most gamers can see a bad game coming
from a mile away
but it’s the ones that failed to live up
to their potential that often hurt the
most welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top ten disappointing video games of
2016 as if this year wasn’t bad enough
the games on this list are responsible
for giving us false hopes on what turned
out to be mediocre games and a whole lot
of new to be clear most of these games
are not terrible some of them are
actually a lot of fun and can be quite
enjoyable it’s just that they failed to
live up to the potential that they
seemed to promise before launch also for
those of you who are expecting
Federation force or infinite warfare to
be on here we would have actually needed
to be excited about those games to be
disappointed burn number 10 wreak or
finer frames
starting development in 2014 recore was
one of the most interesting titles
revealed at e3 2015
especially with former retro studios
devs behind the concept will have to do
this the hard way however don’t kind of
odd that the game wasn’t talked about
much shortly after even barely getting a
mention at e3 2016 this whole planets
gone crazy
so in recore puzzles were to be revolved
around utilizing a single core to
manifest various robots in order to
solve puzzles that explore the world but
therein puzzles were basic and
uninteresting and the fetch quests
turned the game into an absolute snooze
fest in the end it was another
interesting concept that basically went
nowhere come on Mac I got you fixed up
when we both need to fix that pylon
number 9
The Last Guardian
first of all let us say that this game
has a very touching story and a
beautiful soundtrack that is all certain
unfortunately a series of technical
issues hold the game back from reaching
its potential first off the camera is
quite honestly one of the worst we’ve
seen this console generation second for
a game that was designed for the ps3 it
struggles to maintain its frame rate on
the ps4 but worst of all is treecko’s AI
during our play session there were
points when he would go in the exact
opposite direction to where we were
saying causing constant frustration and
honestly it’s hard to feel emotionally
invested in the companion when said
companion acts like a complete dunce
[Music]
number eight mafia three in recent years
we’ve gotten to take a glimpse into the
past with games like Assassin’s Creed
and LA noire while those games have
taken us to ancient Rome and 1950s
America respectively mafia 3 looked to
shed light on segregation in the 1960s
and with a setting that mimics New
Orleans that sounded like a great change
of venue for the genre
but despite a strong narrative on such
dark subject matter the gameplay could
not have been any more lackluster you
know while those criticisms people have
levied against open-world games these
days
well mafia 3 unfortunately picks off all
the boxes number 7 Star Ocean integrity
and faithlessness enemy fruits incoming
from the West
a popular belief that’s been floating
around the internet is that weird is the
new good we wish we could say that about
this entry in the Star Ocean series shut
the hell up you shoes idiot wheelchair
unlink about this sport a franchise
known for being bizarre with exceptional
gameplay integrity and faithlessness
came out with not just a bad title but
enough substance to disappoint its fans
focus immunity characters were empty
today any personality and the story is
so straightforward that nothing
groundbreaking or interesting ever even
happens if we weren’t on this mission
I’d love to have a more leisurely look
around not even the hardcore JRPG fans
would recommend this one well at least
that explains the whole faithlessness
bit I hope you know I’m coming along huh
number 6 Street Fighter 5
talk about no pack to your punch as one
of the second fighting game Giants to
step on to current gen consoles Street
Fighter 5 was to be another entry in the
long-running very successful franchise
what we got however was an empty game
that asked us to constantly be online no
matter what part of the game we even
wanted to play also it shipped with no
tournament mode no tournament mode entry
over what the hell were they thinking
now why don’t you tell me where to go
here hey at least they included lots of
DLC yes I’m too young I can’t
[Music]
number five Tom Clancy’s the division
Isaac can intercept transmissions from
locations on the map so you can get a
little more in telling what you’re
getting into everyone gather around the
laptop as we tell you the tale of how
this game hyped us up only to fail we
have a job to do we’re still gonna do it
the latest game in the revered Tom
Clancy franchise was to be just as every
other Tom Clancy game thrilling engaging
and intense yeah those are at the bottom
of the list to describe this game
can we just say fractured fatiguing and
holy this is boring
much like destiny before it the pretty
setting in division gave way to what
many considered to be a very tedious
grind that and the aforementioned
setting was just not a good fit for the
genre a dude in a hoodie should not be
that hard to kill number four Star Fox
zero
dear Nintendo we get it you had a Golden
Age the first trailer of Star Fox zero
made it look so promising too not only
did it look like a true and brand-new
Star Fox game he was building off what
was left behind from the cancelled Star
Fox 2 but Nintendo just had to go and
ruin the ride with innovative controls
the control schemes were so out of whack
with the bad camera transitions that
playing this game alone is very
frustrating word of advice bring a
friend for the campaign to split the
duties of gunner and pilot
number three battleborn power-play only
two hostiles remain watching this game’s
release was like watching Mike Tyson
punched somebody not once but like ten
times without hesitation
while blizzards overwatch released at
about the same time to case battleborn
featured an equally diverse cast of
characters from a row bike Butler with a
sniper rifle to a mushroom ninja healer
however in an effort to support both
multiplayer and a single-player audience
and get the game out in time before
overwatch this title provided very
little content and missions felt really
dragged out at times to make matters
worse the game introduced
microtransactions a few months later to
try to make some more revenue it’s too
late to Kay battleborn is dead
number two mighty number 9 sana sana are
you still there have the robots torn you
to pieces
these days everyone wants a spiritual
successor to their favorite game who had
no hope of being revived ukelele came
from banjo-kazooie blood-stained from
Castlevania and mighty number 9 well
this sure isn’t from Megaman I want to
begin my analysis and see if I can
isolate the root of the malfunction
Keiji Inafune a made mega promise on his
Kickstarter and gave new delivery yeah
he belted out a product but it wasn’t
the one we were told we’d be given Omega
cooked in a while but then with I says
nothing with us before the game boasted
amazing 2d visuals and a mega beautiful
art style skip ahead several delays and
mega marketing mishaps later and it
changes to a 3d plastic toy look with
Mega Man 8 levels of that voice acting
repetitive bad gameplay and a very try
hard trailer that insulted its fanbase
what a mega mess stuff that’ll make you
faster and stronger and make the bad
guys cry like an anime fan on prom night
[Music]
before we get to our most disappointing
pic here a few dishonorable mentions
[Music]
number one no man’s sky

life first there was a flood at hello
games his office destroying a lot of the
work then we were given vague details on
what exactly the game is all the way to
launch day with the developers and some
reporters getting death threats
[Music]
lastly the Advertising Standards
Authority opens up an investigation of
claims of false advertising with someone
at hello games having a Twitter meltdown
a couple of weeks later although of
course that was probably a hack so many
had such high hopes for this game but
now that we think about it no man’s sky
was doomed from the very beginning to
disappoint
