IGN - In medieval times, dangerous and unexplored areas of the sea were marked on maps with drawings of sea monsters and the words, “Here be dragons,” so as to be avoided. Well, Raven’s Cry is lousy with dragons. The first time I booted it up, it crashed. The second time, another crash. On the third, I was finally able to begin my adventure as the hook-handed pirate Captain Christopher Raven, but that shaky beginning was a pretty clear sign of things to come. In fact, it’s a fitting analogy for Raven’s Cry itself: its naval combat delivers high-seas adventure, but it never finds its land legs. Ultimately, my voyage through the main quest was sunk by a game-stopping bug, but I don’t feel like I missed out by not being able to finish the story.
So it’s that time of the year again. The time to condense a year of bubbling sh*tclusters into a digestible list of ten thoroughbred sh*thorses.
Disappointed to see Arkham Knight on here. It doesn't belong on a list like this.
It's easily one of the best games of the year and tied for me with the Witcher. The series as a whole is one of the best in gaming and arkham knight brilliantly capped off a brilliant trilogy.
Arkham Knight was one of the most disappointing games of the year.
All the boss fights are replaced for crap tank battle. Come On, they could have done better and lets not talk about the $hitty 50$ season pass.
I don't agree overall. The tank battles were a bit too much but it was a huge game and driving the batmobile never got old.
I think I must have completed it 6 times. Couldn't get enough of it. The whole thing had quality running through it
I agree dark ocelot, still haven't finished it once yet and I loved the first 2, didn't play origins as it came out right when the new consoles came out
@Aeery
Happy New Year :)
And Happy New Year to everyone at N4G, may you have a great year :)
@DarkOcelet
Agreed. one hundred percent.
I bought the game and witnessed first hand the terribly port on PC, and once I got it up and running with a newer graphics card, it ran okay, for the most part.
But then I was left with the actual "gameplay" to become annoyed with.
No boss battles, a batmobile that controlled Tomb Raider on PS1, and tank battles that became instantly irritating and repetitive the 5th time you've played them.
beyond the batmobile, and those aforementioned battles, what else is there is to say? the campaign was instantly forgettable, and with the side missions were terrible, with one or two exceptions.
Riddler Trophies proved to be overwhelming in quantity, and the effort in getting each and every one amounted to nothing but busywork.
The game certainly doesn't deserve to be on the "top ten shi**est games" list. But one that describes one of the most disappointing sequels in recent memory. It did nothing for the franchise, and only made things work with the use of the batmobile.
And don't even get me started on the DLC, and the 30 minutes of play you get from each "episode"...
Happy New Year to all!
Did you watch the video? He's referring to the PC version which absolutely deserves to be on this list.
The parts of the game that didn't use the Batmobile were very good and a solid 9/10. The parts that used the Batmobile were abominable and ruined the game *to me* and that part was maybe a 2/10.
The game was also a complete TRAVESTY AT LAUNCH ON PC, which has to be taken into consideration.
IMO, the game on PS4 was a 6/10 because of how awful the Batmobile was, but taking into consideration the PC, it is more like a 4 or 5.
The fact that you HAD to unlock and solve all those stupid Riddler puzzles just to see the true ending is what made AK one of the worst of 2015 for me. 150 freaking puzzles, plus $50 for cosmetic DLC packs and tedious challenges. Forgot that, brought it back to gamestop, and got half my money back.
I dont get the craze over autistic people on the internet.
Stop making stupid people famous.
Order 1886. Good play through. Good story great graphics. Average or below everywhere else
I enjoyed having the most diluted boss battles in Arkham Knight
/s
pc version belongs on this list but the game itself is pretty bland.
and where is that screenshot in the actual game along with some other stuff they showed and told us about???
On one hand, The Witcher 3, MGS V and Fallout 4, on the other… these absolute stinkers.
The Order a stinker? Lol
GOTY contender more like it.
Go find something to hate on that actually deserves it, lol
There are far better pirate games available for less money that won’t freeze multiple times per play session.
That's what you get for not having ads in the right sites.
This games been delayed so many times, for the past two years, im surprised they didnt just cancel it.
Wow, I know reviews have been questionable lately, but this must be pretty crappy to get a 3
AC4 is the best pirate game of all time.
Still better than AC Unity.
