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). |
For all it is worth I liked WD and it was a pretty game at launch. And I'm not found of open world. A friend lending me and not needing to pay for it may have helped (similar with The Order).

I can't recall that many games that even utilized the d-pad, let alone required use of the d-pad and analog stick at the same time.. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if the inclusion of the d-pad on the n-64 controller was just nintendo hedging their bets, in case the analog stick wouldn't be well received, or if 2D-games happened to remain popular. |
If you couldn't use both at the same time of course very fell games would be made to use both, but they existed. Right now I remember Syphon Filter needing both in some interaction, like at one point you used select to change weapons but you could only go one way, then you could use the d-pad and go back and forth, with up being to lantern and down for health or thing like that.
