[@DingusKhan3434]

brutal legend is probably the most underrated game I've ever played

[@denomiccreamer9980]

Agreed

[@TheBunnyb0y]

+Timmo yep, alot of games on this list really deserved more ..

[@trobriandstorm]

+Timmo it is, loved that game

[@dustincthornton]

+Timmo Totally. Gameplay is good, story is funny, and that freakin soundtrack!

[@wadewilson8113]

+Denomic creamer that was a fucking awesome game \M/

[@tchitchouan]

tim schafer is the master of good games that flop

[@JayDee284]

+Tchitchouan Inouane & a making a down right Ass of himself

[@tchitchouan]

JayDee284 lol so true

[@JayDee284]

Tchitchouan Inouane Well history is filled with artist whose art was better then they where did u know John Lennon was a wife beater :P

[@tchitchouan]

JayDee284 yup the world is filled with underappreciated artists and really ?? john used to beat his wife

[@JayDee284]

Tchitchouan Inouane Yeah I was shocked when I found too but it had more to with his Drug problems but still

[@AdanRayner]

What about Destiny?

[@GamingBolt]

+Adan Rayner It did not bombed. It was a major success.

[@chrisolson2846]

+GamingBolt If 325million out of 500million is a success...also they changed the leveling system cause it was a glaring fail. Destiny belongs on this list. Maybe you don't belong on KZbin.

[@acetrainerjax3312]

+Cali Nuts maybe you don't either the game was a major success in first launch sales and pre-orders if this was a list about the most amount of money to fix a game maybe it would be here

[@thatguy5391]

just because someone dosent add a game thats bad dosent mean they shouldent be on youtune

[@aceacer2231]

+GamingBolt A major success you said? Just in term of sells yes we can say that was a success but when a game cost half a billion dollars gamers expect the game to have some contents at launch. Instead the dev decided to split the game into pieces they called DLCs, changed the base story completely, cut crutial content and it took them a lot of money and efforts to make it an acceptable game. Yes graphically it a really beautyful game but it was an empty shell at launch and that's why it should had been on the list. Even today as we speek Destiny still hasn't made any profit. No wonder the dev are counting on the microtransactions to cover their losses. Destiny is a respectable game now but at launch it was a mess and as i said earlier it was an empty shell. What is not acceptable however is the dev charging extra money for the DLCs while that content was supposed to be in the original release. They decided at the last minute to split the game and remove content.

[@jackmarsh5944]

2:00 I loved Brutal legend best $5 I ever spent on a pre-owned game.

[@jakey3906]

Indeed

[@sludgefactory241]

I agree also. Psychonauts is an incredible game was well. Pretty much anything Tim gets involved with is probably going to be good and a failure

[@timbronco1]

I don't know how brutal legend flopped it was one of the best games in recent memory and had a great soundtrack.

[@Kos4Evr]

+Jack Marsh I loved Brutal Legend. The story could have been more fleshed out, the controls could have been more responsive and the stage battles could have flowed better but the story suitably epic, the setting was awesome and the soundtrack is the best in the history of gaming. For other games with awesome soundtracks and metal inspired themes check out the Guilty Gear games.

[@noisetank15]

+Jack Marsh Excellent game, but the RTS portion left something to be desired. Almost all of the later battles came down to upgrading troops, build large army, then swarm the other stage.

[@Flabulo]

Fucking Brutal Legend wasn't anything like a Guitar Hero game, save for some metal music. Also, its Id Software not "I.D." I swear you didn't even play half of these.

[@OJ9992]

I remember wasting £40 on Defiance, it was like the shit version of destiny, if that's even possible

[@EthanSellevold]

I'd rather play defiance than destiny. Destiny was awful in my experience. And saying that Defiance is better than something is not very easy for me to say.

[@mahdiadib9295]

i dont know whats all the hate of destiny did u people even play it its a realy good game to my experience on the ps4

[@goreMagala]

+Mahdi Adib Destiny was a fuck up really... The DLC is horrible and if you don't cough up the money to pay for them there's nothing to do at all...

[@BlackKatDemon]

Wasn't Defiance offered up for free on Xbox Live Gold?

[@x1skaterboy3x]

+BlackKatDemon its 2$ fr a disc or ftp digital now

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

Personally I loved Brütal Legend. Great sense of humor, good voice acting by Jack Black, guest appearances from Ozzy Osbourne and a great heavy metal soundtrack. I highly recommend it to anyone who's into...video games.

[@ainsliehunter9291]

...and heavy metal!

[@LazyMusroom]

+Jimmy Darmody I would not recommend it to any one looking for fun.

[@idiocyincorporated7635]

i would recommend it too it was awesome

[@FadirDungeon]

I really like Brutal Legend, too bad it wasn't a hit because I really think that it deserved it :/

[@idiocyincorporated7635]

same

[@deadaccount4876]

I will forever yearn for a sequel lol

[@ProbablyCole]

Í FUCKING love it so much

[@sentaukrai]

Its a cult classic that deserves a fucking sequel.

[@subtoskullswornofkhorne6131]

Loved playing the Tainted Coil in multiplayer and the game turned me on to other awesome bands

[@Bowtothecheif]

Poor Tim Schafer. Master of cult classics

[@thecursed01]

+Kolburta and of shitty savegame mechanics.

[@masonkane5884]

Shenmue didn't bomb. It WAS THE BOMB.

[@NinteSegaRarew]

Wow, the most expensive great games such as Shenmue, Brutal Legend, and Psychonauts, I cannot believe that they have bombed just because they didn't sold very well! I wish games like Shenmue, Brutal Legend, Psychonauts, Okami, MadWorld, and Beyond Good & Evil to name a few sold very well, that way they could have gotten sequels.

[@NinteSegaRarew]

***** Oh yeah I noticed! Plus, I know that Shenmue is getting the third one and Beyond Good & Evil is getting the sequel.

[@LeDubKitty]

+MVA Agent This makes me happy

[@pengomode7442]

Psychonauts 2 confirmed boiiiii

[@NinteSegaRarew]

yahir Lopez Yup, I do noticed! :)

[@LadyBern]

+SuperSonicKazooie Anarchy Reigns is sorta tied to MadWorld in an odd way but it isn't a sequel but sort of the same world. Okami got Okamiden. And as you know Beyond Good & Evil have a sequel and will be Nintendo exclusive. And Psychonauts has a sequel in production as much as I don't care for Tim and didn't fund it I'm hoping that he doesn't screw this up because a lot of people are backing it and trust him to do right by it. Just about everything listed has a second part to it in some way with the exception of Brutal Legend.

[@battleaxebob45]

I cant believe you called brutal legend a RTS mixed with guitar hero. WTF? no it was just a good old hack and slash action game.

[@Aaronlcyrus]

+skyler brown It had some RTS moments when you had the big concert battles. But I'd say overall it was more open world RPG

[@Toniocolla]

Brutal Legend was an amazing game. I'm still hoping for the day a sequel comes. If psychonauts is getting one, anything's possible.

[@BFKAnthony817]

+Kahlil Collazo No, if Shenmue 3 is being made then anything is possible! That game is the epitome of an expensive doomed series coming back from the dead that didn't sell well. Honestly it was no fault of it's own, Dreamcast was doing poorly, so people needed to buy at least 2 copies for them to break even. Hell, even with Shenmue 2 going directly to Xbox with nobody having played the first one they didn't have a connection to the series enough for it to be successful on that system.

[@MrLoerch]

Brütal Legend was amazing! I completed it 3 times because it was so different from other games and a lot of fun.

+Hermann Schmitt at least its funnier then overlord

[@SonLaw34]

Yup, the amount of times I played it I cant remember however I sometimes jump back on for the AI stage fights :D

[@WhatTheFnu]

I can DEFINITELY believe Daikatana bombed.

[@Shirai_Ryu92]

Psychonauts really? That game was brilliant.

[@dominicevery9891]

i won't lie brutal legend was defiantly one of the best games i played when it came out i bought it at least 3 times and would defiantly love a sequel on next gen

[@knxckz7578]

Darksiders is sooo damn underrated

[@awesomeassasinkid]

Didn't Destiny bomb or something? I knew it was bad, but expensive to make?

[@tchitchouan]

Destiny's budget is 500 million dollars but over time it made over 2 billion dollars so it didn't flop but on the contrary it was very successful

[@awesomeassasinkid]

Tchitchouan Inouane I kind of wished it floped. So many were disappointed

[@tchitchouan]

Simon The Digger me too man the game sucks

[@pombamz1]

+Simon The Digger many were angry/disappointed but a lot of people love that game so its not like that game was a total mess

[@lJunglel]

+Simon The Digger no, they sold millions of copies on Bungie's name alone

[@kierankeattch3727]

Brutal legends and darksiders 2 are good games

[@AkiraPoland]

brutal legend Great gamę.

[@ggpl8117]

polak autokorekta

[@AkiraPoland]

well i was typing from phone, so yeah...

[@ggpl8117]

znam ten ból wyłącz sobie w ustawieniach

[@devonasher7857]

brutal legend was a great game idk why it bombed so bad a hidden gem really

[@IllRockYourSox1]

Just didn't look good.

[@airbomb34]

No Warhammer Online? This list is weak.

[@RossenX]

"I.D" software xD it's called Id. Id: the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest.

[@snoMedia]

I kind of enjoyed the original APB and the customisation in it. It's kinda sad to see it turn into a p2w money laundry...

[@jeremyj.5687]

I really don´t know how Tim Scchafer´s game could flop. They were fantastic back in the day, and they hold up so incredibly well even today.

[@TTV.MoraiZuko]

I played , loved and have platinum on Darksiders II. The game was so good. Too bad they had hit bankruptcy and sell their company.

[@warlockguy42]

+Abyss Conquerer Good news, Nordic owns them and there is potential for a sequel.

[@TTV.MoraiZuko]

+warlockguy42 yep. There's that and they made a remaster for next gen to probably fund them for a sequel

[@Dragunslayer83]

+warlockguy42 Yeah, it's been a few years but from what I remember reading, they were in the hunt for a developer for Darksiders 3.

[@warlockguy42]

Dragunslayer83 I thought they got devs from the old team.

[@Dragunslayer83]

warlockguy42 From what I know, they were approaching the old devs about it, but they also had other dev teams approaching them about doing it as well.

[@seethisth4753]

So much Tim Shafer here. I'ts funny how his name is well-known in the industry, his games are considered masterpieces, and yet, flop after flop.

[@TheJoaovicente]

brutal legend was great.its not everyday that US metalheads get some attention in gaming

[@dinkalus]

+João Vicente i swear if they dont ever revive it i will be an angry old man

[@DSTheFinalLight]

Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, and Brutal Legend especially were and still are better/good games regardless of their sales.

[@yosz9746]

In my opinion Brutal Legend was an awesome game I had fun exploring and playing trough it and it wasn't that easy of a platinum trophy to get either

[@AfterlifeGames]

Do you hire people who don't play games to narrate your videos?!

[@DragmaKerp]

Brütal Legend is a great game, but missadverised. Ialways thought that it was a hack and slash, but is a rts...

[@ainsliehunter9291]

I loved Brutal Legend. It was such a unique video game. BUT IM S T I L L FUCKING STUCK ON THE BOSS BATTLE WITH OPHELIA LIKE THATS THE WORST. THE WORST. THE W O R S T

[@noisetank15]

+Ainslie Hunter The key is to defeat the enemies attacking your stage, build a strong army that you hold at the bridge, and then build the ultimate troop (I believe it is called rock smasher). You can hop aboard it decimate the enemy forces on the bridge. Then, you need to use the rock smasher's special to destroy the two towers preventing the path going forward. It's a slow, painful battle, but easy once you figure this out.

[@ainsliehunter9291]

+noisetank15 I COULD DO ALL OF IT EXCEPT AFTER I DESTROYED THE BRIDGE. AFTERWARDS IT WENT DOWNHILL AND IT WAS SO STRESSFUL (I'm not yelling at I'm yelling at game)

[@noisetank15]

+Ainslie Hunter I recall it taking a few tries for me. The battle was anticlimatic, but HOLD all your troops (except rock smasher) on your side of the bridge. Keep using the special to clear the troops until they are gone or the rock smasher is destroyed. Use "bringin' down the house" song if you found it. Then rush Ophelia's stage.

[@ainsliehunter9291]

+noisetank15 Okay, thanks!

[@ravedave1684]

i remember jack black was walking around as the main character for brutal legend

[@jamesryan099]

brutal legend is great.

[@Mandalore1985]

Tim Schafer is the master of making games that no one plays.

[@moonkingdomify]

There was recently a documentary about how it wasn't just E.T. buried in the land fill. Many stores were getting over stock of all games due to the overall poor sales of video games at the time. It wasn't just E.T. that nearly destroyed the gaming industry either, it was a bunch of other games with, honestly, worse gameplay and programming. The guy who made it made the game in 6 weeks with old technology, its like being asked to make a 16 bit rpg in 6 weeks now a days. You could do it but it would be shit.

[@Snolferd]

THANK YOU

[@moonkingdomify]

Snolferd I know, people don't understand how hard it is to actually make a game, which is why you don't see actual game developers picking on ET. I've tried to make a game and I can't even think about how much harder it would have had to have been when they had much less user friendly programs. Let's just say there's a reason I'm going to school for it. And there are definitely worse games. Download a rom of it and play it for yourself. It's bad, but it's good for a game that was made in 6 weeks with a very limited engine to work on (it wasn't high end, even at the time)

[@joeyclemenza7339]

Those were actually games that originated from a cartridge manufacturing plant in El Paso, TX.... Just an hour outside of Alamogordo, NM - where the cartridges were buried. When the crash occurred, many factories closed up shop... And thus, these surplus games were buried as a result. The myth of the game being "SO BAD THEY HAD TO BURY THEM!" is just that, a myth. Atari had cut jobs in the thousands and manufacturing plants were forced to either shut down or re-organize their development strategy.

[@faaldeyra]

I saw Brutal Legend. I fuggin' love Brutal Legend.

[@kevinalford]

Van Diesel?

[@bernardmishra]

Even the way he says "budget" is weird

[@serioussaitama4071]

Rename the video "most expensive video games that bombed"

[@karigreyd2808]

Advertising is the problem i haven't heard of most of these games. With budgets that big, people need to see advertising.

[@RunicSSB]

+Krevin Grard Brutal Legend, Darksiders II, Duke Nukem Forever and Too Human got an extreme amount of advertising.

[@a.c.slater7989]

Some of them had commercials on TV , ads in websites and magazines , etc. Marketing won't save everything

[@whytide.]

Brutal Legend was the shit, dude.

[@LiveForFuntasy]

Shenmue's $70 million budget was NOT for the one game. Yu Suzuki directly confirmed that the $70 million included the budget for Shenmue 2. Shenmue 1's budget by itself was in the $40 million range. Gaming journalists just endlessly parrot incorrect info about Shenmue. They did it back then, and they're doing it worse than ever when it comes to Shenmue 3.

[@ArikaStack]

Wait, wait, wait. URU cost 12 million? I know the open source bit didn't happen until a while after it released but holy crap... that's a really really big budget for something that... yeah. 3d art is where it's at. Well, it's where it used to be at least. Also I'm still surprised Brutal Legend failed, considering I bought it twice, once on release, and one again when I decided to grow up and play video games on the PC.

[@matteste]

What about Genei Ibunroku♯FE? I don't know the exact budget but from the looks of it, it wasn't cheap. And the number of units sold? 23 000. Everyone kinda saw that one coming though considering how it screwed over not one, but two established franchises and their fanbases.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

I love the concept of Brutal Legend as it's an adventure game based around how awesome heavy metal is but it had an open world with hardly anything to do in it and the weird RTS stages didn't do anything for me at all. If it had been a Devil May Cry style hack n slash adventure game it would've been so much better.

[@TommyDaGreatest]

One thing. It's called id software. Pronounced "idd software". Not ID software like "idea software". That people still do this mistake D:

[@AlsoMeowskivich]

as I hear it, Shenmue actually had a significantly lower budget than that. Sega merely "fudged the numbers a bit" on it to make it sound more grand than it was. Though there was still a considerable amount of money on it.

[@BoogieManFL]

What does it take to not be a bombing failure? For example, if Darksiders 2 sold approximately 1.5 million copies at launch, even at just $40 dollars each (thought it was 50-60) doesn't that still give them a $10 million profit, not counting sales that aren't considered launch sales?

[@furyberserk]

Darksiders 3. Originally the 4 horsemen are War, Pestilence, Death and something else that isn't fury, but the main character would have become known as Fury because who wants to play a game about poisoning people rather than going through a rage. I'm questioning if they should make a 3rd. I sat through a walkthrough of Dark Siders 2, and it was too, not dark.

[@omfgjflo]

where's this info coming from? for starters, E.T. didn't kill an already dying company. There's a documentary on the the game itself that covers that section. Stuff I don't want to get into like Atari allowing unlicensed game developers to make garbage games for a console just to make a quick buck. E.T. just caught the full flame of that s*** show because of release date.

[@gavmcdonald7684]

I think subscription based games should have been in a seperate category as the subscription costs can soon override production costs. Also speaking of MMO's what about WIldstar and The Old Republic? I also think that E.T. has been overexhagerated in it's failure, yes it was bad but compared to some modern day failures it almost isn't worth mentioning.

[@thierryvt]

just a note: APB is still online at this moment under the name APB:R (all points bulletin: reloaded), run by gamersfirst. It's free 2 play even and not that bad. If you can get passed the pay2win mentality of the developers that is. It's worth checking out imo.

[@adamtoredas1786]

I worked at Funcom (The Secret World) as a programmer and it was a rough time. Funcom was an indie company published by EA... I heard from some highup that EA fucked us up because they were releasing an MMO of their own as well (star wars)....

[@ruleroftheapes]

ET games being found in the landfill was actually a large reseller going bankrupt and dumping their stock in the landfill. There's a documentary on it showing on Netflix (Atari: Game Over). Also the many different things brought the video game crash including new games being pushed out on a near weekly basis along with a saturated market.

[@gonza3vidal]

They are 3 types of games, the good games with good critics that people didn't give a chance , awful games than don't deserve being bought and the canceled ones. Grim Fandango Darksiders 2 Psychonauts Shenmue Brutal Legend Are the good ones.

[@Joshuk1984]

Darksiders 2 was THQ's swan song. It was a great game. Damn shame they went tits up, because I would of loved to have seen a 3rd instalment. Though it could be possible because Nordic Games bought the IP ages ago, so you never know.

[@hayden1000able]

Man I loved Grim Fandango (especially the remaster) psychonauts and brutal legend! Such a shame these didn't make very much profit :,( well I certainly got my money's worth out of these games :)

[@Kinaldio]

Small typo I noticed. You said, "Subscription-based MMO's don't have much scope these days unless they have the name 'Warcraft' attached". It's actually pronounced "Final Fantasy"

[@AlexandriaBrah]

E.T. was kind of a dumb choice for this specific list, it wasn't expensive to make (made by one guy in five and a half weeks ) but it did bomb due to overproduction and not being very good. (But it's far from the worst game ever)

[@magiseth]

Bombed is a bit harsh for The Secret World. Being "not as popular as wow" is pretty much every non-moba online game, and The Secret World just hit its 4th year, so it must be doing something that makes money.

[@CG-sv2nw]

Anything by Tim Shafer is amazing. But don't try to 100% brutal legend it will wipe your saves at about 90%. And it is nothing like guitar hero, this guy should research better.

[@LittIeRoo]

defiance and brutal legends are two good games i have played. both on PC. Defiance did have a bad storymode. but the raids and invasions were downright awesome. fighting so many enemies with a crapload of players was fun. brutal legends had its glitches on PC where the solo selection screen would malfunction by going haywire whilst selecting one, making it hard to pick a certain solo. for the rest it was enjoyable.

[@Flip86x]

There was a reason 3D Realms never released Duke Nukem Forever. It wasn't good. That is the reason it was in development hell for so damn long. They didn't want to release a shitty game. So, is it a fucking surprise that it was critically panned when it finally got released under another developer?

[@falloutspartan416]

Idk how much it cost to produce, but Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath was a pretty big flop, even though it was a good game. from my understanding, most people blame ea for not doing their job as the publisher.

[@blopenshtop]

Wanna know what really pisses me off? One of my favourite games Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain cost 120-150m and only sold 2-3m copies :'(

[@RagnarokMic]

Psychonauts, Darksiders, and Shenmue are some of my favorite games ever. It's a pity Shenmue couldn't have been a PS2 title, it might have stood a chance, the game was ahead of it's time. Be nice if we can get some remasters for when Shenmue 3 drops.

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

How much did Wonderful 101 cost to make? It was such a spectacular game and it sold like shit.

[@Smokinjoewhite]

Brutal Legend being described as an RTS/Guitar Hero hybrid is just fucking laughable, there was so much to that game and the "Guitar Hero" similarities are almost non existant.

[@southofheck]

I'm so fucking tired of seeing ET at the top of "worst ever" lists. Ok. It's a bad game. We get it. But there are worse games. It was on the Atari. Everything on the Atari is dated and shitty I'm 2016.

[@Flasa]

"15 Most Expensive Video Games That You WON'T BELIEVE Bombed"... Brings 15 videogames that are widely known for having bombed.

[@lastwolflord]

Brutal legend was a fun game until you had to do the main stage battles. Then it just became another RTS grinder. And the defiance game was fun. But it was just pointless. Nothing mattered. Including getting better weapons.

[@Essy-cat]

The problem with defiance was more due to Trion adding more than players wanted, and not fixing major issues with the content already existing. I played it a lot, but with every new addition, the bugs and connectivity issues just got worse and worse

[@Kharn526]

100 mil for Too Human ? Umm perhaps a audit would be appropriate for some of these companies. No way this money is going into the game NOW WAY!

[@olstar18]

I really think they need to stop including games from before 1990 on lists like this. It absolutely requires et to be put on the list and by now all of us know how major a flop it was which takes out the thrill of finding out what the number 1 failure is.

[@axelwulf6220]

Well, when you're trying to compete with FPS because everyone apparently needs the online multiplayer b.s. you kinda get overshadowed and your products get swept aside

[@theriffwriter2194]

ive tried to play defiance a dozen times but is has an update that takes over seven hours to complete (with a 50 meg connection) and it always times out. As far as I know it could be the best free to play game in history but I'll never get to try it out.

[@hanselmanryanjames]

I.D. SOFTWARE!?!? Maybe you should get someone who knows a little something about video games to read your scripts.

[@shadowslayer1985]

many games of this list are actually pretty good Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, Shemue, Brutal Legend it is hard to understand why they did not sell well at least they became cult classics and many people play them today

[@agarcia8800]

i was 1 of the secret worlds buyers, not a bad game, only thing that made it pointless to play was it was FUCKING HARD.

[@NghtDtryr]

Brutal Legend and Darksiders 2 are two of the best games I've ever played! They're so damn underrated... It disappoints me so much...

[@AlexOvTheAbyss]

First off, Brutal Legend was NOTHING like Guitar Hero, no idea where you got that. Second, it is "id" not "I.D.".

[@JamesSmith-yq2ls]

For me, the biggest loss from my pocket was purchasing 'The Crew' on PS4, it hasn't been played once since the first go.

[@creadcharles]

Grim Fandango is a fantastic game, holds up today even with the old fashioned graphics, and better than many of the old 'classic' Lucasarts titles.

[@Reavan07]

Kingdoms of Amular killed its company

[@lainecallahan8977]

But it was such a fun game and the DLC was worth every penny

[@mrobscene4816]

First 10 are cult classics and very popular among real gamers. I don't see how they flopped when everyone in my city was playing them.

[@MicrosoftNestleTea]

After playing Brutal Legend, twice, once on the hardest difficulty... How did this game fail? It's so damn fun.

[@Adidas0Tube]

LOL, 50 million for Darksiders 2, try about 1/3 of that. Where are you guys getting your numbers from on this?

[@JayDaVillian1991]

good news is grim fandango is suppose be getting a remastered version i think on psn. psychonauts and shenmue are getting sequels...thank you crowd funding.

[@dgkcasper4456]

Psychonauts is a classic...Grim fandango as well...Secret world is a hit too very succesful especially for a mmorpg wtf is this list?

[@Jameskaimuki]

Secret World did better after changing its model to pay to play rather than subscription. Probably would have been better if they did it at launch.

[@DoopyBooper]

Brutal Legends is my favorite Game ever for the xbox 360! I fucking love it, and I want more of it!

[@jacobprayer8656]

It wasn't just E.T. cartridges that were found. 2600 consoles and copies of Pac-Man were found as well.

[@thirdofherne9232]

It'd be interesting to know how much Acti-Blizz sank into 'Project Titan' before they scrapped it.

[@mrblonde609]

Who's Van Diesel? How is "Brütal Legend" in any way related to "Guitar Hero"? This video is a joke.

[@moediggity8797]

How is Evolve not number 1 on this list?

[@fastsilver1455]

It was disappointing, it wasn't a bomb. Just a game that had potential but then resorted to DLC.

[@xuhhhhh]

All 15 should have been Destiny Lol. Only joking. Even if it was pathetic for 500 million

[@LazyHitman1993]

APB looks like a generic 3rd person Battlefield Hardline lol. I don't know which one came first though.

[@simvlacrvm]

you dont even mentioned star wars the old republic, a mmo whos one of the expensivest ever, which lost over one million preorder subscribers in the first month.
