It's been a great year but damn some of the disappointments were real heavy hitters this year.

- Mass Effect Andromeda's embarrassing launch
- Visceral Games closure and Star Wars cancellation
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 lootbox scandal
- Single player games Prey, Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2 flopping
- Marvel vs Capcom Infinite roster and visuals
- Destiny 2 post-game content

I think those are the big ones but I'm sure I've missed a few.

Andromeda absolutely killing a franchise. Mass Effect is dead because of it.

Well think of it this way, it was presumed dead after 3 anyway.

I always wondered who wrote that line for the game, because a few years back, my 4 year old niece told my sister (her mother) that her face was happy.

Breath of the Wild, simply because it accomplished so much in terms of breadth, but I was hoping for a little more depth

Even in terms of exploration, it did away with the old Zelda style of hiding content in plain view and unlocking it with new items like the hookshot. We have a giant relatively empty map, but nothing like finding Iron Boots and immediately unlocking a new underwater world with hidden dungeons

These two are really just gamers over-reacting and forgetting how to use their words, honestly.

Then again, I don't really remember anything else that was such a downer this year, so I guess that is okay too.

I'm torn between Andromeda being a complete cluster fuck, Destiny 2 being a complete borefest and Battlefront 2 being a complete cluster fuck.

Wolfenstein 2 flopping

@Darmik

Still waiting on that source.


Damn bro it has been 8 minutes.

https://venturebeat.com/2017/11/16/wolfenstein-2-the-new-colossus-and-the-evil-within-2-sales/

Bethesda Softworks is one of the last remaining third-party publishers that is still dedicated to building lots of single-player games. In October, it released The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, and both didnt crack the top 10 best-selling games in the U.S., according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.

Wolfenstein 2 came in at 14, and The Evil Within 2 was 13th, in the list of best-selling games in the U.S. last month. Forza Motorsport 7, Gran Turismo Sport, and Grand Theft Auto V all finished higher (NPD does point out that racing-game sales are up 43 percent year-over-year).


Haven't you noticed that both of these games have received drastic price cuts already?

100% Andromeda, no contest. Biggest gaming disappointment of all time, not just the year. I wrote so many essays on why that game was such a disappointment.
