Most Disappointing Games of the Decade | Cvit

[@callumwakeling8443]

Funny because The Evil Within 1 was one of my favourite games this decade

[@Roxma101]

Same for me and many others. Seems like a polarizing games. You either ignore the faults (which there are admittedly quite a few of; the game is by no means a technical masterpiece) and fall in love, or just get hung up on said faults and are left disappointed. I'm completely used to games with bad framerates (loved the souls games), don't mind the letterbox at all (Dragon's Dogma was another one of my most recent favorite games), and can forgive a game's unrefined facade if it has as much substance underneath the surface as TEW did. So I ended up loving it. If you were expecting something to compete with RE 4 just because it had the same director behind it I feel like you were set up for disappointment.

[@SynergyxVeNN]

Yeah same here. Evil within 1 and 2 were phenomenal. And I hate the horror genre of games.

[@jasper491]

I’m surprised you talked negatively about Alien: Isolation. It’s honestly one of my favorite games of the decade (and among the best horror games of all time). IMO it nails the retro-futuristic aesthetic perfectly (still looking better than most AAA games that come out today) with a pretty solid story that sadly kind of falls apart near the end. I like how it incorporates immersive sim elements pretty seamlessly as well. Yeah it was pretty buggy at least on launch, and it has some of the now-overdone AAA videogame elements like shallow crafting (albeit still done a lot better where it actually encourages exploration and backtracking to find new recipes). Calling it a “buggy mess” is overly harsh imo. I can still remember when people were talking negatively about Alien Isolation (in the aftermath of Colonial Marines) and positively about The Evil Within prior to both games’ launches, after which everyone was pretty surprised how they actually turned out.

I absolutely love alien isolation. It’s not the best but it knows the source material and fits the atmosphere of the first movie perfectly. The alien’s AI was great and didn’t have a real pattern to its movements. I never experienced any bugs while playing either.

[@rhandyrhoads12]

The Evil Within. I agree with the derivative nature of the game. I couldn't even get past the first 20 minutes. The game mechanics are a dumbed-down pastiche of AAA titles, which translates into a totally lack of freedom, agency nor creativity by part of the player. Interaction is rendered senseless, a convoluted way of passing from point A to B, going from page 1 to 2 through visceral yet empty action set-pieces.

[@JDT979]

The (most likely) answer to why P5S looks much better than Berserk is because it's different teams. Berserk was done by the usual licensing team of Omega Force (coincidentally, they also did Hyrule Warriors albeit together with Team Ninja so we now have two incredibly inconsistent studios) whereas P5S is being done by the same team that did Toukiden and Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2. They usually don't announce who is doing what but you can tell from the producers of each. And considering Toukiden 2 AND DQH2 came out in 2016 they probably would rather use their most expendable studio for something that's not exactly a prestige project (as in, neither their own original IP nor an IP owned by another studio they possibly want to get rehired by).

@singularon1 Op Raccon city is like the better big brother to WWZ released last year. Its left 4 dead in third person. Its tried to be this and it worked. I wouldnt call it disappointing. Its not exactly from the caliber of re4 and 7, but its not a shitshow FCA game like the classics, or a copy like re revelations 2(from the evil within).. If i had to pick most disappointing? mass effect andromeda, no mans sky, the outer worlds, fear 3, dragon age inquisition. I agree with some points of the video, with disagree with others. Basically the criteria for disappointing is expectations vs reality. It doesnt have to be anything special, just as long as it doesnt stray from what was promised.

[@shogunc7718]

I never did consider Umbrella Corp a sequel to anything, it was just a multiplayer spin off. I actually had a lot of fun the first week it dropped when everyone was trying it. It was no masterpiece, but it was fun. People wanted it to be something it was never meant to be though.

Some my favourite levels were the shooting range, the china town market and the court house. They were so fun to replay. Hitman has become one my favourite game series, and it’s all due to me taking a chance on Absolution when I found it in a discount rack at a Kmart one day.

[@desmondbrown5508]

I'll agree with you on every game here, as I felt the same, except The Evil Within. Was is disappointing? Yeah, it was a little compared to the hype. But it wasn't THAT disappointing. And it was also one of the games that had an interesting skill ceiling where after several playthroughs, much like RE4, you could time out encounters and set up match throws to make combat much more interesting and satisfying. Evil Within 2 did a MUCH better job in my opinion but ultimately I still think Evil WIthin was fine. Also, I don't agree that just because a feature is "overused" that it's automatically bad. The way Evil Within 1 and 2 use stealth and crafting is fine. There isn't really any other way to use such a mechanic unless they spent another couple of years working on environment programming and adding in dozens of other systems like what Thief had. And that's ultimately not what the game was about. And on the other hand, had they removed stealth, fine... but then everything else would need to be rebalanced and it would pretty much just play exactly like RE4 at that point. So I think Evil Within had a decent mix of mechanics that made it feel fresh in comparison to other RE games it was based on and adding extra tension. The real problem with Evil Within, for me, was the sheer over use of 1-hit deaths. Again, this was rectified with Evil Within 2, but the first game was WAAAY too reliant on instant kill enemies and traps. It got to the point where just running through everything and circle strafing enemies felt more reliable that trying to play careful because you just wasted less time. And a lot of the "fear" goes away when the game just repeatedly kills the player out of nowhere with instant kills. The best horror games (Silent Hill, for example) realize that you don't need to kill people to create tension and horror. In fact, it's almost better to have near-deaths than deaths because you're left with that feeling of satisfaction from escape but the concern that if you hadn't gotten a little lucky you'd have died. This is one of those things movies exploit (as we often know that most if not all characters will die) because it's more about the experience than the result. And the best games understand this as well.

Hoshido: Dating Sim Nohr: Decent difficulty Revelations: Somehow worse than both

[@mishatpr3306]

It surprised me to see my favorite FE in this list. The points he makes are valid, but its not a franchise that deserves to be judged on story alone. Playing on expert difficulty was great on the Nohr-side, especially on the very last maps against Hinoka, Ryouma and Takumi, finding a way to not let a single character die and still quite challening on the Hoshido-side (even though Ryouma was OP as hell and almost carrying the whole game solo). Since FE Awakening was my first FE, i only played expert on a 2nd run and boy, does it turn into unplayable nightmare fuel midway, enemies casually having around 80hp and oneshotting 90% of your team. Theres alot more i would and could want to say here, but probably not needed yet.

The Evil Within 1 and 2 are my personal favorites in the survival action-horror sub-genre.

I feel like games where your in an enclosed space such as a building (As in Outlast 1) are much scarier. Outlast 2 is not too scary because if you see an enemy, just run run run in the other direction, whilst outlast 1 would plundge you into situations with some giant dude in a highly compact corridor, and your need to run into a room and juke or try find a way around him, instead of just running 20 meters in the other direction

To me the most disappointing game of this decade was Kingdom Come Deliverance. I had been waiting for it since it was announced and I was really excited because it's a brutal and realistic openworld medieval rpg. I love everything about the aesthetic and design but the gameplay and the controls were just constantly fighting with me, and the numerous glitches were funny but a lot of them were game breaking too. The game has one of the most retarded main characters that to took me out of the experience. I had played like 3 hours straight of that game but it still felt like a tutorial. I know they have improved the game a lot more since it was released but that first experience was so abysmal.
