Titanfall fell the furthest from what I expected out of it. So I think that has to be the biggest overall disappointment.

Destiny, between his empty world and his repetitive gameplay mechanics, it was the biggest disapointment, of the year.



34 years playing games.

Lol at AC unity 900p.

Didn't play the others, so I will say Watch Dogs. I expected a lot more, but it was just a decent game



3DS FC :  4339 - 3326 - 7693. Add me :) Nickname Tin

I never like this question as the breadth of measures and variables is so large, so it sort of depends.

If you're talking about sales then games like Wolfenstein, which were fantastic, but undersold.

If you're talking about review scores then you'd be looking at things like Dark Dreams Don't Die, Destiny, Drive Club, Destiny and Watch Dogs.

If you're talking about reviw scores relative to the degree of marketing and hype, that really is less of a debate, and the frontrunners are Drive Club, Destiny and Watch Dogs. Fortunately for the publishers those three games will all wind up selling well when the dust settles - but the franchises will not last long if something significant isn't done to bring them up to scratch in the second iteration.

fixed it for you

As for your mention of DriveClub in your third paragraph, it wasn't hyped close to as much as either Destiny or WD, yet it performed about as well (In the review score department), so I don't see how that is a frontrunner.

they said ac unity will be 900p at beginning why game resolution can be disappointment?
how fuck is that means?

This is a very subjective argument to get into, so I wont. But given it launched to one platform, Driveclub was very heavily promoted consistently for 18 months or more by Sony. On forums, a Forza vs Driveclub mindset was put forward quite regularly (by both fanbases), with the latter ultimately not living up to the quality of the former. It also scored meaningfully (though perhaps not substantially) below the other two titles you just referenced.

Nothing so far, but I didn't buy any of those games. Although I am disappointed that the PS+ version is not out yet.

That was why I "fixed" it. Review scores aren't subjective (Don't get me wrong, reviews aren't objective, but you understand what I mean.), game quality is.

Well, sure it was promoted, but Destiny and Watchdogs were hyped on an entirely different level, not remotely comparable to DriveClub's hype. DriveClub scored only 4 points below Destiny (PS4). Now, I agree that FH2 is the better game of the two, but to compare DriveClub and Destiny in the hype department is just silly.

Hmmm. Weird how the best sellers are all dissapointing... Ps4 xboxone owners... Why do you keep defending your system when you are so dissapointed by the games, the so called ganes that made you buy the system?



Zoombael on 14 October 2014

So far... none.

Divinity Original Sin
Alien Isolation
TloU Remastered

Other games i played were released last year (Shadow Warrior) or later.



Hunting Season is done...
