2023 is The Worst Year of Game Releases

- There are a lot of Games that have been released this year that are in such an unplayable state that it is absolutely shameful to see that this has become a trend lately, Game studios hype a game too much, then they release it in what is most likely a beta-state which they follow-up by a apology statement promising that they will fix the game, just to get away from that 2-hour refund period. I want to thank every one of these channels that I've gotten snippets from to make this Video possible, it would not be possible to have such a great understanding on how the situation is without proper reviewers and technical analysis.

Damn you're literally Crowbcat
Can you make a meme/video about how good "Resident Evil 4 remake" was?
It has been all negative stuff lately
Wait, why isn't atomic heart in the list? There will be second part right?
Beside minor performance issue, Star wars Survivors is the best star war game ever, your video make it looks like dog shit....
AAA is starting to stand for "Awful, Atrocious, Abominable".
Why don't big company just invest money in indie games that have great idea but lack of resource? I mean game like "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" Have really unique combat (and hard) that you really need to train for hour just to get good.
@@jalma9643 You know the answer. Political correctness. The company behind Kingdom Come Deliverance was offered a lot of money by some big company but under condition that they put some black people in their setting. To that Czechs said: No! There were no black people in our lands in medieval times. Why would we do that? Then they made bad press for them. That game is unacceptable because you can rape girls and you can make your character a sociopath and still be considered a hero. And something about games causing violence. But honestly that was reality in medieval country ravished by war.
Ok Imma be honest; I have no idea what AAA actually stands for. I just view it as a way to discuss the quality of the studio and production value behind it.
@@paperluigi6132 it doesn’t stand for anything, it just a classification that’s given to popular revenue generating games from well known publishers, or at least that’s what it was supposed to mean. Now indie games generally perform far better than most AAA games from huge publishers, the only ones who I still have faith in the AAA are CD Projekt Red and Rockstar Games.
@@paperluigi6132 AAA just means it had an entire country's worth of money put into it - and clearly not to the right places.
Forsaken didn't have a bad release. It was just a bad game in general.
I played the demo it was terrible
Forsaken xd?
The WorthABuy stream was GOLD
@@AlanLetch i didn't know the games were that broken
@@AlanLetchit's so bad he forgot its name
And the fact that developers are mad and say that Baldur’s Gate level of quality is unrealistic and should not be the industry standard 💀
Baulders gate is trash its literally for biden voters.
That's really funny when in fact it should be. The consumers speak louder than the companies
It's exactly what happened with Elden Ring, a developer that actually cares about its audience and puts out a quality product and the other half assed devs immediately start making excuses.
Baldur's Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom's backs are really hurting right now carrying this year's game releases...
@@sir_wfflesthey dont carry much anyway. 2023 is jampacked with great releases. Quality games. Not quantity 100+ hours games at that.
I remember a time in gaming where you had to go out of your way to break a game or see glitches. These days, you just have to play the game for these things to happen. Insane.
Really? When was that time in gaming? Can't be during the NES days. Plenty of games were broken or buggy.
This is one of those comments
@@randomstuff508 from the ps3 and before, because updates after launch didn't really exist or at least they weren't well implemented, so programmers had to make sure all the games had no glitches at all... good times
*laughs in Goldeneye 007*
@@zWolfrostOldthis man literally just told you a time where there were so many buggy ass games that sometimes cost more than games do now & you just ignored it
3 simply rules:
1) Do not preorders
2) Do not buy shitty games
3) Ignore them
People buy crappy games themselves and therefore the situation will not get better, it will only get worse.
People love to see other people suffer. So we can't do anything. Also they have high FOMO.
I only got so much money to spend on entertainment, I can't afford to buy trash games that I'll hate after 10 minutes.
4) Stop playing games and actually work in your life.
Cause these fkin games, not gonna help your life especially if you waste 100s of hours in this shit.
Guess there are a few exceptions, I pre ordered Resident Evil 4 and it was totally worth it, although it is really concerning how unpredictable the new releases quality is nowadays
Buy a year after release is a safe bet in all scenarios
Remember: if you preordered any of these games, you’re part of the problem
If you pre-order any game you are part of the problem . There is no justification for pre-ordering anything. The only reason pre-ordering even exists is because of the consumer base allowing it.
There are no benefits of preordering games other getting preorder bonuses, which may give an unfair advantage and may not even be worth it
I am thinking about picking up forspoken...freys face kinda looks like mine. if I had a daughter with a lperson with little melanin, she'd probably look like fray lol.
@@RatusMax it's not a reason to pickup a dog shit game
Am stealing that line, the royalty cheque is in the mail.. 😂😂😂
What a time we're living in, where games that Valve made 15 years ago are still holding up better, than the games we currently see being released. Thanks to the culture of dlcs, preorders and all that AAA bs forced down peoples throats.
This is so true. I have a library full of triple a releases and still play csgo,tf2 etc
And you keep buying it like a hypocrite.
To be a tinge bit fair, there are still movies decades older that are pretty good in modern times. It isn’t necessarily a shot at current movies but more or less a praise of just how well done the movie was that it is still going strong.
With that being said, the criticism toward modern day video games and movies are fair just disagree with using the passage of time has a critique
lol I haven't bought a game since rust on console came out, thats triple A , oh wait actually I did buy a game recently, mw2 (2009) been playing it constantly@@jackjax7921
Or just stop using the term AAA to describe these retarded excuses of gaming companies
It's a wild year, we're getting a lot of awesome games but also a shocking amount of REALLY bad ones.
yeah we need a new nier game
@@etherealmako I just want something made by Yoko Taro that's not gatcha bullshit.
The "great" games are just re-releases from several years ago
And Baldur's Gate 3
@@sazechs_451 Armored Core 6, Lies of P, Hi-fi Rush, Remnant 2... all re-releases, right?
BG3's combat is boring as fuck btw.
@@night1952 AC 6 hasn't released yet, remember... It's hyping everything up is part of the issue. I do hope it's gonna be great, but we don't know yet
As for the other 3 games, never heard of... If Remnant 2 is at the same level as 1 then it's really not awesome. Nice, yes, but no more
There is no need to buy games at release anymore. There are so many other games to play, it is almost insane. Wait until sale or at least until they discover and fix their broken stuff if you can't wait for a sale
i'm quite happy playing a f2p game from 3 years ago even though it pissed me off and disappoints me all the time. at least it's not this.
I almost always wait for a Sale. Just thrifty, not because I couldn´t afford it.
Neither for console
exactly, like they spend months after release patching the game until it becomes playable like wtf
But don't forget that you will miss out on those pre-purchase bonuses if you don't pre-order!!!
"Release it the way it is, we'll fix it later" we are in such an awful moment in gaming
It’s called capitalism. People want bigger games, Bigger games take long to develop, people aren’t patient, now there’s a chance at losing money. You bum rush development and like you said “fix it later”. I mean people complain about GTA 6 not being out yet then go into to say they take too quick to work on games
@@JackycakesV2yup. People nowadays have the attention spam of a fish. That why they can't wait for mothing.
Eh, it's an awful moment if you only look at super big AAA games, pizza tower, zelda tears of the kingdom, the demo of Antonblast, Hi-fi Rush, it's more of a mixed bag of quality
reminder: the best releases this year came out 10+ years ago.
its really litterally just hifi rush and legend of zelda that came out this year.
@@c97x both those games are new? And we still had Jedi survivor, we’re getting Spider-Man 2, and who knows if starfields good or not
The fact that a game like Baldur's Gate 3 is not only an immensely rich and fantastic game but isn't dense in bugs is a miracle
It was early access for years by the way : D
BG 3 optimization is bad btw. But feel free to think it's well optimized. Every serious tech benchmark admit it anyway.

You dont have to play new games if they suck and at horrible state. Just dont waste your money and a space on your SSD. Even if you have a 1-5 GB/s download speeds
Same for console gaming but only to a certain extent. I mean some of these games run like absolute crap on consoles too
I blame the shareholders who rush out these games when they clearly require much more development time
I don't blame the shareholders - they invest their money in order to become richer. If a company knows they can cut costs with little or no effect on sales, they'll do it. People say "the customer is always right" and if the customers rush out to buy unfinished products, companies are going to keep releasing games in this state.
In any other industry, releasing an unfinished, bad product will result in fewer sales than if you release a finished, quality product. For some reason, that statement seems to fall down in the gaming industry...
@@PeteBaldwin 100% I just feel for the developers who put so much effort in these games just to have the public shit on it for good reason obviously but so many factors go into it
Yeah I know what you mean. There are people who work their asses off to try and put out a good game and are then criticised because they didn't manage to do 2 years worth of work in 6 months. Ultimately though, customers need to realise that their words are irrelevant - it's their money that matters. If you buy a game and then shit all over it online, shareholders don't care because they've already got everything they want from you.
@@PeteBaldwin it amazes me that people still pre-order games 😂
It's so sad because Jedi Survivor is actually an amazing game but definitely needed to be delayed even longer. The craziest thing was that it was actually delayed by a couple of weeks. I think I remember that it was supposed to come out back in April but then it got delayed to May. Were they just sitting on their ass and not doing anything during that time?
It's more of a management problem, iirc for the first few years they're just doing theoretical stuff and don't start on the game itself until years into the project, and then it's a crunch for time since they spent half of their allotted time into theory, then the managers at EA announce a release date for the game when they clearly know the game is not even close to ready.
The puzzles were awful ruined the game for me
You know what's funny? We're only 5 months into 2023.
The year is 36.438% complete.

There should be a worst game studio of the year/decade award.
"look at these three games out of the multitude of amazing games released this year! this year really SUCKS for gaming dude!!1111"
Cope. The point of the video is to point out games with glaring technical problems. Many games that run well that came out this year are bad for other reasons.
@@PeteyPirahna77 dawg you dont even know what that word means LOL, nobodies coping its just a shitty video
Funny thing is that these are all mainly PC problems. As a PS5 player I only had problems with Jedi Survivor and even then it was very minimal frame losses
@preternatural9417That's normal for PS5 tho
@preternatural9417what is yours? 60 frames is good enough, 30 is just absolute garbage
Probably because it's the ports from ps5 that they complained about most

And Sony wants consumers to pay $70 per game? Lol
@@albyx They're not the only ones.
@@albyx 70$ for remastered PS3 games LOL
If 2023 in gaming is headed the same way music was in 2013, then I shudder what a giant string of bad releases 2024 will bring us.
Paid beta test?
Tears of The Kingdom, RE4 remake, Dead Space remake, Baldurs gate 3, cyberpunk 2.0 and phantom liberty, FFXVI, hogwarts legacy, spiderman 2, Alan Wake 2, Armored Core 6, Lies of P. Sure there has been shit releases but its literally been one of the best years of gaming in a decade. Jedi Survivor, botched release and poor PC port aside is a very very good game. There's also Like a Dragon Isshin and Like a dragon gaiden coming out this week.
Every year has shit releases even the golden generation of 2007-2012 had some dogshit releases every year. We haven't had such a good year in gaming since 2011-12.
Baldur's Gate 3: Aight let's do this.
it's painful to see all those cash grap crap happening
The fact that we r barely halfway through 2023 makes it more saddening!
Mobile games are the downfall of games as a whole. Once these suits saw how much many those games like Candy Crush were bringing in it was a wrap. Games arent made to be good anymore just profitable. Look at the shit Diablo has become.. A cash shop in a full priced game.
Is it just me or do game studios dont put effort anymore, because they know people will buy it anyway and there is no way to refund (2 hours on Steam arent enough at all, if new games will stay so unfinished)? We, the gamers, need to come together and stand up for the good game development. There is no doubt that there is the option for that, because otherwise the older games wouldn't be better so it has to do with their laziness
tbh anyone preordering any AAA game at this stage deserves it.
Is investor and managers wanting money money money money money money money money money.
The poor devs just get work work work work work work.
Like, you can not work more than 8 hours a day solving problems, I sure do not, before your brain turns into a gugu gaga machine.
Decision fatigue is real and is affecting the Game industry, heck all industries.
even mindless jobs, there so much you can et out of a human before his own body says "enough is enough" and pretty much calls it a day.
@@NittlepickGamingHD How are you going to do that though since I am pretty sure a lot of them don't even come close to review channels
Be happy Nintendo and Rockstar Games exist, these are a blessing that keeps the industry alive. Saving even.
Yes. They've done it for 17 years.

How?
Coming back to this vid, this might be one of the best years for game releases since 2018. Alan Wake 2, Totk, Baulders Gate 3, Re4 remake, Lies of P, as well as indie hits like Lethal Company and cocoon.
As for the industry? Well, it's the complete opposite.
Bad games come out, that's a given. However, unfortunately this channel likes to just focus on the bad it seems.
Shame.
Cant really blame the companies why would they give you a finnished product when most people will buy it regardless, because they dont wanna miss out on the hype.
I can blame companies. Those money hungry cunts will do anything to earn more and more. They create the hype and cheat you to buy the game.

@@SAN-se9fq still play AC brotherhood 💀
That's a perfect reason to blame the companies. If they really cared about what they put out it wouldn't matter to them if they were gonna make money even if it wasn't finished. They'd actually care about putting out a complete project they could be proud of and know people will truly enjoy.

Honestly I've played Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 and I didn't have any problems.

But RE4, TOTK, Hi-Fi Rush, Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Island 2, Diablo 4, Street Fighter 6, FF16 in a while, DS1R, Atomic Heart, Metroid Prime Remaster, Wo Long.. and we're just in June. By the end of the year we'll get Starfield, Spider Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Company of Heroes 3, possibly even more... I mean, this is not a bad year for gaming, other than shitty pc ports. It's more games than I can possibly play with my spare time
@@HiddenmistSwag how on earth is it meant to be played on the PS5 only when it launched on 3 platforms bruh. That ain't even an exclusive
It's sad cause the title is absolutely true, but the highs this year have been some of the better to come out in a long time as well so I hope the good games released in 2023 don't get overshadowed or forgotten because of the bad. Stuff like hi fi rush, signalis, bg3 of course, sf6, dead space/re4/metroid remakes, plus a bunch of other really really solid titles are making for one of the most stark differences between peaks and valleys I've seen in years.
This looks a lot like pc problems. Played hogwarts, Jedi survivor, Star field, a few other games this year and all of them have ran perfectly fine on my xbox series S. Never have I ever seen these things happen. Played for many hours and never had a problem.

@@thomasbeaver6931 look it up a 4090 cant even get 60fps in most of these games
Digitalization of videogames, specially from the current console generation, allowed developers to release unfinished or unpolished games, releasing updates and endless online DLCs as they see profitable, instead of packing a complete game on a disc.
And also the corporate heads knowing first worlders will pay 70$ or more on broken products regardless, even when they don't even exist yet (pre-orders).
This has been going on since the Xbox 360 days when Microsoft incentivized this practice. Developers have been getting lazy since then.
"Atleast this video is a finished product" had me dying 😂😭
might as well reconsider buying a new gpu
Ngl 2023 is shaping out to be a banger year more than anything. We got zelda, hi-fi rush, hogwarts, SF6, both RE4 and dead space remakes, baldurs gate. The indie scene is popping off as usual, my favourite this year being cassette beasts.
And the year isnt even halfway done, we still got plenty more room for more bangers. Every single year of gaming since the 80's has had shitty games. We need to learn when we got a good year when its happening. This year is NOWHERE near as bad as 2021 thats for sure
Mario bros wonder is looking really cool, too
I agree, there is never a bad year in gaming, except maybe 2021-2022, since a lot of games were downgraded to be released on last gen due to next gen shortage.
@@thomasnielsen5580u can’t call bad 2022 since we got both GOWRagnarok and Elden ring in that year

PC Players: _Boasting about "Master race" bullshit_
Me, multiplatform: _Points to busted ass PC ports like this_ "You take the good, and the bad."
I blame this on Star Citizen and Cyberpunk 2077. They sent the message that this sort of gaming will be tolerated on PC. Hype your product even though your development isn't making anything of worth come true. By the time the fiends and whales catch on, you already got their money man. Western game developers fired all their talent from controversies. The people who are left are lost in the sauce on how to make a game narratively and fundamentally lost on functionality.
This has been going on far before star citizen and cyberpunk
We were slowly groomed to tolerate these type of things id say, the moment people get a game they like they immediately ignore the small issues it has.
In reality one should always judge even their most favorite games so they would improve
i blame pc gamers for tolerating broken games in pc on launch
It started long before that it's just now it's gotten even worse.
I think it all started with No Man's Sky.
I feel like nowadays the new games make me appreciate the old games much more.

You don't need to play the latest games you know. Most recent game on my PC is from 2018 which is rdr2
@@detecta There are some good releases this year: Dead Space Remake, RE4 remake (the RE games overall are pretty good), Hi-Fi Rush. But my recommendation: try playing older titles, like the PS2 or PS3 era games. You can either emulate them or buy a used PS2/3. You can also go for older game titles.
Or you go for indie titles or more niche genre these days. If you enjoy coop games, then theres nothing better than Deep Rock Galactic at the moment.
Not all the game releases were bad. The new Zelda is really good so far. I think PC gaming is just having the worst this year while console gaming is just fine
And Capcom with RE 4
Exactly. This year has just had bad PC ports but otherwise some pretty solid releases. Outside of, like, Redfall and Gollum.
Idk they shelved that multiplayer The Last of Us. It seems this is gonna touch consoles soon, too.
Zelda is good, but not in the switch, barely plays at 30fps, absolutely horrible resolution, things disappear right in front of u. The game is amazing, but that's unacceptable. Obviously it's Nintendo, and I guess there's no more playing nice between corps these days. Hogwarts legacy was also really fun though, it ran just fine on my PC. A lot of people just bashed it for the sake of being annoying or some random woke crap that J.k was involved in. The only thing I'm glad is that although Nintendo is a piece of shit company that doesn't care about their customers whatsoever, they still make the best games on the market. And it's kinda crazy to think that aside from fromsoft I can't name companies who still prioritize their product over political agenda and maximum greed.
*geometry dash*
So this is what modern day AAA gaming looks like.
It is a damn shame that so many players experienced performance issues with Jedi Survivor because the game is phenomenal, at least in my opinion. The story is one of the best Star Wars stories we've gotten in recent years and it immediately became one of my favourites.
I was one of the lucky ones I suppose and experienced zero issues on launch. Since then my game has crashed a handful of times and I had the Caij bounty hunter bug for a while which has since been fixed, but at least my first play through was smooth sailing. I hope those who had a bad run in terms of performance give the game another try in the future because it really is a great game.
Same for me. Great game, but the performance was pretty bad for me. It's mostly playable, but on some parts of Koboh it really almost froze for me. Still worth experiencing it, though.
PC had its golden age.
and now it is having it's red fall
correction, triple A developers had their golden age and this is their downfall, pc is still on top in terms of performance and power and capabilities
Ok but 90% of the releases run and look like sht on console too so who is having their golden age lol
The industry wouldn't have hit this point if pre purchasing and hype wasn't a thing imo
Gaming*
Me happily playing all the forgotten Steam games from the mid and late 2010s, last game I purchased at launch was Elden Ring and even that master piece gave me lots of headaches with it's stuttering...
Same here, and it's a smart move. Save money and enjoy good graphics even with a medium level PC
Elden Ring runs at 4k 60fps maxed with stuttering occurring once ever 1-2 hours at most. When it comes to Elden Ring, it's a pure hardware issue, the software is really good. You can't expect to have animations as deep and varied with so many individual captioned frames and expect much more, the graphics in this game are actually geared towards gameplay, not empty CGI or RT effects. I can get locked 60fps at 5k in many places, locked 4k everywhere with a 7900XT and 13700k. What is an optimised game to you if not Elden Ring? A new AAA release that gets 8k 60fps locked with no stuttering lol? That's extremely unrealistic. Even I can run this this at 8k with 30fps locked if I wanted lol, and my hardware is nowhere near close enough for a legit 8k experience anywhere, not even a 4090 can do that.
@@gameurai5701 He literally just said the last game he purchased at launch, it's obvious that you are getting a better experience NOW. And he is right by the way, Elden ring was nowhere near perfect at launch, it took them some time to polish the game properly
I still play forgotten sands 🤣
Get it ? "Forgotten"
At least Elder ring has gameplay, not just looks.
1:43 I love how Angry Joe not being in the second clip of the game lagging implies that he rage quit after the first one
Forspoken is a great example of why silent protagonists are better
It’s always funny how nintendo doesn’t even prioritize power and immersive gameplay yet they release games that don’t need day one patches.
Edit: Guys I know about the Pokémon games… Nintendo is still better at polishing they’re games than most other companies.
It's also funny how Nintendo doesn't give two fucks about other countries besides Japan and North America. In Latin-America since the 80s the prices of their consoles and games are abismal, nowadays they charge even more ridiculous prices.
Take Tears of the Kingdom for example, in North America full price is 70$, translating that to Brazil's Real for example is 344$ Reais. That's almost half of the average payment and the game doesn't even come localized.
So yeah, while Microsoft and Sony actually gives a shit, on Nintendo we pirate their games with proud and joy.
@@HenriqueHCA14 lol ok?
@@HenriqueHCA14 well duh of course they focus on places where people can afford their products
Simple, they let their devs cook their games in the oven for 4-5 years, instead of the current Dev hell of needing a working game 6-14 months just to not be canned and with a frick ton of game breaking bugs due to that
@@HenriqueHCA14 its not nintendo faults ur country economy is so poor company can't publish game there and expect profit 😂 happy pirating tho 🏴☠️
Unpopular opinion: Don't play AAA games. Simply watch broken unfinished AAA games launch and laugh at the backlash.
That's free entertainment, lads ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's what I am doing nowadays. I am not from this generation of Gamers, mostly enjoy the old classics and occasionally pick up these new AAA stuff only when the developers have fixed the game enough or if it's on sale.
Great plan: Support indie games.

Dude, you're killing me with that fking flute!😂
They should optimize their games like Nintendo does

Crazy to think we’re just halfway through 2023 and the amount of horrible releases is crazy
There’s only been like 3. There have been some amazing releases this year with more still to come
They sure must've inherited from Cyberpunk...I tell you that.
What’s a shame is the fact that the good releases this year get completely overshadowed by the bad.
@@them2wheels116Cyberpunk was definitely the starting point of this bullshit.
@@theflipper404
😅 exactly
Counter argument: TOTK, RE4, Baldurs Gate III
Instead of these
Dredge, Pizza Tower, RE4.
It's such a shame, because Jedi Survivor is a really great game behind all the performance issues that are holding the it back. If EA hadn't made the devs release it too early then people would only be talking about how good the actual game is.
EA does nothing but force their developers to release unfinished products. They're extremely well known for that.
See, now this really bothers me because Jedi Survivor ran just fine on my PC. Not to mention, the console versions ran perfectly fine. Does it being a bad PC port really mean it deserves to get shit on relentlessly when every other version works?
Just seems rather unfair.
Honestly I never heard anything bad about it until now the only thing I heard that was a problem was some frame drops and that's really it unless that was a PC only problem
@@Dylan-xx2tk Yes it does same with the last of us part 1 theres no exscuse for games to come to a platform where the most money is spent and people having hardware that far exceeds the requirements just for the game to run like ass
@@DndAJ4x I mean, don't get me wrong it's totally fair to criticize bad PC ports, this year has been full of them. I wasn't trying to say that people shouldn't do so.
But to ONLY remember a game for having a shitty PC port when every other version is flawless (and the game itself is loads of fun) is what I'm calling unfair, especially since these problems didn't affect every PC player (speaking specifically about Survivor).
This is why we need to rally behind indie devs. Yes their games aren't always flawless but you'd expect that...not the drivel we've been getting drip fed by these supposed "AAA" developers
I'll rally behind good devs and even then I'm not preordering. Plenty of good indie devs with innovative games but even more garbage ones or ones that just follow trends set by AAA titles.
@@greenbrickbox3392🤝
Once they make a game that's not a mobile game format ported for console, I will. Most indie games suck; they are either super repetitive or just plain uninteresting.
Plus I don't see indie devs making IPs that I like; DragonBall, Star Wars, MK etc.

I think all the big reviewers should unite and create the "DON'T BUY THIS GAME" stamp. There would be an official site on the internet where people could go and check if the game they're about to buy has received the stamp from said reviewers, then check periodically to see if eventually the game gets fixed and the stamp is lifted.
sadly this wont happen because all big reviewers are bribed by game companies to give their games good ratings.
they don't shit where they eat.
no, it will be exploited
they are in bed with these companies
Lol ign is def not gonna do that
God bless for these content creators reviewing and playing all these messy games, so I could just save 70 bucks and wait for sale later.
Pretty much. A year later many of these games are going to be about half price, patched, and you'll potentially have another year of new hardware to run the game.
They can probably make the money back cause people watch their reviews
id say to not even buy it on sale. you know the game is going to be bad, why even buy it, no matter how cheap it is.
@@SaarlaneKretiinno lie said. But is Forspoken or any of these games shown not worth like you said. I have the Forspoken Demo and have been on the fence since and now doubting Star Wars
🤓
Zelda, Pikmin, Baldur’s Gate, Spiderman, Starfield, Hi-fi Rush. It’s been a fantastic year for gaming!
Starfield is not even out xD and since it's a Bethesda game you can throw a coin if it's buggy af for the first weeks or actually playable
Starfield isn't out for an entire month and they are selling preleases of beyond £80 on PC, without even any demos. It could be great, it could be an awful, buggy mess, who knows yet.
Re4r
We got Pizza Tower and Hi Fi Rush, also Armored Core 6
You know what's even more funny. When we do get a new game which actually works we praise the developers in such a way like omg what did they do the best game ever the game works!!!! Apparently it's a praise worthy thing for the developers TO DO THEIR FKIN JOB WHICH THEY ARE HIRED FOR IN THE FIRST FKIN PLACE!!!
Like Resident Evil 4 Remake, smooth as butter and praised, even if it should be the standard in videogames nowdays.
i get where you're coming from, but it's really not the fault of the developers themselves, it's the shitty studios and companies who just don't give a fuck about anything other than money and releasing their half-assed game as fast as possible, submitting their workers to needless crunch in the process. The developers do what they can with the scarce resources they're given
One thing is for sure they all get the *bust* part of blockbuster right.
It's because people keep buying and pre ordering these crappy and unfinished games that they still exist
these devs are getting way too comfortable releasing unfinished/buggy games. no wonder everyone is going back to older works
Hogwarts performance issues got fixed few weeks after release, early adopters practically beta tested the performance. And the only decent AAA game release this year that WASN'T a stutterfest is Dead Island 2, which is an Epic Games exclusive..
It somehow made the game worse for me.
Tears of the Kingdom
Bro that game ain't it
Dead Island 2 the only decent AAA game? You are crazy.
Nope it's still dog shit for people with midrange cpus
Dead space and Resident evil 4 have made this year worthwhile for me
Other games shall be pirated extensively.
@@BrainPermaDeD I wouldn’t even bother
@@silvertoddler8326 good one
To think best triple A games coming this year so far are from remakes, imo that's kinda new low for gaming...
Don't get me wrong those remakes are awesome tho..
Even then we are in remake era where old games getting remake most of time. Most recent games are so bad because companies nowadays lacks creativity and their only way to make good thing is to remake old good stuff and when they remake it there's 50/50 chance of remake being good or bad.
It's crazy to me how a lot of these games work fine on console or pc, but are not optimized for both. If I were a game dev or company, I would want to make sure that a game is freaking optimized and actually works on ALL systems its releasing on.
People love to be negative, 2023 has some of the best game releases in years...
It’s kind of hilarious that the fact that the gaming industry is suffering after all these releases. Effectively, these companies have mostly just hurt themselves. Same thing goes for graphics cards. It’s good to know that people won’t simply be buying things just for consumerism. That’s honestly what gives me hope. Eventually, these companies will have to go back to making finished products that have been thoroughly tested, or others will fill that gap.
I am chill about this. The fault isnt with the companies, but with the gamers preordering stuff from companies that arent trustworthy. They want to make money and if you give them money for bad products, they will keep doing so.
I tend to agree. I think that it somehow allow sales to exist.
People that fall for the hype pay a really high price, for a product that is unfinished. They complain, while preordering the next AAA disaster.
This in turn allow these games to be sold at discounted prices a few months later, with it still being profitable to these companies because they made such a nice and quick margin on the first adopters.
Let the sheeps pay extra for a few useless goodies along with broken games. I'll play discounted patched games. There are so many games these days that following this method allow you to be in complete control of what you play. You only play the best games, because sheeps have spent their money and time to let you know which games are worth it and which games are not (looking at you forespoken).
No, it's the natural progression of capitalism where the gaming industry simply caught up with the monopolization of our product choices. They don't pay enough to their workers, they crunch, they push deadlines no one can practically fight, etc.
Thinking it all comes down to just other gamers wanting to buy games is naive.
@@Agent_A_Graham ok, so following your logic, if all customers were to abruptly no longer pre-order games, it wouldn't change anything?
Supply and demand is the core mechanic of capitalism. There is nothing naive about it.
Blaming everything on ''capitalism'' on the other hand is really pure hypocrisy.
You say that capitalism is exploiting workers, and making them crunch ? Ultimately YOU enable it every time you buy a game created in such conditions.
If pre-orders or companies resorting to crunch were massively boycotted, supply would adapt to the demand, because it would be the only way to make money.
Companies are not doing all this for the sake of being evil. They do it to maximize profit, because they know people are still willing to pay for it. Refusing to take responsibility for it is what is naive.
People keep blaming capitalism. But not the idiots handing over money. The power and the best voting method we hold is our wallets. Dipshitz
@@etienne1062 I will pirate.
While there has been some horrific launches this year, we're forgetting there is also some really good ones too:
-Dead Space 2023 perfectly captured the original and improved it as did RE4 Remake
-Dead Island 2 was a pretty fun beat em up considering we never thought it would ever release
-Street Fighter 6 is stylish and and amazing intro to the series for new fighting gamers and professionals alike.
-System Shock is a fantastic reimagining of the original
Don't forget BattleBit:Remastered, because that game is now 1# best selling game on Steam and it's a really good game tho, you don't need a high end spec to run that game (since it's a whole 2gb). People right now were having fun playing that game because the VOiP actually makes the game more fun.
It’s sad to see genuinely good games that came out this year get completely overshadowed by the bad. People just suddenly forget that these games exist.
@@blueflare3848 It's true! I'm not saying lets ignore the obviously bad ones but from an overall perspective I think this is the year that's got us back on track after the pandemic hit us
@@Inkbud Exactly. I couldn't agree more.
A couple of decent games doesn't compare to the amount of shit ones. That's why almost everyone is calling this the worst year in gaming ever. And it's only going to get worse.
This is why for the past few years I’ve been finding indie games and games from ps3 era and before those games are actually finished. Pizza Tower is one of my favorite games ever made and I started playing Xenogears recently 12 hours in and it’s one of the greatest rpgs ever made. What are AAA studios doing
Do you remember the good old days when our biggest problems used to be micro-transactions and DLCs?
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
Why settle for 2 problems when you could have more
2:20 soo nice to know the "acid attack victim" is a option in the character face customization.
Remember when your parents told you that games are waste of time?
In 2023 they are right
Seriously people need to find other hobby right now
solution is simple
1. Don't preorder,
2. Buy games only after release and that too after watching a gameplay video on youtube and check whether you want to buy it or not
3. Wait for patch updates or sale
When you give corporations money only after they have fixed their game, then they will get the message
I just want to pre order pikmin4 because everyone knew nintendo games are always finished software that no need patch day1
4th opinion: say fxxk that shxt and just play older games.

2018 is still the best year for gaming. GOW, Spiderman RDR 2, MH World plus the game awards orchestra is 🔥🔥🔥
2018 is probably the one good year we’ve had in general as far as recent memory
2018 was pretty chill
Yeah, Monster Hunter World was easily the best game I've played since Skyrim.
Gaming reached its peak on 2012, 64 bit only games was the begining of the downfall
I guess 2018 is the best year for gaming...if you're 6 years old 😂
I encountered less bugs and performance issues in early access indie games over the last 2 years than I did in AAA titles.
Valheim, Sons of the Forest, V Rising and a few others did run without too many issues, they were at least always playable
Yeah sons of the forest, bro did you really pull up the absolute bug simulator?
@@readytopay1488 That's why it's in early access, and those bugs don't make the game unplayable, in fact, they're often actually funny.
@@patrikpilter09 yeah I know but that wasn't my point, this guy pointed sons of the forest as the cleanest game lmao, not a chance at least for now
@@readytopay1488 he said he had encountered bugs but the game was playable. He didn't say anything about being perfect
sons of the forest is NOT a good example of a not buggy game😂 Valheim is goated though
What I've played this year has been pretty damn good. Tears of the kingdom is my new favorite game, bg3 is incredible, Jedi survivor while super buggy is a decent game. Armored core 6 showed that fromsoft isn't restricted to souls and can still make really good games, and the re4 and dead space remakes were really good. I'm really excited for spider man 2, Mario wonder, and the MGS collection. Just my thoughts
The worst thing is that Forsaken had an interesting concept, it was literally "Isekai: the game"... what a shame.
This is not just bad year for gaming, this is dawn of AAA gaming in general. Only hope is indie games.
Even indie games got their demise. Even heard about WRATH? almos 5 years in early access with no release date.
@@SuckItDown That just means Developers don't want to work.
And FromSoftware.
Meanwhile Tears of The Kingdom, Hogwarts Legacy and Diablo 4 is giving the hope we all needed.
Pizza tower is incredible
Don't be sad, a ton of old and awesome games can be replayed all over again with more enjoyable experience seeing these videos of modern games condition
CoD4, CoDMW2(2009), etc.
It’s like we’re stuck in time
I enjoy buying games from 2019 and below. Like re2 remake and dmc. They much cheaper too.
@@zilverman7820 re4 remake is a freaking good game tho...
It's cheaper! Stonks
2023 was a fantastic year for Nintendo
Except Mortal Kombat 1
We only had a few gems that stood out this year, like Tears of the Kingdom, Wo Long, and Resident Evil 4 Remake, but besides those, nothing was good.
I JUST KILLED MY DEVELOPER WITH MY FREAKING MIND HAHA
Meanwhile in Rockstar studios:
"Alright boys, hear me out, for each bug that is found, one puppy will die here."
Rockstar be like: "Aight fellas. We only have more five years, six days and five minutes left, C'MON WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME"
Played GTA V since 2015.
Only can remember 1 bug, where my phone showed coding (I’m not joking).
Rockstar took 1 year to fix one bug in rdr2. Sure they make great games but they can take their time with updates and patches. (They still haven't fixed RDR2 epilogue and John.)
I dont understand how you can say its the worst year when it wasnt even half way over at the time of this video
worst year? yeah there were a few duds, but the good far outweigh the bad. tears of the kingdom, final fantasy 16, Diablo 4, battlebit remastered, re4 remake, dead space remake, street fighter 6, atomic heart, and we still have spider man 2, armored core 6, and starfield coming out this year
to me they seem to balance each other out whereas most other years the good actually did outweigh the bad
@@denisucuuuhow are they balancing out? There have been more good than bad.
The issue lies in the fact that you're made more aware of how bad games are by multiple sources, as opposed to maybe one back then?
Diablo 4 and Starfield 😂😂
Actually, I disagree with you. Diablo IV was actually pretty bad and Starfield was disappointingly average.
Imagine having these games as nostalgia in the future.
I find resident evil 6 so nostalgic so it's not impossible
@@sofia_jijai990 Ok but i'm not saying new games in general can't be nostalgic in the future...
