I knew No Man's Sky had to make it.

But Shenmue... I wouldn't quite have it on this list. I guess you mean it failed financially though. It sold a shit-ton of copies, but the budget was too ambitious to recoup. So it was technically a very successful title, but it couldn't break even.

cao:
Abeg, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was good-o. More like poor marketing, the same thing that killed Beyond Good & Evil. Those two games were one of my best bargain bin finds. Man, I remember being hyped for Too Human and abandoning it on my 360.

#7: KillZone



How to kill a franchise in the eyes of the public with just two words? Brand it the "Halo killer".
In reality, Guerrilla Games' brown n' grey shooter had about as much chance taking down the Halo of the early 2000s as a mouse's fart would knock Superman off course


It wasn't that gameplay was fundamentally broken or anything (aside from making you switch to grenades, anyway - something Halo had made a one-button thing), but everything about Killzone came with this weirdly glum, morose feel that actively discouraged you progressing any further.


Even the various ranks of the almost-iconic Helghast blurred into one after a few minutes, and when gameplay never extended out of the barest refinements on 'point at enemy, shoot enemy, reload, repeat' over four instalments, it was time to throw in the towel.


Thankfully, although it would take them over a decade to realise, Sony finally freed Guerrilla from putting out aggressively average FPS campaigns, letting them move onto Horizon Zero Dawn with much better results.

Go on, name one thing you like(d) about Killzone. I'll wait.

I understand why you might think Destiny  was a successful video game, Afterall Destiny 2 is the second best-selling game of 2017 , and it got largely positive reviews (overhyped reviews to be precise, probably paid reviews). The PC version was also considered a fantastic port, On paper, everything seemed perfect, but then reality hit: something is obviously wrong with the game. You dont believe huh? this link shows how financial analysts and gaming experts admitted  that  the game is struggling.


https://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-is-not-in-a-good-place-says-analyst-in-wake-of-microtransaction-concerns/


But that obviously isn't all. It's surprising how alot of so called "loyal" fans could have quickly turned their backs on the  game that was so popular just few months ago but(check their bungie's online community to see the utter disgust of users towards the game). I think I have an explanation though, the game has been criminally overhyped right from onset, it's good game, but it was overhyped.



You agree with me then that the micro transaction issues did not start with Destiny 1 which was still a commercial success. It had its bugs and issues just like any other game but the development team at the helms at the time were in tune with fans and YouTubers. Daily player numbers still peak and plummet after each DLC? It is still good going by the numbers but not up to Destiny 1.

It is your opinion that the game is overhyped however it is not ‘fact’ is my submission.

Destiny 2 is debatable and some of the criticism was just hoard mentality and I can agree it had high hopes with the improved game play and mechanics but the development team just let it flounder.

You failed to mention Call of Duty after BLOPs and Advanced Wayfare as overhyped duds?


 

LordReed:
At launch Destiny could have been considered subpar but by the Taken King expansion it was a different and much better game. I played the hell out of it, racking up 1700+hrs over 2yrs. I as I heard it there are still people playing it even though the sequel is out.

I have been a Destiny fan since day one. Never got to play the Raids in 1 which were a big deal with the mythoclast rewards celebrations Currently in Bad News Bear Clan and finished the Leviathan raid with them.

Enslaved was a crap game with a huge marketing budget.

They had multiple TV ads here in the UK, along with billboards and posters on busses.

I spent £50 on that game on release day and was sorely disappointed. CEX only offered me 32 quid for the game when I returned it that same week.

abiodunalasa:
What's with Nairaland and game this days

cao:

Well, I certainly didn't spend 50 quid, didn't actually see a single advert for it. Was pleasantly surprised when I got it from that bargain bin and enjoyed the hell out of it. Plus, I've got that XMB song forever stuck in my head.
