10 Obvious Video Game Home Runs That Somehow FAILED

I love how the universe constantly reminds me I spent 80$ on Anthem

11:07 correction, CP 2077's crash has nothing to do with expectations, in a sense it did delivery on what was expecting which is a compelling sotry rpg fallout style, but it was buggy to the point of unplayability, which could have been fixed if they gave the devs time to do so, even if CDPR are not known for making flawless games, people forget even the Witcher has a lot of bugs to this day

GTA definitive edition was a grandslam and they fubar'd that.

Battlefront Classic Collection could've been an easy win, but Aspyr screwed up, if they delayed the game, people would understand, the only people that would get upset are those that screech at a squirrel or animal out their window, Aspyr is also no longer in charge of the Kotor remake, it's a different studio. Anyway Aspyr messed up, all they had to do was delay the game, but they decided to sell nostalgia instead and break the games worse than they were at launch, even the updates just break the game.

Unfortunately the lack of X-Men in Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite was all on Disney's Licensing Board. Due to bad blood between Fox and Disney prior to the later buying the former, the mandate from Disney was to allow no licensing of X-Men or Fantastic Four characters. This was the reason why Venom, Ghost Rider and Nova were in the game despite not appearing in the MCU.

Brink was, and still is, great fun to play. Thankfully the developers had the foresight to include AI bots so it's still fully playable offline. More games should do this.....

I'm shocked more don't know about Star Wars Republic Commandos. Such an amazing game.

Aspyr are no longer making Knights of the Old republic, Saber Interactive are making it.

I got the Battlefront collection for the single player stuff only, and i got to say i love it! Although they dosnt give the option to invert the Y axis for thw first 2 weeks which sucked. Other than that im pretty happy with my purchase to be honest.

Great timing considering we are watching a surprise homerun be shot down by Sony in Helldivers 2

Did not BRINK also change the style and theme of the game losing a big chunk of the base.

I had a friend who ended up passing away before cyberpunk came out. She had been hoping and hoping it would finally get made, would talk about remembering when it was first announced. Worked in a game store that I think even had some poster or cards made up at one point for a promised release date that never came? She passed away right before 2020, literally mid December of 2019. She never got to play it. Even had she lived long enough to see the release, she would have had to have endured that erap launch and indeed, how many other people didn't live to see things improve? I guess it was good she didn't see how terrible it was then but still. Fixing things later isn't always going to work and especially when they had been at it for as long as they were.

Me: wow, Jules makes awesome points Jules: the American Revolution was a bad AC setting Me: sweetie! Get my flintlock!

Next vid: 10 Obvious Video Game Failures That Somehow Succeeded Also, you can blame Disney for the failure of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. It was either their way or the highway. Capcom had no choice but to do it Disney's way and Disney tossed the entire crossover franchise in the trash when they learned doing it their way wasn't profitable.

If it’s any consolation, some of these games, AC3, Cyberpunk, Titanfall 2, did either much needed improvements and/or people just learned to appreciate them over time.

I think Forza Motorsport deserves a slot on the list. 6 months since launch, player count nearly non-existent, day one bugs being ignored by developers, updates that break the game, cars and tracks that are launched broken, singleplayer is devoid of content, Criticism being actively scrubbed from the official forums, and to top it all off, Turn10 blaming the community for the state of the game.

As a big Star Wars Battlefront fan it hurts me to see Battlefront on this list but it belongs on this list 😥

10:40 at least anthem only took itself out, but also PS4’s with it

Final Fantasy games character's likeness kinda been explained in FinalFantasy 14 :P.... "The Sundering" they called it one person soul been split apart into 14 soul parts (14 worlds).

What's sad is that Anthem is the best Iron Man game out there....
