I literally mean the most absurd overhyping I've ever seen so far in my life. I know that some time has passed and a lot may not remember at all but good lord those games were overhyped. Maybe it was because at that time the new generation consoles were not even a year old and everything looked promising. To sumarize everything: Ubisoft sold WD as the GTA V killer with all that hacking stuff and the most advanced graphics ever. The game didn't look good at all. Bungie sold Destiny as the game that would forever change FPS and when the game released they kept the review embargo one week longer so sales wouldn't be affected. Reviews came out like 5 days later and were mostly 6s and 7s. Titanfall was good but was sold also as a genre re-definer and ended being another shooter of the bunch (of good shooters). |
Very true; I admit, I'd forgotten about all three thanks to their sheer vacuous mediocrity.
Each one was drummed up through mountainous advertising as the first true killer app of the new generation, and each was overwhelming bland and hollow.
