@@geoffrogue3049I think it also has to do with the fact that without cars and helicopters and flying cars and rocket packs etc there wasn't much to buy to actually go insane in the game. Like you could get a big horse or an elephant gun but nothing truly game changing. So even if you had an "edge" it wasn't a big deal worth spending money on. I still enjoyed Rd online tho
@@danielbuhr4260that's just a lack of creativity though. Like there could be properties to buy or trains or steam boat or something.

I would love to see a video of just "10 games that I just flat out don't like" or "games with 0 redeeming qualities," cause I love the way Falcon rants! lol
This could be interesting! Would also be a good opportunity for the whole team to have their own video (each person who presents videos, at least). Might be a good way for new viewers like myself to get a sense of each host's personality.
Yeah but he should've mentioned the fact that Kerbal Space 2 it had 2 different studios: the OG one was removed and the new one was put in place for KSP2 which is why it is the feature regression game e.g. something that Bellular brought up and it's true litereally sequels that have basic fucking features from the OG game gone and the fact that develeopment hell lingered from the outside causing the general game to come to a hault. And ofc it was being listed as a overprice experience that can't even be cooked properly... 70 dollars lmfao.
@@calvinmartin1305 Fr and it makes the platinum basically impossible after the online servers are shut down. Platinum for single player games should only involve only single-player things.

@@JesusPlsSaveMe Wrong place, wrong audience man. Why don't you try a place where people are actually interested and receptive. All you're doing is pushing people away by being pushy in the wrong scenarios.
I played Evolve with a 4-man team. We each had our favorite character and we'd select those characters. Most matches we wouldn't get those characters and we'd be forced to play roles we either didn't like or even hated. I got on the Evolve forums and asked about it. One of the devs for the games responded and asked why we'd want to play the same character in the same role in every game. I wanted to play the Medic, but even with three other players who didn't want to play medic, I still only got to play medic maybe 3 times out of 5.
I have pretty much the exact same approach to how I play games and if a game can't facilitate that playstyle then I don't play it lol. I might be on the spectrum though, idk.
Honestly, I love playing specific rolls in some games. in BF3/4 I was heavy into medic. But I play with a friend and usually go point/support and she does ranged/tank and it feels great.. being forced into something youre not into sucks
As someone who plays FF14 and is used to playing the same role all the time and others doing the same that is a silly question. I did enjoy Evolve but only when I was the monster. I hated playing the classes.
The list 10. Anthem 9. Red dead online 8. Star wars jedi survivor (pc) 7. Kerbal space program 2 6. Resident evil re:verse 5. Back for blood 4. Wild hearts 3. Star trek infinite 2. Babylons fall 1. Redfall
Biomutant is a game that comes to mind. I don't think it's a buggy mess (I haven't played much of it) but it is a game that was just entirely abandoned and forgotten after release even though it had a fair bit of marketing prior to launch and got at least average reviews.
It needed more content but instead they spent time developing a 4K 60fps patch for PS5 and enhanced graphics for the PC port. Making it shinier doesn't help it be less boring and bare-bones.
Problem with the game is that the "No real language and the narrator is telling you everything they say all the damn time" gets so damn tedious to sith through very quick, the recycled rinse-and-repeat-content doesn't really help it either.
@@busterkeaton1041 yea I was really interested pre launch. Got the game eventually but just didn't get very far. I'll give it an honest try someday lol.
I just restarted Anthem on sunday cuz I was seeing alot of mention of it lately on youtube comments and vids. So far its better then release but story and gameplay are still the same. Bugs and other small things are much better tho
Falcon definitely needs to gear up a follow up to this list! BioMutant, D&D Dark Alliance, and Necromunda: Hired Gun immediately came to mind! Though, the state of gaming...this topic could be an ongoing series :/
4:00 Jedi survivor has actually had 3 steam builds uploaded to steamdb in the past couple weeks which tells us that its very likely that the game will be updated soon hopefully
There is more wrong info in this video. They removed Denuvo DRM from Back 4 Blood only 1-2 weeks ago. It were confirmed 2 weeks ago that Redfall will get a patch with lots of fixes that also includes offline mode. You can't trust any video on TH-cam in general anymore as they don't bother to do research anymore. There is frequently factual errors in non gaming videos too.
I've been playing Jedi Survivor on my PC for the last couple months through GamePass and haven't had any issues. I was expecting it to still have some bugs but haven't noticed anything.
The clips used to show the games in Gameranx videos is so interesting to me. It's like an AI chose them. They're usually completely unrelated to what's being pointed out. "Breath of the Wild has some of the CRAZIEST physics systems. You can build ANYTHING" *shows ten seconds clip of someone changing the resolution setting in the main menu*
I played a bit of Redfall because it was on Gamepass and because it was Arkane Austin. As mentioned there were kernels of ideas in there. It wasn't irredeemably bad, it was just clear that the studio didn't want to make a live service. You'd find corners of great environmental story telling, the gun play was actually pretty satisfying. Its just such a shame that they got forced into making it as it was. There's an alternative timeline where they were allowed to make a version of the game that played to their strengths. I wish i'd got to see it and unfortunately now we'll never see them have a chance to do anything again. It sucks pretty damn hard.
Seems like the same problem as suicide squad game, if you want to make live service game you should understand about how good live games actually works and find people that know how to it, thats what you get when forcing someone to make stuff outside their true ability. Even if that person can the result always awfull
10: Anthem 9: Red Dead Online 8: Star Wars: Survivor PC port 7: Kerbal Space Program 2 6: Resident Evil Re-Verse 5: Back 4 Blood 4: Wild Hearts 3: Star Trek: Infinite 2:: Babylon's Fall 1: Redfall
Jedi Survivor is such a great game, it’s such a shame it’s reputation has been almost irreversibly tainted by EA’s laziness in failing to support it with good game-fixing patches.
The Avengers game, it had some flaws, but the combat was actually fantastic. In my opinion, I still play it today occasionally as I find it so fun. I love running around as Black Panther, with the close of flying around as Thor, and pinning down enemies with mjolnir. It never got fixed but if it was some sort of open world i reckon it could have done better
The way Rockstar failed to capitalize on and then abandoned RDR2 still burns me. I don't know how they couldn't figure out that the GTA and RDR fandoms don't completely overlap and that they will want slightly different things.
They did figure it out. RDR fans are interested in stories and detailed worlds. GTA fans are cosmetics addicts, and will blow their rent money on GTA$ just to get their fix the day a new tshirt drops. Guess which one's more profitable. I'm half expecting that GTA VI was only approved because it could serve as a platform for GTAO2.
i really hate the rdr2 audio problem that fucks up when you are using an audio interface. never have it in any other title, do not have the audio problem when connecting my headphones straight into the motherboard. I have seen only temporary fixes that just fix it until it randomly just start crackling again. other audio playing in another window also does not crackle, just the in game audio.
I must have got away lucky with this one. I've ONLY ever played it through non-onboard audio hardware, sound cards internal and external and DACs and it's always been good for me. I didn't know this was a problem. Man that sucks.
Quote "We are working to release our final update, Game Update 4, that brings revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, Single Player Pausing, Offline Mode, and more"... as you said, for what it's worth!
Yeah, Microsoft stated that a patch for offline mode and the ability to pause the game were released on May 30, 2024. I've yet to test this myself since I'm currently playing Outriders. I had planned to record a playthrough of Redfall despite its reception. So I still plan to as long as I can play the game, I suppose.
I played Jedi Survivor on Xbox when I it came out. The only bug I got was the inability to do bounties, which was fixed. It was pretty good on the Series X. I'm now replaying it on PC, courtesy of Game Pass, and in its current state, it's pretty solid. No excessive slowdowns and I'm getting a solid, unvarying framerate of 40+ FPS with everything maxed for quality on a 4yr old 2070. The devs may have moved on, but it's not the absolute mess that most of the other games mentioned are.
I dont get how EA is still a company, the amount of IP’s and companies they have crashed and burned? Is it FIFA? Is that the reason they are still going?
Ya it’s EA sports as a whole that keeps them up and running. FIFA, NHL, Madden. The casual gamers are what keeps the company a float by buying the same game year after year
@@TheNotSureunfortunately many people don't know yet the monstrosity of EA, many casuals and beginners don't understand the current news in the community. I can tell you this because soo many my friends only play football games
I had almost no issues with Jedi Survivor when I played it at launch on a PC with a 5800X3d and a 3070 running at 3440x1440 at recommended settings. It froze 1 time and crashed to desktop 1 time in an entire playthrough. I since upgraded the 3070 to a 4080 and replayed the entire game at max settings, with raytracing maxed, with just a few framedrops in certain areas on Kobo but no other issues in the entire playthrough.
I played Vampyr and god was It a relief whenn I finished it, so many F questions even the lady at the end ( I forgot her name) literally says "more questions?"
It was straight up criminal how EA handled Wild Hearts, they were so close to a GotY contender and a cash cow IP, and all they had to do was invest some support in it. It genuinely makes me sad to think what could have been. I really hope some very clever EA Exec' recognises this and gives it another shot.
@@gthakur17runs really well on my 2070. Maybe there's some other hardware conflicts? Then again, lots of comments are calling out other entries so not sure what went wrong with this video, definitely not up to the usual standard.
Resident Evil REverse has a lot of remastered outfits from the old games that are worth porting into the campaigns of the other games, like RE6 Leon, Battlesuit Jill, RE6 Ada, RE: Revelations 2 Claire
I only played for a couple hours but I enjoyed what I played. The world was SEVERELY lacking in all aspects and the gameplay loop was incredibly repetitive and frankly boring but the gun play was good, the movement felt fluid and I was excited to see where the suits could go. Unfortunately they didn't make millions on release so abandon it and move on I guess
Thankful for this video. A number of games on here I've been thinking lately, "I should try them and see how they are now." Cause it's pretty common place anymore to release turds and then polish them after they're in people's hands.
I love Stellaris, and was interested in Star Trek Infinite, but not happy that I bought it now... the game had potential and I was hoping it would be updated
i know this video isn't about bugs specifically, but i'm a guy who mostly only buys games a year or two after release on sale. i'll hit spots constantly where i can't progress, google the problem, and be hit with TONS of results that it's a known day one bug, and i'm still experiencing it YEARS after launch.
I know everyone gives Mass Effect Andromeda a hard time. And yeah it was flawed but I have to say I enjoyed it! I thought it was a pretty good time. I played it back to back because I really enjoyed the gameplay.
Yeah I played it in 2022 and it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t as good as the original trilogy, but I didn’t hate it either. Looked beautiful on my new PC at the time as well.
Considering they did a lot of patches and updates to fix most of the launch problems, it looks and plays really nice now. Wish these channels would point that out instead of just lying about how the game is now.
Yeah I enjoyed it quite a bit, as did my wife, it's rare to get even a decent OW sci-fi RPG, so it did it's job for me, I actually like it better than the trilogy. I'm not a big fan of playing through stories. I prefer the Bethesda and Piranha Bites formula of factions for different play styles type of thing. Now I have Starfield a similarly received game. Which I also enjoy quite a bit.
Anthem is the exact reason that I'll never preorder a game again, learned a valuable lesson on that when a group of friends talked me into it and then the devs gave up on the roadmap and all of their promises within about 3 months of release and delivered maybe half of the basic promises and none of the crazy ones. You can also add every game with Dynasty at the end to the list because the developers and publisher are scammers, both Farmer's Dynasty and Lumberjack's Dynasty are buggy and unplayable garbage that they refuse to update into a playable condition, and even though Medieval Dynasty is in much more polished condition they only gave half of the content to last generation systems even though the game is the same price and still runs on the hardware. The biggest update for the game with an entire second map is only released on PC and the newest generation of systems, so they charge the same for the game regardless of the content you get which isn't right. I would understand if they just didn't release the game for PS4 but since they released the game and sold it to us we should get the same updates and content as everyone else. Would love to see a video covering the topic from someone with a platform because I've got no reach unfortunately.
Sable for PS5 is totally a mess, It barely reaches 15 or 20 fps, And the devs had the audacity to openly say that they won't fix their game as they are working on their next game, What a shame 😤
What's yalls PC hardware please? I returned the game because mine couldn't even load the opening logos. I loved fallen order, sad I still haven't played survivor.
Think I may have had 1 crash and a little bit of stuttering, but that was with dozens of hours of play. Had a blast with the game, honestly. Seems the 30xx graphics cards didn't have the same issues as the 40xx cards.
@@sheikhrobbie466 i did encounter a game breaker that stopped an optional boss from spawning at the end of a questline (which made trophy impossible), but that was patched a few weeks later.
Same here... Played it with a i7-12700, a 3080 w/10 gig ram, and 32 gig DDR4 3600 and it played just fine except for one or two cutscenes that stuttered a tiny bit.
Ty for +immediately+ mentioning the 2077 redemption. That game is soooo important to me, it’s my favorite game ever (that and Alan Wake 2), and any love shown to CDPR makes me very happy ❤️
Please Bioware, I dont care if it takes even 5 more years, just please release DA Dreadwolf in a non-buggy state and without microtransactions. All I want🙏
I hear you, but do you honestly think gamers won't complain about something? 40% of the Bottom 20 games released on Steam are from the past two years and a few of them are not actually bad. It's disproportionate, games are not actually much worse now than 20 years ago. Helldivers 2 was briefly one of the worst reviewed games of all time on Steam. No matter what Sony did, it's not fair to the devs. Gamers are in the habit of bombing anything that doesn't meet their expectations. If gamers aren't complaining about Denuvo, then it's about EA Launcher. They complain about old tweets, balancing, server issues, and many additional issues which are out of the control of the developer. More often than not, gamers don't actually have their own opinions, they find an influencer they like and just copy their opinions. Way too many Steam reviews, even positive ones, are copy/pasted, part of a review brigade. Yes, we get games that release to acclaim and good performance like Elden Ring, Hi-Fi Rush, etc., but anything less than perfection, anything less than meeting all expectations, and gamers lose their minds
@@Mmarcossith678-33uu Both have a history of messing up great game series. Im hoping Dragon Age bucks this trend and releases in a functional state that has all the love put into it that Inquisition had
Sad to hear about Stark Trek Infinite being abandoned. I've had nothing but good experiences with Paradox games, recommend one to a friend under the promise it'll be barebones at launch, but get better with time, only for that to be the one time they abandon a game immediately. Cities Skylines 2 later proved that to be the new trend from Paradox, but still.
Hey @gameranx you need to fix the info at the end of your video about Redfall. MS and Arkane announced a few days ago that the planned final patch with offline mode and a few other fixes will be coming out after all in the coming weeks. So it’s not all doom and gloom with Redfall.
On PS5 I only suffered one major issue on Jedi Survivor, there’s a point where dozens of droids flood the screen, amongst other enemies, and it slowed to an absolute crawl…didn’t experience any other major issues.
I just played Jedi Survivor in Mar/April over about 50 hours on a 5700X and 6700XT on on high at 1440p and had no crashes or issues at all during the playthrough.
Without patching, Far Cry 2's stealth system is broken in its vanilla form. A silenced headshot on any enemy in the game would still cause the NPC to shout "uuuuhhh!" and alert everyone. Considering how cool the diamond purchasing system was, the oversight was absolutely painful.
Red dead online never had a chance with gta online being as big of a cash cow as it is. They tried to monetize it but they screwed themselves by making gold an earnable currency so people would rather just grind missions than spend real cash. There weren’t any flying bikes and $10m cars for 12 year olds to send their moms into credit card debt over so they gave up on it.
One that still hurts is Command & Conquer 4. Yeah, the core gameplay itself was disappointing, but it was clearly unfinished as well. It got a few patches here and there IIRC, but it was very quickly abandoned. I would have loved to have seen what it could have become.
I played Jedi Survivor on pc a few weeks ago. I had zero technical issues with it. No performance issues, no crashes, no bugs. I was surprised to see this game on this list. Maybe I was lucky. Or maybe Falcon is just over dramatically exaggerating again.
One of best comebacks in game history is Dayz Standalone, the game was left to die and the devs took the money and went hiking and now we got new devs and the game is looking better then ever.
@@brodriguez11000 It's not even optional customization with how far they took it, vanilla HOI4 is practically unfinished when you look at how barebones the content is without DLC, I mean things that were present at launch with HOI3 like weapon purchases, intelligence agencies, collaboration gov'ts and espionage weren't even present and you *have to* buy DLC just to get them, not to mention how few countries even have focus tree's in the base game too
So sad to hear about Jedi Survivor, I tried it during the winter sale and I literally couldn't start the game, it would just kick me back to the menu. Not that I had any high hopes because the FPS counter never went above 47 in the menu and there was a ton of stutter
Jedi Survivor being on this list is surprising to me. Do people insist on playing every game with all the settings maxed regardless of performance? I bought a 4070Ti before the launch of Jedi Survivor and it played perfectly with settings at Medium/High.
I remember playing Terminator on PS2 in 2008, and it was the first time I played a game on hard mode. It crashed 7 hours in, and I never finished it. Still bugs me till this day
0:30 - No, Bioware didn't exist when Anthem was released. By that point, Bioware was dead, being turned into a 'Collector' by their 'Reaper' overlords.
While the game is far from busted, Gravity Rush 2 had a neat little online component back at launch in 2017. In it, you could go on little scavenger hunts for boxes full of loot, called Dusty coins that allowed you to acquire new items for Kat's home. Sadly, the servers got shutdown a little over a year later in 2018, meaning that cosmetic content is effectively impossible to access unless you import a save file or use a save editor. And while this didn't effect the game's trophies, it still means you won't be able to see all the costumes the game has to offer, though it should be noted that one costume was a preorder bonus that never got a post-launch release. Supposedly, the Gravity Rush games might be getting PC releases, but only time will tell since Sony game releases on PC can be hit or miss launch.
I work in the ER and sometimes it can get stressful, so I just want to come home and relax after a 12 hr shift. Know what does the job? Red Dead 2 (mostly online because I enjoy playing with my own character and participating in the events). There's something about riding my horse places to take in the scenery or picking a spot to fish while drinking a beer and maybe watch TH-cam at the same time. Call me crazy, but it's become therapeutic for me. Also, I haven't finished everything yet, so I still have things to do (I know eventually that will change). Still, I'll never forgive Rockstar for dumping RDR2 the way they did.
Re:Verse hurt because I remember playing RE:Outbreak and they were amazing. And yes I understand that they were not considered competitive multi-player games.
Red Dead Online is a lot of fun. I love doing the Bounty Hunter missions. I was wondering why the story just seemed to stop and never pick up again. But the Bounty Hunter missions, themselves, are a lot of fun.
Bro Jedi Survivor on PC is ridiculous! I had to set my settings very specifically to get it to work and even then the frame rate will go down to unplayability in some areas! A shame because its such a good story.
Redfall did get an offline mode. It was part of the last update they did and yes, I did in fact play the game and played it in offline mode on console.
I’m half way through Lords of the Fallen and I must say it’s one of the best games I’ve played in quite some time. For those who played it on launch, give it another run. For those who haven’t touched it, grab it now! They have added tons of patches and updates. It’s a balanced masterpiece in my opinion.
I recently started played Jedi: Fallen Order on PS5. I experienced random frame drops, characters teleporting and clipping into walls, physics objects (like hair) resetting every time I look away and look back, enemy AI just standing there doing nothing, and one cutscene where the audio had 30 seconds of desync to the point I had control of the character again before I finished hearing what was just said... I'd complain that this isn't what I paid for, but I got for free from PS+, so...
As a primarily solo gamer I'm never disheveled about online/multi-player failures such as the case with RDR2, but buggy PC ports will always be the bane of my gaming experience..."damn, damn, DAMN!"
I really hate when a game with several years on it still has game crashing bugs. For example, I'm currently replaying Rage 2 on PC after these years since it was launched and it still has a crashing bug when you enter the vehicle update menu using the mouse.
Arkham Origina is missing. That one deserves special attention since WB Games blatantly declared they would NOT fix it to focus on the paid DLC instead (which was also broken AF).
Actually the offline mode for Redfall is coming. It will be a last thing before the studio is completely shut down. The sad thing is that if the offline mode update has any bugs or glitches, those probably wont get fixed.
I got Jedi Survivor on sale in December of last year and had no issues playing it, none of the memory leak issues, no crashes but the only issue i had was low FPS whenever you had to use the holo map on the ship even since then they have fixed it but if people are still having issues sounds like a hardware issue.
I loved RD Online. I actually left the main game to play it. Then the lack of prey started happening and I got tired of killing crows and quit. The random winter blizzards were pretty great.
I played and finished Jedi Survivor on PC beginning this year. On High settings, 4k. I had 1 time the game got stuck and 1 crash, no idea what people are talking about, these are normal numbers for any game. If it was worse at launch, they did fix something.
When Red Dead Redemption 2 was first announced and going through its hype cycle I predicted, even then, that Red Dead Online would be abandoned within the first three years. The simple fact of the matter is, Red Dead's setting doesn't provide the sort of microtransactions that Rockstar thrives on - no mega yachts, orbital weapons, vehicles, aircraft, or luxury houses. Even the clothing options are so much more limited due to the setting. And GTA V's cancelled story DLC already made it plenty clear that Rockstar only cares about the money at this point.
Age of Empires III was abandoned for years. Then when someone resurrected it and decided to patch it years later, they simply rebranded a 3rd party mod that was centered heavily on an aggressive style of multiplayer play, which just made it even worse if you didn't play the multiplayer.

Red Dead Online didn't get support because there were no Shark Premium Credit Cards in the late 19th century.
The way they monetized the game was garbage. Instead of letting you purchase the same currency you earned in the game they let you purchase gold, wich could be used to get rid of the level gate on certain items. This gave people who were willing to spend money a huge edge over other players.

One of the devs for the games responded and asked why we'd want to play the same character in the same role in every game. I wanted to play the Medic, but even with three other players who didn't want to play medic, I still only got to play medic maybe 3 times out of 5.
I have pretty much the exact same approach to how I play games and if a game can't facilitate that playstyle then I don't play it lol. I might be on the spectrum though, idk.
Man, Evolved is to this day one of my favourite games of all time, it's such a shame that easy fixes were never implemented and they let the game die
Honestly, I love playing specific rolls in some games. in BF3/4 I was heavy into medic. But I play with a friend and usually go point/support and she does ranged/tank and it feels great.. being forced into something youre not into sucks
As someone who plays FF14 and is used to playing the same role all the time and others doing the same that is a silly question. I did enjoy Evolve but only when I was the monster. I hated playing the classes.
Silly response from the dev is what I mean. Not that your question is silly.

Thank you. Really pisses me off how they only timestamp Number 10, Number 9 etc instead of the actual name of the games.
@@markysumm72 It definitely would be nice if they did something like No. 10 *insert game/whatever here* and so on.
Do yall not have subtitles?
@@changotv5847 we're not talking bout subtitles.
You're not that guy pal
Biomutant is a game that comes to mind. I don't think it's a buggy mess (I haven't played much of it) but it is a game that was just entirely abandoned and forgotten after release even though it had a fair bit of marketing prior to launch and got at least average reviews.
I tried with that game. i just found it super boring
It needed more content but instead they spent time developing a 4K 60fps patch for PS5 and enhanced graphics for the PC port. Making it shinier doesn't help it be less boring and bare-bones.
That one hurt, I was pretty excited for it but it did end up feeling unfinished. It's still pretty fun at times but it could have been so much better.
Problem with the game is that the "No real language and the narrator is telling you everything they say all the damn time" gets so damn tedious to sith through very quick, the recycled rinse-and-repeat-content doesn't really help it either.
@@busterkeaton1041 yea I was really interested pre launch. Got the game eventually but just didn't get very far. I'll give it an honest try someday lol.
every single time anyone mentions anthem my heart cries a little as this game could've been a real gem but EA turn it into a trash job
I just restarted Anthem on sunday cuz I was seeing alot of mention of it lately on youtube comments and vids. So far its better then release but story and gameplay are still the same. Bugs and other small things are much better tho
Agreed, I was so hyped for it when I saw the initial teaser and was depressed to hear it just flopped
I’m mad about the mass effect andromeda disrespect. Go play the trilogy and then andromeda right now and tell me otherwise.
They tried so hard to make it viral too 😂
Anthem had potential for sure. I had high hopes for the dlc roadmap they initially announced before it was canceled.
"It's a Venn diagram that a...circle" that got me 😂
Falcon definitely needs to gear up a follow up to this list! BioMutant, D&D Dark Alliance, and Necromunda: Hired Gun immediately came to mind! Though, the state of gaming...this topic could be an ongoing series :/
How about no bozo?
@@ramrodbldm9876 wut?
4:00 Jedi survivor has actually had 3 steam builds uploaded to steamdb in the past couple weeks which tells us that its very likely that the game will be updated soon hopefully
Pc is easy to fix it’s the Xbox that turns into a bug fest
There is more wrong info in this video. They removed Denuvo DRM from Back 4 Blood only 1-2 weeks ago.
It were confirmed 2 weeks ago that Redfall will get a patch with lots of fixes that also includes offline mode.
You can't trust any video on TH-cam in general anymore as they don't bother to do research anymore. There is frequently factual errors in non gaming videos too.
I've been playing Jedi Survivor on my PC for the last couple months through GamePass and haven't had any issues. I was expecting it to still have some bugs but haven't noticed anything.
@@matthollywood8060 I think thats the problem with list videos like this, they end up throwing random shit in to reach 10 examples
0:54 That's not a bug. The car is supposed to slip unless you use the 6 wheel drive
The clips used to show the games in Gameranx videos is so interesting to me. It's like an AI chose them. They're usually completely unrelated to what's being pointed out.
"Breath of the Wild has some of the CRAZIEST physics systems. You can build ANYTHING"
*shows ten seconds clip of someone changing the resolution setting in the main menu*
I played a bit of Redfall because it was on Gamepass and because it was Arkane Austin. As mentioned there were kernels of ideas in there. It wasn't irredeemably bad, it was just clear that the studio didn't want to make a live service. You'd find corners of great environmental story telling, the gun play was actually pretty satisfying. Its just such a shame that they got forced into making it as it was. There's an alternative timeline where they were allowed to make a version of the game that played to their strengths. I wish i'd got to see it and unfortunately now we'll never see them have a chance to do anything again. It sucks pretty damn hard.
Seems like the same problem as suicide squad game, if you want to make live service game you should understand about how good live games actually works and find people that know how to it, thats what you get when forcing someone to make stuff outside their true ability. Even if that person can the result always awfull
They also lost 70% of their team during development lol

Jedi Survivor is such a great game, it’s such a shame it’s reputation has been almost irreversibly tainted by EA’s laziness in failing to support it with good game-fixing patches.
The Avengers game, it had some flaws, but the combat was actually fantastic. In my opinion, I still play it today occasionally as I find it so fun.
I love running around as Black Panther, with the close of flying around as Thor, and pinning down enemies with mjolnir.
It never got fixed but if it was some sort of open world i reckon it could have done better
The way Rockstar failed to capitalize on and then abandoned RDR2 still burns me. I don't know how they couldn't figure out that the GTA and RDR fandoms don't completely overlap and that they will want slightly different things.
They did figure it out. RDR fans are interested in stories and detailed worlds. GTA fans are cosmetics addicts, and will blow their rent money on GTA$ just to get their fix the day a new tshirt drops. Guess which one's more profitable. I'm half expecting that GTA VI was only approved because it could serve as a platform for GTAO2.
The offline patch for Redfall was announced almost a week ago. It's still coming.
Was wondering why they didn't make an addendum
i really hate the rdr2 audio problem that fucks up when you are using an audio interface. never have it in any other title, do not have the audio problem when connecting my headphones straight into the motherboard. I have seen only temporary fixes that just fix it until it randomly just start crackling again. other audio playing in another window also does not crackle, just the in game audio.
I must have got away lucky with this one.
I've ONLY ever played it through non-onboard audio hardware, sound cards internal and external and DACs and it's always been good for me. I didn't know this was a problem.
Man that sucks.
The offline patch for redfall is still coming, confirmed by the studio. You do what you want with this information.
Quote "We are working to release our final update, Game Update 4, that brings revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, Single Player Pausing, Offline Mode, and more"... as you said, for what it's worth!
Yeah, Microsoft stated that a patch for offline mode and the ability to pause the game were released on May 30, 2024.
I've yet to test this myself since I'm currently playing Outriders. I had planned to record a playthrough of Redfall despite its reception. So I still plan to as long as I can play the game, I suppose.
gameranx, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
I played Jedi Survivor on Xbox when I it came out. The only bug I got was the inability to do bounties, which was fixed. It was pretty good on the Series X.
I'm now replaying it on PC, courtesy of Game Pass, and in its current state, it's pretty solid. No excessive slowdowns and I'm getting a solid, unvarying framerate of 40+ FPS with everything maxed for quality on a 4yr old 2070.
The devs may have moved on, but it's not the absolute mess that most of the other games mentioned are.
I dont get how EA is still a company, the amount of IP’s and companies they have crashed and burned? Is it FIFA? Is that the reason they are still going?
Ya it’s EA sports as a whole that keeps them up and running. FIFA, NHL, Madden. The casual gamers are what keeps the company a float by buying the same game year after year
EA sports is bank for them! They're never going out of business unless sports does..
People are dumb and keep paying for broken games at full prices annually. Some people just don't wise up I guess.
Wouldn't be surprised if every project is assigned a number of whales, and the project is entirely funded by them through "micro"transactions.
@@TheNotSureunfortunately many people don't know yet the monstrosity of EA, many casuals and beginners don't understand the current news in the community.
I can tell you this because soo many my friends only play football games
I had almost no issues with Jedi Survivor when I played it at launch on a PC with a 5800X3d and a 3070 running at 3440x1440 at recommended settings. It froze 1 time and crashed to desktop 1 time in an entire playthrough. I since upgraded the 3070 to a 4080 and replayed the entire game at max settings, with raytracing maxed, with just a few framedrops in certain areas on Kobo but no other issues in the entire playthrough.
Vampyr, it's another game I loved, but MAN, those loading times and other bugs just scare people away from it more than vampires themselves do LOL
I played Vampyr and god was It a relief whenn I finished it, so many F questions even the lady at the end ( I forgot her name) literally says "more questions?"
@@DanielRamos-tq7cz Yeah! Excessive questions during quests LOL, and to be a vampire, he was so damn slow as well.
They way you fight on that game could have been more fluid and powerful I always felt weak in that game
It was straight up criminal how EA handled Wild Hearts, they were so close to a GotY contender and a cash cow IP, and all they had to do was invest some support in it. It genuinely makes me sad to think what could have been. I really hope some very clever EA Exec' recognises this and gives it another shot.
Wild hearts was a Koei game Published by EA. Why should ea give them money to fix their game ?
@@NeonCyberSamurai who gives a f***? The point remains the same
I had one game crash in Jedi Survivor and it was when I went into an elevator... The rest of the game looked and played fantastic.
That’s good to hear, thx. I bought it on sale and I’m looking forward to trying it out.
@@chekote even on 3070ti i had a lot of stutter. Only way it ran smooth was with dlss
@@gthakur17 yeah, I heard even people with a 4090 had issues. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻
@@gthakur17runs really well on my 2070. Maybe there's some other hardware conflicts? Then again, lots of comments are calling out other entries so not sure what went wrong with this video, definitely not up to the usual standard.
Resident Evil REverse has a lot of remastered outfits from the old games that are worth porting into the campaigns of the other games, like RE6 Leon, Battlesuit Jill, RE6 Ada, RE: Revelations 2 Claire
Anthem was actually a shame cause the gameplay was fun and it had potential
Respectfully disagree.
Finally another person who feels the same as me!
I only played for a couple hours but I enjoyed what I played. The world was SEVERELY lacking in all aspects and the gameplay loop was incredibly repetitive and frankly boring but the gun play was good, the movement felt fluid and I was excited to see where the suits could go. Unfortunately they didn't make millions on release so abandon it and move on I guess
It did have real potential. They just fell flat. Sucks big time.
I would have loved to try it........
Thankful for this video. A number of games on here I've been thinking lately, "I should try them and see how they are now." Cause it's pretty common place anymore to release turds and then polish them after they're in people's hands.
Top 10 games where executives interference ruined the game
That's what this should be called
Not, really, all of them seems to have different reason for being broken
I love Stellaris, and was interested in Star Trek Infinite, but not happy that I bought it now... the game had potential and I was hoping it would be updated
By not fixing these games, they effectively _neutered_ them…
i know this video isn't about bugs specifically, but i'm a guy who mostly only buys games a year or two after release on sale. i'll hit spots constantly where i can't progress, google the problem, and be hit with TONS of results that it's a known day one bug, and i'm still experiencing it YEARS after launch.
I know everyone gives Mass Effect Andromeda a hard time. And yeah it was flawed but I have to say I enjoyed it! I thought it was a pretty good time. I played it back to back because I really enjoyed the gameplay.
Yeah I played it in 2022 and it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t as good as the original trilogy, but I didn’t hate it either. Looked beautiful on my new PC at the time as well.
Recently started playing it too and its really not terrible. Its ofc not the original trilogy but its still a nice space rpg
I did too, the combat was fun, it just got a bit same-y after a while.
Considering they did a lot of patches and updates to fix most of the launch problems, it looks and plays really nice now. Wish these channels would point that out instead of just lying about how the game is now.
Yeah I enjoyed it quite a bit, as did my wife, it's rare to get even a decent OW sci-fi RPG, so it did it's job for me, I actually like it better than the trilogy. I'm not a big fan of playing through stories. I prefer the Bethesda and Piranha Bites formula of factions for different play styles type of thing. Now I have Starfield a similarly received game. Which I also enjoy quite a bit.
Anthem is the exact reason that I'll never preorder a game again, learned a valuable lesson on that when a group of friends talked me into it and then the devs gave up on the roadmap and all of their promises within about 3 months of release and delivered maybe half of the basic promises and none of the crazy ones. You can also add every game with Dynasty at the end to the list because the developers and publisher are scammers, both Farmer's Dynasty and Lumberjack's Dynasty are buggy and unplayable garbage that they refuse to update into a playable condition, and even though Medieval Dynasty is in much more polished condition they only gave half of the content to last generation systems even though the game is the same price and still runs on the hardware. The biggest update for the game with an entire second map is only released on PC and the newest generation of systems, so they charge the same for the game regardless of the content you get which isn't right. I would understand if they just didn't release the game for PS4 but since they released the game and sold it to us we should get the same updates and content as everyone else. Would love to see a video covering the topic from someone with a platform because I've got no reach unfortunately.
I’m still salty about Anthem
It's an Ironman game. It's a scifi space ironman game. It could've been a lifelong beloved ip 😭
I have a 2080 and had no major issues with Jedi Survior. Maybe a bit of frame loss in town but had a great time!
Sable for PS5 is totally a mess,
It barely reaches 15 or 20 fps,
And the devs had the audacity to openly say that they won't fix their game as they are working on their next game,
What a shame 😤
And everyone will preorder, rinse repeat.
@@shmodzilla I agree,
Those people are obtuse and pathetic 😒
Yup super disappointing..
RDO deserved better, so much better. They didn't even add solo/invite lobbies and then abandon it, they just abandoned it.
I was surprised with jedi survivor being on the list because I played it with my 3060 and it was ok, I did not encounter any bugs or lag.
They were talking about the PC port.
@@Churi_Venatriss Yeah and the person you replied to was talking about playing it on PC.
@@Welshmanshots Oh, I misread 3060 as "360" and thought they meant X-Box. XD
We need more Falcon impressions! That “EA Games” was dope 😂
funnily enough I never had any issues with Jedi Survivor on PC, and my desktop could only be considered as mid at best... guess I lucked out
Same, i’d heard all kinds of horror stories, but apart from the odd framey cutscene, it was fine
What's yalls PC hardware please? I returned the game because mine couldn't even load the opening logos. I loved fallen order, sad I still haven't played survivor.
Think I may have had 1 crash and a little bit of stuttering, but that was with dozens of hours of play. Had a blast with the game, honestly. Seems the 30xx graphics cards didn't have the same issues as the 40xx cards.
@@sheikhrobbie466 i did encounter a game breaker that stopped an optional boss from spawning at the end of a questline (which made trophy impossible), but that was patched a few weeks later.
Same here... Played it with a i7-12700, a 3080 w/10 gig ram, and 32 gig DDR4 3600 and it played just fine except for one or two cutscenes that stuttered a tiny bit.
Ty for +immediately+ mentioning the 2077 redemption. That game is soooo important to me, it’s my favorite game ever (that and Alan Wake 2), and any love shown to CDPR makes me very happy ❤️
Please Bioware, I dont care if it takes even 5 more years, just please release DA Dreadwolf in a non-buggy state and without microtransactions. All I want🙏
Agreed but Bioware has no say in that it's EA 😮😅
I hear you, but do you honestly think gamers won't complain about something? 40% of the Bottom 20 games released on Steam are from the past two years and a few of them are not actually bad. It's disproportionate, games are not actually much worse now than 20 years ago. Helldivers 2 was briefly one of the worst reviewed games of all time on Steam. No matter what Sony did, it's not fair to the devs.
Gamers are in the habit of bombing anything that doesn't meet their expectations. If gamers aren't complaining about Denuvo, then it's about EA Launcher. They complain about old tweets, balancing, server issues, and many additional issues which are out of the control of the developer. More often than not, gamers don't actually have their own opinions, they find an influencer they like and just copy their opinions. Way too many Steam reviews, even positive ones, are copy/pasted, part of a review brigade. Yes, we get games that release to acclaim and good performance like Elden Ring, Hi-Fi Rush, etc., but anything less than perfection, anything less than meeting all expectations, and gamers lose their minds
@@Mmarcossith678-33uu Both have a history of messing up great game series. Im hoping Dragon Age bucks this trend and releases in a functional state that has all the love put into it that Inquisition had
Sad to hear about Stark Trek Infinite being abandoned. I've had nothing but good experiences with Paradox games, recommend one to a friend under the promise it'll be barebones at launch, but get better with time, only for that to be the one time they abandon a game immediately. Cities Skylines 2 later proved that to be the new trend from Paradox, but still.
Jedi survivor PC player here. While perfomance has issues, I had literally 0 crashes or bugs with the game.
Hey @gameranx you need to fix the info at the end of your video about Redfall. MS and Arkane announced a few days ago that the planned final patch with offline mode and a few other fixes will be coming out after all in the coming weeks. So it’s not all doom and gloom with Redfall.
Battlefield 2042 not being on the list is crazy
Cause they patched the hell out of it and was playable and decent like 15 months later. Yes, it never got super good, but it was alright by the end.
Well first off every BF games does end up getting patched and playable, i played it last year on pc and i had no issues.
On PS5 I only suffered one major issue on Jedi Survivor, there’s a point where dozens of droids flood the screen, amongst other enemies, and it slowed to an absolute crawl…didn’t experience any other major issues.
When will people learn to not buy day one, until they stop these scabby practices.
We need a part 2 of this one
👍
According to rock-paper-shotgun (and their linked tweet from the devs) redfall is still getting an offline patch along with single player pause.
I just played Jedi Survivor in Mar/April over about 50 hours on a 5700X and 6700XT on on high at 1440p and had no crashes or issues at all during the playthrough.
yeah, no issues with me either.
Red Dead Online's abandonment hurts. I find myself wanting to return to it, but I always remember there's nothing there waiting for me and get sad.
I feel that, once I'm done my 100% story run there's realistically gonna be nothing left for me to do with rdr2 since online is so barren
Without patching, Far Cry 2's stealth system is broken in its vanilla form. A silenced headshot on any enemy in the game would still cause the NPC to shout "uuuuhhh!" and alert everyone. Considering how cool the diamond purchasing system was, the oversight was absolutely painful.
Red dead online never had a chance with gta online being as big of a cash cow as it is. They tried to monetize it but they screwed themselves by making gold an earnable currency so people would rather just grind missions than spend real cash. There weren’t any flying bikes and $10m cars for 12 year olds to send their moms into credit card debt over so they gave up on it.
One that still hurts is Command & Conquer 4. Yeah, the core gameplay itself was disappointing, but it was clearly unfinished as well. It got a few patches here and there IIRC, but it was very quickly abandoned. I would have loved to have seen what it could have become.
Did RDR2 ever get legit HDR?
Bravo, its hard narrowing down ten games out of 1000’s that have not been fixed
I played Jedi Survivor on pc a few weeks ago. I had zero technical issues with it. No performance issues, no crashes, no bugs. I was surprised to see this game on this list. Maybe I was lucky. Or maybe Falcon is just over dramatically exaggerating again.
Agreed Falcon does get all the complain/whiney videos almost to the point where if I dont hear Jake in the intro i might skip it.
One of best comebacks in game history is Dayz Standalone, the game was left to die and the devs took the money and went hiking and now we got new devs and the game is looking better then ever.
thank you for calling out paradox, their games are so clearly missing huge features.
Good idea taken too far. Optional customization through DLC that makes it a play-your-way game.
@@brodriguez11000 It's not even optional customization with how far they took it, vanilla HOI4 is practically unfinished when you look at how barebones the content is without DLC, I mean things that were present at launch with HOI3 like weapon purchases, intelligence agencies, collaboration gov'ts and espionage weren't even present and you *have to* buy DLC just to get them, not to mention how few countries even have focus tree's in the base game too
So sad to hear about Jedi Survivor, I tried it during the winter sale and I literally couldn't start the game, it would just kick me back to the menu.
Not that I had any high hopes because the FPS counter never went above 47 in the menu and there was a ton of stutter
Rockstar no, it was Take 2 interactive.
I'm almost certain that Jedi Survivor has had updates to the PC version over the past year that makes it a lot more playable
Jedi Survivor being on this list is surprising to me. Do people insist on playing every game with all the settings maxed regardless of performance? I bought a 4070Ti before the launch of Jedi Survivor and it played perfectly with settings at Medium/High.
I remember playing Terminator on PS2 in 2008, and it was the first time I played a game on hard mode. It crashed 7 hours in, and I never finished it. Still bugs me till this day
You know what did get updated though?
Skyrim
And in typical bethesda fashion, it broke stuff
Red Dead online was a real bummer. It was one of the few games that even I, as someone who doesn't really like multiplayer, actually enjoyed playing.
Starfield is still broken
0:30 - No, Bioware didn't exist when Anthem was released. By that point, Bioware was dead, being turned into a 'Collector' by their 'Reaper' overlords.
“Hey, remember that thing going on?” “NO! There’s other things going on now!” I’m dead.
While the game is far from busted, Gravity Rush 2 had a neat little online component back at launch in 2017. In it, you could go on little scavenger hunts for boxes full of loot, called Dusty coins that allowed you to acquire new items for Kat's home. Sadly, the servers got shutdown a little over a year later in 2018, meaning that cosmetic content is effectively impossible to access unless you import a save file or use a save editor. And while this didn't effect the game's trophies, it still means you won't be able to see all the costumes the game has to offer, though it should be noted that one costume was a preorder bonus that never got a post-launch release.
Supposedly, the Gravity Rush games might be getting PC releases, but only time will tell since Sony game releases on PC can be hit or miss launch.
Thanks for mentioning KSP 2! :D i knew if someone speaks about it, then you! Thanks!
I work in the ER and sometimes it can get stressful, so I just want to come home and relax after a 12 hr shift. Know what does the job? Red Dead 2 (mostly online because I enjoy playing with my own character and participating in the events). There's something about riding my horse places to take in the scenery or picking a spot to fish while drinking a beer and maybe watch TH-cam at the same time. Call me crazy, but it's become therapeutic for me. Also, I haven't finished everything yet, so I still have things to do (I know eventually that will change). Still, I'll never forgive Rockstar for dumping RDR2 the way they did.
Re:Verse hurt because I remember playing RE:Outbreak and they were amazing. And yes I understand that they were not considered competitive multi-player games.
That is spot on about the Paradox DLC monetization strategy.
Red Dead Online is a lot of fun. I love doing the Bounty Hunter missions. I was wondering why the story just seemed to stop and never pick up again. But the Bounty Hunter missions, themselves, are a lot of fun.
Bro Jedi Survivor on PC is ridiculous! I had to set my settings very specifically to get it to work and even then the frame rate will go down to unplayability in some areas! A shame because its such a good story.
As a Trekkie i was super hyped for ST:Infinite - but it was literally just a Stellaris alpha-version with Star Trek skins, so bad...
Redfall did get an offline mode. It was part of the last update they did and yes, I did in fact play the game and played it in offline mode on console.
I’m half way through Lords of the Fallen and I must say it’s one of the best games I’ve played in quite some time. For those who played it on launch, give it another run. For those who haven’t touched it, grab it now!
They have added tons of patches and updates. It’s a balanced masterpiece in my opinion.
Raid mode for Revelations 1 and Revelations 2 absolute peak bonus mode
I recently started played Jedi: Fallen Order on PS5. I experienced random frame drops, characters teleporting and clipping into walls, physics objects (like hair) resetting every time I look away and look back, enemy AI just standing there doing nothing, and one cutscene where the audio had 30 seconds of desync to the point I had control of the character again before I finished hearing what was just said... I'd complain that this isn't what I paid for, but I got for free from PS+, so...
If Capcom wants a successful multiplayer RE game, they should just make a new Outbreak. Those games are pretty well-regarded if I'm not mistaken.
As a primarily solo gamer I'm never disheveled about online/multi-player failures such as the case with RDR2, but buggy PC ports will always be the bane of my gaming experience..."damn, damn, DAMN!"
I really hate when a game with several years on it still has game crashing bugs. For example, I'm currently replaying Rage 2 on PC after these years since it was launched and it still has a crashing bug when you enter the vehicle update menu using the mouse.
Arkham Origina is missing. That one deserves special attention since WB Games blatantly declared they would NOT fix it to focus on the paid DLC instead (which was also broken AF).
Actually the offline mode for Redfall is coming. It will be a last thing before the studio is completely shut down. The sad thing is that if the offline mode update has any bugs or glitches, those probably wont get fixed.
Honorable mentions; Far Cry 5 and 6, and Fallout New Vegas. Great games, but crash bugs make it a pain to play.
Ur comments on EA and Paradox are on point loved it!
About ksp2, they can also shift development to a studio they have more confidence in to salvage a tarnished reputation
I got Jedi Survivor on sale in December of last year and had no issues playing it, none of the memory leak issues, no crashes but the only issue i had was low FPS whenever you had to use the holo map on the ship even since then they have fixed it but if people are still having issues sounds like a hardware issue.
I loved RD Online. I actually left the main game to play it. Then the lack of prey started happening and I got tired of killing crows and quit. The random winter blizzards were pretty great.
I played and finished Jedi Survivor on PC beginning this year. On High settings, 4k.
I had 1 time the game got stuck and 1 crash, no idea what people are talking about, these are normal numbers for any game.
If it was worse at launch, they did fix something.
When Red Dead Redemption 2 was first announced and going through its hype cycle I predicted, even then, that Red Dead Online would be abandoned within the first three years.
The simple fact of the matter is, Red Dead's setting doesn't provide the sort of microtransactions that Rockstar thrives on - no mega yachts, orbital weapons, vehicles, aircraft, or luxury houses. Even the clothing options are so much more limited due to the setting.
And GTA V's cancelled story DLC already made it plenty clear that Rockstar only cares about the money at this point.
Age of Empires III was abandoned for years. Then when someone resurrected it and decided to patch it years later, they simply rebranded a 3rd party mod that was centered heavily on an aggressive style of multiplayer play, which just made it even worse if you didn't play the multiplayer.
