5.) NBA 2K17 (2017)
Why: The game is a standard basketball game, which is something
we have all seen before. There is nothing about it that makes it stand out from
other basketball games. They added way too much attention to detail where the loading
screens become so long that you lose interest in playing. They have too many
cut scenes where you go to the barbershop or hang out with your friends and it goes
away from the actual main idea, which is playing basketball. You will honestly
probably die before the game even loads.
4.) Call of Duty: Advanced
Warfare (2014)
Why: This game is a total waste of money. I cannot believe a
franchise that I cherished as much as Call of Duty could make such garbage. When
we were all kids we dreamed of having an advanced call of duty, but they did it
all wrong. The jumping mechanism in the game leaves every player jumping every
other second, where you almost have a seizure trying to shoot someone and put your
sights on them. The zombie game type was nothing like the old zombies in the
game and makes me think they ran out of ideas with the franchise. Call of Duty
continues to go into a bad direction with their games, but this was the start
of the decline.
3.) Monopoly (PC) (1999)
Why: Monopoly has always been a great family game to play.
But you know what? Monopoly should never be a video game! I mean depending on
how stupid some of your friends and family are, there is at least some
satisfaction you get when you take their assets, but there is no fun in taking
money from a bot. The bots are very dumb too and you can cheat them very easily
and have them make irrational decisions.
2.) Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Why: Sonic 2006 turned out to be a trend in the terrible
monster the franchise had become. The game lacks in so many areas: it has a
terribly jumpy camera, lousy collision, and an uninspired story. Those are
three things that Triple-A titles should avoid at all costs. The real culprit
here, though, is the fact that Sonic just is not fun and has not been fun
since, the sequel to the game in the 90’s. If playing Sonic titles from the
past ten years or so doesn’t convince you, playing only an hour of Sonic 2006
will be more than enough reason to be suspicious of the character in the future.
1.) Dragonball: Evolution
Why: Now this one stings a little bit, considering if you
saw my recent post about how much I loved the most recent Dragonball game. I
have always loved the Dragonball series and Dragonball Evolution tried to mix
the live-action Dragonball movie with the established gameplay of the Budokai
series. The fighting aspect was not good at all, considering it took everything
that made the Budokai games great and made it a clone of its former self. And
the story mode is conveyed through static images of the actors in front of tasteless
backgrounds. Everyone knew a live-action Dragonball title would never do well,
so why a companion video game was made is a very good question that we will
never know.
