The Playstation Vita abandonment was DEPRESSING! The Vita was the handheld that many have been dreaming about for ages. For years, people wanted a console quality handheld in the palm of their hands. Sony should've stuck to their guns and supported the Vita with first party titles. Instead, they gave up way too quickly. Nintendo also had a rough first few years with the Nintendo3DS, but they didn't call quits. The first few years of ANY system will be tough, and Sony should've known better than to abandon it and call it a "legacy system." SHAME on you Sony. You ruined something great.

@@ichigokage True, but I don't think Fallout 76 is truly worthy of an AVGN review. Just because the game has a massively infamous reputation with tons of controversy and hate surrounding it (which it does rightfully deserve for the most part), that doesn't mean the game itself is the worst game ever made. It's pretty much the same thing as E.T. on Atari, which everybody said was the worst game of all time at one point (mainly because of its infamous reputation as it was partially responsible for causing the video game crash of 1983), but when the Nerd finally gave it an honest review, the game itself wasn't nearly as bad as everybody thought it was, and there are much worse games out there... Now in terms of overall quality and playability, Ride To Hell is on a WAY higher level of bad than Fallout 76! If the Nerd is gonna review another modern game (the first one he did was Life Of Black Tiger on PS4), then I think Ride To Hell is much more worthy of an AVGN review!

2010s Gaming in a Nutshell: 1. Too many games being delayed and coming out broken 2. Microtranscations and Loot Boxes caused so much a divide between gamers and developers 3. Games that were suppose to look like HD graphics came out looking downgraded 4. Triple A Games all wanted to be Open World and gamers complained about them being too similar. 5. Gaming Companies making promises and being called out for lying 6. Too many old games getting remasters and remakes 7. EA buying out so many developers causing most of the games they make to fail 8. Call of Duty is a yearly franchise and people got sick of it 9. Ubisoft became the most hated company because of the constant game crashes, graphical downgrades, and of course microtansactions. 10.

The "energy tank" only worked on your current life, so you couldn't save it during bosses when you memorized their pattern. The abilities from bosses were mostly not that useful.

Fallout 76 is terrible. No Man's Sky (despite improvements) was a disaster on release. Edit: Holy hell i check back hours later there's an argument going on calm down y'all opinions will be opinions

[@JeveGreen]

No Man's Sky was terrible, but got mostly fixed with its first major update. And several big updates later, it's a surprisingly good distraction, with plenty of adventure and RPG elements which coexist quite well. Bugs still exist last time I looked, but I never encountered anything game-breaking. And the best part? NMS never asked for a single dime more than their initial sales pitch. Every other "Early Access" game would have you shell out bits and pieces of your body for the full experience. NMS? Just play it at your own pace, you've already got it all. I don't regret buying that thing one bit! Fallout 76 was and forever IS terrible. And not just because it launched beyond broken, but because all hints points towards it remaining broken for years to come. With every little update comes a new problem, and a new price tag. Anyone who still believes in that piece of garbage after the Fallout 1st-thing is little more than a blind whale being milked for all their worth. Because even to this day, there are game-breaking bugs and insidious hackers, with a community culture that can only be described as hopeless. It wasn't worth its launch price, it wasn't worth its discount price, it wouldn't be fucking worth it if it was free! And unless a literal miracle happens, that's not about to change... Comparing NMS with FO76 is like comparing a reformed prisoner with Charles Manson. It's simply not fair.

[@PastelN01r]

@@JeveGreen i was making two separate comments with both games not intending to compare but I do however agree with you on the NMS has greatly improved since release while on the other hand, Fallout 76 just took a nose dive into oblivion

[@Axetwin]

If something is rotten at the core, it doesn't matter how much paint you put on it, it'll still be rotten. That's Andromeda in a nutshell.

[@JedForge]

It was the launch that was the major failure. Yes, it was much more tolerable after a few months of patching, but the damage was done by then. Furthermore, EA was very unprofessional in dealing with the justified criticism. When you make a mistake, own up to it and correct it. Now, if only Disney/Lucasfilm can learn that (yes, wishful thinking)

[@willhuey4891]

yeah i actually enjoyed andromeda though.

That people kept judging then on it (gamers and media alike) when it never actually happened days more about people than Microsoft, as they were the ones the reacted to fan feedback. It merits mentioning that DEM measures were something the entire industry was working on leading into this gen, and near universally walked away from due to that E3 conference.

From the video description: _"These were games, and or consoles, that cost their companies millions of dollars for their mistakes."_ Doesn't necessarily mean the Vita was a bad gaming console, but Sony lost millions supporting it. I think the number one mistake that Sony made with the Vita was the memory card. Restrictive and expensive as fuck.
