It is also in my top favorite games to play. I just finished what I think is my 8th playthrough. The game is so unique when it comes to the comradery of the team. No other game I can think of comes close to it. Such a special game in my heart.
Despite its flaws I have loved every second of playing FFXV. I've beaten the game like 4 or 5 times over and never get bored of how satisfying basic sword combat feels. Also Episodes Ignis and Ardyn are some of my favourite DLCs for a videogame out there. c:
FFXV is heartbreaking to me. I loved it for a good long while, until then it just kind of finished and I realised that I had absolutely no idea what the story was and nothing made any sense. It was such a beautiful world and the gameplay was pretty good mostly, but it just absolutely had no coherence and was a narrative disaster. I wish they would just tear it apart and remake it into what it should have been.
Rage 2 is at the top of my list for this. The gun play was some of the most fun I've ever had, but the world was just huge, empty, and boring. The convoys were maybe the only thing that justified the size. Also, you get the best vehicle at the very beginning, which makes finding other cars kinda meh.
Rage gave the feeling of this is such a cool idea, Rage 2 will hit it out of the park .... and then didnt. THe shooting of individual parts effecting & injuring the enemy and their response to that injury, soooo cool.
I heard that Arkane was hoping that Redfall would get cancelled after the buyout of Bethesda cause nothing was coming together and it was Bethesda’s idea to make it a live service game before the buyout, but Microsoft told them to work on it and gave them all the freedom/time to develop the game until it wasn’t.
i really liked dante's inferno. i remember replaying it several times over. i remember when i first finished it i immediated hoped they would make a sequel with the other circle but quickly realised that was a pipedream.
As ridiculous as it sounds, I truly hope for a remake of this game. At its highs, it's the best game I've ever played, and at its lows, it's below average
Didn’t the Royale or Royal edition fix it? I heard some streams said it was better after. I’m not much of a FF guy, but had the impression it was okay now
@@Tiger0fDojima "fixed". it was something you had to pay for even if you had already gotten the collectors edition of the original game. It made some things better, but still wasn't enough, and even then it was missing a lot of things that were the cancelled dlcs
Honestly the fishing in FF15 is the best I've played in any game, to the point that it had me holding my controller sideways and spinning the stick like a reel. Easily in my top 5 favorite things about that game alongside the food models, road trip vibes, combat once you get all the swords and bonus gear from the secret dungeon, and of course the flying car upgrade.
I agree with what was said about FFXV, but even still. I have about 150 hours played and still have far to go to finish all the content. I haven't even done most of the super dungeons. I wish making a game than can keep people busy for at least a couple years was more common. Probably why i like metal gear solid v so much
Honestly I don’t get all the hate for it, I know it wasn’t quite what people were expecting and the time that the game took to release was far too long…but for an unfinished game it was fun, I liked the story, and I was SO attached to the characters. Not very many games can make me feel the level of love that I had for my boys in FFXV.
@@perceidshonestly I've been wondering the same thing, I've been having fun in it I'm about 80hrs in and trying to get my platinum I'm about 80% done, combat is pretty fun I like the warping power alot its really cool.
I went into FFXV knowing nothing about the game's development. I had zero expectations and I absolutely loved the game and put over 100 hours into it. I was so immersed in it that I didn't even notice if the game felt unfinished or not.
@@Xandersama The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is split into 3 distinct sections. Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Given the ending to the game, there was alot of potential to continue the story into the other parts of the Divine Comedy.
I do want to see an RPG try the roadtrip angle again. Four friends hanging out in their car, chatting as they head from one place to another, was a high point of the Final Fantasy XV experience and I figure that it would probably be a high point of any other game that includes it.
100% Although you did put your finger on an important detail, it needs to be played on high difficulty. Otherwise it just doesn't seem to have any tension.
Such a massive, MASSIVE departure from the Magnum Opus, Chaos Theory. I got an hour in, and never cared to finish. Revisited in 2018 with a Humble bundle that included the game. (Maybe Fanatic? Don't remember) Got 2 hours in, and never cared to finish. What a rocky series. The first two games, although important to the genre, are difficult to go back to. 2007's "Chaos Theory" still plays like it was released a few years ago. The unprecedented amount of detail and AI improvements over the first two games were second to none. No game had a progressive "drying" system where you would dry off after swimming and leave smaller and smaller puddles of water behind you as you walked. Why didn't they fucking build off Chaos Theory, I will never, ever know.
As soon as I saw FF15 in the thumbnail I flew in ready to call you out. You hit all the points and still talked about it with a love that sounded more like sadness rather than anger. FF15 is amazing but it really could have been better.
I will defend Dragon Age 2 as my favorite of the series, but there is an outside factor. It came out a few weeks after my mother passed away. If there was a time in my life that I needed to get lost in a narrative and ignore the real world, it was then. So for all of its flaws, it succeeded in doing what I needed it to do, when I needed it to.
I feel ya there. DAO was the same for me: lost my dad, stepdad, and best friend in September 2014 and was just lost in grief and drugs. DAO was my escape from all that. So I can respect that feeling
I'll defend it because it's a fantastic game. It has fun gameplay and the story is incredible. It got hate for not being Origins, but I loved what it was.
ffxv has some mechanics that really need to become mainstream in open world rpgs like leveling up after you take rest rather than automatically leveling after defeating a monster like in other games follower ai and their interactions eating food gives you stat boosts instead of health charecter model keeps getting filthy unless u rest in a hotel with bathroom
While I enjoyed the zipping around with the armiger, I am glad that 7 remake and 16 kept the core battle system, cause that's the most solid I've seen since KH2.
2nd and last points so fucking awful, no thanks. keep that shit out of my games.... having to constantly BATHE IN A VIDEO GAME??? fuck that. having to wait until you rest to level up like in fking dark souls in an open world RPG??? what the fuck is wrong with you that you'd think that's a good idea!?!?!?!?!?
I remember renting, and beating Dante's Inferno way back in the day. Always thought it was just an awesome one-off that was a great alternative to God of War 1-3.
Splinter Cell: Conviction to me was my favorite Splinter Cell of all time. It had a great story and exciting fast paced stealth. Plus the interrogations right from the start were badass. I still play through it once a year or so.
I played double agent with my father and man what a wild ride. We booted up conviction and my dad heard all the cursing and was like, “Yep we are done”.
On Fable 3: I invested in so much real estate; owned so many towns that the treasury never ran dry during rent. I even was able to lower the rent for all my tenants. I was a beloved king😂
I am happy and always blown away by Gameranx on how they are able come up with ideas non stop on such a wide field of topics for the uploads, just love it. Thanks, I always am excited to view new video of yours ! ( Sorry for grammar, I am not native English )
Splinter Cell Conviction is a great game imo. People just wanted another old school SC and since it wasnt that then people dismissed it instead of giving it the chance. The campaign was great and it had a phenomenal coop campaign too
@@alexandroswashere3089 turn based has its audience. I wouldn't mind maybe not AAA game but decent turn based entry final fantasy sprinkled every couple of years
I absolutely love DA2. It's probably my fave game of all time. 26 completely playthroughs. I could ignore the rough bits because the good stuff was so good. Would've loved to see what the devs could've done if they didn't get hamstrung by a short dev cycle. I also love ff15 so much. Though, I do think it was greatly improved after a lot of patches. Still, the characters were great and I loved the story a lot. Made me tear up at the end
I remember buying that game new and only finishing I was young and could not afford to buy many games, such a massive dissapointment. Like they didnt have time to make more than 1 map? c'mon man. Then add the absolutely shit gameplay to that. If they had kept the gameplay and mechanics from the first game it would have been a much much better game..
FFXV was like the 8th game I played from the franchise (I started with FFVII back in the 90's) and I loved it, it made it not wanna go back to turn base combat ever again and FFVII Remake and FFXVI confirmed it to me. Also loved Dante's Inferno.
Man, hit the nail on the head about MGS 5. I really enjoyed that gameplay a lot and played it just over the 100 hour mark. I know what you mean by it feeling like something's missing. I will say the end result does kinda fit the theme of the story, in a way. I'm definitely glad I played it but I totally get where people are coming from when it comes to the story feeling unfinished.
I felt sad and pained when MGS5 was revealed as number one on this list. It could have been so much more at the end Such a great game, but was not allowed to be finished
Yes but the story counts too, crazy we waited decades for Kojima to get the only the always not perfect or accessible right in mgs which is the gameplay and then they took half of what we loved about mgs out which is like the 2 half hours cutscenes.
Final Fantasy XV is one of my top three games, however when I got it it was my first final fantasy and I didn't know about its history so when I started playing I didn't go in with any expectations so I really enjoyed it.
it was the same for me! my first final fantasy and i had such a blast, got platinum for it yesterday after around 120hours playing casually, and now im gonna 100% it on steam ☺️
For me FFXV is one of than saddest gameing story in my life. I had money rdy for my ps 3 (which in the end i didnt bought), waiting for legendary FF XIII versus. The final product had nothing from ogrinal trailer, other the main characters which was changed anyway. When i Look at 15 i get this sad feeling each time, that i could play masterpiece but now i never will.
@@OmnigmaTheMaster For me, I was looking at FF15 as the next hope for FF, I hadn't played a FF game since FF10. Everything looked epic. The open landscapes with FF Monsters in them, and the original music video trailer. But then it released and honestly looked like one of those badly designed MMOs. Nothing felt epic about this game, and the story seemed nonsensical. I could never get into it, and never bought it. I ended up waiting for 16 which was the right move, as 16 is a game I loved and completed 100%. I have full trust in CBU3 games now.
For me it's Little Hope (from The Dark Pictures Anthology): a very interesting mystery about a group of people who are attacked by the living corpses of past lives. It hints at how each life you have is somehow connected, and sins from one life can follow you into the next. .. only to completely destroy everything with one of the dumbest endings in videogame history.
Yeah, Castlevania LoS2 had such potential especially following on from the first Castlevania. It think about it and it still bugs me to this day wishing LoS2 was made better. The boss fights were the only good thing about the game and you couldn't just pick those parts to play like you could in LoS1, you had to play through the whole game to play them again and it just didn't feel worth is which is a shame. Overall it was just a major let down.
Great video, as always! Would love it if you linked the "part 1" of these videos at the beginning, while running through the games in the first list, to make it easier to jump back to watch it :) Or even just in the description.
I actually really liked FF15, I rarely play JRPGs because they're a bit slower than what I like, but something about riding the car around this pretty ass world that they made was really nice and calming
FF15 felt like it was meant to have a second open world map. I think they realised they didn't have enough time, so they put the second act of the game on literal rails instead of giving you a whole new area to explore. Data miners discovered that there actually was a big map for the second half, so it's probably true.
Omg this explains so much. I got this exact feeling when I was playing through the game and left Lucis & Accordo for Tenebrae & Niflheim. After Lucis & Accordo the whole game felt so rushed and like a completely different game. During the first half I kept expecting to explore the other continent. I hope we get to see the finalised version of FF15 one day with a complete story, all the character arcs rounded out (especially Lunafreya's, Aranea's and Regis') as well as the Kingdom of Tenebrae & Empire of Niflheim being traversable.
Fable 3 used to be a guilty pleasure game for me. I think it's a bad fable game, but it was an awesome landlord simulator. My biggest problem with it is that it only has 5 save slots, and if you're playing on the xbox one or series x, there's really no way to delete those files and start over. Which sucks, but there's nothing i can do about it.
I would love a remake off ff15. It had so much potential, I loved the four main characters and their friendship. And story wise it was good, but it wasn’t told in a good way. It has a good foundation to work on. But there is so much things that they could change to make ff15 an amazing game.
Yes please. FFXV is literally the only FF that actually needs a Remake. It has all the ingredients to be a masterpiece, they just need to piece it together.
Its because everyone is so buddy buddy and bland. Not many people stand out or be indifferent to Clive or anyone else really. And the second there is some disagreement it gets squashed instantly. Makes up for a great society, but boring story telling. Imagine if RDR2's Micah, John and everyone was a bunch of yes men with 0 issues with Arthur. That'd be a slog of a story.
FF16, in my opinion, is full of very high highs but a lot of very low lows. When the game gets to the point it's amazing but there's just way too much filler and inconsequential shit in between. I've really enjoyed it so far but I definitely understand why people are having issues with it.
Dragon Age 2 launched with a huge bug that let you repeatedly turn in quests for the same reward as many times as you want. It basically let you turn in the first missions reward until you had thousands of gold coins and max level right at the start. It was patched but you could go in on the ps3 and delete the patch and disconnect from the internet until you did this lol most memorable thing about the game honestly.
I think with Redfall, it feels like a secondary team from Arkane made it. It has the Sledgehammer Games "Call of Duty in theory" feel. The A team is (hopefully) working on an "actual" Arkane game
MGS5 is an amazing game if you don't care for the story. I didn't an thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. The variety of options, the adaptability, the user-friendliness made the game an absolute blast, but I skipped through all the cutscenes. My only gripe was the forced online integration that resulted in me losing my best fob staff because I kept getting raided after I stopped playing for a few months.
Playstation All Stars: Speaking as an animator who worked on the game, believe me you are preaching to the choir. Everyone at Superbot also wanted all those characters. Wanting them badly and being able to get them were too different things since they were owned by other studios, who often had their own agendas ('oh we don't want our IP in that kind of game', 'you can use her but you can only use the model from the latest less popular game', 'Sure you can have him! for $5 mil', etc). Crash not being there was especially irritating for us and we kept hoping we'd be able to get him for a reasonable price in free DLC at least but they never could work out a deal. He and Spyro were owned by Activision at the time....so...now...Microsoft?! Some of the design choices were made to differentiate the game from Smash Bros. We had hoped it'd sell well enough to iron out some of the flaws in a sequel...keep in mind it took Smash Bros awhile to get good. And anybody ever play Street Fight 1? Yeah right
You know I really liked redfall I mean sure the npc weren’t the most intelligent but it was pretty fun and the boss battles where also fun and I also liked how the story unfolded and that you learn the backstory of the villains
I liked ff15 it was a good game and it had a lot of things to do that wasn’t a chore and most importantly it had replay ability you always find new things to do even after finishing the game most of them are in dungeons but who doesn’t like dungeon levels
I think you are right on the money about Arkane. My problem with them doing that is that they tarnished their reputation with what is essentially a temper tantrum, and most importantly, screwed players over while doing it. I know a LOT of people that bought Redfall based on Arkane's reputation of quality, and they all feel like they got lied to and manipulated, and they are pissed about it. Dragon Age 2 definitely has its issues but it's still worth playing- it really sets up Inquisition perfectly. The combat is pretty fun and the story, while having its ups and downs, is still decent. The annoying characters are annoying, yes, but at least they gave them reasons to be that way. My biggest gripe with DA2 were the zones. Go into this dungeon? Cool...oh, it neat. Later- hey go into THIS dungeon! (It's the same dungeon with a few doorways opened that were closed last time). Yeahhh that was shite.
Not gonna my man Sweettooth some love Falcon, yo was in most the gameplay from PS Allstars, not a mention lol...... love your work..... keep kicking butt Gameranx
I remember running around in MGSV for a couple of hours trying to figure out what I needed to do in order to deploy the Battle Gear, only to find out you don’t. All that time, and visits, and buildup, to nothing! Still a great game, I still play it, but man that would have pushed it over the top.
Great Video! 👏👍 I remember playing FFXV back in the day but totally either completely missed or just forgot about the car transforming into a plane... 😅😮😆
I freaking loved FF15, was my first FF game and I thought it was outstanding, but finding out about all the cut content and all it could have been really disappointed me. I knew the game was much more ambitious originally and the world would have been sprawling. I really hope they return to it and make the complete version (Ik there’s royal edition but still not the final product) or maybe FFXV 2, thought the story had so much more to offer imo.
Honestly the Redfall thing is funny to me, if they truly went in with the mindset of "lets make them never ask us to do this again" That's actually funny. Making a game like that on purpose just to be like..don't ask us to do this again lmao. Also I loved Dante's inferno lol
The only time in my life I have ever taken a day off work for a game release was for MGS 5. I have never been more disappointed in a game release. MGS 1-4 were and are some of my favorite games. I loved the cinematic games they were. I tried MGS 5 again a few mo ths ago, fell off of it after the quiet fight.
I feel hogwarts legacy could be on a list like this. If isn’t bad, but they could have leaned into the rpg elements so much more and the game lacks consequences for using the unforgivable cursed
Infamous 2nd Son. Good game that was really fun but I think there was a lot of wasted potential. The powers were super satisfying but felt pretty limited if you think about what could have been done to expand them. Bigger and badder with more ways to play and interact with the world would have made that game really great, as well as more set pieces and better side quests c:
I finally downloaded and started playing Redfall, yeah you are spot on. Its been a slog thats for sure, its still buggy as hell and the always online requirement has caused its fair share of problems as well. It really sucks because I think it could have been a great game if it wasnt for all the live service BS.
I’ve been playing games since 1982 and I still play and I never liked Crash Bandicoot lol. I’m probably alone in this, but FF7 was my reason to PlayStation when it came out.
Metal gear phantom pain is one of my most played games in my library and i STILL find myself going back into it but as weird as it sounds it is the only metal gear solid game ive ever played 😅 i was told the previous entries dont have the same gameplay
The premise, time period, and lore of Order 1886 but damn the mechanics / jank made it tough, huge missed potential. Solid list as always Falcon, when can we get a dou vid with Jake? Cheers!
Starfield. There’s a lot I like about it, but it’s surprisingly small for how big it’s supposed to be. One of the best things about it like the ship building is also completely frustrating with the ladder and door placement. It also doesn’t have a way of viewing the interiors without finishing the design and paying for it, etc.
The last 2 Splinter Cells I found very enjoyable. I wasn’t attached to the previous entries and didn’t like the ones where if you were seen you failed. I liked that you could adapt when getting caught. They were fun games.
Final Fantasy 15 felt unfinished?! They ADMITTED it was unfinished! 😂 The 8 DLC Episodes was supposed to give us the complete game, but then SquareEnix said, nah. Now, Noctis is stuck in that time loop.
Man ,I don't know if I'm trippin but those vampires from redfall 1:49 gave me so much Delilah and witches from Dishonored 2 vibe literally those hands and animations, not saying it's bad
Yooka Laylee is mine, I was a kickstarter of the game, got the shirt to prove it and the one of the game's main flaws was it's level design, it was boring and just a bunch of terrian scatter-shotted on to a map. When you think of Banjo Kazooie levels, they all revolve around a center-piece which makes it memorable, a landmark to orient yourself and solidifies the map's theme, a giant arch with a lighthouse on top, a mechanical shark that you can go inside, a gargantuan snowman that you climb, Yooka-Laylee didn't have that, plus there's those gawd-awful minigames from Retro Rex, Kartos the god of Ore where he's existence is just a pun and to poorly emulate DK minecart sections.
We really need to get rid of EA. And for the most part, all this insane MTX and corporate overlord bs.
It’s sad but it isn’t going anywhere (mtx) so long as there is a player base. Even if it’s only 1000 players world wide. 😂😂
Ha! Good luck with that.
TakeTwo/Rockstar as well
You and me both. EA is cancer. The only way it could be redeemed is if they had a hard reset, or were somehow bought by a better company.
No they will stay - we love it!
Final Fantasy XV is my favorite game, and it will always break my heart that they didn't finish the DLC plan or make the seasonal events permanent.

100% Although you did put your finger on an important detail, it needs to be played on high difficulty. Otherwise it just doesn't seem to have any tension.

No game had a progressive "drying" system where you would dry off after swimming and leave smaller and smaller puddles of water behind you as you walked. Why didn't they fucking build off Chaos Theory, I will never, ever know.
As soon as I saw FF15 in the thumbnail I flew in ready to call you out. You hit all the points and still talked about it with a love that sounded more like sadness rather than anger. FF15 is amazing but it really could have been better.
I will defend Dragon Age 2 as my favorite of the series, but there is an outside factor. It came out a few weeks after my mother passed away. If there was a time in my life that I needed to get lost in a narrative and ignore the real world, it was then. So for all of its flaws, it succeeded in doing what I needed it to do, when I needed it to.
I feel ya there. DAO was the same for me: lost my dad, stepdad, and best friend in September 2014 and was just lost in grief and drugs. DAO was my escape from all that.
So I can respect that feeling
I'll defend it because it's a fantastic game. It has fun gameplay and the story is incredible. It got hate for not being Origins, but I loved what it was.
A Dante's inferno remaster would be so dope!
ffxv has some mechanics that really need to become mainstream in open world rpgs
like leveling up after you take rest rather than automatically leveling after defeating a monster like in other games
follower ai and their interactions
eating food gives you stat boosts instead of health
charecter model keeps getting filthy unless u rest in a hotel with bathroom
While I enjoyed the zipping around with the armiger, I am glad that 7 remake and 16 kept the core battle system, cause that's the most solid I've seen since KH2.
Like Xenoblade 3?
2nd and last points so fucking awful, no thanks. keep that shit out of my games.... having to constantly BATHE IN A VIDEO GAME??? fuck that. having to wait until you rest to level up like in fking dark souls in an open world RPG??? what the fuck is wrong with you that you'd think that's a good idea!?!?!?!?!?
Err, no?
I didn't know they got dirty
I remember renting, and beating Dante's Inferno way back in the day. Always thought it was just an awesome one-off that was a great alternative to God of War 1-3.
Splinter Cell: Conviction to me was my favorite Splinter Cell of all time. It had a great story and exciting fast paced stealth. Plus the interrogations right from the start were badass. I still play through it once a year or so.
Interesting, I found it too dumbed down compared to the earlier entries.
I loved Conviction too. I finished it all over one weekend and I still get back to it when I can.
I like it too its the jason Bourne of the splinter cell series.
I played double agent with my father and man what a wild ride. We booted up conviction and my dad heard all the cursing and was like, “Yep we are done”.
Conviction is a great game. It's not the same as the older SC or Blacklist, but its action stealth gameplay was still awesome.
On Fable 3: I invested in so much real estate; owned so many towns that the treasury never ran dry during rent. I even was able to lower the rent for all my tenants. I was a beloved king😂
Splinter Cell conviction was such a good game! One of my favourites from rhe 360 era.
👍🏼
Final Fantasy 15 was one of my favorite games! The setting and story was really good!
I am happy and always blown away by Gameranx on how they are able come up with ideas non stop on such a wide field of topics for the uploads, just love it. Thanks, I always am excited to view new video of yours ! ( Sorry for grammar, I am not native English )
Much more interesting then ign. Watch mojo doesn't seem to be that popular anymore . But gameranx videos are just interesting to chill and watch
It's crazy how Gameranx relies on high-volume list videos (like most lazy channels do), but Gameranx videos are actually GREAT
Splinter Cell Conviction is a great game imo. People just wanted another old school SC and since it wasnt that then people dismissed it instead of giving it the chance. The campaign was great and it had a phenomenal coop campaign too
Unpopular opinion: I love FFXV (it was my first FF so i might be a little biased).
Definitely biased. I enjoyed that game from start to end and continued playing. I didn’t even know it wasn’t fully done
I loved it too. Maybe it’s because I waited for the Windows edition and didn’t hear about people’s opinion on it before making my own.
I platd everything (even comrades). It was a good game. Good, not great. I have complaints but overall would still recommend
It is unfinished AF but i like the real time fighting it has.Turn base combat feels boring slow and so playstation 2
@@alexandroswashere3089 turn based has its audience. I wouldn't mind maybe not AAA game but decent turn based entry final fantasy sprinkled every couple of years
I absolutely love DA2. It's probably my fave game of all time. 26 completely playthroughs. I could ignore the rough bits because the good stuff was so good. Would've loved to see what the devs could've done if they didn't get hamstrung by a short dev cycle.
I also love ff15 so much. Though, I do think it was greatly improved after a lot of patches. Still, the characters were great and I loved the story a lot. Made me tear up at the end
Same, i liked DA2 more than 3
26? Holey guacamole
I remember buying that game new and only finishing I was young and could not afford to buy many games, such a massive dissapointment.
Like they didnt have time to make more than 1 map? c'mon man. Then add the absolutely shit gameplay to that.
If they had kept the gameplay and mechanics from the first game it would have been a much much better game..
@@Beeyo176 I really really liked it. lol
Liked DA2 as well
MGS5 was still one of the best stealth games ever. Even with how dirty they did the game and the Hideo.
The stealth gameplay was sick, but the story didn’t interest me at all. The absence of David Hayter’s voice turned me away as well.
FFXV was like the 8th game I played from the franchise (I started with FFVII back in the 90's) and I loved it, it made it not wanna go back to turn base combat ever again and FFVII Remake and FFXVI confirmed it to me. Also loved Dante's Inferno.
Dante's Inferno could be amazing if it got remade
It was amazing anyway
Man, hit the nail on the head about MGS 5. I really enjoyed that gameplay a lot and played it just over the 100 hour mark. I know what you mean by it feeling like something's missing. I will say the end result does kinda fit the theme of the story, in a way. I'm definitely glad I played it but I totally get where people are coming from when it comes to the story feeling unfinished.
I put like 150 into it and I enjoyed it… but I get what he saying
Yeah the game just petered out.
the thing is form what was said, 2 whole chapters were cut out. thats alot of content for a 3 chapter long game.
The story lacks the charm and mystery from the previous games and the absence of David Hayter is like a cake without icing.
I felt sad and pained when MGS5 was revealed as number one on this list. It could have been so much more at the end
Such a great game, but was not allowed to be finished
I felt pained as well. You could even say I felt phantom... pained...
@@ade977that game experience was complete.
Yes but the story counts too, crazy we waited decades for Kojima to get the only the always not perfect or accessible right in mgs which is the gameplay and then they took half of what we loved about mgs out which is like the 2 half hours cutscenes.
Final Fantasy XV is one of my top three games, however when I got it it was my first final fantasy and I didn't know about its history so when I started playing I didn't go in with any expectations so I really enjoyed it.
it was the same for me! my first final fantasy and i had such a blast, got platinum for it yesterday after around 120hours playing casually, and now im gonna 100% it on steam ☺️
For me FFXV is one of than saddest gameing story in my life. I had money rdy for my ps 3 (which in the end i didnt bought), waiting for legendary FF XIII versus. The final product had nothing from ogrinal trailer, other the main characters which was changed anyway. When i Look at 15 i get this sad feeling each time, that i could play masterpiece but now i never will.
@@OmnigmaTheMaster For me, I was looking at FF15 as the next hope for FF, I hadn't played a FF game since FF10.
Everything looked epic. The open landscapes with FF Monsters in them, and the original music video trailer.
But then it released and honestly looked like one of those badly designed MMOs.
Nothing felt epic about this game, and the story seemed nonsensical.
I could never get into it, and never bought it. I ended up waiting for 16 which was the right move, as 16 is a game I loved and completed 100%. I have full trust in CBU3 games now.
@@Bahamut998 FF X was peak of Old turn base FF which i miss so much.
My fav FF is 7 Crisis Core and then 1 PSP and FF X
Its story is probably the worst told in not just gaming but fiction in general. It even gets retconned in a novel!
For me it's Little Hope (from The Dark Pictures Anthology): a very interesting mystery about a group of people who are attacked by the living corpses of past lives. It hints at how each life you have is somehow connected, and sins from one life can follow you into the next.
.. only to completely destroy everything with one of the dumbest endings in videogame history.
The voice acting in Man Of Medan was so bad
The ending was disappointing as hell. It was comedy seeing the bus driver spout off nonsense to himself at the end.
@@brandonbrady2304The black dude in Man of Medan has a funny lisp. His voice doesn’t even match the character haha.
Ff15 still offered alot to love. But you can definitely feel the development hell it went through
Yeah, Castlevania LoS2 had such potential especially following on from the first Castlevania. It think about it and it still bugs me to this day wishing LoS2 was made better. The boss fights were the only good thing about the game and you couldn't just pick those parts to play like you could in LoS1, you had to play through the whole game to play them again and it just didn't feel worth is which is a shame. Overall it was just a major let down.
Great video, as always!
Would love it if you linked the "part 1" of these videos at the beginning, while running through the games in the first list, to make it easier to jump back to watch it :)
Or even just in the description.
I actually really liked FF15, I rarely play JRPGs because they're a bit slower than what I like, but something about riding the car around this pretty ass world that they made was really nice and calming
always love a top 10 video with game's name right on the timestamp, it does show they respect your time.
A nice touch yeah
Redfall could’ve been so amazing,
but I still had some fun with it
FF15 felt like it was meant to have a second open world map. I think they realised they didn't have enough time, so they put the second act of the game on literal rails instead of giving you a whole new area to explore.
Data miners discovered that there actually was a big map for the second half, so it's probably true.
Omg this explains so much. I got this exact feeling when I was playing through the game and left Lucis & Accordo for Tenebrae & Niflheim. After Lucis & Accordo the whole game felt so rushed and like a completely different game. During the first half I kept expecting to explore the other continent.
I hope we get to see the finalised version of FF15 one day with a complete story, all the character arcs rounded out (especially Lunafreya's, Aranea's and Regis') as well as the Kingdom of Tenebrae & Empire of Niflheim being traversable.
The fact that these games were semi good and had so much potential is what made the letdown so much more painful.
Fable 3 used to be a guilty pleasure game for me. I think it's a bad fable game, but it was an awesome landlord simulator. My biggest problem with it is that it only has 5 save slots, and if you're playing on the xbox one or series x, there's really no way to delete those files and start over. Which sucks, but there's nothing i can do about it.
is it just me or does anyone else want a final fantasy 15 remake?
I would love a remake off ff15. It had so much potential, I loved the four main characters and their friendship. And story wise it was good, but it wasn’t told in a good way. It has a good foundation to work on. But there is so much things that they could change to make ff15 an amazing game.
Yes please. FFXV is literally the only FF that actually needs a Remake. It has all the ingredients to be a masterpiece, they just need to piece it together.
Quantium break had so much potential, it introduced a whole different enemy or relm, and it just disappeared not to be expanded on
I really liked the friendship element in FF15. I'm having a hard time finishing 16 because it's boring me. There's something missing.
Agreed. FF16 gets stale real fast
Its because everyone is so buddy buddy and bland. Not many people stand out or be indifferent to Clive or anyone else really. And the second there is some disagreement it gets squashed instantly. Makes up for a great society, but boring story telling. Imagine if RDR2's Micah, John and everyone was a bunch of yes men with 0 issues with Arthur. That'd be a slog of a story.
I’ve played the demo of FF16 and I didn’t even finish that because it was so extremely boring.
I’m enjoying the story in 16 but I’ve never played a FF before beyond the very first one.
FF16, in my opinion, is full of very high highs but a lot of very low lows. When the game gets to the point it's amazing but there's just way too much filler and inconsequential shit in between. I've really enjoyed it so far but I definitely understand why people are having issues with it.
Dragon Age 2 launched with a huge bug that let you repeatedly turn in quests for the same reward as many times as you want. It basically let you turn in the first missions reward until you had thousands of gold coins and max level right at the start. It was patched but you could go in on the ps3 and delete the patch and disconnect from the internet until you did this lol most memorable thing about the game honestly.
Some of these choices were decent IMO loved Dante's inferno
I think with Redfall, it feels like a secondary team from Arkane made it. It has the Sledgehammer Games "Call of Duty in theory" feel. The A team is (hopefully) working on an "actual" Arkane game
FF15 was great IMO...road trip with the bros...also enjoyed Dante's Inferno...got plats in both of those games
MGS5 is an amazing game if you don't care for the story. I didn't an thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. The variety of options, the adaptability, the user-friendliness made the game an absolute blast, but I skipped through all the cutscenes. My only gripe was the forced online integration that resulted in me losing my best fob staff because I kept getting raided after I stopped playing for a few months.
Dantes Inferno was amazing. Loved that game and wish they would do a remaster
FF15 and The Order 1886 were two of the VERY few games i bothered finishing in thep past few years. i liked em
I'm glad they didn't let snake talk. It's not snake if it's not David.
Id vote jumpforce is a game with wasted potential
Playstation All Stars: Speaking as an animator who worked on the game, believe me you are preaching to the choir. Everyone at Superbot also wanted all those characters. Wanting them badly and being able to get them were too different things since they were owned by other studios, who often had their own agendas ('oh we don't want our IP in that kind of game', 'you can use her but you can only use the model from the latest less popular game', 'Sure you can have him! for $5 mil', etc). Crash not being there was especially irritating for us and we kept hoping we'd be able to get him for a reasonable price in free DLC at least but they never could work out a deal. He and Spyro were owned by Activision at the time....so...now...Microsoft?!
Some of the design choices were made to differentiate the game from Smash Bros. We had hoped it'd sell well enough to iron out some of the flaws in a sequel...keep in mind it took Smash Bros awhile to get good. And anybody ever play Street Fight 1? Yeah right
I love Dante's inferno but I agree . It could've been great
Can we take a second to appreciate Falcon's Keifer Sutherland impression?
Falcon should make a list about games that did live up 2 the hype. That will be a very short list.
You know I really liked redfall I mean sure the npc weren’t the most intelligent but it was pretty fun and the boss battles where also fun and I also liked how the story unfolded and that you learn the backstory of the villains
Yeah I've been having fun with it too
I liked ff15 it was a good game and it had a lot of things to do that wasn’t a chore and most importantly it had replay ability you always find new things to do even after finishing the game most of them are in dungeons but who doesn’t like dungeon levels
I think you are right on the money about Arkane. My problem with them doing that is that they tarnished their reputation with what is essentially a temper tantrum, and most importantly, screwed players over while doing it. I know a LOT of people that bought Redfall based on Arkane's reputation of quality, and they all feel like they got lied to and manipulated, and they are pissed about it.
Dragon Age 2 definitely has its issues but it's still worth playing- it really sets up Inquisition perfectly. The combat is pretty fun and the story, while having its ups and downs, is still decent. The annoying characters are annoying, yes, but at least they gave them reasons to be that way. My biggest gripe with DA2 were the zones. Go into this dungeon? Cool...oh, it neat. Later- hey go into THIS dungeon! (It's the same dungeon with a few doorways opened that were closed last time). Yeahhh that was shite.
Arkane made two good games, Dishonored 1 and Prey. The rest are just middling forgettable efforts.
@@quademasters249
Exactly, Arkane is one of the most overrated studios ever.
Biomutant so irrelevant now it didn’t even make the list
I was so hyped and it the definition of ok
Not gonna my man Sweettooth some love Falcon, yo was in most the gameplay from PS Allstars, not a mention lol...... love your work..... keep kicking butt Gameranx
I remember running around in MGSV for a couple of hours trying to figure out what I needed to do in order to deploy the Battle Gear, only to find out you don’t. All that time, and visits, and buildup, to nothing! Still a great game, I still play it, but man that would have pushed it over the top.
Great Video! 👏👍 I remember playing FFXV back in the day but totally either completely missed or just forgot about the car transforming into a plane... 😅😮😆
I freaking loved FF15, was my first FF game and I thought it was outstanding, but finding out about all the cut content and all it could have been really disappointed me. I knew the game was much more ambitious originally and the world would have been sprawling. I really hope they return to it and make the complete version (Ik there’s royal edition but still not the final product) or maybe FFXV 2, thought the story had so much more to offer imo.
Gameranx’s intro sound is now as pleasing and legendary as Mario collecting coins sound. Fight me
Those Arkane comments didnt age well
Honestly the Redfall thing is funny to me, if they truly went in with the mindset of "lets make them never ask us to do this again" That's actually funny. Making a game like that on purpose just to be like..don't ask us to do this again lmao. Also I loved Dante's inferno lol
The only time in my life I have ever taken a day off work for a game release was for MGS 5. I have never been more disappointed in a game release. MGS 1-4 were and are some of my favorite games. I loved the cinematic games they were. I tried MGS 5 again a few mo ths ago, fell off of it after the quiet fight.
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 was great. It has a huge roster list.
Bro redfall even hadn't any potential to waste
Just straight up garbage
Top 20 most badass lines in video games.
I feel hogwarts legacy could be on a list like this. If isn’t bad, but they could have leaned into the rpg elements so much more and the game lacks consequences for using the unforgivable cursed
Infamous 2nd Son. Good game that was really fun but I think there was a lot of wasted potential. The powers were super satisfying but felt pretty limited if you think about what could have been done to expand them. Bigger and badder with more ways to play and interact with the world would have made that game really great, as well as more set pieces and better side quests c:
Also better antagonists. The antagonists in the game were forgettable af.
I finally downloaded and started playing Redfall, yeah you are spot on. Its been a slog thats for sure, its still buggy as hell and the always online requirement has caused its fair share of problems as well. It really sucks because I think it could have been a great game if it wasnt for all the live service BS.
Good list! Def agree with the top pick. MGS5 could have been LEGENDARY!!!
Honestly it's kinda amazing how good Dragon Age II is, at least to the fandom, considering it had an almost non-existent development period.
Splite Cell conviction was a great couple of books though
I’ve been playing games since 1982 and I still play and I never liked Crash Bandicoot lol. I’m probably alone in this, but FF7 was my reason to PlayStation when it came out.
I agree with the Redfall theory. Theres just no way the devs from Prey made that chimney without contempt.
Man, I felt it with MGSV, I played that game so much...
Metal gear phantom pain is one of my most played games in my library and i STILL find myself going back into it but as weird as it sounds it is the only metal gear solid game ive ever played 😅 i was told the previous entries dont have the same gameplay
4:39 couldn’t have said it better myself.. this is the best party AI I’ve ever played with!
I love Dante’s and don’t deserve put in this list. We need Dante’s inferno 2!
19:58 That's the best Kiefer Sutherland impression I have ever heard.
The premise, time period, and lore of Order 1886 but damn the mechanics / jank made it tough, huge missed potential. Solid list as always Falcon, when can we get a dou vid with Jake? Cheers!
Starfield. There’s a lot I like about it, but it’s surprisingly small for how big it’s supposed to be. One of the best things about it like the ship building is also completely frustrating with the ladder and door placement. It also doesn’t have a way of viewing the interiors without finishing the design and paying for it, etc.
The last 2 Splinter Cells I found very enjoyable. I wasn’t attached to the previous entries and didn’t like the ones where if you were seen you failed. I liked that you could adapt when getting caught. They were fun games.
Dantes inferno lust boss was basically "I just read gantz"
19:57 fkn nailed the Keifer Sutherland impression.
Final Fantasy 15 felt unfinished?! They ADMITTED it was unfinished! 😂 The 8 DLC Episodes was supposed to give us the complete game, but then SquareEnix said, nah. Now, Noctis is stuck in that time loop.
This upload was entertaining so looking forward to 3.
Atlas Fallen BYB incoming?
That Keifer Sutherland impression was spot on!
Man ,I don't know if I'm trippin but those vampires from redfall 1:49 gave me so much Delilah and witches from Dishonored 2 vibe literally those hands and animations, not saying it's bad
As soon as I hear his voice and the "hi folks, it's Falcon" instant like.
your impression of Snake's voices are awesome, lol!
FFXV may not be the greatest but I still sure as hell enjoyed it
Good to hear you sounding better, Falcon! Have you been sick?
Yooka Laylee is mine, I was a kickstarter of the game, got the shirt to prove it and the one of the game's main flaws was it's level design, it was boring and just a bunch of terrian scatter-shotted on to a map.
When you think of Banjo Kazooie levels, they all revolve around a center-piece which makes it memorable, a landmark to orient yourself and solidifies the map's theme, a giant arch with a lighthouse on top, a mechanical shark that you can go inside, a gargantuan snowman that you climb, Yooka-Laylee didn't have that, plus there's those gawd-awful minigames from Retro Rex, Kartos the god of Ore where he's existence is just a pun and to poorly emulate DK minecart sections.
