What games did you hate from 2010?

-Alpha4843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

I'm just here to give you a flamesuit for putting GT5 (first) on that list.

*Hands flamesuit*

deadreckoning6664843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

Nothing wrong with that IMO. Maybe hes just not a driving sim fan. And..its just ONE opinion.

@HungryGoku- Half of Japan thinks Monster Hunter is "amazing"...but that doesn't mean the rest of the world has to think the same way. Whats amazing for one person doesn't have to be amazing for another...even though certain people on this site create the illusion that their opinions are written in stone.

@Alpha-Male22- Ur right. Because N4G is about 90% fanboy, sites very often include big hitters in their "Worst games of the year " segment to generate hits. And it works too. It won't take long to see this go up to 200 degrees and have a couple of blind fanboys defending their purchase...without realizing that this is only ONE man's opinion.

As far as GT5 being one of the WORST games of 2010...its not to be taken literally here. It was probably one of the worst for him personally because he may have expected more from the game.

-Alpha4843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

I can understand that he was disappointed, but I sincerely doubt it was one of the WORST games of 2010.

These articles include 1 or 2 big hitters for the sake of controversy. Let's face it, a list of 10 games nobody cares about or hasn't heard about wont generate anything past 5 comments, especially considering that this topic is constantly done to death every year end on N4G.

ikkeweer4843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

@dead, I don't mind fanboys, but I do mind fanboys calling everyone else fanboys. They're like the trolls we fight in the dungeons in games. Gotta love smacking them down.

Eyeco4843d ago

GT5, Medal of Honor, and K&L 2 (honestly play the game it was pretty decent) weren't bad,

R_aVe_N4843d ago

You have to be freaking kidding me.... All the shit games that came out last year and those were the ones you picked? I am not a racing fan and even I know it is a good game.

Gran Turismo 5
Dark Void
Kane and Lynch 2
Medal of Honor
Command & Conquer 4

For those who just don't want to give hits to the site.

TANUKI4843d ago

Not the worst game of 2010, but definitely my worst purchase of 2010 (MAFIA 2).

So bland that game...

jimbone794842d ago

I guess I can understand that, but shooting up the place with the Tommy gun just felt so satisfying to me.

Who cares Gt5 is amazing every one jaws drop when they look at it.

MGRogue20174843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

Medal of Honor was actually pretty good. I still play it.

Bathyj4843d ago

Just got the Redbull X2010.
If you dont like GT you obviously havent driven it.
And you thought the Formula cars were a rush, try doing 500kph in this thing.

wu-stix4843d ago

I can't beat the special event to get one because driving the car is insane. I did get one free when I got to B-spec level 35. It is now my B-spec car.

Bathyj4842d ago

Yeah, thats how I got it.

The challenge is so FKN hard, I did 2 laps in 3 minutes thinking I was pretty quick, but SV did it in just over 2. Bastard.

B-Spec mode is definitely the easiest way to get, although I'm about 400K away from buying one too.

mushroomwig4843d ago

How many games were released in 2010? He picked 5 for the list and GT5 had to be in there? Come on, the game may have been slightly disappointing to certain people, but in the top 5 of a worst games list? That's ridiculous.

Besides, Sony weren't building the hype nearly as much as certain internet users.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger887d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH6d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan6d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga52d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo52d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken52d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN52d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199251d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies52d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde51d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai52d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken52d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay51d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
