2010 was a good and bad year for sequels. Gamers had high hopes for Gran Turismo 5, Bioshock 2, Dead Rising 2, Fable III, Fallout New Vegas. Most of these games struggled to deliver the amazing experience that their predecessor set up. Whether it was from buggy game play, tacked on multiplayer or endless delays, these games lacked a wow factor
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.
Fable 3 was on the top of my list.
For me it was FF13 I was so excited when it first came out, but I found it so boring I'am yet to finish it even though I hear the ending is awesome.
Oh and Black Ops, it was the game I was most looking foward to and... Well the rest is obvious.
Biggest surprise:Heavy Rain I had so little hope for that game that I rented it. I've rented it 4 times already and plan to do once more :]
Fable 3 was pretty mediocre for me. Crackdown 2 was just awful.
disappointments of 2010
bioshock 2 and final fantasy 13
the first bioshock is my favorite game of this generation but the sequel wasnt really an improvement over the first one
final fantasy 13 well the game was too linear and didnt like the battle system
Crackdown 2, I had forgotten about that wonderful game
