My Top 10 Worst Games of 2017 are games that I've played that were either disappointing or utter crap. There's some games that you will wholeheartedly agree, others you'll be surprised at. But again, these are my opinion. Some of these games I wanted to love, wanted to enjoy playing, but in the end there was just too glaring of issues for me to enjoy them.
Let me know what you think should be added to the worst games of 2017!

I'm new to your content. Maybe it's just coincidence, but of the 7ish vids of yours I've watched you say something along the lines of "I'm gonna get hate for this" in every one. Dude, this is the internet, say whatever you want and don't apologize for it. You have really good opinions and good vids, who cares if some punks in the comments complain about one of the things you say.

[@shmalts1]

Bump. Been watching this channel for a long time and it’s a bummer to see my man on the defense so much lately. He’s gotten some bad shit in the last year for sponsorship stuff but is still churning out good stuff.

[@Micaelangel07]

The thing is that there are a lot of people out there really pouring hate on him, on the level of death threats. All because people think it's fun to rage at others. This shit doesn't fly in the real world but thrives online. It's really hard to form an opinion on something like this without experiencing it fo yourself. You might get irritated and move on from getting some flak in a reply to your comment, yes? Multiply that by hundreds daily in more formats. Anything from twitch, youtube, emails, twitter etc. It sucks that people can be such dicks to each other when they know they can get away with it.

[@MosesPrimm]

Son Goku Yeah he seems like that shit really gets to him

[@sRtAoIrNm]

I've been watching his videos for a long time, and he has always done that. I think he may see some people expressing their difference in opinions as 'hate' when it isn't, but there also is always a lot of unwarranted, real, hate on the internet and I can see how that can get to people over time.

Marvel VS. Capcom: Infinite's roster wasn't even Capcom's fault, from what I've heard. Disney abused their rights HEAVILY when it came to MVC: Infinite. They removed some characters as to avoid cross-promotion, *literally going against the entire point of MVC* , which forced Capcom to remove some characters so the roster would be equal.

[@joykills5433]

Getting Over It was so popular and fun not because of the rage and views, but because of the nostalgic feeling of winning something you have worked so hard for whilst hearing interesting calm dialog :)

[@NintendoCapriSun]

I tried the whole Getting Over It thing, got about 3 parts in and I'm about 85% sure I'm done. Here's the thing though, 'cause I doubt I'm the only one who thought this. When you watch somebody play it, the game looks extremely easy. You think to yourself "Hmm, I bet if I gave this a shot, just maybe I'd plow right through it and impress everybody! Doesn't look that bad!" Then of course you actually try it and find yourself up sh!t creek. I think I even made a random quip in part 3 like "Jirard, please never play this, get as far away from it as you can," but guess I was too late! Haha On the subject of clickbait, your videos definitely do not by any stretch fall into that set. What you see in the title/thumbnail is exactly what you get. There's no manipulation or buzzfeed deception going on. Just the same straight up quality content we've come to expect. So rock on, I say.

[@aggohyf]

Did you know PUBG publishers are upset about Fortnite Battle Royale as if PUBG came up with an original idea. There is a chain of how unoriginal PUBG is at the bottom of the chain is Fortnite Battle Royale, which sought to improve PUBG which ripped off The Culling which turned Minecraft Survival Games into a video game, which was just The Hunger Games in Minecraft, Which is a rip off of a Japanese film called Battle Royale, which was inspired by the gladiator arena's in history.

[@dylancross1039]

Kaizo Aleks Didn't The Culling come out around the same time as Pubg?

[@aggohyf]

Dylan Cross your right the culling came first as well I should add it to the chain above PUBG

[@dawgiedawg6893]

You guys do realize the Dev of PUBG made the Battle Royal mode in Daybreak's H1Z1 and didn't have as much control as he wanted so left. And he has done mods for Battle Royals since Arma 2, he pioneered the entire genre up until he released his own game PUBG. But according to you guys in 2017 a random guy made PUBG and thought he was the first one to do it in that year. Battle Royal is not a new thing but bringing it to video games is and Brenden Greene has been doing that since 2010, not 2017. So yeah it's understandable that Fortnite is biting off Brenden as 90% of Battle Royal mod/game has been touched by him for over half a decade.

[@aggohyf]

K you don't have to yell I understand your points and do you honestly think I a person on the internet would look up a game developers biography to confirm my points. Minecraft survival games is still older I'll just remove The Culling. He's still ripping off stuff.

[@dawgiedawg6893]

Lol the Minecraft survival games are directly based off the movie The Hunger Games and the ARMA 2 mod is more based off the original Japanese movie and the Hunger Games are based on the original Japanese movie. Fortnite is definitely biting off his style but at the same time everyone is biting off everyone, that's the way the world works.

"Top 10 Worst Games of 2017">"This isn't that this game is bad/I like it" You should have called this video "Top 10 Most Dissapointing Games of 2017".

[@darkwatershadow]

I don't think the appeal of watching Getting Over it lies in seeing people rage. It can be funny, sure, but the reason I enjoy watching it is kind of similar to watching people play hard Mario Maker levels. You WANT them to win. Every inch of progress is something to cheer for and the more they die/fall, the better they get until they eventually get over it and beat the level/climb the mountain. Getting Over It is such a weird game too that you kind of want to hang around to see what's going to happen next. Each new milestone is something that tests the climber in a new way by bringing up new challenges to overcome and forcing you to learn new techniques. Watching a new player turn into a climbing master is oddly satisfying (to me anyway). It's a dumb frustrating game, sure, but I think it's an interesting game experience despite that. I dunno, I find it oddly compelling.

[@deeznutsandbolts9676]

Assuming you weren't being at all sarcastic, you are a rare one. Alot of people I see actually enjoy watching someone's failures and their reactions. And while [most] people who subscribe, DO root for their streamer / channel to succeed and overcome whatever it is, that's not always the case. In addition, the many trolls and low-lifes of the internet get a giggle at seeing someone fail. Props to you.

[@darkwatershadow]

I'd say it's a even split. People seem to come for the initial reactions/rage (and some of them do get bored and leave) but if the streamer sticks with it and makes progress they seem to get equal cheers and jeers by the end. At least that's been the experience I had watching a few of my twitch subscriptions tackle that mountain. Offtopic: Your name amuses me more than it should.

[@devvynoler322]

darkwatershadow I agree with you completely. If you want a prime example of this, just watch PBG & SpaceHampster's playthrough. They not playing just to rage & get views. They genuinely want to progress in the game, they're genuinely enjoying themselves, & their viewers are rooting for them.

[@SergeantSam3D]

I agree with you @darkwatershadow, the game is not just a way to put someone into rage, its rather seeing how the person masters the game and getting thrilled how far a person can get until he falls. Also playing it makes you both angry at times and hooked because its an Skill game where luck can help you out temporarily. Overall I think the game is an great experience for people with endurance.

[@Zomboy123456789]

People buy it because they want to be able to say they beat it. Which to that I say, do what I did. Buy it. Play it for less than 2 hours to see how far yah get, then refund it. And at the end of the day I used the money I was refunded to buy Battleblock Theater instead. A game the creators actually gave a shit about.

[@carlbloke8797]

*sees Sonic Forces included on the list* Thank you Jirard. Forces may not be the worst game but it is one of the most disappointing especially when they could've had people that actually understood how to make a great Sonic game like Whitehead's crew. The stages felt lazy and copy and paste, the story was lackluster and inconsistent at times with what was already established and characters like Tails really got ruined(my god why is he a coward when he's shown to hold his own against chaos?)

[@staticshock4239]

Not only is it worse than Sonic Mania, it's worse than Sonic Generations. Also I really hate Sega for falsely advertising the game by saying it was "from the team that brought you Sonic Colors and Generations" when in reality no one from Colors or Generations worked on it except for Colors' director, who was also Lost World's director.

[@johnman8398]

To be fair most of development was spent on the engine made for the game with only 1 year with actual development and the people working on the game were all newbies except for one lost world person as the colours/generations team were either busy on other projects or no longer with the company. But I think if they didn't have the time constraints it would've been a much better game I mean they did a decent (though disappointing) job despite the problems.

Maybe Jirard didn't play Bubsy, so that's why it's not on the list.

Same dude. I'm a huge star wars fan and was hyped for it. It looks great visually and promised proper space battles, a new single player story and basically fixed and improved everything that made me not but the original.... only to then be a pay to win grindfest mobile game disguised as a triple a game. Thank God for Jim Sterling, saved me £50 he did. That game is a kick in the nuts for both gamers and star wars fans and even to the Walt Disney company as a whole.

[@ShouAlias-io7ud]

Yep, in the same camp. Always loved Star Wars, grew up with it, etc. Played the old games, and hesitantly embraced the first EA Battlefront to find an enriching Star Wars experience that I can enjoy. When I feel like I've been thrown into the movies? That's good shit. So when EA announced II, I was excited! I was ready to embrace it, with open arms! But....then the news started rolling in. The Lootbox Shitstorm happened (while I agree that tying lootboxes to pay-to-win strategies is highly toxic and has no place in AAA titles, I do not find lootboxes themselves to a problem. When done right; EG: Overwatch, they're pretty harmless, IMO). Multiple government officials began investigating lootboxes, with one country declaring them illegal. EA refused to listen or even communicate with its userbase. The end result....is something I would say is only self-inflicted. Both on EA, and myself. I had SEVERAL months to reconsider my decision to pre-order the game, and yet I decided to be optimistic and go for it anyways. What's really frustrating is that, underneath it all, I *do* see the faint glimmer of a good game. The maps are much tighter and less spread out than previous, so you don't need a jetpack on every loadout to play competently. Ship controls have been polished so they feel less loose. No more scrambling for powerups littered around the map. But at the end of the day, the game's entire structure was built around exploiting players to make a quick buck. I can still derive enjoyment from playing the game, but it's definitely not as engaging as the previous one. Goddammit. The whole experience just makes me more upset that we never got 1313.

You could tell me sonic 06 is your favourite sonic game and I’ll laugh at you but not say your autistic for liking it. Different people look for different things in a game like unfair difficulty games that make you rage. Don’t act like your better than someone because they like certain things otherwise your gonna hate almost everyone on the planet. Which I assume you already do.

[@pubcle]

As I said in another, it's enjoyable to me. I like games that challenge me so long as it isn't insurmountable. I enjoy IWBTG and Super Ghouls n Ghosts. I like it to spit in my face and shout at me to beat it and I don't get that sense of rage with things other than glitches or when really competitive mood and on multiplayer and I feel really strongly that something should have happened but that's passing. You might not enjoy it, Jirard might not enjoy it, but that doesn't mean there's not a niche market that does. There's a reason things like IWBTG and Kaizo Mario have a cult following beyond just people watching others.

[@icedsteel1606]

With regards to Getting Over It, I agree with you wholeheartedly that it gained popularity solely for the fact of twitch and KZbin rage, but it’s not meant to be a rage game. The whole thing is dealing with obstacles and keeping at it, and essentially trying NOT to be angry. It’s not meant to be a rage game, it’s supposed to help you deal with anger with it’s challenge. . . I mean it backfires since all everyone does is scream in anger when playing it

[@bobbyferg9173]

Honestly I feel like it was meant to be a rage game while not looking like a rage game. It may seem like the narrator is trying to encourage you at first but it more or less ends up more like the narrator is talking down to you and your failure is trivial, which only makes you more mad. Not to mention that the whole time he sounds like someone who constantly wants to bring attention as to how smart he sounds.

As much as i think Fortnite is better, PUBG doesn't deserve to be lower than battlefront and mass effect. Also I feel destiny 2 should have been on there with the logic you where using in ranking these games.

I think my opinion matters but, he specified the spectrum is most dissapointing to bad, and although I personally think the EA games are bad, they aren't broken nearly as much

[@Vipes3]

I agree about Destiny, but, maybe Jirard just never touched it? How can he say its a bad game, if he didn't play?

[@MojoStrummer]

Jirard doesn't play Destiny, so he can't give an opinion on it

[@stevenn1940]

That was hilarious, the bit with PUBG and fortnite. You basically said what I've been saying all along. It's more fun, better polished, regularly updated (every single week!), actually optimized, and yes, FREE. Side note, the PVE mode will be free too later this year.

[@SockLove]

i get why PUBG is so famous, basicly twitch, thats why KOTH was so popular aswell. Im not saying its a bad game, but it being 30$ wen its glitchy, bad performance bit boring and all you have is 2 maps on a game that includes lootboxes, i mean, cmon now. Full released and costs 30$ and theres rumours it will cost 60$ someday btw

China has something to do with it too.

[@CiromBreeze]

Yeah, as someone who's a fan of PvE but not PvP, I've just been waiting for Fortnite Zombie Defence to release out of EAc (or whatever it's gonna be called, anyway)

[@JorohTV]

But the building mechanics and Third person only means it is basically a different game. I play my shooters in First Person - so fortnite is out already. Plus anyone who doesn't see that building mechanic as broken is crazy. Its a laugh on a console, and I see its merits... but it is not what pubg is aiming for. [I agree with some of Jareds comments, certainly all to do with optimization and server issues - just saying]

[@stevenn1940]

Joroh, it IS a different game. Beyond that, if you're that picky about the camera angle, then I just simply feel bad for you, because you're missing out on so many great, and classic, games. (this ignoring the fact that PUBG's main and original mode was third person) And do tell, how are the building mechanics broken? How is something that everyone can do, and is encouraged to do, broken?

The last one I had a blast with was AC4 Black Flag a few years ago.

[@treyedwards572]

PUBG is the best shittiest game I've played in a long while. Every match makes me want to keep playing a game that's like PUBG, but actually good. It's the best of this style of game I've played, but it's still just meh. It makes excited to see what else comes from this genre in the future.

I don't agree with the concept of judging a game based on it's community. That would make Undertale one of the worst games ever. I personally like the game myself and can understand why you wouldn't like it, but it's not a badly made game. If you're going to put it at number one, please make a compelling argument. It just seemed like you just really were tired of it popping up everywhere, trust me, I know how that is. You legit made me kinda angry cause I believe you can do better.

[@justinkroboth360]

Seriously, this. If you're gonna put a game as your #1 worst for a specific year just because you hate the fanbase and culture that has sprung up around it (while also, funnily enough, excusing all of his friends who happened to become part of that culture), you'd better go back and make sure Undertale, FNAF, Breath of the Wild [you know, because a review is important enough to DDoS and dox Jim Sterling over, apparently] and Dark Souls are the #1s for their respective years as well, because those cultures are questionable. I was very disappointed in him for this choice. He literally missed the entire point of the game and there were many, many others he could've chosen. This game had a purpose, a goal, and it accomplished exactly what it set out to do. Jirard is usually very milquetoast and when he finally breaks away from that a little bit, it's to trash a game that didn't deserve it.

[@chrisaynewfarm5860]

@@GKplus8 It's designed to be challenging, sure, but that's not because of its bad design, it's because the controls are difficult to learn. Sure, you can dislike the gameplay, but he makes no case for why its so bad other than that he thinks it isn't a game. I can dislike sports games but I wouldn't call them the worst games of the year, because I understand that I don't personally like the game. People played Undertale and FNAF, because of fan demand so that point is completely null. If you are going to criticize games based upon their community, at least be consistent with your critique. Also, you can't criticise a single player game based upon its fan reception, that's fucking dumb and if you think otherwise, I have serious concerns for humanity.

As someone who doesn't really get angry at Getting Over it, I understand your gripes. I mostly enjoyed the game for the story Bennett tells, his story of creating Getting Over It and why he made it was engaging and I would get upset with myself if I couldn't make it to where the next trigger was to get him talking about his time developing the game. That said, after two and a half hours and only making it to the cardboard boxes and steps, I was starting to get tuckered out. Getting Over It clearly is not trying to be a good game, Bennett is clear about that, but the built-in commentary tells a fascinating story that resonates to me as a currently burnt-out game dev. I'm scared of making games just to make them, especially with college debt looming overhead like a $90,000 vulture, it feels to me I need to hit it out of the park on day 1, or not show up at all, but Bennett's B-game has inspired me to put that all aside and make for the sake of making, which I think I want to do now more than ever.

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

This is a really weird list, even with the disclaimer. I can keep in mind that it is of course it is his personal list, but the reaonings behind things are not very desriptive or critical. #10 is a game he actually liked. #9 he said it just didn't interest him, even though he discussed all the very positive changes and improvements. He never stated anything that got on his nerves other than "It's Assassin's Creed". #7 was not based on the game, it was the player base. I understand you ned players to enjoy the game, but that isn't an issue with game design. It was just a game that came out at the wrong time. #3 was three games. So it's a top 13 worst games list? If he had given them their own spots, that would remove confusing additions like the #10 in which he actually liked. #1 was chosen because of people who played the game. That is such a strange thing to use as a reason to be the absolute worst game. Rick and Morty isn't a bad because their extreme fanbase is a bunch of nut jobs. He did mention gameplay, and if he had stuck with that as his main reason, I'd understand his point, but I find that letting other people effect how you feel about something to that degree, especially when it is a single player game that doesn't require to watch all those videos is strange. It's his video, and he has every right to make his video the way he feels he should, but for someone who makes a living of criticising if it is worth it for a person to put time into games, a lot of this came off as baseless bias. Still love the channel and what he does, but this was a weird one to me.

[@HHog]

In a way, this isn't so much a "Top 10 worst games of 2017" list, as more of a "Top 10 worst things about gaming in 2017".

[@carlbloke8797]

Travis Mackie no offense but it's clear you didn't really listen to the video if you can't realize why he has a problem with each of the games on the list

[@carlbloke8797]

HHog if he hates those games then he has every right to do so and these games in some form or fashion has a feature that ruins the overall experience making them bad or mediocre games.

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

No offense is taken because I did listen to the video. I even rewatched the specific numbers in question to make sure I didn't miss anything. I heard his problems with the games, but some of the reasoning was strange. Again, one of the games he said he straight up liked. For a personal top 10 worst, that seems strange. He also turned his #3 selection into three seperate games. So it isn't really a top 10. I'm not saying he is wrong for having his opinion, I just feel like his backing for hating games was either not very well described, or is a seperate thing that was not caused by the game developers or publishers like Getting Over It being about the fanbase. He has the right to hate it all he wants, and believe me there is enough to talk about with the controls issues, but his reasoning is the people who played it. 16:15 "The reason why it's on this list is not even the game itself that makes me hate it, it's the culture behind it". Heck, he even says he doesn't hate it for the difficult controls. I am aware if he hates these games, he has every right to do so. If there was a game everybody loved, and he wasn't so into it, that's totally fine. I just think he should have 1. judged the games on their own merit rather than other things that suround it, and 2. have actual critical reasoning behind issues with a game. "Its another Assassin's Creed" isn't a great argument when you also state how much they improved and built on the previous entries. It may be a personal distaste, but a "worst game of the year" contender? So no. I listened, and I get it. I see what he is saying, but the issue is that his reasonings don't explain very well how they are the absolute bottom of the barrel, the absolute shit shows, of the year. I feel like spreading out the number 3 spot games into other positions could have made this list better balanced, as those all had pretty good reasons for being there. In the end, it really isn't my list. I can't make him change it, I'm just trying to give constructve criticism on a list I feel could have been done better.

[@carlbloke8797]

Travis Mackie you got a point there for a top 10 worst list he did seem to sugarcoat most of it even Forces

[@finaldusk1821]

Getting Over It was weird for me too, it was an excellent game in ALL THE WRONG WAYS. Admittedly; beating it feels like an amazing achievement, and the concept of the 'secret room' that the creator wants to keep hidden from those who didn't beat the game themselves is excellent! HOWEVER; as Alex said back in Jirard's Saw episode: "As soon as we start praising bad games for being bad, we've already lost". This game's difficulty comes from horrendously and needlessly broken controls that are always at least partially out of the player's control, the landscape is unbelievably boring to look at, and the premise is inconceivably absurd (but not in a funny way). While Getting Over It's deliberately terrible design makes for an interesting philosophical message, it still doesn't change that fact that it is a REALLY BAD game!

[@bobbyferg9173]

Even the supposed “philosophical message” is really just something the creator wanted to do to make the game seem like it has meaning (in reality he is just saying some vague smart sounding things that justify wasting hours and money for a painful experience) and so he can stroke his ego at the same time.

[@JacobCMayer]

Bobby, it's parodying that type of thing with the messages. The creator is making fun of other creators stroking their own ego like that.
