Marvel's Avengers should have took in as much heart as the Spider-Man game. And after this the Midnight Suns game was as popular as this should have been. Earth's Mightiest Heroes deserves the mightiest game!
@@marcusyates3044 The Avengers deserved better.
@@marcusyates3044
It did, the game was created by a lot of heart, crystal dynamics did a great job with it. But you insomniac soyboys had to come in and ruin everything all because it wasn’t perfect
Nearly every AAA game since 2019.
@@emperora9
Avengers is a great game
Choo Choo Charles isn't TERRIBLE. It may have fallen short but it is by no means a terrible game, considering it has been developed mostly by a single person.
Yeah so it’s proof that the narrator in the video is an absolute dunce
Yeah they were just going to hard on the indie developer 😢
Yeah this guy didn't care, if he hates it. He'll make a video
@@evolancer211& use his criticism of Short Message to defend his earlier criticism of Choo Choo Charles (“oh I actually struggle with depression so don’t hate on me for having personal issues with a mediocre release”)
The saddest part of Kill The Justice League is the disrespect toward Kevin Conroy considering this game is his final act as Batman before his death. Batman should NOT have been treated as he was in this game.
So true kevin deserves better than this shit 😤 😪
Well before his death Kevin Conroy recorded lines for Chris on Infinite Earth part 3
Supposedly he enjoyed playing an evil Batman. Too bad it had to be in Arkham continuity where he preached to high heaven that he would never kill, and proceeded to kill nearly everyone in Metropolis. *sigh* Not impressed
cry me a damn river
and he wasn't the only batman that dc murdered on screen
I feel like Suicide Squad should be ranked worse, but it was the first one shown
Thisn't a ranked list.
Well, they made a whole video with that game pitted against Square's Avengers to see which is the worse of the two, and the aforementioned game was the loser as Suicide Squad has some potential to get better over time.
@@Fictionboy16 Square's Avengers has a better MODOK than the MCU but that's a low bar.
I'm surprised Sonic '06 wasn't on the list. The game held so much promise, and yet it drove Sega to abandon the Adventure formula altogether
Wasn’t Choo Choo Charles made by a single person? Kind of unfair putting it on this list compaired to the others
Yeah cuz the other games had teams working on them while this was just made by one dude.
Calling Alpha Protocol terrible is certainly an interesting opinion.
It definitely has its problems, mainly bugs but calling it terrible is pretty harsh.
I really enjoyed Choo Choio Charles, the game was made by one person so that was really cool too.
We need a new Marvel ultimate alliance game
thats NOT switch exclusive
@@keyblader2k6exactly when I saw the trailer and gameplay I was like what did they do to my boy!
Alpha Protocol is AMAZING, what are you guys talking about? Sure its clunky, but so is Fallout new vegas. You can still appreciate something for all its faults.
Marvel's Avengers should have took in as much heart as the Spider-Man game. And after this the Midnight Suns game was as popular as this should have been. Earth's Mightiest Heroes deserves the mightiest game!
They literally did. You people just hated it because it wasn’t developed by your masters at insomniac. Leave it to an insomniac soyboy to ruin everything
They truly deserved better.
@@jeuryrabassa4724
Avengers already did do better. The game is awesome
Not only the Spider-Man games but also Guardians of the Galaxy.
@@Mr.Drew70So much better that the servers were shut down?
Call me a child and a fool but from my point of view Choo choo charles is a decent game... I mean... It's a little repetitive but is fun to play to explore...
It absolutely sucks that Megaman X, a character I always wanted to appear in the VS Capcom series, debuted in the worst one. Being an X fan is suffering…..
Alpha Protocol is brilliant. Basically a 3rd person Deus Ex (with everything that entails). No major game (aside of maybe Dontnod with Vampyr) really tried to re-create the choice and consequence system.
The technical side was a mess, and Taipei was a bugfest, I won't lie. But the core is amazing, GOG re-release fixed some bugs, and re-playing with different convo styles gives you ridiculously varied story outcomes. And it's actually short enough to warrant multiple playthroughs.
Redfall and Suicide Squad are games I might buy on sale, if they implement proper offline modes.
When you realize you enjoy more *terrible* games than expected 😅 lol
Choo Choo Charles is terrible? Ugh
They judged the game to harshly considering the fact that the game was created on a small budget because of one person 🤔
Honorable Mentions:
*Agony
-This could've been so good, but the game had some albatross's around its neck. The game's enemies can seemingly spot you no matter where you're hiding, the possession mechanic doesn't give you any clarity if it's working at all, and dialouge replays from the beginning when it hit the halfways point of the line.
To be honest, I didn't get far into the game. I spent literally one day with the game before I returned it in disgust.
*Balan Wonderworld
-What was supposed to be the spiritual successor to Nights ended up being one of the worst games of 2021. If you want a similar concept done right, LOOK AT PRINCESS PEACH SHOWTIME!
*Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)
-The one thing we can all agree that this game did right: The soundtrack was freaking awesome! But that's the only good thing the game has going for it. The rest is history.
*Metroid Other M
-What should've been a high octane 3rd person action game with an engaging story turned into a dumbed down flanderization, ESPECIALLY concerning Adam Malkovich, the TRUE villain of Other M.
At least Battlefront: Classic Collection was a hell of a lot better than all the recent Battlefront games published by EA.
Yeah the online play is trash and there are some glitches but if u play at home with a bud or fam than it's still fine as a couch co op
It’s only been out for a month as well
@@zacharywilson3571 Yeah, plus the game isn't abandoned at least. They doing beta updates on the SteamDB page. So we need too give it some time.
@@jordanromero7835 I haven't had any issues yet
I’ve enjoyed it but then again I’ve only been playing the single player stuff. I played through all the galactic conquests in Battlefront 2 and am now gonna focus on playing through the single player campaigns of the first game. It had its flaws but overall all I wanted was to play the old battlefront games again and the collection delivered just that.
Fully intend to pickup Star Wars Battlefront 2 classic edition
Just waiting for price to go down.
(Most the hate was regarding the online, I'm a solo player 👍)
Alpha protocol is actually a great game, just very glitchy, It like mass effect but with military and spies.
Kao The Kangaroo was at least fun to play
It had sound issues. Wasn't there at least one cutscene where the background audio was too loud that you could barely hear the characters? How did they miss that?
it was unforgivable how they treated arkham batman. reminds me so much of tlou 2
Like i give a shit. Serves you right for the way you treated the Avengers game
Especially with the passing of Conroy. The way SS handled that is disgraceful.
@@Infurno924
How were they supposed to know he was going to pass away? That wasn’t their fault.
At least TLOU2 had a point
Can't speak for Arkham but TLOU2 was a great game.
Don't understand the hate...
Marvel's Avengers had the potential to be good if the critters kept their promises to add additional content to the game
Marvel vs Capcom deserves redemption
Anthem flying mechanics were so well done that it can at least make for a good Superman game.
I was very surprised the Outriders was not on this list. I was so hyped but the repetitive nature with so little return on time investment really killed it for me.
I loved choo choo Charles, watching I mean, not playing it. But what "press start to laugh" did with it was historical 😂
The Battlefront Collection really hurts. I really thought it was going to be in regular rotation for my multiplayer sessions for a long time. So much fun. It was almost comically bad
Aren't the Devs fixing it update by update?
It was terrible right at launch, but I saw around 2 weeks ago they released a big update that fixed a ton of the main issues with the collection.
However I can't accept the change on the loading screen sounds.
@peterGchaves they might be buy it's to late. Not enough people's playing anymore
I don't get how they screwed up games this old. It's just not excusable
@@peterGchaves It wasn't an intentional change, it was a bug and they fixed it.
There's a free to play Vampire battle royale game on PS5 and PC called Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt. It was one of those games that was horrible at first but now with the updates it's a good game.
Easily Anthem, the reveal gameplay made you basically Ironman
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite isn't terrible, lackluster in someways for sure, but I wouldn't put it in the same list as Resident Evil 6 or Avengers.
I honestly don’t hate the Battlefront duo. It’s kinda the exact same as the OG from my experience and I’m not expecting flawless crisp multiplayer from a 20 year old game
Same. I play online and for the most part it's just as I remember it.
Marvel vs capcom infinite had great gameplay and amazing netcode for the online. That more than makes up for its shortcomings. Shouldnt be considered terrible
You can honestly blame Disney for how they made it not as possible to bring back the X-Men from the 3rd entry making up a sizeable chunk of that roster. The proportions + making it now 2v2 instead of 3v3 are also negatives.
@@CyanLater Earlier MVC entries started out as 2v2s, so a little regression isn't a bad idea, given how long it's been since UMVC3 came out.
Bringing the series into 3D was to a LOT of people where it started to go downhill despite using more or less the same engine they used for Street Fighter 5.
Capcom should team up with Ark System Works for a complete reboot of the franchise and return it to its 2D roots while also being more modern gameplay wise.
presentation matters quite heavily. you can have the best job resume in the world along with numerous glowing letters of recommendation but show up to a job interview looking like a slob and acting like a jerk and im pretty sure you wont get hired.
@@CyanLater but disney doesnt explain why the capcom side of the roster had to suffer too. i cant recall many fans legitimately wanting nemesis or firebrand to return.
I liked Tiny Tina. It was by no means fantastic, but I have to admit that I spent a lot of time grinding in that game.
Alpha Protocol is one of my favourite games ever!! I honestly don’t get the hate.
In last year when I've finally got a PS5, I promised for myself Forspoken will be my first PS5 game and it was, i'm just 1% of people who dosen't hate, I love Forspoken it's Story, Fantasy World and fun, powerful and beautiful Main Character who's a female, love the New Way of Games where the Protagonist is woman. I have Fnaf: Secuirity Breach on Switch and I like that game too, yes I like diffrent Fnaf games than other Fnaf fans. But about of the Game what had the Potential to be Amazing is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, I've been interested and excited for Suicide Squad game, just because I like DC a little more than Marvel and Harley Quinn is my favourite Cartoon and Villain Character of All Time, Harley Quinn is our Bloody Queen, but I haven't bought that game, because I've been heard too much bad of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but I want to believe it's worth it on Sale as a 39.97€ a 40€ price on PS5. I have a good video idea: 20 Games that have the Potential for a Sequel what fans wants, but dosen't have it like Sly Cooper 4 Thieves in Time. Love you MojoPlays! 💙🎮
Kane and Lynch. I was excited for the potential of that game but damn it...
Bad thing is that it wouldn't take a whole lot to fix it. Just polish the gameplay more and it could easily have been done.
Obviously, the live service didn't help, but what really made Suicide Squad disappointing for me was the writing. The fact that they added the Justice League into the Arkhamverse raises many questions. Why didn't any of them come to help Bruce during Arkham Knight? Why bring Batman into the game when everyone's supposed to believe that he's dead? Why leave out Cyborg and Aquaman? Why not include them instead of Batman? Why not make an Arkham Knight follow-up with Robin become Batman's successor? Honestly, this did not feel like a Rocksteady game
Anthem is probably the one that hurts the most! Such an amazing concept and the flying was really good! Shame they abandened it 😢
I would call Panzer Dragoon "Remastered " terrible. MvC Infinite was okay but but "terrible??"
You guys missed one, 007 LEGENDS, a James Bond game retelling 5 classic Bond movies, but it took the call of duty approach and feels like it was made by people who had never watched the films themselves.
Avengers still breaks my heart. The IP had so much potential and Marvel Studios is still my favorite thing in entertainment, but that game was so shoddily thrown together to be such a dull cash vacuum that its existence is offensive. Square Enix were doing so good with their other Western IPs at the time as well like Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Hitman.
Command and Conquer 4, Empire Earth III, and sequels of Warhammer 40k DOW = only if they follow this words of wisdom in question form, "Why fix if it ain't broken?"
Terrible is probably a strong word for a lot of these games. Sure, they weren't great or even good but a lot of these were just mediocre or had major issues that the otherwise good parts didn't cancel out. Can't speak to them all but Avengers was not terrible. It could have been better for sure but terrible is pretty strong. The King Kong game that recently came out is terrible. Most of these games at least have some redeeming qualities that make them worth a shot.
The Best Terrible Games I found to be Absolutely Amazing and Awesome to Play are:
1. Marvel's Avengers
2. Choo-Choo Charles
3. Kao the Kangaroo (2022)
4. Forspoken
5. Mighty No. 9
6. Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
7. Resident Evil 6 (I don't care what those haters think about RE6. It's a Awesome and Badass RE Game!)
These are all the Best Terrible Games that have the potential to be Awesome and Amazing to Play for me.
That’s Riiiiiiight Forget Them Haters
@@brandonrobinson529 Exactly dude.
With the Battlefront collection it came out right off of the heels of the Tomb Raider Remasters which were also made by Aspyr and were heavily praised so I think some hype carried over from that since those remasters are considered to be some of the best remasters ever made. I honestly think Aspyr should stick to remasters of single player games since idk if they have a good grasp on online multiplayer games.
Battlefront Classic Collection while good for me. Was a huge letdown for many. People were SO hyped for the game when it was announced. But it was released in such a poor state. At least Aspyr has responded too the criticism and are looking too patch the game up. That shows on the SteamDB page. It's been getting updates behind the scenes mostly daily. Some taking a few days. Some being less than a day. So they haven't abandoned it at least. I do hope things will get better for the game.
Don't buy Battlefront Collection I did 44/45 of its achievements on Steam & the unlock all one did not pop upon doing so. Worse Aspyr hasn't even responded to the support system for others in months, I'm currently at a week & a half hearing nothing.
Wait ... why is Kotaku "controversial?" What have I missed?
Wonderlands wasn’t “terrible”.
It was a fun mid shelf game, which has enjoyability while playing it safe.
Marvel's The Avengers could have be amazing with a different studio
It IS amazing. Crystal Dynamics did a great job with the game
Crystal dynamics may have been forced to make It a live service game
@@m1tch506
It was Crystal Dynamics’s choice to make it live service. And it went well
We need a new Marvel vs. Capcom game.
Atomic Heart. It could have been as epic as Wolfenstein 2 but was sleep inducing boredom.
Callisto Protocol was a complete disappointment
I really hate these rushed remasters that are buggy to the point where they are unplayable or content limited where the price tag is a rip off.
The Battlefront duo were great titles on Gen 6 and it sucked that the third title fell through because Free Radical went bust after the 2008 credit crunch.
Dice really ruined hopes for a revival thanks to EA's greedy attempt at Loot crates and now some studios can't even take the time to remaster original classics.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League killed itself.
Kao also had some sound issues. There was one cutscene where the background noise was so loud I could barely hear the characters. Did no one proof check this shit? It wasn't that subtle.
QUEEEEN BUTT STALION!
AEW Fight Forever sucks forever.
Redfall fell.
22:17 Does Hulk have a beard?
Saw the classic collection in the thumbnail, had to dispute it, yeah it's occasionally buggy but overall it's amazing to me
Mighty no. 9 had that trailer which was more like a plea to make people buy the game. It's as if they were begging us to buy it. It was free on playstation plus a few years ago on both the PS3 and PS4.
Only 3 servers for the battlefront collection?? Oh come on aspyr😢
Marvel's Avengers and SSKTJL had promise if they weren't live service
Anthem will always be the one that hurts me the most. They chased a trend instead of defining it as it's own thing. Honestly, EA should take a page from Helldivers 2 book and revisit the IP. It doesn't need endgame or even a ton of different mission types. It sure as s*** doesn't need loot. It just needs to be fun.
I heard that Choo Choo Charles was Good game. This is the first time i heard. Are you sure about this? Hmm🤔
The minute a game is live service that is a RED FLAG
What about Star Fox Zero? I'm honestly wanting a Switch port
Thoughts on doing a remake of the "Borderlands" games?
We all never asked for SS KTJL
What awful game did you think had some genuine promise? Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly and Paper Mario: Sticker Star. That Spyro game killed the franchise for me.
Forspoken is amazing it got unnecessary hate
Regardless of the hate Resident Evil 6 gets, i enjoyed it and it was still the second highest selling game in the series
I want a new Avengers game from insomniac
The Super Bowl On Nickelodeon (2024) Boy The NFL has really sold out and In my opinion was more rigged than American Gladiators (1989-1996) the goddamn Kansas City Chiefs won Spongebob and Dora The Explorer just made things worse
wow that's a bad joke
Suicide Squad has a solid story hahahaha absolutely not
Every game that combines a random word with “fall,” to make a stupid word, sucks...
I feel like im the only person who enjoyed tiny tinas wonderlands 😂 top to bottom was a very fun experiance, didnt rate the DLC but the main story i thought was fun along with the powers, classes and gunplay
seriously five night at freddy security breach on list priceless
I don't mean to be rude:
But how the hell did Gotham Knights not make it on this list
Seriously, I Don't Know Why Anyone Does Anything if They're Not Willing to Go All Out! It's Pointless and Illogical to Put Forth So Much Time and Effort if All Your Going to Do is a Half Asked Job and End Up with a Hot Mess, of JACK SQUAT!!!
I knew Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was gonna be trash because it was being made by WB Montreal. The same people that made Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights. Those games had massive potential to be awesome but ended up being HOT GARBAGE! Yah, It's a Rocksteady game but if you compare it to Arkham Knight, City, Asylum... LMFAO.. Major downgrade in everything.
oh come on not Alpha Protocol Added On The List I played the hell outta of that game it may had some problems or not and ended on a cliffhanger because they where plains for sequels
I really really miss the marvels avengers game I thought that game might have been good
Oh get the hell out of here saying alpha protocol was terrible it's still to this day a great game to play
I Enjoyed RE6 and Marvel's Avengers i played Tiny Tina's Wonderlands i thought it was an ok game seemed to me it seemed like just a glorified version of the Borderlands 2 DLC
I liked avengers and then heard what made it terrible it needs a lot of work
I liked and enjoyed alpha protocol, having it on pre order over a year.
Is the Battlefront Classic Collection the worst game of 2024 so far?
Ya wanna know more about MvCi watch Matt mcmuscles what if on MvCi
The game is still good gameplay wise but everything else was bad
DON'T REMIND ME OF FUCKING MIGHTY NO 9! EASILY KEIJI INAFUNE'S BIGGEST MISTAKE THAT HAUNTED HIM SO BADLY THAT HE'S THE 2ND LAUGHING STOCK OF GAMING DEVELOPERS NEXT TO YUJI NAKA WHOM HE WAS IN JAIL FOR INSIDER TRADING! WHILE MEGA MAN 11 REDEEMED THE PAST MISTAKES, IT STILL LIVE ON THROUGH MY BAD MEMORIES OF THE DARK AGE OF CAPCOM 2011-2018! I HOPE THAT THE NEXT NINTENDO CONSOLE SHOULD BE 4K JUST FOR THENEXT MEGA MAN GAME! AND INAFUNE BETTER NOT MAKE THE SIMILAR MISTAKE AS YUJI NAKA! If there's a Dishonorable Mentions, it would be Sonic 06, Star Fox Zero, Metroid Other M, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night Switch version, Final Fantasy 13 series, the 2nd half of Mega Man X series, & Haunted Castle. ALL THOSE MISTAKES THAT'S HAUNTED THEIR RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS!
This is going to get me a death sentence but.... I don't think Resident Evil 6 is that bad
I know that’s right
Suicide squad kill the justice league story solid! Solid! What are you guys smoking Kevin Conroy deserved better than what we got, they disrespected every member of the league except wonder woman, and king shark getting a green lantern ring when in continuity the ring seeks out a new lantern.
Anthem would have been so much better if it was a single play game and I was really looking forward to a Star Wars Battlefront remaster which would have been the dog's bollocks, that's a good things by the way. So yeah lets keep hoping the developers will one day give the fans what they want, an amazing game that is perfect in so many ways... NOT!
Why no Duke Nukem Forever?
Avengers is a way better game than suicide squad tho
Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite was NEVER gonna be good, it was dead on arrival
I have only disagree with AEW fight forever It's not a terrible game well yes it has some issues. The gameplay was something more fun and entertaining remember it's their first game they will improve along the way when it comes to that.
Forspoken SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST
No most of the sisters dialogs were fucking terrible
Fossil Fighters Frontier
If tinys tinas wonderland is so bad then why is it getting a sequel then
I didn't mind the AEW and of course wwe game was pulling in bigger numbers it's the bigger name
all the games that I like tend to suck
marvel avengers
outriders
anthem
godfall
babylons fall
suicide squad
Gotham knights
diablo 4
first descendant
riders republic
sd gundam battle alliance
stranger of paradise
wild hearts
and upcoming games I want to win will also fail
Gundam Breaker 4
mecha break
throne and liberty
blue protocol
chrono odyssey
the only game I can see winning is path of exiles 2 and monster hunter wilds... and obviously gta 6
