1. Anthem
2. Fallout 76
3. Red Dead Redemption 2
4. Cyberpunk 2077

what was the biggest fail of them all? out of these 4?

 

[Paltheos]

A little quick to call Cyberpunk a failure, no? Seems fine (from what little I've played so far), but I've heard some stuff gets buggy, which my friends inform me is something CDPR usually keeps on top of.

Bigger failures that come to mind are Final Fantasy XV and Star Ocean 5. Oh right. Yooka-Laylee. Oof.

Edit: OH RIGHT. Super Mario Odyssey, but that's a mega unpopular position.

 

[FrankCaron]

This thread gunning for placement on its own list. How meta.

(Real talk, what metric is defining failure? Two of those games are among the best selling of all time...

Though Anthem and Avengers are definitely up there with all time blunders. Andromeda too.)

 

[Wesleyalucard]

Halo monkey infinity

 

[Genx3]

RDR 2?

No just No.
RDR 2 Could possibly be the best game ever but what ever.

Nah, it runs like absolute hot garbage on PS4 and Xbox One X. That's a failure

 

[Rockman33]

I can get behind anthem and fall out.

But RDR2 and cyber punk?! Not a chance

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Lmao imagine thinking RDR2 is a failure. Delusional.

 

[Bridges]

Demigod of Troll Threads, eh?

I think we need a better definition of what you consider a failure. Red Dead 2 really doesn't qualify by any metric. Cyberpunk has performance issues but it seems to have already made a boatload of money and people still like it so, failure? Bit harsh. Even Fallout 76 managed to push out enough updates to keep a devoted following, didn't set the world on fire (heh) but it seems to be doing just fine. Anthem, sure.

Kinect was a bigger failure this generation than anything on your list though.

 

[Iceternal]

What the fuck is RDR2 doing on that list ?

You forgot Avengers...

 

[Beer Baelly]

RDR2 multiplayer maybe but the sp is GOAT tier.

 

[cormack12]

Only anthem belongs on that list

 

[Ulysses 31]

Didn't Fallout 76 rise from the ashes with all the updates and new content they added thus far?

 

[Hendrick's]

1. Anthem
2. Fallout 76
3. Red Dead Redemption 2
4. Cyberpunk 2077

what was the biggest fail of them all? out of these 4?

GTFO with RDR2. You can't put that on this list.

 

[Crm114]

Forcing people to buy the Kinect , also wtf is rdr 2 doing on that list are you mental

 

[Warnen]

Avengers
No man sky
Anthem
Days gone

 

[Bkdk]

1. Purposely make female characters look ugly for many western games

2.No improvement in AI, few improvements in physics.

3. Even less developers support robust modding.

4.BioWare

I bet 1, 2 and 3 will just continue while 4 will cease to exist before the end of this new generation.

 

[CatLady]

ME: Andromeda

 

[kyussman]

RDR2?........gonna need an explanation about that one OP,lol.

 

[LordCBH]

Only two of those are an actual failure.
Replace Red Dead 2 with Mass Effect Andromeda. Replace Cyberpunk with Avengers. Andromeda and Avengers are actual failures.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Avengers/Anthem/Andromeda
AAA games indeed ;d

 

[MrS]

No lies detected

 

[YuLY]

Avengers ? Horizon at launch on PC ? Disintegration, Radical Heights, Lawbreakers etc etc

Remove Cyberpunk from that list before you embarrass yourself further.

 

[Thaedolus]

2 of these are not like the others...

 

[Tranquil]

RDR 2 is absolutely not a failure.

Cyberpunk needs more time, they rushed the release even with all the delays, although I agree it's a failure on base PS4 and Xbone.

 

[brian0057]

Wait.
What metric are we using here? Sales? Review scores? Profit? Development cost?

If we're talking bombs, there's:

• Death Stranding.
• Anthem.
• Mass Effect: Andromeda.
• Fallout 76.
• Avengers (Fuck this game and fuck Square Enix for shelving Deus Ex in lieu of this piece of shit).

 

[Woggleman]

RDR2 might have been somewhat divisive but overall it was a big success and many people loved it.

Cyberpunk 2077 a year from now will be looked at much much better when it is all patched up. They will pull a Days Gone on this game. You can quote me on that.

The other two I agree with.

Another failure is the way many gamers themselves act.

 

[Nikoran]

A little early to say Cyberpunk is a failure. And I don't even know if you could call it a failure with all things considered. Sure, It's not what some people were expecting, but I think it has had success in the few days since it's launched.

I would have to say Anthem. Fallout 76 has somewhat made its way back from the absolute shit show of it's launch, I think. You don't really hear much about Anthem today, even more so than when it launched.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

RDR2 controls like complete shit but idk how your gonna call it a failure.

 

[yunkaiza]

wtf are Cyberpunk 2077 and RDR2 doing here?

 

[Shrennin]

Avengers comes to mind. Imagine having a game with all of that IP at your disposal and still failing abysmally (while Deus Ex died for it).

RDR2 and Cyberpunk however do not.

 

[Pejo]

My top 4:

1. Stadia
2. Anthem
3. Mass Effect Andromeda
4. Lawbreakers

 

[yunkaiza]

Bigger failures that come to mind are Final Fantasy XV

 

[sobaka770]

WTF is this? In what way are RDR2 and Cyberpunk failures?

Falloiut 76, Anthem, ME Andromeda and Warcraft Reforged.

 

[Alan Wake]

I didn't enjoy RDR2 that much gameplay wise, but it's a hell of a technical masterpiece and has nothing to do on a failure list. Not commercially either, obviously.

 

[GrayChild]

1. The Witcher 3
2. Bloodborne
3. Nier: Automata
4. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Yup, absolutely terrible, all of them. Irredeemable garbage.

 

[SantaC]

Final Fantasy XV
Star ocean 5
NI No Kuni 2
Fallout 76
Any Ubisoft game
Uncharted 4
Battlefield 5

 

[Shrennin]

Mass Effect Andromeda is a good one. That one really hurt because Mass Effect is one of my favorite franchises.

At least it didn't kill Mass Effect though.

Let's just put BioWare there, actually.

Here's hoping BioWare comes back to form this generation.

 

[Fake]

Demigod of Troll Threads

 

[Captain Toad]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a failure? By what metric? That's as dumb as people saying The Last of Us Part 2 or Mario Odyssey were failures.

 

[SCB3]

If you include Fallout 76 on here you have to include No Man's Sky

But only Anthem deserves a place on this list, the rest are fine, even Fallout after the wastelanders update

 

[Shrennin]

I’ll have to give Fallout another try. I have heard it is so much better after the Wastelanders update, even heard it’s now better than Fallout 4. Not sure if that’s hyperbole though... and Fallout 4 isn’t the best Fallout anyway.

 

[Nikana]

Uhh Destiny?

 

[Miles708]

1. Anthem
2. Fallout 76
3. Red Dead Redemption 2
4. Cyberpunk 2077

what was the biggest fail of them all? out of these 4?

3 out of 4 on this list made a lot of money.
What criteria are you using?

 

[diffusionx]

Anthem is a failure, the other games you listed are just not, objectively. Fallout 76 actually sold really well, even at launch, is still extremely popular, and gets regular content updates. Andrew Wilson would kill someone to get Anthem up to F76's level.

 

[Shrennin]

Uhh Destiny?

Destiny was clearly successful, but for me personally? I can agree with this. It was supposed to be the next big game all my friends and I would play. To say it was a disappointment in that regard is putting it lightly.

 

[thief183]

So far cyberpunk is my gotg, son I don't agree

 

[ZehDon]

This is easily the worst stealth “Shit on Cyberpunk thread” I’ve read this weekend. And brother, there’s been a few.

 

[XXL]

1. Anthem
2. Fallout 76
3. Red Dead Redemption 2
4. Cyberpunk 2077

what was the biggest fail of them all? out of these 4?

 

[AJUMP23]

The biggest failure of the generation is BioWare. Mass effect Andromeda and Anthem both hit DOA. They are the biggest failures.

No mans sky was a huge disappointment but from what I read it recovered, I am not playing it though


RDR2 is an achievement. Not a failure. That is a dumb take to call it a failure.
Cyberpunk isn’t a failure either. It is fine on the PC. And will get better on the consoles.
