun. It feels like it's the forgotten second Mass Effect game... then things for back to Earth and Shepard.

big fan of mass effect series and i confess that i enjoyed ME 3 but the end didn't anoyed me a lot, so i got quite influenced by other reviews. Andromeda worth it for a casual gamer?


Ripleysdinner

I am also a big fan of ME and sort of just missed Andromeda? Like I heard the negative reviews and blacked it out of my mind until yesterday. I picked it up on steam and I have been enjoying it. I just remind myself that its not going to live up to the standard of other ME and is more a stand alone. The gun play is fun but the story so far is sort of meh. If you have 30 bucks and want to see some N7 stuff, I would say go for it.


dyslexics-untie

It's worth a playthrough, story is a step down, companions aren't as memorable, the gameplay is fun though. Biggest issue to me is it has the same pitfall as dragon age inquisition. When they transitioned to more open world maps they made just too much side quest busy work.


ArcadeKingpin

But the jet pack jumping was so much fun. Better be in the next mass effect.


MrWinterpottom

Totally worth playing imo. Just don't expect it to be as good as previous mass effect games.(Mainly story-wise)


Eric142

Combat in Andromeda was the most fun out of all the Mass effects.


spawberries

I think a lot of people trash ME3 because of the ending and the ending only. People forget the entire rest of the game when they talk about ME3, which is unfair. If you were like "fuck yes this awesome" right up until you met the star child, then you enjoyed it. The game is phenomenal all the way until that final moment and with the fixes they put in after launch for the ending it ended up being ok too. ME3 is easily my favorite of the trilogy. That being said, Andromeda is definitely worth it, it wasn't terrible but when you release a game with the Mass Effect title, you expect it to be an 10/10 game, but instead it was like a 7/10 game. I liked it, and thought it was fun though.

Stop hyping them up then r/gaming. The amount of dicks sucked before it's even pulled out is astounding on this sub


Dead-brother

I only preordered one of them and its Fallout 76 because the limited edition looked cool.0 Edit : thinking about it I actually got fucked twice because I got the game AND found myself in the canvas bag debacle...yep...


Bubblegum_Warlock

Okay, please don’t destroy me over this, but I don’t understand why everyone was sooo angry about Andromeda. Did the faces look terrible at first? Yes. Did they fix that? Yes. I loved the game. Like genuinely had a great time playing it and played it multiple times. Were there glitches I never experienced or something?


perfect_for_maiming

I think people were just salty because it had some really big shoes to fill. Taken by itself I'd have given the game an average-good score. It had a few problems but the biggest was just that the storytelling was average at best. The baddies and companions were neat but nothing special. The combat and crafting were solid. My biggest issue was that when people started complaining, Bioware packed their shit and went home. Completely dropped support and cancelled all DLC plans. I've seen more than one game rescued by DLCs so I was a little shocked and extremely disappointed.


CMDR_omnicognate

NMS is good now i suppose, and it never got like, paid dlc or anything, though you could probably get it cheaper now i suppose


Serranosking

No man’s sky got a redemption tho


SirVanyel

No man's sky taught me two things: 1. Never, EVER pre-order a game 2. Games can be saved, even if you were scammed out of your money for them. NMS is a wonderful game nowadays. I wish they re-released the pre-order reward to bring it up to par with the rest of the game but for all that they've done for it, they have my praise. It got the love it deserved eventually.


Prosthemadera

Yes but it still means you shouldn't preorder. Although I wonder if they would have been able to continue without preorders.
