I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

It seems disappointment = bad in this thread.


And why would that be wrong? 

Because bad = bad and disappointment = worse than expected. People like to throw objectivity out of the window when something unexpected happens. Or in short, not meeting the hype doesn't make a game bad.

For example I was initially extremely disappointed in Borderlands the PreSequel. It absolutely doesn't live up to Borderlands 2. is it a turd? Nope. It's just not as good as a great game.

You had something to compare it to. Destiny has had some of the biggest hype we have seen for any game in a very long time, if not ever. Is it a terrible game? No. Is it a good game? No. Disappointment and only a so-so game can easily equal turd. It is Turd of the Year, not Bad game of the Year. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Fair enough but reading the OP again I think it really means literally bad games.

Exactly. We were originally going after literally 'bad' games. (In terms of controls, graphics, overall value, etc.) I was kind of shocked by some of the submissions tbh.

If there is a sub category I nominate Sword Art Online for Vita for worst language translation of a game I have played. Very lazy and slapped together.

There could be a category for worst voice acting too! It'd be great.....

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Driveclub
Master Chief Collection
Assassin's Creed Unity

All 3 released in unacceptable states. Clearly rushed out the door in order to capitalize on the holidays.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Sonic Boom is already a legend. I don't know if anything can compete with it. Wait, it's already in officially? Okay then...

1. The Crew was the most broken game at release of any game this year, so it does deserve a nomination.
2. Master Chief Collection was a fiasco. It'll be okay in the end, but for the disaster its launch is to the brand, I nominate it.
3. Uh...Thief, that was this year right? That was shit.

I can't think of anything else. Can I just nominate Ubisoft? They're pretty much the shittiest game company out there now. Broken releases, unreasonable review embargoes, the shit they pulled with Watch Dogs Wii U, and that's just this year. Their shit has been going on for a while now and they're showing no signs of improving. They seriously make EA look good. We should have TOTY for companies. Just exclude the 1st party companies, and it should be fine.

I'm really not. Actually I'm quite surprised we haven't seen GTA V or COD AW here yet.

Unfortunately... Some games really don't fit the buch (at all!) in my opinion and it isn't quite what it originally was intended for. But oh well, we're gonna finish what we started nonetheless, let's just take it with a grain of salt.
