Worst game of the year is a very tight race this year!
Gollum or Kong?
lol so sad but so true
Gotta be the day before because at least the other bad games weren’t legit scams
@@WestHamParker8That's True man. That record will not be beaten
The Day Before is the undisputed worst game of 2023.
I’m not gonna lie, there’s some sick part of me that loves how for every great game this year, there was an equally bad one.
It was the balance we needed all along. No more down the middle, you're getting GOTY for something.
Issac Newton Gaming
@@VoidRA1Nplays I think this may be more darwinism gaming as it's weeding out the studios.
Darwinism….gaming….are you just trying to sound smart
@@GDKF0238 Why are you here? I didn't ask for you. You weren't invited. Go back to fortnite if you can't handle the idioms.
I don’t remember a year where we had so many amazing games and so many bad ones on an equal level
Oh there was, believe me. lol
Seriously.. what game was great?
@@Devilspuppets89Definitely was at least one great game this year
@@Devilspuppets892023 has been one of the best years for gaming in a while, unless your purview is limited to just fps.
@@Devilspuppets89yakuza gaiden for example
Day Before being 9 is insane. Should be 1 no doubt.
It’s not a Top list…
Agree, most hyped up game and ended up being a total flop.
I think that number one is best of the worst so Day before makes sense to be on 9th place
@@leedexyou aren’t a top either
@@leedex then why they numbering them? her-der-der
It's weird to have a bad game list where the games seem to mostly get better as you get closer to #1.
Fr I liked Pay Day 3 and Forspoken, could they have been better? Yes. But they’re not terrible. I wouldn’t consider them terrible games, just poorly executed
@@woahitscoby9122yeah I agree forspoken was a good timepass nothing special tho but it does not deserve so much hate either
@@EastSheriff I think forspoken was hammered moreso for not meeting expectations, rather than being straight up awful
@@nathanduncan6919 like fr I'd get it on the cheap just to mess around with the combat system
Except Gollum then hahaha
After finishing the amazing new God of War DLC, i don't know there's a part of me that wants to end the year by playing Gollum🤣there's a 2 hour trial on PS Plus so i think my new year plan is sorted🤡
Do it!
But you know what’s crazy they gave the dlc to everyone who owned the game for free
Why would you willingly play video games during new year's eve? Especially a bad one? Jesus, go outside man
@@boiimcfacto2364 people enjoy things differently. Not saying you are wrong and they are right, but let folks end the year how they want.
@@EIyptionbecause it was garbage.
I once asked chatGPT to actually write an interesting script spec for a Gollum game. What it wrote was a game where the player is an explorer after the ring and Gollum is an ominous presence in a mountain cave setting off traps and playing mind tricks with you to get you killed. I mean Chat got it right and the studio couldn't!
I remember a game a decade ago that had a Gollum do just this, I swear GPT just rehashed a pre-existing story.
The fact that this continues to get worse and worse every year shows that we need stricter laws for false advertising in video games
I don't think that stricter laws would solve the issue in most cases. There is already consumer laws that protect consumers from false or misleading in the most part that can let you get your money back and leave the game to die on its own. What we actually need is to stop pre-ordering games and to wait for reviews from the community rather than from the media and influencers who get paid to say nice things about a game. A lot of the games on this list made a decent size of the money it made from pre-orders which dried up at launch where the people who bought the game told everyone about how trash it was.
@@Algebruh2407preach brother. We gotta stop preordering. Even if the game is going to be good. You should not preorder!!! You’re giving people money for a product that isn’t DONE
@@Algebruh2407 yeah well folks keep per-ordering. Everyone says don't it makes the industry worse and years keep on ticking by and folks keep doing it, so this really isn't a realistic solution. Best thing i could think is make it illegal for the industry to do per-order sales all together.
@@------837I personally am against banning it because of the precedent that it would give and because taking it away is ultimately anti-consumer choice to do so. Companies would also move on to more loopholes or predatory ways of selling their games, like turning pre-orders into early releases where you can only play a demo until the game comes out or turning the game into a microtransaction.
The best action to take is to tell people why they shouldn't pre-order games and let it run it's course. If the quality of the games being pre-ordered don't improve, then more and more people are going to get burned when they blew money on a bad game or feel let down when they have to refund it. When more and more people are being burnt, then there will be less pre-orders, leading game companies to be forced improve the quality to make the sales on release rather than throw a lot of the budget onto the marketing team to shove pre-orders down everyone's throats.
@@Algebruh2407 what precedent would it make? It’s a simple law about selling broken games to customers and running with the bag never fixing the game. Everything else you said was a complete ramble of made up rubbish.
This year was so weird for gaming. First, we got *Forspoken* followed by *Wanted:Dead* but these two games got absolutely hammered by *Crime Boss* . Then *Gollum* came along and we thought, “Okay, this is the peak of what a game should not be, nothing can beat this disaster” but then within a span of a few months *Skull Island* came out and proved us wrong. But again it got thrashed by the *Walking Dead: Destinies* and when the year was ending, we got the cherry on top in the form of *The Day Before* . What a year, huh?
Forgot Silent Hill Ascension.
Redfall?
Truly a funny year. Can’t wait for how 2024 gonna go
@@amkren4158Redfall was bad but players showed their hate on the game because of the reputations set on Arkane. I'm sure if any other studios developed Redfall, it would still be rated poorly but might have gotten less hatred
Fr tho
Gollum is a 2023 hidden gem just cause of all the great video content it provided. Never played, never will play. 10/10.
One of the games of all time
@@erso_returned2530one of the original jokes of all time
@@OfAngelsAndAnarchist it's equivalent to farting nowadays.
@@OfAngelsAndAnarchist one of the replies of all time
It's one of those games that you bury in the Nevada desert
Having games like Payday 3 and CoD campaign on the same list as Gollum and that King Kong game is pretty harsh lol
I'd like to see another quality Kong game. The 2005 Xbox 360 King Kong game wasn't perfect, but it was surprisingly competent for what it was and had some genuinely scary/entertaining moments. It was the first game I played on a demo 360 back in 05 at a Best Buy.
It was originally PS2 and I played it as a kid and loved it! Probably the first game I ever finished to completion.
I legitimately thought that the walking dead destinies was a mobile game until I started seeing video reviews popping up on yt. What an absolute piece of work
I remember seeing the first trailer and thinking the same thing.
Bro me too lmao, my friend showed me some gameplay and i was like "oh, its not that bad for a mobile game" and he was like "BRO THIS IS NOT ON MOBILE"
That is an insult to good mobile games.
Day before is so good that I have returned it the day after.
Falcon has been my day saver of the year. When having a bad day pop on a video he is narrating and the day turns around. This channel just is an a+ all around. Thanks to all who make it so😊
Forspoken wasn't a terrible game overall it just struggled to get started and definitely had a pacing issue.
And you can kinda excuse the pacing if you look into it a bit cuz apparently the writers were basically forced to change the story last minute. All in all I really don't think it belongs on this list. At BEST it's mid, I wouldn't say it was one of the worst games or one of the best.
@@moonlitxangel5771 It's just popular to hate on it for the people that spent their 10 minutes on it. Funny IGN Japan gave it a 9/10. Western audiences tend to be hive minds when it comes to opinions.
The voice acting was the worst offender.
It was a blast i beat it and enjoyed every bit of it just the dialogue kept going when i wanted it to stop. But the game itself is awesome i still love it
@@fartzhapy4165 oof. Lost another one.
Gollum’s team was absolutely NOT prepared to make a game like that. They spent their whole development time making stuff like Deponia. They’re still around, but only as a publisher now. Thanks Gollum.
That was always wild to me. I loved the Deponia series, I love point and click adventures. I don't know why they moved out of their comfort zone which was normally riddled with humor and silliness
Love the rise of contenders for worst games of the year it's becoming my favorite category.theres so much competition this year too
😂😂😂😂😂
Payday 3 player here, after the first patch (day one patch 1 month after launch) Overkill (publisher) quickly turned around and announced Murky Station and Cook Off one week after and made the leveling system better by making xp be gained by doing heists as well as challenges
They also released the DLC early, granted for 10 bucks or for 18 with a weapon pack
Stop making excuses for starbreeze, everything except for the gun play was an after thought, and even then what did we even get like 10 guns? Pay day 2 had time but the game gave itself that time because, it launched with absurdly more content than pay day 3 did.
@@KingKari_ 20 guns, and while payday 3 has considerably less than 2, it still is a good game, it's got good mechanics, it's a diamond in the rough basically
@@KingKari_ The heist launch roster in Payday 2 was arguably worse than 3's bar a couple and launched with 12 heists in total. The majority of Payday 2's launch heists were awful. There was also a similar amount of guns between the two during their respective launches.
Payday 3 launched with 8 heists and while there is little variety in objectives all 8 certainly have more depth than any of the launch heists in 2. There are other more important things to criticize about PD3, especially the qol missing from 2, but the amount of heists isn't a big issue.
@@DrStryde Yeah, I was going reply to him with this info too because @KingKari_ obviously has no idea what he is talking about. I've played Payday since PD:TH and loved every one of them, including 3 so far. Payday 3 was far better than Payday 2 at launch, Payday 3 a few months on I still think has been better than Payday 2 was a few months on.
Payday 3 being number one on this list is a scalding hot take.
About COD: I heard half of the maps are copy pasted from Warzone, which made it impossible to code in friendly players.
So they tell you in the briefing about team mates or whatever but then when the mission starts: ur solo.
I hope to see a "10 Games that Sucked in 2023 but Improved in 2024"
Think it'd be an interesting premise
2021 Sucked
I understand, but unfinished, unpolished, anything. Shouldn't be celebrated and praised. Oh you made good on your initial promise way later after you already took the sale? Okay you're garbage.
Hello.. CDPR apologist! 🤡
I dont really think that any of these still try to improve their game, not like cdpr who did an amazing job with cyberpunk
that could happen if some of the studios simply shut down cause of how bad it was lol
Arkane still had so many possibilities with Dishonored. So many more island nations in the lore, and that one giant crazy continent that Corvo is apparently from. I still have no idea what they and their publishers were thinking when they had so much potential from one of their strongest mainline IP's.
Yeah. That world had legs. Now the IP will be sat on until no one will care when they finally dust it off and make its corpse dance around for a nostalgic buck.
@@adamwest8711 dude it really is so disappointing. I remember when I first played Dishonored 2, and I found a map of the world in the game and there are SO MANY cities and different island nations aside from the two in both games. They could have thrown a dart and wherever it landed it could have worked!!
Maybe they want to hold off and release a game when people actually really really want it instead of spamming people with a new game from each series every year and a half like Ubisoft. I’m not sure i’d have been ready for a new Dishonored this year. Tbh i’m just now replaying the originals for the 2nd time now.
@@sub-jec-tiv honestly you are 100% right. But it's been a healthy amount of time since the last entry in the Dishonored series, and they made those games with love and respect for the world and lore. I will say after Deathloop it seems, to me, that Arkane kinda just gave up a little. And with so many devs leaving Arkane because of Redfall, it just seems like Dishonored as a whole is dead now. All the devs who created it and cared might be gone now
@@sub-jec-tiv the first game is over 10 years old and the last one was 6 years ago. As far as I know, they’ve not even started on concept work for another which means it’ll have been 10 years at least before there’s another game, if ever. No offence to you but but most people don’t need nearly 12 years to get through 2 playthroughs.
The fact that Starfield isn't on the list is NUTS.
You forgot Sony Interactive movies called Spider-Man 2
The fighting mechanics on that Kong game is freaking hilarious 😂
Probably could've redeemed itself had it been purposefully cartoony and not about King Kong.
(Open-world Donkey Kong, maybe? 🤔)
It was probably designed for little kids.
left hand, right hand, slap. repeat
@@xoizhyk and how janky it is 😂
@@greatwavefan397 not even, the way those characters move feel too jenky and cheap lol.
A large part of my problem with Payday 3 was it’s lack of player creativity in making classes. Such a limited amount of guns and perks compared to payday 2. On top of the masks being just cut down to like what 15 styles. It felt like a beta. I think there was only one shotgun for your primary as well. Just very lacking in content
Payday 2 also had 10 years of post-launch support. In those 10 years they added a lot of content. However I agree with you in regards to the class making, a definite downgrade
@@intrcptr7351 payday 2 didn't drop in the sorry excuse of a state that 3 did tho i am really tired of this type of excuse being thrown out
@@intrcptr7351 yeah I was a day one 360 payday 2 player I know how it was but it was also the Xbox 360 and over 10 years ago they had time
Aside from the lack of content, Pauday 3 embodies everything we hate in live service games
The problem is that they're gonna milk all the content into 100s of dollars of DLC like they did with Payday 2. Payday officially died, and become a pay to play game.
The big issue with MW3 was that they only had 8 months to create the campaign.
Yeah we were robbed of a second great MW trilogy by corporate greed and lack of originality
wow that sucks and has never gone well in the past.
Ikr MW19 was so sood but the sequels were so disappointing@@SamFr1000
Forspoken is actually a ton of fun. Bought it on the recent PSN sale and am going 20 hours strong. It has some setbacks, but I think the degree of hate was a bit exaggerated.
The main bad game that made me laugh till my stomach hurts is the Walking Dead game. It’s those slideshow cutscenes that get me every time & how the characters DONT STOP TALKING! They keep on saying the same line every time they pick up an item Lol 😂
😅
🤭👍
I’m gonna eventually get TWD Destinies since I’m a huge fan, but I’m more looking forward to the laughs haha
“Finders Keepers”
@@S3RVANTofCHI3F “More ammo is always welcome” lol 😂
I'd like to see a list of "meh" games. Games that were not objectively bad but not good either, disappointing games that might still be enjoyable but just didn't live up to their potential.
Well a lot of people are calling Starfield "midfield". Myself included. IMO it's probably the most meh game of 2023.
#1 on the meh list has to be Starfield.
👍🏼
@@perceivedvelocity9914midfield for sure
Hogwarts Legacy, Avatar Froniters of Pandora, and Starfield.
You guys should do top 10 games that everyone says sucks but makes lots of bucks!
I'm surprised that Starfield is not on here judging by all of the negativity and how people seem to of waited so long to only be very disappointed.
The thing I hate most about Crime Boss Rockay City is the name. It sounds like one of those GTA clones you might see on the apple or google play store.
Nobody will disagree with you here. The year had many bangers and garbages at the same time compared to any previous years so great video 👍.
@@Stfu56177You’re so cool and different
"No one will disagree with you here"
Nah I disagree about Forspoken. It's not possible for "no one" to disagree here.
Except with Redfall and the Day Before. What on earth happened there.
Sad to see Starfield didn't make the list. Can't have Todd believe it was a good representation of what his team can do.
Forspoken's inclusion was an abject mistake.
@@ZephyrFate I think plenty of people disagree with you. There's a very sizeable contingent of players who disliked it and felt burned by it. But to each their own.
When I tried the beta for Payday 3 (on PC) the menuing felt very much designed for navigating on a controller and it did not lend itself to a positive experience on PC in that regard either. I'm unsure if this has seen any changes since releasing...
I love my Steam Deck LCD, the colour saturation stuff , doesn't even register with me.
I think it looks great.
Never have a problem running games with the aid of Proton GE.
85% of my play time was on Deck in 2023, handheld.
I'll upgrade when the 3rd revision comes around.
One of the best devices I've owned.
Thx again for nothing but, nonstop quality and honesty from you guys at gameranx!
Hope you guys have a safe Christmas! 🎉

why was it a great year for gaming
@@Prosthetics555 you been living under a rock or are you stuck in 2020?
@@SpreadTheLoveNotSTDs Relax nerd I just asked you a question
@@Prosthetics555 okay so living under a rock it is ✅
@@SpreadTheLoveNotSTDs Are you that low IQ you get mad at me asking you why it was such a great year for gaming?
Thank you Gameranx for all this videos. I'm just getting old 🤣 But I'm glad I saw this channel before.
Space engineers and baldurs gate 3. Space engineers deserves to be recognized because its a great game thats been around since 2014 that can give minecraft and even starfield a run for its money. And baldurs gate has so many dumb little knacks its basically sims and wartales rolled into one. Its nice and to grow up around everything except dungeons and dragons and to want to break into that realm of tabletop games baldurs gate really gives you that feel of a looking dungeon master and larian really wanting you to be able to do whatever.
I love Wanted: Dead, it was designed to mimic the janky feels of the PS2 era. Tho I can see how that wouldn’t be for everyone lmao
I felt like Forespoken is one of those games where a new mechanic was discovered, and Square wanted to try it out in a large setting. We may see the fluid parkour mechanic used in the game come back around somewhere else (hopefully) so they really just needed this game as a way to test it out and make sure it worked. I didn't hate the game, but it does get boring and repetitive after a while. But running around like a coked-up wizard is fun as hell.
I think the magic combat is really fun and there are creative ways you can defeat enemies
combat and traversal was fun enough to keeo me going for hours but my god was the game so dead. I didnt hate the MC as much as alot of people did especailly those on the hate wagon so hard they'd defend 'cuff' but the negative and annoying traits of her character were only broadcasted with how empty the game world was.
The world traversal alone, and how well it flows as you unlock the new parkour moves, is enough to keep it off lists like these.
Everyone who has actually played Forspoken uses the word “fun” to describe it.
Everyone who hasn’t uses the word “cringe”.
I find the gameplay appealing. But the main character feels annoying and not charismatic at all, and they did dirty the person they used to model her.
The Walking Dead Destinies feels like a game that was maybe in 2014 and they just forgot to release it until someone found the game on a random shelf in the back of the warehouse and they went 'oh yeah we should probably sell it'
You forgot to include the rpgmaker game I made featuring an eggplant that tried to poison people.
Wanted: Dead is one of my favorite games of the year. Yeah it's weird but in a good way and sometimes unbalanced in it's difficulty. It's also gory fast paced fun and different from a lot of the samey stuff we get every year.
When management doesn't understand games, they'll assign projects to a team which isn't even specialized in that genre. RedFall is what you'd get from that type of thinking.
Red fall is an interesting case in my opinion. You can see things that are good about it, you can see LOTS of interesting world stuff that could have been very intriguing IF..a big IF, that could have been expounded on in that same Dishonored style of world building. I think it’s more a victim of “I don’t care if ya don’t wanna make this, you’re gonna make it and get us money.” I think Redfall has potential to be redeemed in someway, just not as long as it’s a live service game. If they do a sorta…prequel/sequel. They should do it as all single player and utterly scrap the multiplayer aspect, OR do it similarly to Deathloop’s multiplayer
Does anyone else think of the old Spiderman games narrator when they hear this dudes voice?
'Wanna hear me say endurance again? Endurance. There ya go'
Game Mill is becoming a spiritual successor of LJN 😂
I feel how Falcon feels about Forspoken especially her dialogue. I get she was supposed to be a street kid from New York dropped in this world, but I really wasn't feeling the way she responded to the world.
Yep. It was legit embarrassing watching how she interacted with people
She was basically Miles Morales bro
As someone who’s a New Yorker born and raised, this is not how we talk
Isn't she too young to be a millennial?
@@TadRaunch no one (on this thread at least) called her a millenial.
"Payday could, someday, be good. It's just not today."
Also
"I haven't played the game recently. "
When Forspoken released i didn't really care about it but got it for 25 bucks, i was expecting it to be horrible since i saw everybody hate it i don't think it was as bad as people portrayed it 🤷♂️
I just recently got forespoken on sale and it’s honestly nowhere near as bad as people make it sound
right? i beat it about a month ago and honestly had a decent time for $30 for like 20 hours or however long it was
👍🏼
I agree. I got it when it came out and want to get it again at some point on sale (I returned it cuz it wasn't worth full price). It's definitely not one of the worst games this year. The gameplay is pretty fun and the story is okay. I hope one day maybe they'll do a game that's what Forspoken was supposed to be (story got changed last minute which is why it's kinda lacking) but I don't regret playing it.
One thing I've noticed about Call of Duty games is that the multiplayer is always the main focus, and the campaign is usually treated as an afterthought. Then when a zombie mode is included, like with Modern Warfare 3, the campaign really is an afterthought.
It could have been good though. They had a great thing going with MW2019, trying to install a bit of realism in an arcarde shooter with Clean House. Went away from it with the next one, but not terrible, then they just went full on with throwing any sense of realism out the window (I get it, it's COD not a combat simulator but still) with making it basically warzone. It's hard to suspend disbelief when you've got me stacking SAPI plates and finding killstreak boxes with UAVs and air strikes on standby. It makes no sense and really killed any karma they got back from the original MW reboot.
That's bc the multiplayer is the main focus of the consumer. If people wanted to play more single player, attention would be shifted appropriately to that
It wasn't always that way
I just want something like SOCOM 3 for PS2 but on PS5 i tried cod and saw all that extra special shit and nuh uh, i wanna go fight in a desert and shit
They even managed to f*ck that up. The fact that I paid for MWII and now instead of updating fun mode like shipment under a global CoD banner...They create the exact same mode but only for those that own MWIII and just end up emptying out the lobbies of MWII shipment. Really pathetic if you ask me.
Crime Boss Rockay City isn’t even that bad. I bought it when it was on sale and I’ve been enjoying it so far
That King Kong one looks like someone just tried to upgrade Donkey Kong from SNES.
I'm legit surprised he doesn't collect bananas.
Merry Christmas to Jake and Falcon.
Merry Christmas
I have to say. What he said about Wanted Dead is true. It's got some problems but has a lot of charm
Haven’t seen the list yet, hoping to see Gollum, King Kong, The Day Before, and Starfield.
Edit: After viewing, I had forgotten about Redfall. Definitely deserved the spot over Starfield.
Starfield should have been on this list for Forspoken or Pay day
I would love Wanted Dead to be included on PS+ as a free monthly or added to the collection. That's the only way I'd play it. But, make no mistake *I would absolutely play it!*
With Forspoken, all I wanted was to be a magic parkouring battle mage and the game gave me that, so I was happy. I honestly want to give Wanted: Dead a shot, quite a few people online and a few TH-camrs have said if you get the hang of it that it can be pretty fun.
Honestly I loved my time with it, definitely not for everyone, but if you enjoy deadly premonition you’re gonna have a good time.
Agree
Forspoken wasn't even bad imo it is fun. I can see why ppl dont like it but compared to a lot of other games that came out this year definitely isnt nearly as bad. Now im playing through it so I don't know everything about it yet but for the hours I've put in already I've really been enjoying it. And Wanted Dead is a good game too. Kinda reminds me of WET back on the 360/PS3 Era.
Forspoken was half baked, underdeveloped garbage. Basically Hogwarts legacy for people who value their social rep over enjoying a good game
same-i love the game for that reason amongst several others. it’s not perfect and the game seems to be getting hate primarily for that.
the fact that it ranks third on a list about worst games-higher than actually broken games, games that are literally unplayable are ranked lower than forspoken-that tells me all i need to know about this video.
so much hate from people that haven’t even played the game-it’s not even about the game and the criticisms in this video even prove it-it’s basically a meme to hate on forspoken.
Wanted :Dead gives me exact same feeling when i played Wet on PS3. Same type of vibe. ( Wet clearly has better voice acting), but i found that i didnt mind the tanky controls or the repetitive nature of slow- mo gun fights.
I remember hearing that Redfall was “far cry with vampires” and I thought I like both of those. Long story short it was awful, luckily I got it on gamepass and didn’t spend $70
Wanted: Dead is my GOTY for 2023. And no I'm not joking, it really was my favorite game from this year out of everything. I could explain, but no one would care too read it, so I'll just leave it like that....
I really liked Wanted Dead alot. I know the flaws but somehow i had a ton of fun with this game. :D
Redfall is $70! WTF?
It should have released at $29.99
I got it at GameStop for 17 bucks brand new
@@kevinl6136 For PC?
Interesting info i hope is true: steam seems to pay developers at the end of the month. sooooo it might be hard to take the money and run if steam doesnt give you the money until the end of the month and it already got removed from sale before that. steam prob kept the money and just refunded everyone.
Pong was more innovative than every game released last year.
Wanted: Dead just looks very under funded. I feel like it could be fantastic with a bit more money and time in production.
The parkour in forspoken is exactly what we had in prototype
About the MW3 campaign
It was bad because it was NOT linear, not the other way around. The open combat missions were a disarter combined with bad AI. I guess the "linear" aspect that you said was more like: they want you to do the same thing from start to finish and that's it.
Imagine if redfall had the characters flipped. A squad of armed vampires go into a city to take it over, only to be met with citizen militas and armed soldiers... No no no, that sounds like it would be fun; couldn't have that
starfield should be in the list
I played about 10 or so hours of Forspoken and whilst the combat and traversal are quite fun and unique, everything else just falls flat. It’s hard to keep engaged when the open world is empty and the main character is about as multi-dimensional as a stale old piece of toast. It’s ironic cause the marketing campaign promised a huge ‘fish out of water’ type scenario with a pivotal transformation for Frey and yet it’s like the writers refused to let any kind of character development creep in 😭😭
How did Forspoken end up lower than Gollum, Skull Island AND The Day Before though?😅
This guy sounds like Norm McDonald a little bit
Rockay City was a lot of fun, looked great, and had basically 0 bugs
The only real flaw was that it was written by non-english speakers, and the writing was a bit rough
0 bugs? Nah. Had a few but nothing gamebreaking. Tho it seems some of the newer ones made the game buggier than it was when it had a free weekend lol. Great game tho, also had a lot of fun.
There ought to be a "Raspberry award" equivalent for gaming like there is for movies.
This year had quite a few GOTY contenders and equally RAZZIE ones as well.
(Though the blame can mostly be attributed by corporate shareholder greed)
I sort of agree, but it’s also apparent that with bad games, it’s usually only a few people making it bad (like the shareholders) whereas the rest of the developers have to helplessly watch as they’re forced to code a game that they hate and can tell will be hated.
indie devs with a good idea and a tiny budget can make games much more deserving of the goty title than any AAA product, like minecraft (before ms bought mojang) or factorio, but at the same time, if indie games were eligible for the razzies, the AAA studios could always find a game just as bad as theirs, but with a much lower budget (and therefore additional problems).
it's not that i don't like the idea, but i think it'd devolve into one part of the industry bashing the other, with very little value.
Fospoken wasn't TERRIBLE, definitely coul've used some improvement in terms of Dialogue, but it did have interesting gameplay mechanics.
I love Rockay, but again, dialogue and cutscene interactions leave much to be desired.
That "Wanted: Dead" game reminds me of WET back from the 360 Days
I loved Wanted: Dead. It felt like playing a goofy PS2 game in the best possible way.
Yeah this game is fire
The song "Maniac" from the game's OST is goddamn fire, got to know about this game from there.
I find it sadder that many developers lost their jobs this year or that many studios closed!
Forespoken wasn’t that bad in my opinion, it just got boring and repetitive after a few hours in! I still had fun with the title!
My problem with payday 3 was at launch not enough heists, and while I felt they were good, just not enough.
Then all the ones they’ve added haven’t been good, or put behind a 20$ paywall for one heist
Skull island rise of Kong looks like it came out 20 years ago and has similar graphics to rayman 3 and Prince of Persia the Sands of Time which both came out in 2003 for the PS2 and XBox.
Very well said. I agree
They should have worst game award at the game awards. Put devs in their place and get them back to standard.
💯 put them on blast
Would be funny but a waste of resources and time when you take up a slot for devs who actually put in effort to make something worthwhile and want to express their appreciation. Gotta think too that the studio that gets the mail about being nominated and it says “For worst game of the year” they most likely won’t show up.
Like the razzies.
Jeff won't get the sponsors for TGA then because most of these triple A and double A game studios are responsible for these Abominations.The put ads for a crappy mobile game lol they ain't doing anything😂
@@Sumirevins the hell are you talking about
Did you actually watch this video? Most triple a and double aa studios released great games this year or do you call the team behind golum, Kong or the day before triple aaa?
Gollum is so famous that most people didn't even bother watching it and created a "most replayed" checkpoint at 11:41 lol
Great video and loved the enthusiasm 👏 enjoyed it while eating my lunch. Thanks
At least Crime Boss is kind of endearing. It's every game you ever saw a main character playing in every early 2000s movies and it's not ashamed at all about it. Broken janky mess, but its itself entirely lol.
Just to correct Falcon about the money situation regarding "The Day Before" there's a high probability that from the Steam side of the sales that the studio never saw a cent because Valve has a policy in place on Steam where payment is withheld until the following month and because the "studio" closed within a week of launch, yeah, they aren't seeing squat of that money.
Great coverage as always 😂👊🏿
Wanted: Dead placed above Skull Island and The Day Before is INSANE!
I did not expect that as the #1 but it's well deserved. 😅
👍🏼
You struggled to tell what Crime Boss Rockay City is so here it goes, it's pretty much payday but with a rogue like mode.
This feels like two lists smooshed together. Half are bad games, half are more disappointing
how to add time stams there like 2:00 for 10th, 4:25 for 9th?
Maybe the best worst game of the year...is the friends we made along the way (it's actually the day before)
The only disappointment with Payday 3 was the launch and maybe a 2 months period of silence from the devs after that. Now it is pretty much fixed and back on track. They fixed a lot of bugs and added 3 maps plus cosmetics. I absolutely don’t think it should be num.1 in this list while the day before is like 9 or something.
I think the list is ranked on disappointment based on how hyped it was before launch. We all knew Kong and day before were going to disappoint but having MW3 or payday up there is because people expected more but didn’t get it
I agree, people expect so much from a indy title but they forget it's not a AAA developer like infinity ward (and that they paid half the price of a AAA game)
I think Forspoken is 'alright'. It's obviously not the best game out there and it does have some flaws, but I also think it's not as bad as most people say. I enjoyed it for the most part. The pricetag is a bit hefty though
I bought it for 40 and it was good. There have been games that are really bad. But yes I guess it gets shitted on so much cause many bought it at full price. And yes its not worth that.
@@schwubmexxYeah got it for cheap don't think it was as bad as people were saying
7:54 the best thing about Wanted Dead is, Storymode did a Expleened video on it.
