Like you said Wez and Larry, I didn’t hear about Fable or project something and found the game in 2006 and played it on PC and really loved it. The world was beautiful and being evil or good was pretty new and well done. However, Fable 3 was so shit that I threw the disc in my trash can. It’s a horrible thing when games get worse as they release sequels. Another great vid, I didn’t know you guys were on TV, I think more people watch this show on the net anyways…

I didn’t think DNF wasn’t the worst game ever but it was just so…..meh. I got some fun out of it despite the loading times, the two weapons, the Call of Duty health, etc. It suffered the longest development time of any game out there so I cut it a little slack.

Daikatana on the other hand was a shit stain and nothing more.

I have to agree. I think FF13 should be at the top of this list. I mean, it was the first Final Fantasy game on this generation of consoles and every Final Fantasy game has been better than other generic (J)RPGs on the market at the time. So when FF13 came out I was so full of glee that I bought it without even glancing at the reviews. It’s Final Fantasy, so it has to be good. And I have never been so disappointed in my life.

Great video but I would have added an honerable mention for Skyrim on PS3. Skyrim on PS3 is a horribly coded piece of shit with more glitches than the pc/360 versions and such crippling lag/stutter and console freezes that it becomes unplayable in a very short time.

No Eternal Champions? Granted, Rise Of The Robots is worse, but Eternal Champions was a bad game that was REALLY overhyped.

I wholeheartily agree with the list EXCEPT with Fable. Fable was a game that RPG fans hated and detested YET casual gamers loved. Yes,it cetainly didn’t lived up to the ginormous expectations that Molyneux was hyping it,but I still loved its atmosphere and Monty Python-esque humor.

The Too Human case was really sad,because Silicon Knights really wanted to push this IP forward and it ened up sinking them (with that awful X-Men game being the final nail in their coffin). Denis Dyack used to post regularly over at TeamXbox and discuss the story and mythology of the game.

Driv3r…yikes. I actually met one of the Newcastle devs on Xbox Live and back on February of 2004 he told that the game needed at least 8 more months of development. Not a month later Infogrames decided to publish the game ahead of schedule and the rest is history…

Daikatana… Don’t ever pronounce that game aloud. Bad things may happen…

Thing is, All AAA production games are overhyped. that is becouse hype is ussualy a function of the games marketing buget and not quallity. so i can even name some verry good games that were overhyped.
this list is mostly a top 10 WORST games with the restrition of the games getting high hype treatment.

Funny thing is that a few of these game were stuff I never heard of, Mission Impossible (I didn’t know there WAS a game on the N64) & Rise of Robots (Nope never heard of it). As for the stuff I did know about:

Fable: it was a very good game, I’m never been one for hype, and I’ve learned that Molynuex could make a blind man buy a library, as for the series I enjoyed all 3 installments (Yes even the supposedly shitty 3rd one)

Too Human: A very bad diablo-style dungeon crawler with a stupid story and annoying controls (There’s a reason for the other buttons on the controllers you know)

Daikatana: If Romero spent less time wanking off to a portrait of himself and more time actually developing his game maybe it wouldn’t have been shit

I liked Fable. It was very short & the world was really small, but for me, the humor & 2 discs of music I got off it of made up for that. Never encountered any bugs in the PC version.

Well, haven’t seen any Driv3r glitch videos yet. Guess I’m going to when this video is done.

Fable 1: Buggy mediocre game
Fable TLC: My favorite Xbox Original game
Everything afterwards: Disappointing
