Snoman Gaming hey Snowman! Love your content! Keep it up!
Hey thanks! :)
Snoman Gaming np! I also really agreed with both of your lists!
But I do personally think Sticker Star wasn’t THAT bad, I really did actually enjoy the game when I kept a open mind and didn’t also think of the old rpgs in mind.
As a Paper Mario sequel, ya it’s trash, but if you just look at it as a overall video game I’d have to disagree.
But REALLY good list! I’m a really big fun of the channel and I’m even glad I had gotten a response!
Can’t wait to see your new content! :D
Edit: also, glad to see Hollow Knight was on your best list, it’s one of my favorite Video Games, and as part of the fandom I appreciate it!
(Also, also, sorry I take a lot! ^^*)
@Snoman, what is your intro song? I checked all the songs in the description and don't see it.
BASHI BLOCKS SHOULD BE ON THE LIST
Nobody noticed that even if all these games are broken garbage, the in game microtransaction stores always work
Might want to retype that eh?
@@the3diamonds472 lol
It kinda has to. If the store doesn't work and people don't get what they paid for they would be eligible for a lawsuit or something like that.
@@LinusKarlssonMusic Are we talking about the game or the store? Because this applies to both.
@@malcolmmorin I see what you mean but I don't think you can sue for a buggy or disappointing product (afaik at least). While in game microtransactions just have to work if they are there

"While it is technically online..."
One week
It took one week for two people to find each other.
One week to discover, that the game infact DIDN'T have any multiplayer support.
Two guys found each other, through the help of reddit, met up ingame and couldn't see each other, while also having not sync'ed up day cycles.
So stating it was multiplayer (as the devs did pre launch) is straight up wrong, and it really surprises me how they didn't get succesfully sued over this.
Holy crap I didn't know that LOL! that's so much worse
@@snomangaming It was a really big deal at the time. The box for the game has multiplayer written on it, but there was no functioning multiplayer in the actual game. The argument made by the developers was there was multiplayer in the form of naming planets/animals you discover and having the names appear in other people's games, therefore it wasn't false advertising. I'm not sure when the expected multiplayer did get added in, but it was a long time after.
Devs fixed their mistakes and added content, that is brilliant. Sadly, it makes a lot of people forget about all the lies and deceiving that was done. It does not absolve them.
@@cheesypoohalo That was with the NEXT update released in July 2018, just two years shy of the two year anniversary. This was then expanded in the BEYOND update released earlier this year in 2019.
Were they at least able to find a planet that someone else had claimed? Because I bet it's easy to just generate a couple dozen procedurally generated planets, in your copy of the game, and tell you that you "found" them in this four-quadrillion-planet universe.
A correction regarding No Man's Sky: It did not have multiplayer. The claim was that players occupied the same universe, but that it was so vast that they'd practically never directly encounter eachother. However, some players decided to test this by finding and moving to the same spot in both of their games, and they could not see eac
h other
@@joanetetragano7523 lol
well shait
I came to this comment section to make this exact correction, and I'm grumpy that I don't get to be the know-it-all who did it.
it was a lie
In the 2000's bad games were a result of bad management, bad design or just a lack of direction.
In the 2010's games were bad because of greed.
It's true, back then, they were more like mistakes that they could recover from, but the bad games of today are mostly ruining the reputation of whatever company made them, because they were either greedy, had a strict deadline, or both!
Bioware's games are bad because of bad management and lack of direction tho
No wonder MN9 feels like a lost ps2 game
Yep. It’s normally a result of popularity and companies only caring about money because they know if they make another game in a popular series people will buy it.
Actually, mostly all games are a result of bad management, bad design, or just a lack of direction. Just look at Bioware and Bungie

Snowman: Amiibo Festival.
Me: OH! Carry on!
I legitimately forgot that Amiibo Festival was a thing, so I saw Animal Crossing and thought, "EXCUSE ME?"
This is coming from someone whose only WiiU game owned is Amiibo Festival. I just wanted the Isabelle Amiibo.

@@2stepinmidair199
Oh man and did the Isabel amiibo pay off when she came to smash. It was the best game I never played, for including her amiibo. *(btw I didn't buy Amiibo festival until it was $5.)
Fun fact: Amiibo Festival was originally advertised as free-to-play, and then on release day it was sold for a full $60 (plus you still needed to buy extra Amiibos at $13 each). You can also buy the game online for $3 now.
Revolting.
Jeez...that is unreal. It seems like so many companies are interested in pushing the limits of what they can get away with for a quick profit these days.
*D I S G U S T A N G*
I got a physical copy from game stop for $2. Still over paid imo, never even opened the box. I just buy horrible games for my collection. I also have rise of lyric and kidzbop karaoke
But why, why would you even consider to buy the game today?!?
Remember when EA said SIMCITY couldn’t be played without being online and then modders very easily changed the files to remove the always online DRM? That game was a disaster and totally overshadowed by Cities Skylines
I'm still sad about SimCity
Cities Skylines managed to get to the top of the city builder genre in such a small timeframe. Sure the game has definitely a lot going for it but we all know that the true reason is because it came at the right time, had it come say five years prior it would have had success but not that much success because Simcity was still around. EA literally managed to lose basically a near monopoly on a genre because of how bad they handled things, that's peak incompetence, they managed to destroy a money making machine
Why are you reading this ? Paralives is going to do the same for the Sims series now, good riddance honestly

I still can’t believe I spent money on Amiibo Festival
You probably were a blind fanboy fooled by Nintendo. Don't worry, as long as you're matured, you've learnt, and if so, it's all good :)
Perico do you mean by animal crossing?
@@Cyrus_got_verified Amiibo Festival on the WiiU...that game was Mario Party but, slow, boring and requires other products to even play.
Yawl needed to be ultra desperate for AC during that massive AC droudt between New Leaf to New Horizons to actually buy it...

I will never forget the infamous "crying like an anime fan on prom night" ad for Mighty No 9. That was such a ridiculously poor idea for an ad lmao

It just sounds like they're trying too hard to be funny.
I mean its accurate
"Sonic boom is sonic 06 of this generation"
C'mon, we all know fallout 76 is sonic 06 of this generation
That is an insult, even to Sonic '06. At least '06 resembled a game.
Nah it has to be jump force the cutscenes are just like sonic 06
Sonic 06 is actually fantastic as a game for speedrunning because most of its many flaws work in its favor. It's very easy to break and that makes for amazing and consistent skips. Even better, for how crap the game is, it tends to be very stable when it's abused like this. Every now and then, even the most veteran runners who have spent countless hours routinely breaking Sonic 06 will stumble across a trick or glitch they've never seen before, and it's a gift that just keeps on giving.
In comparison, Fallout 76 has been a train wreck on pretty much every level, and there really isn't anything particularly worthwhile that can be done with it, other than using your game disc for skeet shooting.
Paulunatr very interesting I’ll look up some 06 gameplay

@Thomas Johnson the comment was deleted but I think it was about bf2. EA put alot of effort into that. They basically made a new game. Don't undermine it. It is one of my favourite games, but it does get old eventually due to no single player that is long
@Thomas Johnson what about all the free dlc, the clone wars, Scarif, Rise of Skywalker, and other content that’s been added
NMS had to work way harder to get back on its feet. Why? Simple
It was developed by a small indie team whose previous games were 2.5D motorcycle games. They had to live with AAA expectations because big boy Sony stepped in but that meant time constraints. Afaik the moment shit truly hit the fan Sony abandoned the game, Hello Games could've done the same, but they didn't.
What did EA do? They did a shitty apology, tried to do the bare minimum and only after a metric fuckton of pressure from customers and the media they decided to actually try.

That implies the game will come out.
It's amazing to me how companies that have spent decades building a reputation in the industry are willing to throw it away for quick cash. Where I once would have been first in line for a new Bethesda title, now I'm going to wait and see. I just don't even play Blizzard games anymore, since they seem to have nothing but contempt for the fans and developers who got them where they are.
I work for the BNSF Railway and one of the company's favorite sayings comes from Warren Buffett (who basically owns it). "It takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it".
The gaming industry as a whole really needs to think hard about that principle and how it should affect their policies.
Yes but with the stickerstar's stickers and combat:)
Yes but with the stickerstar's stickers and combat:)
The only reason I like Bethesda nowadays is because of doom (2016 and eternal)
Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric was the worst promotional material possible for what turned out to be a pretty good cartoon. Fire and Ice is a solid game thankfully.
But Forces on the other hand
Boom get screwed by Sega itself because the producter didn't realise the game was supposed to be release on Wii U in a short time.
@Grima the Fell Dragon Yes. That's i'll try to say with this. It would be a good game by IF Sega didn't ruin the efforts from the producters to put in a toaster.
@Grima the Fell Dragon Yup. That's Sega for us.
Boom > Sonic X
Can’t believe duke nukem forever was released in 2011, feels so much longer ago
9Years isnt a long time for you? Ok in 9years u can study things get a wife marry her and divorce and have 9 children
DDM Gamer, he didn’t say nine years wasn’t a long time. He said it FELT like it was MORE that nine years.
@@ddm_gamer Tbh you can do that in 1 year, you never said anything about all 9 children having the same mom
But anyway, it might just be me but I feel like Skyrim, AC Revelations or Uncharted 3 were released yesterday (I mean not literally but you know...) but DKF ? I feel like it's always been that pile of trash people love to stomp on
it just got long forgotten.
Just like the short lived beavis and
Butthead revival
I can't remain mad at the No Man's Sky devs; they made a mistake promising us the moon at launch but by this point they have actually given it to us. Game slaps now.
@Fluffynator false
@Fluffynator Haha funny no u word Haha lawl I'm laughing so hard bro 😐
Jesus Christ bro your so funny haha
Well to be honest No man's sky was disapointing when it launched because what people expect from such small studio.
Both sides have a point, the game was absolutely trash and the biggest disappointment of 2016, especially considering this was an indie game developer before and people started talking how greed has seeped into indie games as well. Thankfully, Hello games, the company who made it, did not run away with the hype money, but instead decided to stick to it and fix the game. They have released many patches, bug fixes, dlcs and even VR support, all for free. This is the only game whose value hit 0 and then came back to normal value i.e $20 for second-hand copy. It is still getting updates and everything, and that paid off as people who already has the game started playing again and new people like me got in. I found a video (not new tho) which showed the entire story for the game, it’s called the Engoodening of No man’s sky by internet historian. I suggest anyone who doesn’t know about it to watch it, as it showed the entire story and also made me buy the game.
I like that you framed this as "disappointing" instead of "worst." Like you said, it would be tough and probably uninteresting to just find obscure, terrible games no one heard about
No Mans Sky did NOT have multiplayer at launch. Players coordinated to arrive on the same planets together to test it, and only then did NMS confirm there was no actual multiplayer in the game. They "fixed" that later, but at launch it was smoke and mirrors.
I remember them tweeting out that NMS was not a multiplayer game, yet shortly after that coordination incident happened, they took back their statement
Bro NMS is FANTASTIC you can't judge it from solely release
@@MaxRamos8 no one wants to pay $60 for a game that promises to be good 2 years after release. I'm not paying $60 for a promise. Finish the game first
@@laneydoo7443 To be fair it was Sony's fault.
Dude HG said NMS wasn't going to have multiplayer at launch over 6 months before it came out. Pay attention next time. The game boxes said singleplayer only. Steam said singleplayer only. Etc etc.
I'd argue that the people who said "that's just how Bethesda do" are equally to blame for Fallout 76.
While I mostly agree with you, at the same time, as someone who put many many hours in Oblivion and Fallout 3, I'd argue that Bethesda games, while always nestled in the uncanny valley, were never broken to the point of unplayability for me - and because there were always mod options, there were always ways to fix what the professional designers couldn't -- unfortunately, that's something FO76 lacks for obvious reasons.
I'd say that before 76, Bethesda's three biggest issues were their flat role-playing elements, Todd Howard's chronic verbal diarrhea and parent company 2K's business model of "recurring payment opportunity" microtransaction profit bloodlust - but after 76, Bethesda's ability to even stitch code together on their dinosaur of a game engine to make something even playable is in question.
It'll be really interesting to see if Todd starts shying away from the limelight and letting competent people talk about the games realistically instead.
You could say the same thing about Gamefreak lol
Nobody said "that's just how bathesda do" for Fallout 76. Even die hard fans hated the game. Nobody is to blame for that game except bathesda
@@mufasaiam7794 it's a good thing I was arguing that people were saying that about Fallout 76 then

Disappointing, how? The game is still the biggest online game ever with millions of players. You cannot say it's generally disappointing or bad without sounding like a fool.
Jaz Nought say that, and look at fortnite. just because a game is huge doesnt typically mean its good. people only play it cuz its free and they cant buy better games that do cost money. yes they have competitive scenes, but those are for people who dont want to put it down after they pick it up

@@Charuid It's a "WHAT THE HECk" joke.
It's. A. Joke.
I'll give a small defense to Super Paper Mario. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The catch is, I never played the previous entries. I never even knew it was originally an JRPG type game. To long time fans of the series it is disappointing. To new fans, it's enjoyable.
Then I highly suggest you play them. You'll understand more of why fans are so upset with the modern paper mario games. To me it's just really disrespectful to throw the original fans under the bus like that.
@@autocorrect5456 I played all of the games in the series and my favourite was color splash, I think it's different for everyone, it doesn't matter if they re a long time fan or not
@@GodzillaGamerITA I'd say most of the old fans dislike modern paper mario, myself included. The problem is that they took paper mario and turned it into something really gimmicky and flawed. Not saying you're wrong for it being your favorite, but you should at least acknowledge the extreme change in gameplay and story etc that made people dislike it as a paper mario game. If color splash wasn't a paper mario game then yeah, sure, whatever. But then it wouldn't have sold as well.
Super Paper Mario for Wii is so awesome and full of content, why hate it just because it is not RPG...
I feel Super Paper Mario did a good job bringing classic 2D Mario platforming with RPG elements and a good story.
I love Thousand Year Door and the 64 version as well -- Super Paper Mario did it's own thing in a good way. Sticker Star, like the video mentioned, discouraged combat which made it disappointing imo.

I'm gonna say: Sims 4 at launch was just... So disappointing and a genuine downgrade from the last entry. Issues have been somewhat fixed, but it's still considered the worst entry into the Sims series.
It was the first I played and got extremely bored lmao. Would it be worth playing 3?
@@exoria1098 I personally didn't play 3 much, though I found it way more engaging than 4. Basically, 3 lagged a bit on a lot of PCs due to the open world and massive customisation options. I'm personally playing Sims 2 at the moment. It's basically Sims 4 but with more soul and fun. Plus, you can find the whole thing for free. 🤷
@@Iron_Stigmata might pick that up too then 😊
@@exoria1098 If you do, I'd definitely recommend modding it! The game looks a bit dated, but with some default replacements and stuff it can look downright lovely. 😊
The Sims 3 have framerate drops and long loading times (loading times for Create a Style and visible chothes colors options) for the bad Optimization.
The Sims 4 have framerate drops in places with a lot of plants. (like the San Myshuno Park)
The Sims 3 and 4 have few graphic settings. (GTA 5 have more graphic settings, thanks Rockstar Games)

This is the only comment that isn’t angry or cringeworthy
Those were the first Animal Crossing and Paper Mario games I've ever played.
Maybe I didn't choose the best ones to start with...
Pretty much all of the other animal crossing games are good, if you already have a 3ds, get new leaf. For Paper Mario, either get the original, The Thousand Year Door, or Super Paper Mario. The original and ttyd are more traditional with ttyd being the best in the franchise, and super is different but still very good on it's own merits.
@@TheGamePixelz Thank you for recommending Super Paper Mario. Many people just want to forget it for not being like the first two.
Super Paper Mario is just 👌

Matt Roszak amiibo festival isn’t animal crossing. It’s dumb and horrible and you have to play real animal crossing please get new leaf or new horizons once it comes out.
Check out "The Engoodeing of No Man's Sky" by Internet Historian. It's a really good video on the development issues and improvements of No Man's Sky.
Yeah, that’s a really good in-depth video delving about all the factors that went into the hype and downfall into the game

@@Jacob-rf7ci what the fuck are you talking about
People need to stop taking "this game sucks" as a personal attack, you can like whatever you want, but you have to accept that somewhere in the world will hate it, and probably he will have good reasons to do it, as well as when YOU dont like stuff.
Well what if they have problems with the actual criticisms of the game. I think then you have a good reason to criticize the criticism.
@@Revealingstorm. then you are not taking it personal, you are seen a guy with an opinion that you disagree with, not a guy who is telling you "you are an idiot for liking this"
@@Revealingstorm. the key is "not taking it personal" even if is just something subjective.
for example "i don't like half life because i hate shooters" is an opinion with an extremely subjective argument, but we have to accept it because we all have those kinds of views with different things.
This is what happens when consumerism runs unbound. People are defining themselves by the media they consume, so they attacks on their media personally.
Truthfully, to me, the fact that "AAA" titles weren't covered much in the "best of" video but more in the "disappointing" video shows how much the big lads have fallen from grace lately
Careful with that assumption, because lists like this have a strong inherent bias.
Because of their low budget for advertisement nature, a bad indie game usually stays under the radar unless it was one of those few that had high expectations from the get go (Mighty No. 9 being the easy example).
Meanwhile, a bad AAA game stands out a lot more because those ones have a ton of exposure, especially when compared to indie games.
Modern AAAs are a disgrace
@@Brunosky_Inc The problem in those AAA is that they have a lot of budgets, but tend to prefer using it for com instead of fixing major problems, which would lead to a better appreciation from players (or at least less catastrophic), meaning more sell anyway...
This is all opinion tho. And clearly biased at that. Big lads _always_ made bad games just like indie developers, and I bet snoman has an inclination towards indie games and platformers himself

It’s curious how the majority of the games in this top have been released in the last 4 years
this tells a lot about how bad things have become
@@thedeegeesaga I think it's also related to the increasing possibility in communication and this growing "hype culture", people are teached to expect the hell out of nowadays' games
@@leoguado7454 uh, no. These games were really just shit. Theres no excusing that
Because this video is cobbled together from other creators’ content. None of the footage is original, all of it downloaded from other channels. It’d be too difficult to make a video from older material since it isn’t as easy to find
It's just recency bias. If these picks are based on his polling, people are much more likely to vote for stuff they remember. It doesn't help that the AAA industry is sliding into increasing greed too tho.
I can't believe I actually spent money on Hello Neighbor... broken shell of a neat idea.
I have a friend who insists that it's an actually good game, I tried it out, too clunky and the puzzles aren't that good, just hard.
I got it for free because i'm poor!
I used to constantly refuse the idwa that the game was bad- until I finished it myself. During the beta builds, the glitchiness was expected. But now that the full game is out, it's just sad. To get secret achievements, you literally have to find a hidden "error" and go outside of the half-finished map to different locations. And the final Act was just a huge neighbor in a white room with a bunch of scattered objects, and after that a big empty house with the black shadow outside. If the physics engine wasn't so broken and the devs took the time to polish some of it, it would've been amazing.
No man’s sky is pretty dope, now, too bad they killed the release.

@@ocurtamemes1477 they could and probably had multiplayer (and other promised features) when they said they had, it was probably intended to launch with them too, Sony rushed the game. Doesn't really help Sean Murrey isn't really a PR salesman, just a very passionate dev.
Did people forget about Evolve? I remember so many people hyping it up and when it came out nobody bought it and it got panned by critics.
Oh yes... that waste of $22 that i made?
It was so forgetable that people just forgot it existed
the what?
Hype killed the game. Everyone before launch said it was a Masterpiece So devs thoght that it is True So they didn't Brother changing and fixing. And then we all know what happened.
Evolve had a lot going for it, but it was hindered severely by two things. The first was horrendous DLC. IIRC, every additional monster and hunter had a big price tag attached. Second, mild discrepencies in skill between the monster and the hunters could cause games to be completely one-sided. The game shined when equally-matched sides competed, but matches were brief stomps most of the time
It’s interesting how most of these games are triple A games while the “best games of the decade” list had lots of indie titles.
Marketing has it’s pitfalls, I guess.
Did you know a third of the budget of an AAA game goes into marketing? If a studio had $100M to work with $33,000,000 of it would go into advertising! Tell me exactly how many Star Wars ads have you gotten in the recent days! I've lost count.
@@SomeGuy-my7en I heard that the new Star Wars game is actually good tho.
@KIA: KMH I find myself in this situation way too often. Sometimes EA releases something really special like Titanfall 2, Unravel, Garden Warfare 2 etc. You have 2 options. 1: buy the really good game but give EA your money in the process or 2: don't buy the game, miss out on something cool and let the developers behind the game down. It's so frustrating
@@SomeGuy-my7en I still ain't play titanfall 2. I want to though
Unfortunately the modern market is just full of big corporations using triple A games as a way to get quick money, obviously the game studios want to do their best to genuinely satisfy their fans, but big game corporations just don't care about how a game does. That's why indie games usually do better, for example I have seen Bungie release significantly better content and have better deals/prices since their split from activision. My dad works at bungie so I actually understand what's going on.

What about that alien game that randy lied about? Didn't that make the list?
I’m surprised sword and shield wasn’t on this list.
Hammerless penguinwell it’s because the critics gave sword and Shield an “A+”rating.
Bombman297 critics will praise any Pokémon game these days because it’s Pokémon. All they do these days is blindly praise the games while overlooking the flaws. The pokemon fanbase itself is divided with there opinions on the game. Personally I don’t like sword/shield. Best I can describe it is that it feels like a rushed 3Ds game shoved onto a main console.
its probably because the game was more bad, less disappointing
Pokemon Let's Go was easily worse tho

Hey, disappointing doesn’t always mean “bad”.
Dan Osmond no. No it doesnt. Something may not match your exact expectations or wishes, but can still be a quality game that makes up for it elsewhere.
@Dan Osmond in my opinion, Mass effect Andromeda is a prime example of that. Is the game bad? No, not at all, it's a solid 7/10, very fun and lots of people are having a blast with it (including me). But, is it disappointing? Yes, It could and should have been so much more but what we got isn't bad
Pokémon Sword and Shield disappointed me and many other people greatly, but it’s not a ‘bad game’. And even if it was, that’s a subjective truth only held by myself.
@@Levellled You're never disappointed from something good. Hence what makes it good
@Dan Osmond not necessarily, arkham knight was a fairly disappointing game but it's still good
for me, I would say one of the more disappointing games this decade was "Evolve". that game looked so good and I was very excited about it. It is really unfortunate how quickly that game died.
trickytristan1 I forgot about that game.
I played it for a while, it had a lot of good things going on, IMO, but the balance was pretty wonky and it felt like an early access game that was given a $60 price tag.
that was the first game i ever spent $60 on. middle school me did chores for 2 months straight to earn that game, before getting dumped into a janky early-access-esque game with 15 min+ wait times
Which way was the problem? Was it the humans who were op?
trickytristan1 I was wondering why that wasn’t on the list it was pretty hyped up and then bombed
The shift between Bethesda having great games with funny glitches/terrain/exploits and them obviously trying to shovel out a cash cow with 76 is mind boggling as well as just sad.

@@f1rstaid948 a good indie game is far more rare than a good triple a. There are nearly 10,000 indie games made each year and most of it is garbage compared to maybe 2 dozen triple a games made each year (and I'm probably being generous saying there are 24 triple a games per year).
@@justwait9822 Sure but the thing is, indie games normally come up to be better than triple A games when good, because they're not the product of a corporate machination for cash. That's why the gaming community is so in love with them.
@@skiing4everPS3 it's a very small minority of the gaming community who are into indie games. A successful indie game like undertales sells about 3 million, over 1 mil is great for an indie game. A triple a game that sells 1 million copies is an utter failure that wont recoup the investment. For perspective undertales sold 3 million in 3 years, rdr2 sold 23 million copies in a single fiscal quarter (3 months).
There are plenty of good triple a games that dont have awful microtransaction economies. It's mostly multiplayer games or gaas (games as a service) that have them. Re2 remake, dmc5 had some minor stuff like paying for orbs but red orbs are easily obtainable. Fromsoftware games dont have microtransactions. God of war didn't have any. Spiderman, horizon zero dawn, witcher 3 only had a little dlc and all 3 imo had long enough campaigns to justify a 60 dollar price point. Rockstar games have microtransactions in mp but the single player campaigns for rdr and gta are enjoyable 40 hr experiences without purchasing anything additional.

@@CrusticusGameing Thing is No Man's Sky actually changed. Doesn't change the fact they lied about content that would be in the game at launch, but they cares enough to make it right.

wait what happened? Cube world was really great at the start as far as i remeber. i Mean it was unfinished but....
What happened is Wollay promised a slew of new features then released the game with none of them, changed the progression system entirely (and it's a mess), and now that that's all over he's gone into hiding again. It feels like he just spit out an unfinished game for money again.
I'm a little surprised Pokemon Sword and Shield wasn't on here.
Honestly I loved it, Post game was a bit boring though. Like when you catch the legendaries and beat the whole story, and then what now?

Ha I said the same thing to myself while watching it "you just had to remind me".
9:27 This actually sounds like a good concept to me. Instead of having the main characters be defaulted to, you’d have to work to earn the respect and legend status that they have to unlock them, and that would drive people to get good even more. However if you have to work too much for it, and paying makes it easy to do so, the whole respect thing falls apart.
I love that No Man's Sky has redeemed itself
But by then I feel like it was to late for most people

@@yafirtheorc4685 you are wrong. Original Duke was a spoof of a Generic Action Hero, that didn't take himself too seriously, quoted memorable action movie moments and was endearing. It aimed to remind everyone of all the things that were good about action flics of the time.
DNF on the other hand full of cringeworthy self-wanking devoid of self awareness and humour that is much more low-brow than original. The quotes it has are demeaning of the other action flics ("power armor is for pussies" after all), and full of stuff that goes against original Duke character (like his comment about the twins in their last moments). Tonally its almost the opposite of the original.
You forgot to mention how Battlefront 2 got a major overhaul a year ago that completely got rid of the lootboxes and made all the characters free to play, with free content drops every few months and an entirely overhauling levelling system. It became the game everyone wanted.

Really didn’t do Battlefront justice in this video. The loot boxes and expensive heroes were only in the game for the first few weeks and were completely removed. The game was still extremely fun and has gotten so much better now. It’s not at all disappointing
Could you elaborate on that? I think the last I played was around the time The Last Jedi premiered. There was some faction thing going on/was ending at the time. I can't remember if the loot crates were still there, but I didn't play a whole lot then. I mean, Origin doesn't want to connect to the Internet anyway, but I always thought the gameplay itself was pretty good. The star cards were an interesting concept.
jedimasterpickle3 well I just think that this video should have mentioned that Battlefront 2 got a lot better from its launch instead of criticizing the whole game purely based on the state of the game it was in at launch. If he talked about the game as it is now it would be a different story. The game has changed most notably in the progression system which many people tended to criticize about the game when it first launched, but now it actually rewards you for playing certain heroes and troopers with skill points which you use to unlock cards. And the loot box thing didn’t even make it past the first week so I’m not sure why so many people are upset about it.
@@brian1603 Yeah, would only be fair since No Man's Sky's update was mentioned. The skill point-based progression system sounds interesting, though. So if you play well you gain access to better equipment? And I think the crates lasted for more than just a week, but I stopped playing a while ago
jedimasterpickle3 well the crates did last for more than a week but the ability to pay fir them was gotten rid of within a week. And yeah if you play a lot of a certain character you’ll be rewarded with the ability to unlock better cards for them.
jedimasterpickle3 i agree. The game is most certainly not in the worst games of the decade. I would put it in the top 20 personally.
I almost had a heart attack when you showed footage of Dragon Age Inquisition (my favorite game)... but it was just a lead-up to Anthem. Thank God.

@@chadchaddingson4675 I'm pretty sure there were healing spells in Inquisition. I basically spammed Vivienne, Solas, and Dorian to be mega healing mages.
Actuallt not surprised of seeing mostly AAA in this list
You shouldn't be. The reason they are the MOST disappointing, is because they are ones with MOST expectations.
I mean, that's why people ended up being disappointments. HYPE is usually only instilled by AAA publishers, only to let us down when the end product doesn't mean the standard.
When an indie fails, it's just that: an indie developer that fail - those are like a dime in a dozen.
The thing is: an indie game fails? Ok,so people dont buy it or refund it or give a bad opinion and thats it.
AAA often fail to deliver, but people still buy it because reasons and the companies also engage in profitable but grey practices just because people will still pay for that.
Biggest example is fallout 76: we all say its horrible, and bethesda did everything wrong,but still players kept playing it and some actually bought the premium pass for the private servers that, to no surprise, went wrong and failes in many ways.
Indie games mostly dont have microtransactions or things to make you spend more money, and even the ones that do,have a somewhat decent player base and good reviews.
POLINCHI what’s AAA???
Echo Space triple A games, by triple A developers, like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Bethesda,etc.
For me it was probably Mirror's Edge Catalyst. I was such a huge fan of the first one, beaten it numerous times, so my hype for a sequel was through the roof and I even pre-ordered it. When it was actually released I was really disappointed and I haven't pre-ordered a non-Nintendo game since.
Kayla Wilson so why didn’t you like it?
But why pre order anything, ever?
I bought the special edition with the statue. I didn't pay full price thankfully but had a good time. Definitely didn't deliver and I still like the original much better.
Yeah- there were a lot of really bad sequels/follow-up games this decade... Halo 5 was the first game in the series I flat out refused to buy, and Metal Gear Survive was apparently it's own tier of bad design...
I like Catalyst for what it is.....but the story is still trash, the open world thing is kinda meh, combat also meh, and it's not as fun to just run the same map over and over to break your previous record. Like, I'll give it a B- but I expected a lot more.

The thing is, Resident Evil 6 was NOT a bad game, even if it felt disapointing for RE fans for deviating so much from the survivor horror genre, it's still a pretty fun game.
As disappointed as re fans may be, in itself re 6 is a fun action game. Pple just bitching cause its no longer horror

I still like sticker star for what it is but i wouldn't blame anyone for putting it on this list
I get why people didn't like it, but I don't get why it would be on the list over Color Splash, which is basically just the same game but with a way more tedious combat system thanks to the forced Gamepad stuff.
My personal biggest problem with Sticker Star is the way they handled tutorials and puzzle solutions. Contrary to the hand-holdy nature of most games around this time, it practically bends over backwards to not tell you anything. It doesn’t explain action commands or give boss hints. While this can be refreshing for some, I feel it goes too far. Not helping is Kersti’s lack of help in this with hints. Heck, I was stuck on 2 different puzzles that exemplified this: one expected you to hit/know exist invisible blocks to make a bridge while on a moving boat over a poison river and one to use a lightbulb to light up a dark room. I found the light bulb early; the issue was that it was context sensitive and flat out told me I did the wrong thing (when it only works after clearing chapter 3).
@@KevinCow at least color splash has dialogue and better graphics I guess.
I think everyone just knew Color Splash wasn't gonna be any good, and by Wii U sales, not as many people played it, therefore not so many people ended up disappointed 😁

That game was anticipated as a good sequel for the popular Playstation exclusive series of LBP but instead was rushed to release with a boring story mode, and a bunch of game breaking bugs such as data corruption and being unable to play with your friends because the multiplayer was that broken.
It killed the franchise and most of the community moved back to the 2nd game, which has like 900 people online concurrently at peak hours.
@Joe they took way too long to fix the bugs
In my opinion Battlefront 2 really didn't have a good launch but just like No Mans Sky it really became a good and complete game, so I don't think it deserves to be this low.
True, it's just the awful launch that may it on the list.
Jasper F. I agree the game is really fun now unlike its disappointing launch
Jasper F. It has come full circle, with great free dlc, awesome game modes it’s a fantastic game. But at launch and for a few months it was a huuuuuge disappointment.

I’m not gonna lie, when Sonic Boom was coming out, I actually wanted it to be a great game, but not because I wanted to play it, more because of how it effected the fandom.
To elaborate, while I enjoy a good chunk of Sonic games to an extent, I hadn’t considered myself a fan since the GameCube era ended after I was a little kid, and I’ve seen how absolutely terrible the fandom could be after spending enough of my high school years on the internet. I did not especially care about Boom or the new designs, but I did think that everyone going ballistic over them was an over exaggeration. They finally got Sega to try something different with the character after spending a decade arguing about the side characters, the different gameplay mechanics, the dialogue, etc, and I was hoping that getting an objectively great game with a design that they did not like would be considered some kind of “did you do it? What did it cost you?” Trade off.
In the end, the spinoff franchise went barely anywhere aside from the cartoon, and there hasn’t even been a proper Sonic game since Forces (Mania was great, yeah, but Forces came out afterwards). At this point I only feel bad for kids who got that game for Christmas
Hasn't even been a proper Sonic game since Forces...
How old do you think Forces is? It's not very old?
It’s true that it’s only 2 years old, but really all that’s happened since then is Team sonic racing and the 2020 Tokyo games, there doesn’t appear to be anything coming up soon either. It’s not a huge gap, sure, but considering there was basically a main series game every year for such a long while, this is a noticeably longer gap than they’d usually have.
the joke is,sonic boom was not even made by sega and was aspiring to be a good game,but then sega blew it by forcing shadow in,throwing it on wiiu(because they still had a deal with nintendo and them not wanting to develop a game themselves that might have actually been compatible with the system) and demanding that it has to be a canonical prequel to the show that nobody at the time knew what it was about...and have it release on the same day as the show. Sega actually deserves the hate for the game they get. I do not know if the game would have been amazing if they did put it on ps4 and let the team do their thing,but I assume it would have been one of the better sonicgames in the last decade instead of being the worst.
Modern Sonic is a disgrace
