TOP 5 - Most Disappointing Racing Games 😡

[@Kristjan687]

fun fact: the most wanted 2012 was originally going be a sequel to most wanted 2005, but EA being EA, they forced Criterion to create something completely different, making this disappointment of a game we got.

[@NateSakana]

and by completely different, they mean a burnout paradise clone I guess……

[@vasudashenoy5199]

Yeah since most wanted came The next few games like carbon , hot pursuit , underground were amazing but after that it went completely downhill so deep that even till today they couldn't come up

[@j.marston]

Carbon is technically a sequel to Most Wanted 2005.

[@Housesider]

I still enjoyed MW12 a ton, but even a fan like me could see it was clearly not truly finished, there is a lot in the game that just feels really bare and undercooked, like the car hot-swapping feature, which feels like it was added on late in development, and how events are tied to specific cars rather than just letting you do what you want. I think dataminers also found a lot of evidence that points to Criterion wanting to expand the map more than just the airport, but naturally they weren't allowed to thanks to EA, which is the exact same thing that happened with Burnout Paradise.

Also the fact that, even we all know the AI on the Grid games is fucking awesome because it feels very human, in Grid 2019 I had the feeling that the AI was way too slow...even on very hard difficulty you can always pull few seconds of lead very easily...also, even tho I have full damage activated, after 30 hours I haven't had a single mechanical damage yet, despite having crashed millions of times.... As Viperconcept said, a huge waste opportunity of potential...the base is there, the physics are fun as ever, the sounds, the graphics...all is awesome and there already...pity they messed it so badly

[@matthewwong1326]

@@JB22. I think by adding the standard cars, the increased variety of the car list most certainly made the game better. I would rather have 1000 cars than less than 200 like most sim racing games do nowadays. It's just as viperconcept pointed out, they delayed the game for so many years and they gave us cars with these kinds of quality was quite simply dissapointing to most gran turismo fans. The quality of the premium cars was just proof of how good it can be but isn't. But since I only knew of it after it was released so I never cared about that aspect.

[@blaksoul889]

Ok so here is the thing about the damage system, it literally was not ment to exist the real damage was done internally (effects how cars turn,engine blowing ,ect.) They even made a choice weather they wanted to sacrifice beauty of the cars or place it in there. Obviously they chose to put damage in. Gt5 was one of my favorite games. Also I understand about the standard and premium cars, the standard cars were the used car but you literally can get that same car in the dealership it just cost more

[@KevinAbillGaming]

I bought GRID 2019 on Steam, and I simply regret it. Lacking race modes, unlike the previous installments like GRID 2 and Autosport, which makes it so repetitive. Why they removed drifting and endurance races that was used in the previous installments?! They were good race modes, and provide more challenge than just two race types, normal racing and time attack. The only thing good in it is the Renault R26 by Alonso (well, because I'm an F1 fan myself).

[@GolovaPomidor]

The only good drift was in grid 2 because the physics stay same all the time. On grid one and autosport was drift mode and shitty drift physics . In grid 2019 u can drift either ,but not on every and each car.

[@AmmyWulf]

I also bought it recently and tbh yea I agree, but it was a hard bet on whether I choose Yakuza 0, Project Cars 2 or GRID and honestly I just feel stupid for choosing the least enjoyable option

[@LoongYawLee73]

I gave GRID 2019 a try... and it was okay, I guess (mind you, I got the Ultimate edition of the game for about $3.50). By about 5 hours or so, I feel wanting to just finish the game already. Maybe it's just because I set an easier difficulty, but the game doesn't seem to make me feel engaged. But I knew that all you do is just a loop of "get car, race, get money, race, finish discipline..." and so on. Probably that's what made it the weakest entry in the GRID series by far (unless GRID Legends ended up much worse). For a steal, it was decent, but I honestly wanted more.

[@KevinAbillGaming]

Another issue with Project Cars 3 is that devs hyped it to death as being an extremely reallistic sim-racing cars, and everybody who played PC2 knew it had several issues, so one expected an awesome game like PC2 but with a better physics, and then we got a not bad at all game, but one that didn't satisfied the hype and expectations by a huuuuuge margin

[@NickTronic96]

As someone who loved and played a lot of PC2, I was excited that PC3 will solve the physics issues and be a proper sim. I almost pre-ordered but then the trailer dropped and people noticed weird things like blocked off pits etc. Huge mistake to create an arcade game and sell it as a sequel.

The most disappointing ones are usually the one which deviate from their genre like PC3 which unexpectedly became sim arcade.

Even though Gran Turismo 5 may be disappointing to some, it will forever be my favorite Gran Turismo in the series. The game was my childhood and I have some many good memories on it. Loved the video anyways because all of your reasoning was backed up with real facts and experience.

[@JB22.]

I’m still surprised that people find gt5 as disappointing as it is. Literally my favourite racing game ever released. I also liked the standard cars. Not that they were bad quality but the fact that it allowed so many cars to be in the game over 1000 and when you finally get a higher end car it feels incredibly rewarding. My lis of most disappointing racing games are: 1: project cars 3, tried to market itself as still a sim despite clearly not being one and just abused the series’ name. 2: dirt 5, the game literally didn’t have rally in it! Dirt 4 was on the more sim side of simcade imo, despite what some say, but dirt 5 was a completely generic arcade 3:f1 2021, it removed a lot of features from 2020 and despite having improved lighting, the reflections were better on 2018. 4: gran turismo 6, massively cut back campaign and the fact you could buy any car you wanted limited how long you wanted to invest into the game and progress 5: gran turismo sport, despite being a very good game, at launch it was very disappointing to have literally no campaign in the game and after gran turismo 5 being the last game to have a proper campaign it was disappointing

[@Blueflag04]

Codemasters have REALLY ruined their reputation lately, and being acquired by EA will most certainly not help them recover. It's a shame, they used to be such a good team.

I do regret buying it. It was supposed to be a modern version of underground (or UG2), and they gave quite some customization options, but the game felt very unfinished for the pc release. It was literally a console port (no mouse pointer on screen, like dude come on) and the night time only just made things badly visible for me. The story is very forced and bland, despite the effort they put in it. And personally, I hate the brake to drift system that they have since NFS HP2010 or perhaps earlier. That gameplay felt even worse than its predecessors.

So when Grid 2019 came out, I bought it, played it for the first hours and it was really fun in my opinion, but it started to get repetitive, so I tried multiplayer, but lobbies were basically empty... and then I never touched it again. Don't get me wrong, it does have some very strong points, like immersion, because of great sound design, attention to detail and amazing, human-like AI. What I didn't like other than it being repetitive was the physics, which were ok, but they were pretty unpredictable; like you would spin out for no reason, and you had to feather the throttle way too carefully for a controller. The damage system was great visually, but didn't do almost anything mechanically. I hope Grid Legends ends up better

GT5 made me more into a car person after I got it, I learned so much from it, whether it be tuning, internal parts, upgrades, all the different car brands, the race tracks, etc. For a kid that really didn't have that much knowledge about videogames, GT5 was a whole new world for me. On my first time behind the wheel, my thoughts were "just think of it as a video game, just like GT5" and it was like second nature to me. I remember I wasn't able to complete the 24h races cause the power would go out at a certain time in the afternoon and we had no electricity during that time.

I still enjoy the game since it’s pretty much like a spiritual Motorstorm game with the people who made it but I can see why longtime fans wouldn’t be enamored by it.

[@nitrous2807]

I completely did not mind that the gt5 models were graphically transferred from ps2. I prefer these models to look the same as the newly introduced cars but to be in the game. if their physics are well done, I am able to let go of the graphics. It hurt more that there were over 1000 cars in GT5, over 1200 in GT6 and in GT Sport ... 300? 400? not enough . I liked the fact that in gt6 we had a dozen or so versions of the same model. it was great because racing with the same model did not always mean the same result at the finish line.

[@mehmett.bakkal8257]

I actually think gt5 damage model was quite impressive for their first try. Other gt games barely have any damage model other than textures. Gt5 had independent body deformation (which is really important imo), panel seperation and textural damage.

[@dekoldrick]

The issue with damage is not much on the developers and is the people who they license the cars from sometime have issues with depictions of their cars getting mangled in racing games. They think virtual depictions of their cars getting wrecked to pieces will hurt sales for some reason which is not true.

[@LorenzoPiaggio]

Personal opinion but GT5 should have been an honorable mention and GT6 as number 1

[@72vaan]

tbh, gran turismo 5 is by far the worst, i don't understand how people complain that gt6 is bad because it's too similar to gt5, at least its improved, the races in gt5 are repetitive, boring, the prizes aren't worth your time, the rally is absolute garbage, how can you complain about gt6 for at least trying to improve the dumpster fire that was 5?

[@11NetNet11]

I really like the content of this video, it lets me look once again at a good racing game and see how much they have a disappointing side. And with all due respect to disappointing racing games, sometimes there are also surprising racing games. Maybe if you want, you can make a video of the most surprising racing games...

[@GarkKahn]

I think f1 2014 and 2015 deserves to be there more than 2021

[@xNeo64]

Really? I didn't know anyone was disappointed with GT5

[@gabrieleserini895]

I love Gran Turismo 5. Yes I may have been 4 years old but I thought that games then couldn't get better.

[@LukeCannotSkate]

GT5 is my most played game of all time and it will probably stay there forever. I have spent at least 5000h on it

Damn. From 5 to 2 it's the last 4 games i have played recently to check them :X

i Loved GT5 idk it just had that gran tusimo feel to it and that was enough for me especially loved the engine modifications but ye the standard cars kinda sucked

[@codyC423]

I'm glad you're speaking in your videos now. It makes them way better

[@InfinityUSEA]

GT5/6 was amazing, and NFSMW2012

[@PWarren4]

I believe you have number 5 and number 1 inverted - After playing Forza and Forza Horizon and especially Gran Turismo (Sport), I tried GRID 2019 and the game is unplayable to me. The physics are so horrid I was not able to complete a race. An instant uninstall for me. Actually, I have had a similar experience with all the Codemasters games, including F1

[@papapapa16]

Let's face it, day 1 GT5 was horrendous, even the shadows looked jagged. It got a lot of updates to have some features of GT6.

[@seafirefr.4751]

I love that Driver: Parallel Lines reference in your intro, the nostalgia. 🤣 It brings back memories of my childhood.

[@sajiajsi]

Personally i'm a big fan of need for speed series (i love every ps2 chapter and ps1 too) perhaps i loved MW2012 too, epic soundtracks and high speed all the time, it's just different but well done imh

[@drift_works]

The fact Is, i love mw 2012 and im playing grid 19, for arcade game, its Gold for me

[@andres24x]

Totally agree with you buddy especially with GT5, its not a perfect game but is a good game, a fun game for sometimes, for me GT5 was a top game that i recently rebought it this year just to enjoy the car brand catalog, unlike GT Sport, GT5 has the enormous car list ever, but i do hope GT7 can bring back lots and lots cars next year, and Pikes Peak challenge alonside of the Suzuki Escudo.

[@bruce_wayne1478]

Started with gt3 and stopped at gt5, gt5 was a really good game imo it was a lot of fun and I did everything in this game got all cars completed all races it was just a grinders dream

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

I wish I could have played Gran Turismo 5 more but I couldn't because of crippling visual bugs. Every time I played, the visuals would cut out for like a second or two. I could still hear the in-game sounds but it was still not a pleasant experience. It was not because of my TV or PS3, I tested with other games and they all worked fine. So I have no idea what was wrong with the game, nor did I care to dig further. I simply stopped playing GT5 and have never played it for nearly 11 years. Also, as an aside, I am quite anxious with GRID Legends coming soon. They very instant I saw the trailer, my immediate thought was, "So that's where all those missing cars from past GRIDs went."

[@Monacomaverick]

I have most of those games - some of which I haven't even opened yet for some reason. I do think GT6 should have been released on PS4, but what we got was certainly not a disappointment to me. It saved me from having to buy a PS4!

[@JustinVenessasknownasKurt]

I don't understand why it's GT5 not GT Sport which is on here. GT5 may have been not exactly what it was hyped up to be, but come on. GT Sport all but removed tuning and has even after years of Sony attempting to fix it, a horrible list of cars and career mode. Don't even mention how bad the sound track is ontop of the lack of classic tracks we all knew and loved. About the only positive things about it are the visuals/sound and the lobby refinement.

[@nismo97]

I agree with all of these points but I also feel like GRID 2019's story didn't just end at the game being boring. The physics was a big issue for me even coming from the three previous games. The physics in GRID 2019 just isn't good. Brakes feels strange with ABS (not a thing in previous games), the tyre/traction model is super awkward, all cars have massive understeer or get one-wheel peels like old muscle cars, and the thing that made me put this game in the hidden list was how you can flip an F1 car by clipping the curbs on Silverstone, unless... You turn stability control on. Stability control on level 1 or 2 and this basically allows you to drive the car like you're playing NFS and you get no speed penalty for doing it. You can just powerslide everywhere, cut the tall curbs, etc, without the car even complaining a bit. If you go to 0 the cars are extremely sketchy to drive, they just make no sense, it's not sim nor arcade, it's just pain. Going over 2 will give you a huge speed penalty which should be how SC works. This game also introduced leveled assists which is awful. The only assist that should have levels is TC. SC or ABS should be either On or Off.

[@skylinetv2778]

Remember that old joke video, where Kaz is talking "Here we are recording car sounds for the game", and in the next shot there is picture of vaccum cleaner shop, lol

[@panozboi8133]

I love NFS MW’12 (my first NFS game) but I do understand the hate but it’s too hated, GT5 is some of my nostalgic favourites yet and my second GT game along with GT6 my favourite of the ps3 GT games but so many games are diamonds in the rough

[@Vocas46LP]

i hope, you will do a video with positive surpricing games aswell :) and as usual, great video

[@joespeed1952]

For me, GRID 2 is simply THE best game in the GRID series. Real Racing, sure it was arcade style racing, but I loved it.

[@fanaticofmetal]

GRID 2 is the best of the series, the sounds(I mean all the GRID saga has perfect sounds) but this game was perfect, it looked perfect too and still does today, it was fun af. One of the best games I've ever played in the PS3, wish Codemasters would have this focus too on F1 games too

[@thejonatan._]

I bought V-Rally 4 on Switch 2 years ago from just randomly finding it on a Gamestop shelf, and I can say that it was a good time. All I had was a Switch back then, and I have like 40 hours on it or something (most of those are just from restarting rally events). I do like the variety of race types in V-Rally 4, I feel like I am the best at Hillclimb. I have only seen Rally and Rallycross events in Dirt Rally 2.0, so I might still go back to V-Rally 4 (on Switch) to do some Hillclimb, Gymkhana, and Buggy races. I think V-Rally 4 is an OK game, I have a personal connection with it, having spent so much time playing it.

[@martinapauline4625]

The most disappointing for me is nfs most wanted 2012, the least is gt 6

[@Taperboost23]

Let's not forget about the endless loading that Gran Turismo 5 had, despite the fact that you could install the game on the Hard Disk

[@zacariascisneros6399]

TBH I really enjoyed NFS 2012 and Gran Turismo 6. Yes, those weren't the BEST racing games ever, but compared to another games which I played (especially GT5), both were really good. And are two of my favs of all time (with Real Racing 3 also) Gran Turismo 5 by far, is one of the most disappointing games I've played EVER (alongside Dead Space 3). Just like DS3, the game was fun, and had some really good features. But the overall experience wasn't that grateful for some reasons. I'm not going to add anything more than what's exposed in the video P.S: there's a mistake in the minute 11:11 .The PS4 didn't even had A MONTH when GT6 released. PS4 was released on November 23, and GT6 December 6. Both on 2013

[@haluyolo7568]

MW 2012 is a great game no doubt. But the only disappointing thing about it is they use the name "Most Wanted" as we know the original 2005 Most Wanted have cars customisation and the best part of it is the "drama impact" from the storyline. I bet if back in 2012 they didn't use the name "Most Wanted" for it, surely it'll be a legendary tier nfs too because the game is just pure beautiful for the graphics and the gameplay is really enjoyable

[@zacariascisneros6399]

@@haluyolo7568 I kinda agree. The only problem with all the disappointment around NFS 2012, is that the original Most Wanted (for me at least) it isn't the big deal. Probably I don't like MW2005 now JUST because I'm older. Because as a kid, I liked this game a lot, more than Gran Turismo 4. The "Fast and Furious" style feels so old-fashioned to me nowdays

[@haluyolo7568]

@@zacariascisneros6399 yup same. Even for old nfs I now prefer Shift 2 or UG2. Underground 2 definitely have that FnF vibe but I don't go that way, I prefer "downhill touge" looking build and I tune and customise my car that way. I also used to like FnF a lot as a child. But then I stumbled across Initial D, and now I felt like FnF is some kind of "bs" in terms of cars. But other than that I still respect it since it is one of reason bring me into the world of cars and tuning. But when I want to seek for something that's satisfied my knowledge improvement, I will never look FnF the same anymore

[@SockyNoob]

Only thing that's better about GT5 is the inclusion of proper endurance races.

[@martinantelo7086]

The worst aspect of GT5 weren't the premium/standards cars or graphics, but the excruciatingly long download and installation times for patches, which essentially rendered your PS3 useless and also the TERRIBLE UI, so slow and clunky for even the most basic stuff that it totally drained any wish to play.

[@dan_byham265]

[@manat31790]

You CAN make the 'full simulator' racing game fun for the mass market. Project CARS 2 itself excels at being great at both since you can customize cars realistically AND compete in an engaging career mode. KartKraft and Automobilista 2 are both aiming for the same goal. Outside racing games, other 'simulators' also aim for both realism and entertainment for years. The most notable are football and baseball games. Konami has been made baseball simulators with the cutesy art style and varying story modes since 1996. Nobody says that a simulator has always had to be a boring session where you spend most of your time navigating complex UI with dull music in the background.

F1 2020: great game, a good improving on the fisics, schumi cars, new My team feature, a more agressive ai. Ea buys codemaster. F1 2021: same as the 2020 but worst, no classic cars and a shit history mode.

The attention to detail GT5 had in 2010 was and maybe still is very impressive compared to some of the newer games. GT5 and F1 2017 have a gap of 7 years, one console and GT5 still looked better imo

For me, I'll take Gran Turismo 6 over Gran turismo 7 any time just because Western Incompetent Sony decide to make it an online-only racing sim game and RTX on garages and replays. Also I'll take Need for Speed: Rvials on the PS3 than NFS: Most Wanted 2012. :D

although it isn't a proper "racing" game, just because it's for mobile, you forgot about Asphalt 9. Moreover, the fact that the 8th Asphalt became so pay-to-win soon later the release of the new one made both the two games even worse... too bad, Gameloft!
