@dipset said in Disappointment of the Year:

and so many other fucked up problems I've encountered

Yeah it hasn't been that terrible for me, with it mostly being the standard Bethesda level bugs like npc doing weird thing clipping etc but not much crashing or quest breaking things though it is bad enough to ruin some story moments hence I've put in 60 hours and am still pretty early in act 2(waiting for that Jan patch)

I more so ment in my comparison that 76(no npcs, the online) and anthem(basically no content) have fundemental flaws that basically tank their games though 76 was similar to worse with bugs depending on the platform.

The console performance Personally reminds me alot of the ps3 version of fallout 3 and NV espically I remember In 3 you could look a certain direction in the the dlc and crash the game every time and NV had basically hourly crashes.

I enjoy cyberpunk enough but it's in the same realm as fallout 4 and dragon age 3, it's just missing something/alot of things but is by no means a 76 or anthem.

I'm a cautious optimus about most things so the only game that really dropped the ball that I was not expecting was watch dogs:legion this was the most interested I've been a ubisoft game for years and upon seeing the game at launch I quickly realised how bland it was.

I really hope beyond good and evil 2 is at least interesting or unique that's all I want from ubi at this point.

PSA....dragon age origins... PSA OVER.

Thought this was a pretty bad year for me since this was at a time when I didn't really buy myself games, but there are a surprising amount of some of my faves games hidden in there.

Abby was actually my favorite character in the game, I really started to dislike Ellie and frankly most of the supporting characters.

The emotional manipulation in particular annoyed me, personally playing game I killed every dog first before clearing out the people and then they want to make me feel sad for this one dog you killed earlier, same with the pregnant women but who got in there situations from frankly stupid decisions, not too mention by that point Ellie has stabbed her way through half of seattle.

Might as well jump on the TLOU2 train.

TLOU2 has the best gameplay of modern naughty dog games but is worse than 1 in almost every other way(excluding technical aspects of coirse) the settle setting in particular gets stale and lacks the variety of 1

Jedi fallen order Is very mediocre and frankly seems rushed

Horizon zero dawn and zelda:BOTW have the same issue of making the open world annoying/resource draining to traverse and as such paces out some rather good story aspects way too much...

And lastly racthet and clank:going comando is a 10.

Far cry 2 is great(except malaria)

Alot of obvious ones mentioned (as a r and c fan) and 100% recommend motorstorm pacific rift. appocylypse was pretty meh personally and something about the game makes it hard to even see whats happening from memory alot of brown blurring.
A weird one ninja gaiden sigma, basically the special edition of ninja gaiden Black from the xbox great game and brutal(also holds up very well since its basically a HD port so it looks alot cleaner than other early gen games. ) .

TLOU (replaced by 2) is one of my fave naughty dog games but I've never been a fan of the modern ND gameplay and I think the stealth focus really helps alleviate that. It's easily my fave ND story easily over 2 but I just enjoy the gameplay so much more in the sequal.

Happy too see it even if I didn't give it a vote funny that it's only 1 point higher than GOW.
