30 Games That DIVIDED PLAYERS

Art is subjective in nature, and video games being a form of art - their public reception can’t always be unanimously positive or negative. There have been many times when games have received polarizing reviews from fans, with some absolutely loving the experience while others expressing feelings of dislike and frustration.
These feelings can arise from a multitude of reasons ranging from radical changes to a franchise’s identity to gameplay mechanics or even certain narrative choices among others.
Over the years, we have seen plenty of such instances where highly anticipated games ended up being divisive releases that continue to be a major point of contention between fans. To that end, we present 30 of the biggest divisive games of all time.

Massive days gone fan here. I consider it to be the best apocalypse game ever made

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Same. The adrenaline of suddenly coming across a heard of 200 zombies, running for your life, preparing a plan and executing it to destroy them is like nothing else.

[@gamejew123]

I wouldn't go that far personally. But I really do enjoy days gone, enough to play it 2 times since it came out on PC.

[@chiapets2594]

That's a joke

[@Mixedbeats18]

... Left 4 dead series you played?

[@mtnman8783]

​@@iHaveTheDocumentsoh man tell me about it. The first time I encountered a horde I had to pause it and just sit there for about 5 minutes lol

[@ARIXANDRE]

Days Gone divided critics more than it did fans. It's a great game.

[@israelruiz8706]

Days gone is one of the oddest games for me. I loved it but i do justify those early reviews that trashed the game. Mostly the ones that focused on the bugs. I bought the game day one and experience multiple crashes. Voices did not match the models during cutscenes. Some camps flat out didnt load properly and had invisible walls. I put the game down for like 2 months before trying again. Game was night and day. It played a lot better and became one of the few games i actually cared enough to platinum. Wish sony had actually cared about this game enough to support it. They never really gave it a good marketing push and they abandoned it after release. Despite decent sales

I am pretty sure ChatGPT wrote this video.

[@EatWave]

Machines do excel at ordering things by numerical values and compiling data so it should not come as a surprise that that lists such as these are heavily automated.

[@Seahawk-be7zz]

The division 1 is another example

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Days gone was only bad at first because it wasn't ready yet to be released. I got it on pc and it's incredible. It's def not considered weak anymore, just look at what ppl say in every comment section now

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

Nah, you still see a lot of dissenting voices on Days Gone too. It's pretty divisive today too. Honestly think it's because the beginning is so clunky feeling. Shooting especially feels like shit in the first couple hours, and it feels like there's ammo scarcity because if you try to fight, you'll blow right through your ammo regularly, without getting enough money or loot restock. I say that because that's a lot of the complaints I see, and it's what chased me off the first time trying it. Which was only a year or so ago.

[@candjim]

Arkham Origins is a brilliant game.

[@HolyCross9]

Makes me sick to my stomach that both The Last Guardian AND Arkham Origins are on this dreadful list.

[@MelloxYT]

Days gone and death stranding what a beautiful games ❤❤❤

[@israelruiz8706]

You know i liked the order 1886 and thougnt it was worth every penny. Granted i bought it on sale for 5 dollars

[@Potter13579PSN]

Watch Dogs 1 always has been the best one in the series.

[@Ronuk1996]

Maxpayne3 is one of then best TPS games of all time spinter cell conviction is also great. Gaming Nerds always bitch when a game is a bit differnt from previous ones.

[@SeongJeonHwan]

mass effect andromeda nowadays is actually kinda fun from a combat gameplay perspective..although using mako for exploration is kinda frustrating...

[@xRoeJogan]

I love MGSV. It’s sad they released such an unfinished game. It’s impressive how polished it is all things considered. It would be one of the best games ever if it could have been finished with Kojima at the helm.

[@markwalch6065]

Good vid. Think loads are being unfairly hostile to the guy as hes only pointing out facts. These games DID divide player opinions at the time. I loved the majority except resi 6.

[@agtjackbauer]

The only people that hated the things you said about days gone our critics😂🤣😂

[@tyleroutland435]

I love cyberpunk 2077

[@Adam-M-]

Talking about divisive: I really liked Starfield. It wasn't the ground shaking new game as advertised, but I enjoyed it for the game's flaws and I'm interested to see what expansions it gets.

[@tyleroutland435]

I love death stranding

[@HarleySchultz-ii3ut]

whoa whoa wtf max payne 3 was fucking amazing so was arkham origins, splinter cell conviction, gears of war judgement, days gone, syndicate, halo 4, and mgsv to me they're all great games way better compared to games today

[@HarleySchultz-ii3ut]

oh shit i forgot to mention hitman absolution that was a good game too yeah it wasn't as good as the other 3 hitman games but it's better than the new hitman games that are out right now

[@marcussimmons4122]

I've said it a thousand times, I'll say it again. did people really think Joel could wipe out the fireflies and doom humanity without consequences??

[@MichaelMassie]

Days Gone was an awesome game.

[@tyleroutland435]

I love watch dogs 1 my favorite watch dogs game

[@echad6259]

Once I found the guys wife I was done playing

[@mohamedfaroukelewa5905]

context ?

[@tyleroutland435]

I absolutely love days gone

[@imdavidbaby]

I forgot about syndicate good game

[@soudhannain6991]

I don't get it but...most of the games in this list are greatest games and also till nowadays no other game match their experience. So how is this games is divided the gamers?? Personal, i entered in the series by most because of this games.

[@menegene4129]

Love how the AI bot totally glossed over what actually caused the controversy with TLOU2 while singing it's praises. Why did I renew my sub for this channel?

[@tyleroutland435]

I love the order 1886

[@TevyaSmolka]

i still think resident evil 6 was just a disappointment.

[@demonhead1610]

Arkham Origins shouldn't have been pn this list smh....

[@gamejew123]

Id give mass effect Andromeda a 5/10 their is some things i like about it.

[@mohamedfaroukelewa5905]

Games that Journalists ignore : Hogwarts + ME SOW ... pretty much anything from WB

[@mostafaabdulal3619]

Your didn't mansion any reasons why 30 Games divided players ....

[@ttin0]

Um... The Last Guardian was what ?

[@comradestannis]

The Do Not Order 1886

[@krlayne]

Zeroth!

[@DerangedCoconut808]

im pretty sure there were 4 other videos with this list shuffled around...you guys gonna try something more unique or at least add less obvious titles? there were millions of games and its always the same ones in different positions with slightly different titles that mean the same.

[@PW1687]

Days gone is awesome

[@AtomicEy]

*easy* - Death stranding

[@tyleroutland435]

Batman Arkham origns is my favorite Arkham game Batman Arkham knight should be on this list that is a trash sequel and the worst Arkham game

[@vanman266]

Days gone is absolutely dreadful

[@tyleroutland435]

I liked last of us 2

[@ellaknight5035]

Only homefront the revolution fans can like this comment

[@covvvex]

for love of god please stop repeating name of the title twice, its so annoying

[@AtomicEy]

for me its when uploader has captions on so that viewers can't turn off

[@covvvex]

@@AtomicEy I wish they could have done it differently

[@cmoorproductions]

FIRST

[@matthew-jy5jp]

I often wonder do all of you ever realize how much you actually complain ? 😂 You will literally pick apart anything anybody does. Don't buy it. Someone's creative work. And your creative space is picking apart someone else's real creative work.
