TitanFall was actually a great game. Watch_Dogs & Destiny were overhyped.

Bet with Xander XT:

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

This wa the case with Destiny as well

I agree with Ka-Pi on this one, Destiny>Titanfall>Watch_Dogs.

I believe those were after it released rather than prior to the release or at least what I saw. I dont think there was a thread made every other day to why it was going to suck or why it was a huge mistake making it an exclusive. That list goes on and on from AI opponents, to cloud, to EA and MSFT is evil, etc

But im talking primarily about VGC. I cant speak for other forums

Yeah those were after the release (most of them anyway).

Titanfall easily.

Between "Have you seen Titanfall", media calling it the first truly next-gen game, taking 70+ awards @E3, talks of doing this and that with the AI thanks to power of the cloud, Microsoft calling it a "gamechanger", etc...

Destiny was hyped, but that hype was also created due to multiple alphas, betas, etc... and not forged primarily through the media like Titanfall seemed to be. Destiny hype also seems to be justified when you judge by the sales and continued positive word of mouth and amoun of time people play. Please spare me the whole "on forums people complain about Destiny" because in the real world the game is loved, just like CoD was all last gen while forum goers did nothing but talk about how crappy it was.

Of course I speak mainly from what I have seen and what I have experienced in my world outside of gaming forums. Every XBone owner I speak to tells me how Titanfall was disappointing. Those same people love Destiny.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Titanfall. No other game was supposed to be gotg. Ironic that it turned out to be the only to not deliver!

Well its pretty simple.

Titanfall was bashed by the ps4 fanboys even after an outstanding metacritic score. They just kept on bashing.

Game is the only one of those three that delivered (well one of the two, between it and Destiny) . Sure it lacked content, but the gameplay was top notch and after months of updates its at a good place.

I haven't played Watch Dogs, but Destiny was horrible. Coming from a big fps fan.

I think Titanfall's hype did overshadow Destiny for quite a while before it's release. But then Destiny's hype levels just went insane as it got closer and closer.

i can agree with that.

Titanfall>Watchdogs>Destiny

My ranking is based on what I perceive as "deserved" hype.

Titanfall had the media in a stir because it was the CoD guys doing something new. A lot of the hype for Destiny really started building once people actually started playing the game through alpha and beta stages. Watchdogs was just... I dunno.
