Gametrailers: Top Ten Games in 2016 That Might Suck
- Thread starter nbnt
- Start date
It's a bit different when its not even out. Some of these are pretty close I suppose, its just dickish to assume they'll suck. I get that criticism is necessary in this industry, its just a bit early for some of these
"More likely to suck based on information we've gotten about it" is a bit wordy for a title.
Because you care about the game more than GT.

Every game in 2016 has the potential to suck ass.

They just talked about a lot of these games in their podcast on Thursday, and they made a point to say something positive about each and stress that they don't suck. I'm assuming they say it in the video too but I can't watch it right now.
I have never understood the doom-sayers for Star Fox Zero. Still don't. Almost all of the "this is gonna suck" reaction I have heard is based solely on it not having ultra-realistic graphics. Which is an argument coming from the second most annoying kind of gamer out there. They don't seem to get what visual style the Wii U tends to aim for more often than not. Or what visual style Star Fox games have always aimed for. I mean they literally did the visuals argument in this video and did some hand-wavey argument about how the gamepad sucks (and it doesn't, honestly). They're just not very good arguments at all.
That would suck. Dark Souls 3 combat needs to have much more depth to it.

Yeah, I feel like FFXV would have been a good fit for this list.

Haven't seen enough of Ghost Recon. I highly doubt Hitman or No Man's Sky will suck. Number 1 (Battleborn) is spot on though.

This just reminded me of Gametrailers' melodrama over No Man's Sky

Like Star Citizen is coming out in 2016. Sure.

I hope Mighty No.9 is a good game, I don't expect a masterpiece though. But I can see how the game will not live to the expectations of the first days of the KS campaign and all the bad blood toward Inafune.

No man's Sky is destined to fail horribly. As is battleborn.
This and NMS

If it wasnt for the 2 screen gimmick I would be looking forward to Starfox. Anyone know if it can be played with the pro controller?

i will be really sad if NMS suck, even though it probably will.

seems a fair list - of those I only really really want No Man's Sky so if that sucks I will be very bummed about that. The others are all games, Battleborn aside, I might pick up on sale down the road.
I just vomited a little bit.

because it might suck?
This isn't just regular Guerrilla they have expanded and have many talented people working on this game.
Director: Mathijs de Jonge (Director of Killzone 2)
Writer: John Gonzalez (Lead writer of Fallout: New Vegas)
They hired I think two big people from CD Project Red to help with the open world and questing.
And has been in the cooker since Killzone 3 finished.
Unconfirmed, but there is screen swapping a la W101 and you can disable gyro.
I think that the majority of the staff enjoyed the demo and the news, Ian enjoyed it, for Kyle the demo alone was nearly his favorite game of the year, pretty sure Ben has played it/ enjoyed it but can't remember an video where he said it.
I don't think Blood or Brandon played it (to my knowledge, Blood could come in and correct), Huber only hasn't played because he wants to go in fresh.
I more worried that Mac Walters is creative director or Chris Schlerf (Halo 4 writer) is lead writer.
I'm gonna be really sad if NMS is not good. As long as the exploration is interesting and there is enough variety between planets I will be satisfied.
It's one of four games I will be preordering this year and I have the money set aside for it already.
My others are Zelda, Horizon, and Deus Ex. I feel pretty good about all of those.

Wasn't Cuphead delayed because of the lack of substance?
Is it ever being released?

I'd honestly put Horizon on that list.
I personally like Guerilla but their games aren't very popular or universally liked.
They made 4 linear shooters and most of them were met with mixed reactions (again, I liked them but other than 2 they don't get a lot of love around the internet). So I'm not sure if they will deliver the mindblowing open world RPG that a lot of people seem to think Horizon will be
I think storytelling in particular is one of their issues. Killzone has a really interesting world and backstory but with 4 entries in the franchise (5 if you count mercenaries) they couldn't deliver a fun or interesting plot even once.
Doesn't seem that weird to me

It's a list about 10 high profile games that might end up sucking and these are the 10 they think have the highest chance of doing just that. And they give reasons for each choice (Mafia III looking like it has too much over the top action, Quantum Break having that tie in live action show, Hitman being episodic on focusing on replaying missions, etc).

That battleborn ending commentary is precisely why i have no freaking interest in this title.
It's like they did all the bad marketing steps why their concurrents have done much better with less time.

The only glaring omission seems like FFXV. Other than that, it basically echoes my own doubts.
Don't exactly understand the defense force for QB. I loved Alan Wake, but between the generic looking third person shooting and the unclear in quality "show" they have integrated into the game, I think there's every reason to have doubts.

Yeah,it's gonna suck. It's comes across as a poor GTA V clone.
