Worst Game of 2023 - Worst Year for Big Games Ever!

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Worst year ever for big games, my advice for 2024 is stop pre ordering, hit them in the wallet, watch streams and at least 2 or 3 reviews before you buy (as long as mine is one of them) be patient, give the game a few days before u buy, read the forums and see the user reviews, the big critics are mostly a bunch shills protecting their business, not wanting to ruffle the feathers of their PR contacts. Have a great new year and don't miss my GOTY vid on New Years Eve.

[@ares395]

People should have taken this advice 10 years ago. Big studios are just pushing the boundary to see how little they can do for the most profit. Pre orders are just straight us a scam. If you can wait for a game x years then you can wait a few days to see if it's shit or not. Pre orders are just conditioning people to be stupid with their money. Also my favorite kind of steam review: Game's buggy af and unfinished, give them a few years - Positive review. People get scammed to pay full price for half the game and then are happy to spread their chicks for these studios after...? I'll be honest, I don't know if I can blame these studios if people are this stupid. After all it's people that feed these scams. Maybe if the game is shit stop defending it just because you were dumb with your money that you can't recover now and start being angry that the studio shafted you instead. It's called Self-justification look it up on wikipedia and stop doing it ffs. This is why games are shit now, because people let them be shit.

[@jameswayton2340]

I remember the day when i did not fully realize how problematic pre ordering is. Sadly even a big part of the ''gaming community'' does not realize how big of a problem pre-ordering games is. Its a bit ridiculous. Take CD-project red for example, who spend 316 million on making cyberpunk.. of wich 142 million was spend on marketing the game. Yes.. they spend 142 million dollars on marketing their game so 8 million people would pre-order it. Imagine if pre-ordering a game was not a thing. They could take the 142 million dollars and invest another 18 months into the game to make what it was supposed to be at release, and it would have probably sold just as well just be everyone learning how good the game is. Look at how well valheim sold with zero marketing. Look at how wel Baldurgs gate 3 sold with very little marketing compared to cyberpunk. Its like me spending a lot of time and energy giving my future wife papers and asking her to sign it with her and my lawyer and hoping she will sign the contract in where it states she will have to be in a relationship with me for at least 10 years, instead of me taking that time and energy and investing it in myself and improving myself to be a better man so the relationship will be so good she will stay with me for the rest of my life anyway. Its just stupid as shit both from the sellers and buyers perspective.

Starfield is my worst game of the year because of the massive hype, Bethesda's lies, the doubling down on their hype and lies rather than accepting criticisms and any negative player feedback.

[@JonnyTenebrous]

"Minimum Viable Product". The core concept at the heart of the most pervasive software development business methodology in use today: "Agile" Development. They teach this cynical racket in universities and consultancy firms - it has its insidious little fingers in almost every development studio now. What is the *minimum* *viable* product they can sell you? Then they set a delivery deadline - before dev even begins. Anything that doesn't meet the timeline, anything that exceeds the minimum...gets cut. And not another ounce of effort is spent. That's "AAA" games.

[@AFpaleoCon]

To me redfall wins over gollum because gollum wasn’t nearly as pretentious and the studio basically came out saying we didn’t have the skill and we’re sorry. Redfall is still full priced, had the backing of Microsoft and Bethesda, and tried to make it look amazing before release as well as getting creators to talk about how great it was. Gollum it seemed like they released quietly.

[@gameburn178]

I think Diablo 4 wins, with Starfield a close second for worst game of the year. I put Diablo 4 ahead because price, reputation and pollution of a franchise we thought we valued really adds to something infamous.

[@jarigustafsson7620]

Look at the releases of 2005, how did we fall so hard ?

[@keithlol]

It seems like video games have reached their limitation as a medium. The idea and expectation for a thing to continue to improve and get better forever is unrealistic. Most new games are a copy, combination or improvement upon another game. You’ll never get back the feeling of your first FPS. Once you have played enough games, you have played them all. That’s why nobody gives a crap about the story anymore. Not that corporatism isn’t also to blame, the insidious leech that it is.

We just gonna casually ignore the entire console library that Mac never talks about too? Pc triple A was mediocre this year maybe, but there is more than just the usual suspects.. An ocean of cool indy titles for example or Nintendo that will ever keep innovating on gameplay. I own a switch, ps5 and a PC and I am never dissatisfied.. Can't even keep up with my own list of gems I want to play because there are just too damn much.

There's an interesting documentary about Gollum here on KZbin about what went wrong and why, but only in German. TLDR, the developers are not to blame.

Some of the developers weren't paid and tried everything what they could, but they knew from the start that it wouldn't work.

As usual you hit the nail right on the head Mack. I've seen so many people defending starfield and it's baffling. As someone who played nearly 70 agonizing hours of starfield just because people said that's what was needed to give it a chance. Starfield would have been outdated if it released in 2013 let alone 2023, it's not even close to immersive, and everything that made bethesda games special is long gone. Compelling story, interesting characters, immersive world, and good graphics. That's what's basically required for any modern RPG, and starfield fails miserably at every single aspect. Starfield, just like all the other games on this list is a disgrace to the entire industry, and every dev involved should be ashamed of themselves and heavily consider a new career. To my knowledge the only high budget / AAA title to release this year that was actually good was baldurs gate 3. Not a single other good title all year, shit's depressing. Thank god for larian and bg3. Starfield is so unbelievably disgraceful I'd call it a joke but that implies it was funny but no its just the industry is fucked.

It has to be Starfield because it's a big release with a legacy to live up to. Picking on bad games by inexperienced studios with limited budgets isn't fair.

Other games can win Worst Game of Indie and Worst Game of Small Studio.

I think Redfall, for the size of studio and budget behind it, has to be Worst of the year...even once it dropped there were devs from it c admitting they didn't wanna make it , couldn't wait to finish it, and even that they knew it sucked and was broken on release. To ne, Gollum was bad, but playable...Redfall wasn't even playable.
