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! ^^*)

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.
I had the same reaction haha "Animal Crossing?! Hello?! Wait... Unless it's that one for the Wi- "Amiibo Festival" "Right, forgot about that one, nah, you good."

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
@@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...
2:13 "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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
@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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
@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.
I really like this video because it does feel wholesome. There's no crazy amount of loud swearing, bitter vitriol, or anger. It's just a calm, more objective analysis and I respect that.
@@cicifuentes5685 That is exactly what I like about Sno. Delivers his opinion ins a way where not a lot of people will be offended. It's like he actually cares about the fact other people have different opinions. His NES video however was not the best when it comes to delivery.
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!
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.
12:00 - "This was a deceptive and manipulative attempt at getting as much money as possible from their die-hard fans." Well... That's just how Bethesda do.
@@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
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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. 🤷
@@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)
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.
@@braydenborrell my point was Bathesda's previous games were good enough we would write off the glitches. But that doesn't mean fallout 76 is the result of those people
@@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
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'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.
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.
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.
@@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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@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
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.
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.
@@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.
@@July-pg5bq Void Termina. But I see your point. Hopefully the next Kirby game really revamps the series into something greater. Personally I'm just tired of 2D Kirby and want a change.
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.
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
@@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. Look at a game like Fallout 76, where a Triple-A company would rather milk it's 10 remaining players out of all they have then actually make a half-decent game
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.
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.
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
8:00 I got this game for Christmas in 2012. I completed it, found every optional objective, and unlocked everything so quickly, that I was able to return it to my local Wal-Mart while they were still accepting gift returns.
Dynasty Warriors 9. That game broke my spirit and now I can never trust again. No game has made me as genuinely sad as that one and I will never pre-order a game again.
cus a lot of AAA games like disco elysium and Bloodborne and the witcher deserve it don't know why i just called fucking disco elysium aaa, but it is a cut above anything else
@@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. There are like 20-30 indie games released on steam daily. Did you play any of the roughly 150-200 indie games released on steam this week?
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.
The list is pretty spot on, although i'd argue the born dead Artifact deserved a spot. I dont know which one id replace, but holy shit it was a slap in the face of valve fans and dota fans alike.
@Cameron Hancock I don't understand how they can cancel a game like star wars 1313 and silent hills and put out a game like that 💀 when I was younger big rigs caused my friend to have a seizure because when you go back up you go like 120 miles per hour looking like the flash, and he couldn't take it, that's how much of a broken piece of 💩 big rigs is 😂 how was that even released? 😂😂😂
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.
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.
They’ve never been good. It started going down as soon as Todd Howard became director back in Morrowind. Horse Armor, anyone? Daggerfall was the peak of the series.
I still remember the misery that was the final months leading up to Mighty no 9's release. My heart was shattered when the game finally released, it was like the second death of Mega Man. Thankfully Mega Man 11 came to reinvigorate the series.
Fortunately, Battlefront 2 has become a great game. All the bullshit monetization is gone, and the game is ripe with content. I'm actually getting it soon.
I love how respectful you are :) It feels good to find someone who doesn't poke fun at game designers and the fans for cash and views. Thank you for being awesome!
Thats ur opinion... the game has grown after its release with new free updates (no dlc) over the past 2 years. And NMS Beyond really made it better, with a lot of things that they promised us from the start... buuuut... its your opinion!
its even more shocking that games that are debatably good like Kingdom Hearts 3, Skyward Sword, and Final Fantasy 13 were in the running and shown off in the video, and yet ACM wasnt. truly bad games through and through were completely ignored, so he could get some digs in at games he simply didnt like.
@@steveh1474 both kh3 and skyward sword are pretty good games, just not the games that their fans expected to be.

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 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.
Beelzebub No. Every cod sp is a fun shooter in its own form. Every cod game is uniqe yet really same like. Thats why most people dont like cod. But i play them becaus the singleplayers are really polished and enjoyable(not including bo3,even tho that game brought some really needed changes).
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.
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).
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 😁
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.
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
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.
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.
In my opinion, because this list is entirely based on public input, it's got a serious slant towards newer games. Like, being perfectly honest, games like Anthem (which frankly shouldn't be on the list) being higher than Duke Nukem Forever really goes to show how forgetful people really can be. Like, anyone here remember EVOLVE? Watch_Dogs? Destiny? (either of them) Remember how collectively disappointing they were? Those should absolutely be here.
Honestly i really expected EVOLVE to be in this list. That Game was a real let down. Especially after learning that you could get "game" much cheaper as time has gone by.
@Mark Allen Moreso than Destiny? Watch Dogs? Higher than Duke Nukem Forever? It's disappointing, sure, but after ME:A came out, a lot of people stopped caring about ANTHEM, and apathy is nowhere near as strong as disappointment.
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? At least it wasn't like the let's go games
DynaMark_72 Yes because apparently a multi billion dollar company can’t make better games than indie devs who sacrifice their lifes to make games **cough** Undertale **cough**
@chuckie Lbc thats how i felt with mass effect andromeda. Ive probably played the original trilogy like easily 30 times 100% no joke. Bought andromeda day 1 and after playing it half way i felt how shitty the story really was..
@chuckie Lbc gameplay was solid. But man the story was just bland and flavorless. It really showed that it wasnt made by a big budget team. I didnt rly care about the models and how bad the facial animations were. But the story made me just drop it halfway
Honestly, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam was probably the most disappointing game I played this decade. Similarly to how Sticker Star stripped the Paper Mario series of its creativity and personality, Paper Jam is completely devoid of any originality in terms of NPCs, enemies, bosses, and environments the Mario & Luigi series is known for. More than that however, it is astonishing how an official crossover between two of the most creative Mario RPGs could turn out to be so bland and uninspired. The game itself is fine; the combat is as satisfying as ever, and there aren't a ton of bugs. But that's the worst part about it for me. It could've been so much more than just a decent game.
I think it is mario and luigi game with the most programming errors actually. not saying that to degrade the game because they rarely ever play into the normal experience,just wanted to mention. when it comes to the game being uninspired,I kinda get the vibe that they wanted to make something amazing and iconic,but then went in the opposite direction to make it be more in line with stickerstars storyquality...the worst part of it,I mean) they had new mechanics,a really interessting idea for a plot and even had some cool conflicts thought out,but then they just kinda made the missing toads never ending,had the bowsers just be generic final bosses,had no interaction between the worlds that felt really fun to experience or to have an everlasting impact on either franchise aside from them teasering the koopalings and a few stackenemies appearing in color splash,etc.
@@lpfan4491 Yeah, you hit a lot of good points there. Paper Jam just didn't do a whole lot for either series in general. For what it's worth, I don't hate the game. There's still some enjoyment to be had with it, but it pales in comparison to every other game before it.
Paper Jam is the perfect example of why things other than gameplay and style are important. Unlike Sticker Star which was exclusively style over substance, this game was actually really good gameplay-wise with a decent difficulty and a well-constructed overworld that encourages you to pick up leftover items you missed the first time around. I‘d go as far as arguing that gameplay-wise, it is the best Mario&Luigi game. But what does all that gameplay help if the story is bland? What do the fun battle mechanics help when the enemies you battle are literally cardboard cutouts of enemies Mario fights all the time? Why would you care if you die if you don’t feel there is as much at stake as in the first three games of either series?
Rainpooper sticker star also has horrible story. The only way I had fun was a no damage from enemies challenge. Actually possible but the route is super convoluted ( for example you have to almost complete the last level grab the trumpet go enter the forest to get the sponge ( which blocks all damage from enemies for a few turns) and then you gotta rush to beat bosses before the sponge runs out and while using water weapons to prevent the enemy from using attacks. It is actually entirely possible to do so but you need every sponge thing every thing that can stall turns and as much damage output as possible ( in particular infina jump for jumpable bosses ) it is actually a decent challenge run.
There were legitimate complains such as the motion plus shenanigans and how Fi can at times be more annoying than Navi. But beside that, it was a great game with an interestong story set way before all previous entries, and a very fun gameplay (when the motion plus is working properly)
I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with me but honestly my most disappointing game of the year was Borderlands 3. I am a huge Borderlands fan and while I did have some fun with the game, the hype and the direction they took with the game made just wanna play other games. If I chose my decade game....PT...I still hurt from that game since its cancellation.
I’m more disappointed in the story of BL3 than anything, but there were enough gameplay QoL improvements that it wasn’t a huge disappointment for me. Still, though, haven’t felt the need to go back to it to farm after hitting 50, so that’s kinda disappointing.
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.
My most disappointing game of the decade is Aliens: Colonial Marines. I still hold a grudge against Gearbox for that game even to this day. And I didn’t buy Borderlands 3.
Domt get me started with borderlands. I gave it a shot. I hated it. BUT I found a character I enjoyed. Making me love the fuck out of the game. THEN THERE Was an unfixable glitch... in a main story mission... couldn't progress. Now? I refuse to play borderlands. Fuck that piece of shit game
I personally liked Sticker Star. I get why it gets hate but I enjoyed it for what it was. Oh and I was just waiting for Fed Force to show up on this list lol. That was actually a good game just not the game everyone wanted especially carring the Prime name.
Chris Ruston as a serious paper Mario fan sho started with Thousand Year Door, I found sticker star enjoyable as well and I think it’s because of how disappointed I felt with super with the 2D concept. When sticker star brought that back and battling and some nice locations, I found it enjoyable. Not brilliant or anything, but just good for me. I still see it as the destruction of paper Mario, but I enjoyed it for what it was when I played it
Yea, i personally think "No man's sky" was pretty ok too when it came out, but everyone else wanted a different game, and i guess the devs have to follow.
@@Renteks- unfortunately the game people wanted with No Mans Sky was one the dev's promised and lied about. Such a shame the dev's had to fix their reputation on such a garbage game yeah?

"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.

@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 is an insult, even to Sonic '06. At least '06 resembled a game.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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...

@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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

Release cube world better be on this list
Edit: im dissapointed
Cube World was a God damn scam and I'll never forgive them
This and NMS being as low as it was surprised me.
@@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. Look at a game like Fallout 76, where a Triple-A company would rather milk it's 10 remaining players out of all they have then actually make a half-decent game
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.
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
8:00 I got this game for Christmas in 2012. I completed it, found every optional objective, and unlocked everything so quickly, that I was able to return it to my local Wal-Mart while they were still accepting gift returns.
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
Dynasty Warriors 9. That game broke my spirit and now I can never trust again. No game has made me as genuinely sad as that one and I will never pre-order a game again.

@@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.
There are like 20-30 indie games released on steam daily. Did you play any of the roughly 150-200 indie games released on steam this week?

Oh Come on. You know Sno loves that game to death. He brings it up in almost every video! (Not that it's a bad thing)

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.

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.

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).

The game on the other hand...
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
@@ikagura wrong comment
Battlefront 2 needed some time, but right now, its actually pretty good.
Bugs are IMO worse than launch, but yeah, they added so much, it's almost a completely different game.
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.

In my opinion, because this list is entirely based on public input, it's got a serious slant towards newer games. Like, being perfectly honest, games like Anthem (which frankly shouldn't be on the list) being higher than Duke Nukem Forever really goes to show how forgetful people really can be.
Like, anyone here remember EVOLVE? Watch_Dogs? Destiny? (either of them) Remember how collectively disappointing they were? Those should absolutely be here.

@chuckie Lbc gameplay was solid. But man the story was just bland and flavorless. It really showed that it wasnt made by a big budget team. I didnt rly care about the models and how bad the facial animations were. But the story made me just drop it halfway
I'm more surprised wolfenstein: youngblood wasn't on here
Mr.Criminal you don’t need a big budget team to have good writing.
Honestly, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam was probably the most disappointing game I played this decade. Similarly to how Sticker Star stripped the Paper Mario series of its creativity and personality, Paper Jam is completely devoid of any originality in terms of NPCs, enemies, bosses, and environments the Mario & Luigi series is known for.
More than that however, it is astonishing how an official crossover between two of the most creative Mario RPGs could turn out to be so bland and uninspired. The game itself is fine; the combat is as satisfying as ever, and there aren't a ton of bugs. But that's the worst part about it for me. It could've been so much more than just a decent game.
I think it is mario and luigi game with the most programming errors actually. not saying that to degrade the game because they rarely ever play into the normal experience,just wanted to mention. when it comes to the game being uninspired,I kinda get the vibe that they wanted to make something amazing and iconic,but then went in the opposite direction to make it be more in line with stickerstars storyquality...the worst part of it,I mean) they had new mechanics,a really interessting idea for a plot and even had some cool conflicts thought out,but then they just kinda made the missing toads never ending,had the bowsers just be generic final bosses,had no interaction between the worlds that felt really fun to experience or to have an everlasting impact on either franchise aside from them teasering the koopalings and a few stackenemies appearing in color splash,etc.
@@lpfan4491 Yeah, you hit a lot of good points there. Paper Jam just didn't do a whole lot for either series in general. For what it's worth, I don't hate the game. There's still some enjoyment to be had with it, but it pales in comparison to every other game before it.
Paper Jam is the perfect example of why things other than gameplay and style are important. Unlike Sticker Star which was exclusively style over substance, this game was actually really good gameplay-wise with a decent difficulty and a well-constructed overworld that encourages you to pick up leftover items you missed the first time around. I‘d go as far as arguing that gameplay-wise, it is the best Mario&Luigi game. But what does all that gameplay help if the story is bland? What do the fun battle mechanics help when the enemies you battle are literally cardboard cutouts of enemies Mario fights all the time? Why would you care if you die if you don’t feel there is as much at stake as in the first three games of either series?
Rainpooper sticker star also has horrible story. The only way I had fun was a no damage from enemies challenge. Actually possible but the route is super convoluted ( for example you have to almost complete the last level grab the trumpet go enter the forest to get the sponge ( which blocks all damage from enemies for a few turns) and then you gotta rush to beat bosses before the sponge runs out and while using water weapons to prevent the enemy from using attacks. It is actually entirely possible to do so but you need every sponge thing every thing that can stall turns and as much damage output as possible ( in particular infina jump for jumpable bosses ) it is actually a decent challenge run.
I can see it becoming a cult classic because of how easy it is to speedrun due to horrible glitches
4:48 For 1 second, I thought New Horizons was on the list...
Skyward Sword is my all-time favorite game, little sad to see people hate on it
There were legitimate complains such as the motion plus shenanigans and how Fi can at times be more annoying than Navi. But beside that, it was a great game with an interestong story set way before all previous entries, and a very fun gameplay (when the motion plus is working properly)
Not only was it disliked, but swiftly forgotten entirely by everyone.
Not only was it disliked, but swiftly forgotten entirely by everyone.
It also added great stuff like upgrading and stamina that was used in BotW, as well as actually managing to make combat interesting.
I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with me but honestly my most disappointing game of the year was Borderlands 3. I am a huge Borderlands fan and while I did have some fun with the game, the hype and the direction they took with the game made just wanna play other games. If I chose my decade game....PT...I still hurt from that game since its cancellation.
Jake Thorsen Kojima has said he wants to go back and make a horror game, so maybe the Del Toro/Ito/Kojima collaboration isn’t dead yet!
I’m more disappointed in the story of BL3 than anything, but there were enough gameplay QoL improvements that it wasn’t a huge disappointment for me. Still, though, haven’t felt the need to go back to it to farm after hitting 50, so that’s kinda disappointing.
@@gatheringstormgaming9061 BL3 is the same game BL2 was, but with QOL improvements and a shittier story.
Should've talked about Battlefront II's turnaround
Andersonwhiite fr
Exactly
Honestly has the second biggest turnaround in history in my opinion. No mans sky is first
Especially since he talked about no man's sky.
@@OfficialRPV Idk about that. AngryJoe and the act man both admitted that the game has gotten better and there are a lot more than just those two
I thought Skyward Sword was great.
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.
Yeah it's true
this shows that complaining and boycott works! good to know!
Wait what's happening with sword and shield and isnt kingdom hearts getting remind
We actually did Something Guys. And got a great game
My most disappointing game of the decade is Aliens: Colonial Marines. I still hold a grudge against Gearbox for that game even to this day. And I didn’t buy Borderlands 3.
Domt get me started with borderlands. I gave it a shot. I hated it. BUT I found a character I enjoyed. Making me love the fuck out of the game. THEN THERE Was an unfixable glitch... in a main story mission... couldn't progress. Now? I refuse to play borderlands. Fuck that piece of shit game
Hey, look at Destiny 2
Theres now 300 legendary guns and even our favorite guns are in it
@@moomooojoos what are you on about?
Douglas Philippe Still? The game was like that on release OVER 3 MONTHS AGO your just trash
I’m just here to say that hearing Seasons during the no man’s sky part was amazing.
Top tier lo-fi song.
I definitely think Sim City (2013) should've been on here.
Also remember there is a lawsuit against Bethesda for lying about merchandise. Tbh they're the worst company
Haven't heard of ea yet?
Both companies have earned a Lot of deserved distrust in them. And it will take a heckin Lot of games to ever earn a good reputation again.
Who’s out there really still giving skyward sword a bad name
Most Deadest Pool of em All. What’s so wrong with it?
Amen bro, that game is my favorite video game
I personally liked Sticker Star. I get why it gets hate but I enjoyed it for what it was.
Oh and I was just waiting for Fed Force to show up on this list lol. That was actually a good game just not the game everyone wanted especially carring the Prime name.
Chris Ruston as a serious paper Mario fan sho started with Thousand Year Door, I found sticker star enjoyable as well and I think it’s because of how disappointed I felt with super with the 2D concept. When sticker star brought that back and battling and some nice locations, I found it enjoyable. Not brilliant or anything, but just good for me. I still see it as the destruction of paper Mario, but I enjoyed it for what it was when I played it
Yea, i personally think "No man's sky" was pretty ok too when it came out, but everyone else wanted a different game, and i guess the devs have to follow.
@@Renteks- unfortunately the game people wanted with No Mans Sky was one the dev's promised and lied about.
Such a shame the dev's had to fix their reputation on such a garbage game yeah?
@@sebastiancintron29 ok
“Sticker Star is the only handheld Paper Mario”
that aged poorly
bleber yet the main selling point is its portability.
