Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Sunset Overdrive wins most disappointing game of 2014

Tagged games:

I just finished sunset and was amazing and fun as faq. What kind of a retard thats never played this game had an opinion about it? One that has no xbox to play it?



Around the Network

I don't agree with most of these choices at all. Sunset Overdrive was loved by a lot of people over at Gaf and other forums and I never once got the impression the overall view was 'disappointing'. Transistor was VERY well received and hundreds of people were recommending it to their friends. And Alien Isolation? People LOVE the game. It's gotten so much traction from the internet that it's destined to become a classic amongst games. Just watch Angry Joe's review to see the general consensus of opinion.

I like how games that were borderline unplayable, maybe still are for some people, are lower on the list than a fresh new IP that attempted to do something different. The game certainly wasn't for everyone but to say it was the most disappointing of the year, little harsh.


It's the Xbone's version of Knack. Most people who played Knack, loved it. Most people who played Sunset, loved it. But if you google it, you'll find it sandwhiched somewhere between Superman 64 and E.T.



I disagree. I think Sunset Overdrive is a good game. Not a masterpiece, but a fun game overall

The only dissapointing thing about it is that it sold terribly. Much worse than everyone expected.



I honestly feel Destiny should have won this award. Though the games multiplayer is amazing, The amount of money put in to this game, the hype and the utter disappointment of the worst story of ALL TIME.

Not many people I know expected it to sell much more than it did to be honest. I for one NEVER thought it would more than 1 million before 2015 hit. It's somewhat of a niche title and a fresh IP at that, so yeah.

This moron also gave Forza Horizon 2 a score of 2/10.

Wouldn't visit his site if you paid me.

Since he didn't list fh2 here maybe he was already expecting the game to be worth 2/10.

Sunset never really seemed like an amazing game to begin with if you ask me. I don't even think I would buy it if I had an X1. I'd probably wait for a discount and then get it.



Please consider some points before being só angry.

It's the guy opinion, and as bad or seemly wrong it is you can't prove it wrong.

He opened by explaining his definition of disapointing regarding what he was expecting. So this isn't about worst games or nothing like that. It's just a list of game he was too hyped and got underdelivered. So perhaps he didn't expect much from wd or destiny but were for so, transistor, etc. This isn't public acclaim.

Transistor was pretty cool game. Sunset was ok (not what I expected, but still enjoyed the game) so overall I don't agree with the list!
