I don't understand how Bioshock Infinite or MGS: The Phantom Pain got in the top 50. Those were both the most disappointing games of the 2010's.

They both suffered for similar reasons: All that hype leading up to their release. Audiences were shown one thing.....and then the final product completely cut content, significantly edited it, or lied to us entirely.

[SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES]

Bioshock Infinite: You do not have epic combo powers with Elizabeth like in that initial E3 trailer. They hype up Songbird like he's an even bigger and badder version of the Big Daddy that can motherfucking FLY now.....but you NEVER FIGHT HIM! Complete bullshit. And there are only THREE enemy types in the entire game. 90% of all the Vigors consist of you just throwing a glob of different colored energy at the enemies. The skyhook is a total joke, and often is just a circular rail above an enemy room. Everything about it was disappointing. And that twist ending? Saw it coming from a mile away. "Err mah gerd! YOU'RE Comstock!?! From another reality!? Whooaoaoaoaaaa." (eye roll). Terrible game. What kind of necklace will you choose for Elizabeth?!?! Don't worry, both decisions change absolutely nothing! LOL

Phantom Pain: You have to sit through several HOURS of credits before, during, and after every single mission. You cannot skip them. It is the most boring shit I've ever experienced in a game. The story is so convoluted, you will never understand the motives of Skullface even AFTER you've beaten it AND after you've read up on it online to try and make sense of WTF was going on. If that Native American guy says "Vocal cord parasites" one more time....I am going to roundhouse kick my television! Remember all the awesome boss battles that the MGS series is famous for? Yeah. They got rid of all of those. You only fight two actual bosses in the entire game. The rest are slightly stronger enemies, and you fight them multiple times. Some of the missions are also literal copies of one another. Strange how those kidnapped hostages are always located in the same places. Hmmm. Glitch? Oh?? What's that??? The cut the entire final mission that gives some resolution to what young Liquid Snake did with the stolen Metal Gear? Fascinating. Oh??? The entire game was a lie from the very first advertisement and you never actually play as Big Boss???? Well that's kinda fucking offensive.
