I was pretty disappointed with Starfield, I had high expectations for it, but I think my most disappointing gane is P5 Tactica. I love Persona 5, I love tactics games, I don’t like Tactica at all. I didn’t think the Persona 5 well would ever run dry for me, but apparently it has.

    Hogwarts legacy. Not because it was the worst game this year but because it had so much potential that it just dropped. It plays like a bunch of MMORPG devs tried to make a single player game. And falls short of what it could have been. Starfield wasn’t that hard to predict. Bethesda is far from what they were when skyrim was released and they weren’t the best back then either.

    I don’t think any have disappointed me but tbh the only game I can remember even playing this year is BG3. The times before BG3 seem so long ago and blurry.

    Oh I got NHL24 for like $20 for Black Friday and quit playing after a few hours because it was too buggy. So I guess that would be my biggest disappointment but it’s not like I expected much from it to begin with.

    Starfield.

    I love the space/NASA aesthetic. They got that down. Lots of good in this game. But it was a dissapointment in its poor exploration choices. If this game released in 2015, some of the criticism could be forgiven. But this is 2023 and with the history of Skyrim and Fallout 4 under their belt, this shouldve been so much more.

    I haven’t posted my steam review yet, but I’m thinking a tentative 7/10.

    Jedi survivor

    Loved the first one and played it twice but couldn’t even get this one to run on my PC and it doesn’t seem like they’ll keep trying to optimize it so I guess I won’t ever have the chance

    My biggest disappointment gaming wise this year was buying an Xbox.

    Like, I’m not a major fanboy for PlayStation but god damn Microsoft is failing to deliver. All of the exclusives I’ve tried have ranged from average (Starfield) to mediocre (Redfall), I’m honestly considering just selling it for credit to put towards the new Like a Dragon and FF7: Rebirth on PS5.

    To anyone considering a first current gen console. Do NOT buy an Xbox, it delivers nothing worthwhile and despite them claiming the console is more powerful than the PS5 it can’t achieve a stable framerate in any of the games I’ve played on it, games routinely look ugly and chug along.

    I’ve played the same games on PS5 and they’re consistently at 60fps and it’s night and day.

    Even GamePass isn’t that impressive honestly, there’s barely any decent games on there

    Starfield by a mile…

    It had all the depth of a Kardashian and it was soulless…

    It was like they deliberately only put in the most basic of mechanics just so they could expand them in future DLC’s.

    Take outposts, you can completely heir entire game and never have to Once build an outpost which is utterly ridiculous.

    Ship building is the same,sure it cool until you realise that you can run through the entire game using ships that you aquire via missions because the space combat AI is so basic.

    Try it yourself, just build a massive cube and put nothing but auto cannons on the top and then in fights just fly towards the enemy nice and steady.

    The enemy AI doesn’t try and stay out of range it does the exact opposite,they will always fly towards and then get obliterated by your auto cannons.

    Each of the main story line missions are boring and run by the numbers.

    The NPC’s all have the exact same head movements.

    Crafting is another one that at no point do you have touch.

    You have about 5 - 6 POI that never change in anyway, They are literally copied and pasted on each planet.

    Starfield is a 2013 game made in 2023…

    Look I’m a massive Bethesda fan, I’ve been playing F076 since launch, only a Bethesda fanboy would subject themselves to that.

    I know what Bethesda are like but damn I never thought that they would get this lazy…

    I think it’s clearly red fall. It was a priority first party game for Xbox and a very prestigious studio that made it. I think some of the other disappointing games at least delivered on what they were supposed to be
