10 Biggest Gaming Disappointments of The Last 10 YEARS

Not putting Anthem on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd spot on the disappointing list is almost criminal.

[@RubenBuenfil-u8y]

One might say, it's disappointing

[@RevenantMain1]

This was the biggest flop in my gaming history I had so so much hype for the game when I’d heard about it a week before release Sure enough, wiff

[@themanstan0785]

You don’t know how badly I wish that IP would continue and have a reboot. The gameplay is phenomenal! An iron man suit type game is my dream. Man disappointed is an understatement

[@sheltongolden4394]

I figure it came down to putting either Anthem or Andromeda on the list. They chose Andromeda. I agree that Anthem should've been the Bioware entry instead.

[@devtrivedi4766]

I'd argue Battlefield 2042 deserves to be on the list. They promised catering to OG fans and bringing back authentic battlefield experience, but ended disappointing everyone. shitty maps, half baked portal system and not to mention broken during launch. As a battlefield fan since bad company 2, I've never been more disappointed. BF4 had a horrible laugh but the core game was great which it eventually showed. BF2042 feels heartless.

[@PumkinLord28]

[@PrasathMGM]

You are right. The hype for this game after the trailer drops was out of roof. But it turns out to be the greatest disappointment ever created.

[@BAMFshee]

Skull and Bones is *easily* my #1. Ubisoft turned what looked to be a surefire hit when it was announced into a decade-late dumpster fire. It boggles the mind just how badly they threw away such a golden opportunity.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

I mean we got what, one trailer from like 7 years ago and that’s it? Idk why any got so hyped for a game that essentially disappeared after its E3 reveal. People need to stop hyping things in their heads and instead learn to look at the evidence before they blindly throw away money

[@Deeplycloseted435]

100%……had zero expectation that it would be good. WHO did?

[@BlakeAustin2011]

I would counter that by saying a lot of people bought into the hype of Rocksteady doing another Arkham-verse game while also the devs pushing this as on par with those games. It would have been fine as a game-as-a-service model if the game had the story and playability at the level of the previous Batman games.

[@webhead4414]

It was more that it was Rocksteady, and all the teases and clues over the years pointed towards a superman game. Then...7-8 years after their last game, we got Suicide Squad 🙃

[@witsendSOS]

😂🎯🤣 the first film was,, meh.. 😅 I automatically knew the game would be worse 😅😂🤣

[@BAMFshee]

I think there was some hype when it was first announced, long before we learned that it would be a live-service game and a third-person looter shooter. Sure, practically no one thought it would be good once we learned what it really was, but at the very beginning I think I remember some excitement for it.

[@G.O.A.T555]

[@BlakeAustin2011]

Question: where was Forespoken? Major publisher in SquareEnix, big online marketing push, big KZbin gamer push from the Final Fantasy community as folks originally thought this was the FF14 name for what became Endwalker, and a much edgier and brash main character dropping F-bombs in the trailer with open world exploration and magic and tie-ins with modern day settings… Only to deliver the worst written main character who made you hate her more as the game progressed, with an open world that was immensely empty, and a story that sounded like it came from a modern-day Disney writer… And let’s not forget about Anthem, the game who’s letdown launched multiple channels to new heights of fandom.

[@salchipapa5843]

They even show clips of Forspoken in this video, lol.

[@Skateandcreate9]

Forespoken wasn’t highly anticipated so what was there to be disappointed by? 😂

[@TK_1340]

It's a Sweet Baby game. So.. No criticism from game journalists. 🤪

[@konaDRAW]

I think they were trying to avoid pulling too many games from the same year. They already pulled a few titles from 2022, the absolute worst offenders, so they probably skipped it (for now, unless they decide to make a second list)

[@FuriousMaximum]

Forspoken couldn't possibly dissapoint. Nobody expected it to be anything other than boring, empty trash, with a garbage main character ...which it was.

[@54321conor]

I'm surprised not to see Fallout 76 here, As a massive fan of those games and Bethesda in general I was super disappointed about that.

[@metalhos]

yep. not just that the game was in bad shape when it was released - the additional grifts from Bethesda made it even more worse.

[@MrSloan04]

+1 or even fo4 or starfield. bethesda is rly dropping the ball for many reasons and deserve the award of being on this list instead of "most innovative gameplay"

[@drgonzo123]

[@georgejones5019]

Yeah. FO76 and Starfield both, I'm not buying another Bethesda game ever again.

[@corey2232]

Even though it's really fun now, I agree. When it launched, it was a complete joke.

[@JWAVer]

If you're going to put a BioWare game on this list then replace Andromeda with Anthem. Not saying Andromeda shouldn't be here, but Anthem certainly deserves it more than Andromeda

[@arminxvs3372]

It is a worse game but I think Andromeda gets the spot because of the name. The Mass Effect Hype was insane. Thus, the disappointment was higher even tho Anthem screwed up more from a gameplay-POV.

[@keithworthing7038]

I love ME. I mayhe got through 3 hours of Andromeda. It sucked bad. And I'm not a purist about this stuff either, but it was a bad game that us fans had been waiting years to play.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Nah Andromeda set the stage. Anyone dumb enough to still preorder EA/BioWare collab games after that should instead be disappointed with themselves. It’s like that slow kid who touches a hot stove then for some reason touches it again

[@michealbounds550]

People seem to forget that Andromeda was made by Bioware Montreal not their Edmonton studio where the original trilogy was made.

The really crazy thing about PT is that graphically it still holds up and in many respects looks better than some current action adventure games. It's so disappointing that Konami decided not to back the development of Silent Hills or at least sell the rights off to some other big studio because it had massive potential to be yet another era defining game from Kojima.

Speak up with your wallet. Stop preordering games. Wait for reviews from trusted sources. Wait for sales. Otherwise, things won't change. Look at COD and Madden. Same games every year, but people always buy them expecting a different experience than the last 400 games in the series.

They might share some workforce in asset creation and art direction but in terms of game direction and lead as a whole they're entirely different studios.

I'm a huge Dragon Age fan. I'm also one of those who came to the Mass Effect series late, and basically played them in reverse, starting with Andromeda. I honestly loved Andromeda. It was my introduction to the ME series, so I wasn't weighed down by nostalgia over the original trilogy, and I had a lot of fun and even replayed it a couple times. Sci fi isn't normally my thing at all, but I thought of it as DA:Inquisition with blasters and robots and aliens, and it was a solid 8 out of 10 for me. I played the original (remastered) trilogy for the first time recently, and I was kind of underwhelmed based on the gushing reverence for it I see constantly. They were really good games, and I'm glad I experienced them, but I was expecting a transcendent experience way better than the hated Andromeda, and I'm still waiting. I suspect Mass Effect was pure heaven to starved sci fi RPG fans in the late aughts, and today nostalgia is skewing things as it tends to, and a decent follow up game gets shit on unfairly.

[@sjsharp2007]

Yeah I liked Andromeda and I liked th efact it was trying t ogo for a lighter tone after th etrilogy. I mean sure th etrilog ywas great in it's own way too that's why I still play it.

And it's odd when you think about it: The previous games' story was top notch, but the gameplay was not that great (ME 3 being the exception). Andromeda's story is certainly the weakest, but has the best gameplay in the series. And driving the Nomad is miles better than the paperweight known as the Mako and the tissue paper-armored Hammerhead.

[@Lsm865]

“Disappointing games from the last 10 years” pretty much shows games from the last 2-4 years

[@UnionJackGaming1994]

No Anthem, no Battlefield 2042, no Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, no Fallout 76, but MvCI and Callisto Protocol?? Mark my words, Callisto Protocol will become a cult classic as time goes on.

[@arrekushun]

Personally wouldn't say SS was disappointing simply cuz never had any expectations even when it was first announced

[@WaterxDragon35]

imo Mass Effect Andromeda is a better game than Starfield.

[@StarkEpiphany]

Low bar.

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

Damn 🤔..... damn you might be right on this 😂

[@ransom--]

They didn't put Starfield or Fallout 76 on the list... for some reason. I'd rather play a few of these games than Starfield. And Fallout 76 was flat out just unplayable and broken at launch... along with all of the not in game scandal that came along with it. Even now that it is fixed, it is still trash.

[@Safetytrousers]

@@ransom-- I played 76 at launch on PC and it was not broken, and I did everything that was on the map.

[@irvancrocs1753]

Some bigger disappointment than few games in the list: Overwatch 2 (Mainly the promised PVE contents), Diablo 4, Battlefield 2042 (All the hypes from the trailers that being killed in launch), No Man's Sky early release, Fallout 76, Starfield's emptiness, and Crackdown 3 (After long years of waiting)..

[@JeffZabala]

I think you forgot the announcement of Diablo Immortal.

[@PsychoRavager]

A lot of people will disagree with me on this, but, to me, as a long-time Remedy fan (from the first Max Payne up to Control), Alan Wake II quite frankly disappointed me a lot with all the stuff I looked into as research before deciding to grab a copy (gameplay, story, and so on) that I decided not to purchase and support it. And, before anyone says so, yes, I like that style of action-survival horror, and I was anticipating it at first... until I eventually decided to watch full walkthroughs and was just plainly saddened by the gameplay loop and how a crap ton of its runtime dragged on and on. And that's not even talking about how Alan himself was treated in his own game. He gets the less interesting enemy types to fight against, and he barely gets any weapons to use. The only positive thing I can say about Alan's side of the campaign would be him getting the more intriguing, mind-bending set pieces. That's it. And I'm not a fan of Saga Anderson as a character at all. Not even mentioning the involvement of SBI here with my personal feedback in terms of Saga's character writing and personality. Oh, and I know lots loved it, but I did not like at all how that musical segment was done. And I grew up loving a lot of musicals as a kid. The integration here was just not it for me. It's really a combination of things I know are subjective to my preferences and expectations along with what I believe to be objective issues with the game's overall structure, pacing, writing, and gameplay mechanics.

[@greedtheron8362]

It's very crowded list of just the last two years. I would like a list that's something like the most disappointing thing in gaming of each year of the last two years.

[@insrtcowjoke]

You touched on P.T., but glossed over MGSV and the fact that the game was released without an actual ending. For such a strong series to just come to an end like that, without even a real ending... I mean that's a massive disappointment.

[@Ezdine_G8261]

to be fair, the game was genuinely well recieved as fuck and honestly the fact that they practically enslaved kojima and then kicked him out right before he could finish and STILL people loved the game says quite a bit.

[@lukemwill99]

You forgot Starfield.

[@kylyshane]

No one waits for Starfield we know it would be bad cuz it's Bethesda bro

[@LaSkankwa]

Definitely gotta mention Anthem

[@dovakiin4257]

The Overwatch CEO saying gamers should be able to tip developers for doing their job is the most disgusting thing the past 10 years

[@Tikku4ever]

So many honorable mentions too. Starfield, Fallout 76, Anthem.

[@reynn333]

Anthem and No Mans Sky would be 2 as well. Both were terrible at launch but had a lot of potential, I'm happy No Mans Sky managed a come back but will forever be disappointed with EA and Bioware for Anthem

[@NegativeROG]

Are you high?

[@cookop1]

arkham knight on the pc ran like it had a stone in its shoe

[@NevaBeast]

Crackdown 3 and the Battlefront Classic Remasters are high up on my list for disappointing

[@k29king1]

Calisto was not a disappointment, it IS a very good game. Unpopular opinion here, its a masterpiece.

[@kreatorkunal6952]

True

[@bajo3582]

I loved Callisto protocol. Ended up getting the platinum for it. Great game

[@Hope4NewDay1]

This is a more definitive and concrete list that most would agree with: Top 5 (Any order): Anthem, Battlefield 2042, Marvel's Avengers, Skull & Bones (First Quad A game), Overwatch 2 6. Saints Row 3 7: The Day Before 8. Babylon's Fall 9. The Day Before 10. Mass Effect: A Honorable Mention Cyberpunk: Pre-Phantom Liberty No Man's Sky Fallout 76 Starfield NBA/Madden/FIFA Mighty Number 9

[@Frank_Torre]

Honestly Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and New Tales from the Borderlands deserve a spot on this list. Wonderlands had NO real endgame and a repetitive grind of Chaos levels. While New Tales could never live up to the 1st Tales from the Borderlands.

[@ModestPavement]

Hm, I loved Tiny Tina. I personally thought it was miles better than BL3. I do remember it being pretty short though.

[@Frank_Torre]

@@ModestPavement BL3 is way better than Wonderlands. Only thing wrong with BL3 is the story having 2 crappy villains and a blotted Eden 6 run. While Wonderlands only has gameplay and a decent story, but nothing to do but grind as a endgame. Honestly with BL3 I don't think Gearbox could of come up with a better bad guy than Jack. So they went cringey streamer to annoy the players.

[@ModestPavement]

@@Frank_Torre well I think the franchise needed a refresh with new environments and I enjoyed the DnD aspect to it. The DLC was trash though and a rip-off.

[@Frank_Torre]

@@ModestPavement I know. Wonderlands hit on the gameplay, story and Will Arnett as the Dragon Lord. Yet they gave us endless Chaos chambers and meh dlc Mirrors. Which mirror bosses at their most powerful weren't close to raid bosses. If only they put a DnD twist on current BL2/BL3 raid bosses in Wonderlands.

[@ralphreiro7]

Man I just posted about this. It had so much potential. I remember finishing it and sitting in front of the TV thinking: well this was a short ride, but the DLCs could be wild... I couldn't be more wrong and disappointed in my life.

[@jdkgcp]

No Mans Sky? Fallout 76? I mean seriously.

[@PowderedVoltage]

Maybe because both of those games has since redeemed themselves. If that's the reason they were omitted, then Cyberpunk shouldn't be on this list either.

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

Yea I'm really surprised fallout 76 didn't make the list. I mean the Ls for Bethesda surpassed just the game and that horrible launch. The "canvas" *nylon* bag, the subsequent in-game currency offerings as a "sorry" for the botched canvas bag mess (where you couldn't even buy the in-game MTX canvas bag with the "sorry" money they gave those players), the Nuka Dark rum disaster..... I mean they streamlined nothing but disappointment with everything surrounding Fallout 76 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jdkgcp]

@@TheForbidden_1ne It's almost like they put very little thought and effort into making this video because Fallout 76 and No Mans Sky are blatantly obvious examples that were much worse than most of the games mentioned in the video.

[@RAGE-69]

so many love from india.. i watched your all videos

[@1003JustinLaw]

Capcom employees, including ex-employees, aren’t even allowed to acknowledge PT’s existence. I worked as a cameraman for an independent gaming journalist for a while and she managed to snag an interview with a programmer who used to work for Capcom and when asked about PT the guy was like “I don’t know what kind of fever dream nonsense gobbly-goop you’re talking about, I’ve never heard that, it never existed.”

[@calumlittle9828]

Nice work Sweet Baby Inc. You're killing it.

[@Jordi47]

Putting cyberpunk 2077 on this list is CRIMINAL

[@chriswilliams8159]

Cyberpunk 2077 now isn't just a solid game, but one of the most immersive open world experiences ever.

[@HasturLaVishnu]

the DLC really made Cyberpunk feel like it should have been from the start

[@bradenhale2774]

most immersive open world ive ever played

[@perfidious333]

Sure, if you don’t play much…

[@Ezdine_G8261]

eeeeeeh right it's immersive with some story aspects, the gameplay though is really weird and boring. it's an interesting setting and everything but i honestly got sick of it pretty quickly too.

[@bradfordsnyder6444]

Hot take: my biggest disappointment was RDR2. Not the game, it was phenomenal! The lack of post launch support and total absence of DLC is a travesty. That game was so good I never wanted it to end.

[@nadiaslijter1255]

Agreed. Such a shame it doesn't get the love it deserves. Instead Rockstar is milking out the online. I suppose they are putting all their money on GTA6.

[@benparton1849]

One of the biggest missed opportunities in gaming for me. So sad they shat all over the online and added nothing for the masterpiece that is the single player

[@Ezdine_G8261]

that's a rockstar thing

[@kidm0bius190]

forgot AC:Unity

[@fontheking5]

Dirt 5 and Project Cars 3 are 2 games that should be on this list 2, both stepped away from the roots, both were big disappointments, and both were ruined by EA sadly.

[@sakshamsaxena3026]

It’s sad to see that most of the disappointments from the last decade are actually very very recent. It says a lot about the gaming industry right now.

[@mattseman5682]

The Order 1886 needs to be on here. A launch title for the PS4, set in a sort of steampunk Victorian age close to our own world, and your hunting werewolves. It looked wonderful. And then we were given what amounted to an interactive cutscene.

[@StarkEpiphany]

I really enjoyed what was there. And I really hoped it might be a set up for a much more expanded sequel. But I doubt that'll ever happen.

[@mightymouse9001]

Oh shit beginning background music hard AF 🔥

[@tylervillhauer7417]

The frame rate for Scarlet/Violet was unacceptable considering it's the best-selling entertainment franchise of all time.

[@ThaCyNiQ]

Missing Pokémon, Starfield, and Cyberpunk. Biggest disappointments in gaming history.

[@gabrielpezzinigazzaneo3342]

Gollum was not a disappointment, because it never even reached the “appointment” status

[@againstalltyrants9001]

Andromeda is a legitimately good game and has been since like 6 weeks after launch. If you are going to put a Bioware game on, Anthem is much worse in my opinion. Go play Andromeda again, its way better than you remember, if you ever even tried it after they patched the whole (admittedly terrible) bricking consoles thing.

[@hanjitomoe-kiryuin2593]

Kinda agree? Andromeda is an awful mass effect game, but a fine enough sci-fi shooter. (Still not my cup of tea, but even I can admit it’s not awful or bad. Just kinda middling haha)

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

It's not that it's a bad game per se, it's just a monumental disappointment in terms of storytelling, dialogue, choice, and characters..... all things that players came to love about the ME franchise. Just like the above comment said, it's a good Sci fi game but a very disappointing entry to the Mass Effect franchise

[@-AytaL-]

so good game that no extra content was added to the game ? 🤔 🤣

[@lunarcryptid]

I actually really enjoyed the Saint's Row reboot, but I know most people didn't. I thought it had a lot of really fun moments, like playing the LARPing missions where you're running around going 'pew pew!' in this cardboard armor... I thought it was great

[@Patrickgoat]

My gf and I are fighting and I was waiting for the first video by gameranx to cheer me up. But two of them? Just what I needed All I can say is thank you guys and love your videos.❤️

[@queenpurple8433]

The true number one is stellar blade getting censored

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

After looking through the comments sections I think yall definitely gotta add a part 2 to this topic 😂😂😂
