Gollum wasn't disappointing. It looked like a low-budget game made by an inexperienced team, and that's exactly what it turned out to be. I'd say Redfall was the most disappointing because it was made a team that had previously put out very good games. You could say the same for Forspoken, it definitely looked like it had potential with the magic/parkour system and the pedigree behind it.

Forespoken hype was immense because it was first rumored to be the name of the Endwalker expansion (that’s how long ago the tease was). Thus when it was hyped as an independent title, the FFXIV fans were already on board, creating artificial excitement. Toss in the excellent Endwalker and excitement about 16, and Forespoken was being tied in with those sentiments being from SE. however, once we learned SE outsourced this to a small studio, all bets were off. It should be higher on the list, though, if only because the witting of the main protagonist’s character arc was awful. She’s as insufferable as they come.

You are mostly supposed to get upclose and personal and use your katana and the hand gun mostly. Once you get the combat down, it is pretty easy.

Yeah give it a shot. I played it at release and it was frustrating seeing the game get bandwagoned. I had a blast during my playthrough. The combat and movement is a lot of fun. I didn't feel like I HAD to do all the world map things, but they were there if I was making my way to some other point of interest. All in all it's a fun game, not game of the year, or a 10/10 or anything, but I don't regret playing through the entire story.

I wouldn't call Gollum disappointing. For something to be disappointing you have to expect something good and I dont think anyone expected this game to good.

Yeah it's true even if they've put more effort it's hard to make a good game with Gollum as the main character. When I read Lord of the Rings, Gollum is one of the characters I don't care much about, so hardly any game would impress me at all. I would prefer Tom Bombadil any day.... at least it would have been more entertaining also because almost nothing is known about him they could have made a very interesting game to that character.

Aluminum foil hat man sounds like an adult Bobby Hill.

The saddest thing about redfall isn’t the game, it’s the fact that it made the people who made Dishonored LEAVE the studio. So they’ll never be the same studio again.

Just a friendly reminder to drink plenty of water, and love yourself

So glad Redfall didn't come to PS5, saved money for Spiderman 2 Keep up the good work falcon 👍 And hi to Jake🤟

Wanted Dead is on this list?! Nooooo! I still wanna play this and Forsaken. I’ll grab both once they’re in deep sale.

I love the fact that in the Gollum devs "apologize post" they even misspell it. "The Lord of Ring: Gollum"? thought it was The Lord of The RIngs: Gollum"

Now we need the best of 2023 so far!

I feel like it’s just popular to hate and honestly people who talk bad about half of them never played more then an hour

Remember when every 90s and many 2000's games came with instruction books? Now they come with apology letters .

I actually enjoyed Wanted Dead and found it to be a pleasant surprise as my expectations actually weren't all that high to begin with.

Forspoken got killed b4 it even came out and we all know why. And Redfall the only problems I have with that game is that I wish it had open lobbies.

Hello! I'm one of the five people in the world that absolutely LOVED Forspoken, like, a lot. I'm happy I got it day one, full price, and will definitely return to it. Though, I 100% get it if people don't like it. I have a thing for 'bad' games. Anyway, love you guys, keep at it 💪

@@AnimeCatDad I agree. Like it's not the best thing ever but it isn't the worst either. I ended up returning it after I finished it because it wasn't worth full price to me, but I would definitely buy it on sale again in the future. The story was good for awhile (even if Frey made me roll my eyes quite often with her attitude) but kinda falls flat towards the end but I get that because apparently the writers were forced to re-write the story last minute. So ya know, for having to rewrite it quickly last minute it's passable.

Forespoken should've been given way more time. It looked like one of those games that could really show off the capability of next gen gaming, but it ended up not even being a finished product.

I had a lot of fun playing Forspoken. It's a perfectly okay game and there was nothing else really going on at the time. The movement and magic were great. Like I wish another game would adopt the magic system and push it further with a stronger narrative. There's a great game that could rise out of Forspoken's ashes, I'm sure of it. I'd give the game a 6.5/10 probably. It wasn't too long to beat and was fun while I played, so mission accomplished.

You just make a little mistake. The Arkane who did redfall are actually Arkane Austin, the Arkane who did Dishonored/deathloop/prey are the french studio Arkane founded in the city of Lyon. Both belong to bethesda but Arkane Austin is just a secondary studio. 😉

I only played Redfall once, but I had a real romp with it, honestly.

I love how everytime I see forspoken gameplay it’s from the first hour of gameplay lol nobody cared to go further and see how good the combat and world is

Kerbal Space Program 2. KSP might be my all time favorite game. With all the delays and behind the scenes problems with KSP 2 I had already dramatically lowered my expectations. It failed to even meet that.

I would argue that Crime Boss: Rockay City Has a lot of potential to be fantastic. The core of the game is a turf war and you run heists to make money to run your turf war. The thing that makes Crime Boss disappointing to me as someone who actually likes the game, is that the turf wars get overwhelmingly difficult. The controls are a bit janky on PC as well. That aside the game is actually fairly decent to be honest and the big name actors make it fun on another level.

This was a great video i I didn't even know about a few of these but they definitely looked super underwhelming for sure.

I didn't play many of the games on this list, but I did play Forespoken. The only issue I had with it was the repetitive lines during combat.

I think it's been said, but Gollum should definitely not be #1. I mean, really, who was disappointed by it? I don't even know a single person who even knew that game was coming out, let alone be excited for it. Redfall is a better description of disappointing, as people actually expected a lot from Arkane, and XBOX was actually touting it as its next big thing.

When Falcon acknowledges Jake, almost feels like it's breaking the 4th wall.

I feel like we all collectively forgot that Callisto Protocol exists and how the Dead Space remake made it obsolete a month after its release while costing less

I actually enjoyed Forspoken's traversal, had a good time zoomin around the map.

I feel like FF16 had the same sort of vibe as forespoken pre-release, lots of awesome particle effects from magic, combos, element control, next gen content, even a demo. The difference is one worked out and the other sadly didn't.

Gollum wasn't disappointing for me cause I expected it to be bad. There was no way they could make a good game out of that story. Any other character would have been fine. A Legolas game would have sold like crazy. Stealth archery turns into badass archery turns into blades. Sick.

Gollum in #1 was surprising, not because it didn't deserve it, but because I completely forgot this game even existed...

He and the rest of the crew are all perfectly suited for what they have been doing for years which is why they are the best channel for video game info IMO

How can Gollum be considered a disappointment? We knew it would suck a looong time before it came out lol
