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

I'm noticing a common theme here. The letter D. :P

For disappointment

I'm going to assume that you are really disappointed with Destiny, enough to include it twice in one list.

As for me, Destiny is my most disappointing game in years. Knowing how good Bungie are(were) at crafting a superb, story driven single player game, to be presented with Destiny felt like jumping in bed with Scarlett Johansson and suffering erectile dysfuntion: Potentially there's a lot of fun to be had but all the important bits are limp and lacking in excitement.

No Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or Half-Life 3, now that's a disappointment.

Watch Dogs and Destiny. Everything for the former and story for the latter. I'd say WD since it seemed rudimantary and tired to me, but the hype Destiny got makes me feel to put it at number 1. I don't find it a bad game - just a shit story with gameplay flaws I could live with.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Titanfall for me, but it wasn't that bad (actually quite fun for a while). I haven't played other overhyped games like Watch_Dogs or Destiny.

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.

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.


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.

I certainly agree that Destiny was the most hyped title of this year. I didn't mean to equate the three titles, just say that they were all very hyped, and didnt wind up with the quality or critical reception anticipated.

Disclaimer: I have played the Alpha and Beta, but decided not to get the game after the critic and user reviews (on which I was commenting). I will still grab it cheap, though not until the new year. Your views reflect exactly the majority of what I read about it.
