The Biggest Gaming Disappointments of 2014

By GamersRex Tuesday, January 6, 2015













The Delays

Year 2014 was fulled with highly-touted AAA titles.


Presently, 5 of the most anticipated games of 2014 were delayed to 2015, and not only that, we also saw some troubled launches of 2014.


Some of the games which were thrown out of the year 2014 were :-



- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Battlefield Hardline
- The Order: 1886
- Quantum Break
- The Division
- Mad Max
- Evolve

But it would be better to wait for a good release (hopefully) than to get a troubled one early.




Assassin's Creed: Unity

The game was claimed to be the biggest, boldest and most ambitious Assassin's Creed experience ever but what we got was one of the most broken.


Even Ubisoft believed that they kicked the reputation of the Assassin's Creed franchise.


Issues were not only related to performance, but to graphics as well ! Fans were welcomed with big updates to fix several problems.


But we can't get our hopes down with Assassin's Creed yet, its their first ever next-gen title, so we can hopefully expect the next upcoming highly anticipated Assassin's Creed: Victory to be better than Unity.


Believe it or not, we love to play Ubisoft Games !




Grand Theft Auto Online


Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V was one of the best selling games when it first released in 2013. But for players hoping to see the GTA series taking a step forward into more focused multiplayer experience world we now occupy, it was Grand Theft Auto Online that held the real promise.


But unfortunately, a troubled launch was just an appetizer for the lengthy wait ahead.



The Online Heiests - complex jobs to be carried out with friends (the top-most priority for fans) was promised on a nearly monthly basis, but we waited for a year and still the release isn't even close. But we have the next-gen version with first person mode, isn't it ?



The thing about "Next-Gen" !

Sony and Microsoft kept console gamers waiting with enough promises and lofty goals and features to make it almost seem worth the wait. 


The imaginative ideas they promoted, Xbox One and PS4 were touted much for the hardware they contained within. Better visuals, better story, better online features.


Now since, Xbox One and PS4 passed 1 year since their launch, its becoming clear that consumers were sold on potential, not products. Promised features are still delayed, disastrous launches for next-gen games intended to show the power of the system's online architecture.


Some so called next-gen games were simply shipped with issues intact while games like NHL 15 ended up cutting entire modes and standard content just to make its next-gen release.




Destiny

The most pre-ordered new IP in history became the best-selling new IP in history while fooling all its fans.


Many of the fans expected so much from this and believed that it would be a successor to Halo. But when people got to playing the game, they realized, it was no Halo successor in ways that deeply mattered to Bungie's fans.


The true thing about Destiny was then revealed. The reviews of the game alone proved that it was far from the "genre-reinvention" promised.


It would have been better to concentrate on maintaining most of the genre's trappings and strengths than to promoting the game as "well-built".
