The way they monetized the game was garbage. Instead of letting you purchase the same currency you earned in the game they let you purchase gold, wich could be used to get rid of the level gate on certain items. This gave people who were willing to spend money a huge edge over other players.
@@geoffrogue3049I think it also has to do with the fact that without cars and helicopters and flying cars and rocket packs etc there wasn't much to buy to actually go insane in the game. Like you could get a big horse or an elephant gun but nothing truly game changing. So even if you had an "edge" it wasn't a big deal worth spending money on. I still enjoyed Rd online tho
@@danielbuhr4260that's just a lack of creativity though. Like there could be properties to buy or trains or steam boat or something. Heck make a mode with zombies and they could go crazy with magical or steampunk shit. Everyone loved undead nightmare for rdr 1. Not that i think this kind of monetization would be good but i could come up with a ton of ideas...
I would love to see a video of just "10 games that I just flat out don't like" or "games with 0 redeeming qualities," cause I love the way Falcon rants! lol
This could be interesting! Would also be a good opportunity for the whole team to have their own video (each person who presents videos, at least). Might be a good way for new viewers like myself to get a sense of each host's personality.
Yeah but he should've mentioned the fact that Kerbal Space 2 it had 2 different studios: the OG one was removed and the new one was put in place for KSP2 which is why it is the feature regression game e.g. something that Bellular brought up and it's true litereally sequels that have basic fucking features from the OG game gone and the fact that develeopment hell lingered from the outside causing the general game to come to a hault. And ofc it was being listed as a overprice experience that can't even be cooked properly... 70 dollars lmfao.
@@calvinmartin1305 Fr and it makes the platinum basically impossible after the online servers are shut down. Platinum for single player games should only involve only single-player things. If they want to make multiplayer trophies, make it multiplayer specific and make it so it doesn't impact people who only play singleplayer
@@Zero-c5v yeah, there are a bunch of games that have a second tab for trophies, like those added later, and it sucks when single player tie the platinum to online. You just know that you better jump into MP fast and get those out of the way
@@calvinmartin1305 it's infuriating when you buy a single player game, love it, feel like going completionist and you are forced to go into the MP and work your ass. And usually the MP they tie to trophies is bad.
In "Crysis 2" (original, don't know about Remaster) you can't reach 100% completion rating in single-player because the statistic screen wants you to find 13 weapon attachment but in fact you can only find 12. It is a very minor thing but I have never forgotten this.
There's one game that never got fixed and that was alien control Marines, example in the ferst mission and you look up one peace of the ships ceiling was out of place.
Where are you going after you die? What happens next? Have you ever thought about that? Repent today and give your life to Jesus Christ to obtain eternal salvation. Tomorrow may be too late my brethen😢. Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after that the judgement
@@idehenebenezer Wrong place, wrong audience man. Why don't you try a place where people are actually interested and receptive. All you're doing is pushing people away by being pushy in the wrong scenarios.
Biomutant is a game that comes to mind. I don't think it's a buggy mess (I haven't played much of it) but it is a game that was just entirely abandoned and forgotten after release even though it had a fair bit of marketing prior to launch and got at least average reviews.
It needed more content but instead they spent time developing a 4K 60fps patch for PS5 and enhanced graphics for the PC port. Making it shinier doesn't help it be less boring and bare-bones.
Problem with the game is that the "No real language and the narrator is telling you everything they say all the damn time" gets so damn tedious to sith through very quick, the recycled rinse-and-repeat-content doesn't really help it either.
@@busterkeaton1041 yea I was really interested pre launch. Got the game eventually but just didn't get very far. I'll give it an honest try someday lol.
The list 10. Anthem 9. Red dead online 8. Star wars jedi survivor (pc) 7. Kerbal space program 2 6. Resident evil re:verse 5. Back for blood 4. Wild hearts 3. Star trek infinite 2. Babylons fall 1. Redfall
I played Evolve with a 4-man team. We each had our favorite character and we'd select those characters. Most matches we wouldn't get those characters and we'd be forced to play roles we either didn't like or even hated. I got on the Evolve forums and asked about it. One of the devs for the games responded and asked why we'd want to play the same character in the same role in every game. I wanted to play the Medic, but even with three other players who didn't want to play medic, I still only got to play medic maybe 3 times out of 5.
I have pretty much the exact same approach to how I play games and if a game can't facilitate that playstyle then I don't play it lol. I might be on the spectrum though, idk.
Honestly, I love playing specific rolls in some games. in BF3/4 I was heavy into medic. But I play with a friend and usually go point/support and she does ranged/tank and it feels great.. being forced into something youre not into sucks
As someone who plays FF14 and is used to playing the same role all the time and others doing the same that is a silly question. I did enjoy Evolve but only when I was the monster. I hated playing the classes.
Falcon definitely needs to gear up a follow up to this list! BioMutant, D&D Dark Alliance, and Necromunda: Hired Gun immediately came to mind! Though, the state of gaming...this topic could be an ongoing series :/
I just restarted Anthem on sunday cuz I was seeing alot of mention of it lately on youtube comments and vids. So far its better then release but story and gameplay are still the same. Bugs and other small things are much better tho
The way Rockstar failed to capitalize on and then abandoned RDR2 still burns me. I don't know how they couldn't figure out that the GTA and RDR fandoms don't completely overlap and that they will want slightly different things.
They did figure it out. RDR fans are interested in stories and detailed worlds. GTA fans are cosmetics addicts, and will blow their rent money on GTA$ just to get their fix the day a new tshirt drops. Guess which one's more profitable. I'm half expecting that GTA VI was only approved because it could serve as a platform for GTAO2.
I played a bit of Redfall because it was on Gamepass and because it was Arkane Austin. As mentioned there were kernels of ideas in there. It wasn't irredeemably bad, it was just clear that the studio didn't want to make a live service. You'd find corners of great environmental story telling, the gun play was actually pretty satisfying. Its just such a shame that they got forced into making it as it was. There's an alternative timeline where they were allowed to make a version of the game that played to their strengths. I wish i'd got to see it and unfortunately now we'll never see them have a chance to do anything again. It sucks pretty damn hard.
Seems like the same problem as suicide squad game, if you want to make live service game you should understand about how good live games actually works and find people that know how to it, thats what you get when forcing someone to make stuff outside their true ability. Even if that person can the result always awfull
4:00 Jedi survivor has actually had 3 steam builds uploaded to steamdb in the past couple weeks which tells us that its very likely that the game will be updated soon hopefully
There is more wrong info in this video. They removed Denuvo DRM from Back 4 Blood only 1-2 weeks ago. It were confirmed 2 weeks ago that Redfall will get a patch with lots of fixes that also includes offline mode. You can't trust any video on RU-vid in general anymore as they don't bother to do research anymore. There is frequently factual errors in non gaming videos too.
I've been playing Jedi Survivor on my PC for the last couple months through GamePass and haven't had any issues. I was expecting it to still have some bugs but haven't noticed anything.
The clips used to show the games in Gameranx videos is so interesting to me. It's like an AI chose them. They're usually completely unrelated to what's being pointed out. "Breath of the Wild has some of the CRAZIEST physics systems. You can build ANYTHING" *shows ten seconds clip of someone changing the resolution setting in the main menu*
I dont get how EA is still a company, the amount of IP’s and companies they have crashed and burned? Is it FIFA? Is that the reason they are still going?
Ya it’s EA sports as a whole that keeps them up and running. FIFA, NHL, Madden. The casual gamers are what keeps the company a float by buying the same game year after year
@@TheNotSureunfortunately many people don't know yet the monstrosity of EA, many casuals and beginners don't understand the current news in the community. I can tell you this because soo many my friends only play football games
Jedi Survivor is such a great game, it’s such a shame it’s reputation has been almost irreversibly tainted by EA’s laziness in failing to support it with good game-fixing patches.
10: Anthem 9: Red Dead Online 8: Star Wars: Survivor PC port 7: Kerbal Space Program 2 6: Resident Evil Re-Verse 5: Back 4 Blood 4: Wild Hearts 3: Star Trek: Infinite 2:: Babylon's Fall 1: Redfall
The Avengers game, it had some flaws, but the combat was actually fantastic. In my opinion, I still play it today occasionally as I find it so fun. I love running around as Black Panther, with the close of flying around as Thor, and pinning down enemies with mjolnir. It never got fixed but if it was some sort of open world i reckon it could have done better
@@gthakur17runs really well on my 2070. Maybe there's some other hardware conflicts? Then again, lots of comments are calling out other entries so not sure what went wrong with this video, definitely not up to the usual standard.
It was straight up criminal how EA handled Wild Hearts, they were so close to a GotY contender and a cash cow IP, and all they had to do was invest some support in it. It genuinely makes me sad to think what could have been. I really hope some very clever EA Exec' recognises this and gives it another shot.
I know everyone gives Mass Effect Andromeda a hard time. And yeah it was flawed but I have to say I enjoyed it! I thought it was a pretty good time. I played it back to back because I really enjoyed the gameplay.
Yeah I played it in 2022 and it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t as good as the original trilogy, but I didn’t hate it either. Looked beautiful on my new PC at the time as well.
Considering they did a lot of patches and updates to fix most of the launch problems, it looks and plays really nice now. Wish these channels would point that out instead of just lying about how the game is now.
Yeah I enjoyed it quite a bit, as did my wife, it's rare to get even a decent OW sci-fi RPG, so it did it's job for me, I actually like it better than the trilogy. I'm not a big fan of playing through stories. I prefer the Bethesda and Piranha Bites formula of factions for different play styles type of thing. Now I have Starfield a similarly received game. Which I also enjoy quite a bit.
Resident Evil REverse has a lot of remastered outfits from the old games that are worth porting into the campaigns of the other games, like RE6 Leon, Battlesuit Jill, RE6 Ada, RE: Revelations 2 Claire
i really hate the rdr2 audio problem that fucks up when you are using an audio interface. never have it in any other title, do not have the audio problem when connecting my headphones straight into the motherboard. I have seen only temporary fixes that just fix it until it randomly just start crackling again. other audio playing in another window also does not crackle, just the in game audio.
I must have got away lucky with this one. I've ONLY ever played it through non-onboard audio hardware, sound cards internal and external and DACs and it's always been good for me. I didn't know this was a problem. Man that sucks.
Quote "We are working to release our final update, Game Update 4, that brings revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, Single Player Pausing, Offline Mode, and more"... as you said, for what it's worth!
Yeah, Microsoft stated that a patch for offline mode and the ability to pause the game were released on May 30, 2024. I've yet to test this myself since I'm currently playing Outriders. I had planned to record a playthrough of Redfall despite its reception. So I still plan to as long as I can play the game, I suppose.
I played Vampyr and god was It a relief whenn I finished it, so many F questions even the lady at the end ( I forgot her name) literally says "more questions?"
I only played for a couple hours but I enjoyed what I played. The world was SEVERELY lacking in all aspects and the gameplay loop was incredibly repetitive and frankly boring but the gun play was good, the movement felt fluid and I was excited to see where the suits could go. Unfortunately they didn't make millions on release so abandon it and move on I guess
Sable for PS5 is totally a mess, It barely reaches 15 or 20 fps, And the devs had the audacity to openly say that they won't fix their game as they are working on their next game, What a shame 😤
I remember playing Terminator on PS2 in 2008, and it was the first time I played a game on hard mode. It crashed 7 hours in, and I never finished it. Still bugs me till this day
On PS5 I only suffered one major issue on Jedi Survivor, there’s a point where dozens of droids flood the screen, amongst other enemies, and it slowed to an absolute crawl…didn’t experience any other major issues.
Two games that never got fixed Bendy and The Ink Machine and its major Save Corruption issues . Troll and I is a great game I think , but it can crash and characters get stuck in the scenery often , the alarm SFX can just make one sound and its unfixable until you finish that section .
I love Stellaris, and was interested in Star Trek Infinite, but not happy that I bought it now... the game had potential and I was hoping it would be updated
Please Bioware, I dont care if it takes even 5 more years, just please release DA Dreadwolf in a non-buggy state and without microtransactions. All I want🙏
I hear you, but do you honestly think gamers won't complain about something? 40% of the Bottom 20 games released on Steam are from the past two years and a few of them are not actually bad. It's disproportionate, games are not actually much worse now than 20 years ago. Helldivers 2 was briefly one of the worst reviewed games of all time on Steam. No matter what Sony did, it's not fair to the devs. Gamers are in the habit of bombing anything that doesn't meet their expectations. If gamers aren't complaining about Denuvo, then it's about EA Launcher. They complain about old tweets, balancing, server issues, and many additional issues which are out of the control of the developer. More often than not, gamers don't actually have their own opinions, they find an influencer they like and just copy their opinions. Way too many Steam reviews, even positive ones, are copy/pasted, part of a review brigade. Yes, we get games that release to acclaim and good performance like Elden Ring, Hi-Fi Rush, etc., but anything less than perfection, anything less than meeting all expectations, and gamers lose their minds
@@Mmarcossith678-33uu Both have a history of messing up great game series. Im hoping Dragon Age bucks this trend and releases in a functional state that has all the love put into it that Inquisition had
Sad to hear about Stark Trek Infinite being abandoned. I've had nothing but good experiences with Paradox games, recommend one to a friend under the promise it'll be barebones at launch, but get better with time, only for that to be the one time they abandon a game immediately. Cities Skylines 2 later proved that to be the new trend from Paradox, but still.
What's yalls PC hardware please? I returned the game because mine couldn't even load the opening logos. I loved fallen order, sad I still haven't played survivor.
Think I may have had 1 crash and a little bit of stuttering, but that was with dozens of hours of play. Had a blast with the game, honestly. Seems the 30xx graphics cards didn't have the same issues as the 40xx cards.
@@sheikhrobbie466 i did encounter a game breaker that stopped an optional boss from spawning at the end of a questline (which made trophy impossible), but that was patched a few weeks later.
Same here... Played it with a i7-12700, a 3080 w/10 gig ram, and 32 gig DDR4 3600 and it played just fine except for one or two cutscenes that stuttered a tiny bit.
i know this video isn't about bugs specifically, but i'm a guy who mostly only buys games a year or two after release on sale. i'll hit spots constantly where i can't progress, google the problem, and be hit with TONS of results that it's a known day one bug, and i'm still experiencing it YEARS after launch.
I work in the ER and sometimes it can get stressful, so I just want to come home and relax after a 12 hr shift. Know what does the job? Red Dead 2 (mostly online because I enjoy playing with my own character and participating in the events). There's something about riding my horse places to take in the scenery or picking a spot to fish while drinking a beer and maybe watch RU-vid at the same time. Call me crazy, but it's become therapeutic for me. Also, I haven't finished everything yet, so I still have things to do (I know eventually that will change). Still, I'll never forgive Rockstar for dumping RDR2 the way they did.
Red dead online never had a chance with gta online being as big of a cash cow as it is. They tried to monetize it but they screwed themselves by making gold an earnable currency so people would rather just grind missions than spend real cash. There weren’t any flying bikes and $10m cars for 12 year olds to send their moms into credit card debt over so they gave up on it.
Re:Verse hurt because I remember playing RE:Outbreak and they were amazing. And yes I understand that they were not considered competitive multi-player games.
I played Jedi Survivor on pc a few weeks ago. I had zero technical issues with it. No performance issues, no crashes, no bugs. I was surprised to see this game on this list. Maybe I was lucky. Or maybe Falcon is just over dramatically exaggerating again.
Arkham Origina is missing. That one deserves special attention since WB Games blatantly declared they would NOT fix it to focus on the paid DLC instead (which was also broken AF).
@@brodriguez11000 It's not even optional customization with how far they took it, vanilla HOI4 is practically unfinished when you look at how barebones the content is without DLC, I mean things that were present at launch with HOI3 like weapon purchases, intelligence agencies, collaboration gov'ts and espionage weren't even present and you *have to* buy DLC just to get them, not to mention how few countries even have focus tree's in the base game too
Train Sim World 1-3 absolutely belong on this list. In all 3 cases, instead of fixing the bugs, the devs just decided to move on to the sequel. Which is what they will likely do with TSW4. Very disappointing, because this series has a LOT of potential.
Jedi Survivor being on this list is surprising to me. Do people insist on playing every game with all the settings maxed regardless of performance? I bought a 4070Ti before the launch of Jedi Survivor and it played perfectly with settings at Medium/High.
I just played Jedi Survivor in Mar/April over about 50 hours on a 5700X and 6700XT on on high at 1440p and had no crashes or issues at all during the playthrough.
When Red Dead Redemption 2 was first announced and going through its hype cycle I predicted, even then, that Red Dead Online would be abandoned within the first three years. The simple fact of the matter is, Red Dead's setting doesn't provide the sort of microtransactions that Rockstar thrives on - no mega yachts, orbital weapons, vehicles, aircraft, or luxury houses. Even the clothing options are so much more limited due to the setting. And GTA V's cancelled story DLC already made it plenty clear that Rockstar only cares about the money at this point.
Jedi Survivor probably won't see any significant fixes because ot sold as much as it was going to. EA doesn’t see it as worthwhile to keep fixing a game that will now only sell comparatively few discounted copies.
As a primarily solo gamer I'm never disheveled about online/multi-player failures such as the case with RDR2, but buggy PC ports will always be the bane of my gaming experience..."damn, damn, DAMN!"
I own a copy of Anthem, actually. I needed $1 for free shipping (otherwise pay for $8 shipping) and saw Anthem for $1, so I said "what the hell? I'll try it for $1." Promptly never tried it.
How did you make a list like this and leave out the TOMB RAIDER "shipwreck beach" fast-travel glitch? It corrupts all your save files and has been present in every version and update/patch of the game since 2013.
One of best comebacks in game history is Dayz Standalone, the game was left to die and the devs took the money and went hiking and now we got new devs and the game is looking better then ever.
Thankful for this video. A number of games on here I've been thinking lately, "I should try them and see how they are now." Cause it's pretty common place anymore to release turds and then polish them after they're in people's hands.
Halo MCC never got their Anti cheat fixed. Cheaters and hackers are flying around LITERALLY BANNING PEOPLE from the game.They shouldnt be able to do that.
I never even realized that Paradox made a Star Trek game, but after seeing how half-baked the past few HOI4 DLC's have been it makes total sense that they managed to drop the ball as hard as they did and to think that if they supported it then they would've had another huge success otherwise
Without patching, Far Cry 2's stealth system is broken in its vanilla form. A silenced headshot on any enemy in the game would still cause the NPC to shout "uuuuhhh!" and alert everyone. Considering how cool the diamond purchasing system was, the oversight was absolutely painful.
Redfall did get an offline mode. It was part of the last update they did and yes, I did in fact play the game and played it in offline mode on console.
Hey @gameranx you need to fix the info at the end of your video about Redfall. MS and Arkane announced a few days ago that the planned final patch with offline mode and a few other fixes will be coming out after all in the coming weeks. So it’s not all doom and gloom with Redfall.
Everyone forgot that red dead onlines gun holsters used to fit snug against your body til they broke it with the naturalist update...then they just left them floating there and abandoned the game 🙈
