Beastly Bash: Disappointing games of 2016!

Wow, this year has been the worst for everything from gaming as steam greenlight publishes tons of shovelware from garbage developers to death killing good stars from their depression, cancer, or what not. For most of us, it was the failed or false promises that these developers delivered on. These are the  disappointing games of 2016! Note that shovelware games are excluded because that would be a waste of everyone's time.

5 - Mighty Number 9

This is on the bottom as I knew it would be a waste of four million dollars. "Better than nothing" was the biggest understatement of how bad business can go within the gaming industry. Graphic that look like something made on a playstation 2 muddy graphics, forgettable music, and overall mediocre experience. This is one of the games that caused doubt with kickstarter games, as many other fear that the same thing could happen to other developers. When DUSK did better and with a quarter of the budget, one knows something is wrong. While there are worst games out there, wait for it to go on sale to look at it and DON'T GET IT AT G2A! So many fools have to pay for that legal mistake...

4 - Project Scissors: Nightcry 

This is one game that was under the radar since it's kick-starter has managed to reach it's goal for around three hundred thousand dollars, but from the look of things, should have been left in the oven for at least one more year. Since it's from the original developer and his company Nude Maker (Ew, I know) to make this game, it feels like they reuse models from their past porn games. Don't ask, it just looks that way as the first playable character. At least the first person to die is reboot Dante? Honestly, if the mechanics were tweaked, its camera angles where like Clock Tower First Fear, a better chapter mechanic, and a better save system, it would have been a great horror game. At least it has cheese?

3 - Street Fighter 5

Capcom, we know how painful developing a game could be at times, but it doesn't excuse leaving the fanbase starving for more content and feeding them like a neglected pet forgotten by their owner. While Capcom did release fighters for free to earn with fight money, the game itself was more of an early access by a Triple-A developer. While big game companies did this before (we're looking at you Warner Brothers!) and could have been worst, other fighting game players have to go to other games like the latest King of Fighters 14 on the Playstation 4 to get their fix. It would feel better if they managed to actually complete making their game before releasing it.  Sadly, it was released in it's unfinished launch. Now to go for a burger...Wait a minute. 


2 - Star Fox Zero 

Nintendo has no idea what to give to their fans anymore. While they're busy making the N-X, their fusion of home and portable gaming system, they shoved their forced gemic on platinum games like Nickelodeon forced them to make shovelware games. No spit that the controls is what killed the game to most critics. It's a reason third-parties didn't support your system. That's why Microsoft and Sony abandoned  their motion control because they knew it wouldn't last long. Should have focused on 3D that's a step-up from the 3DS. A 3D headset that could have thrown the Oculus Rift out into the used electronics section of a Goodwill store. Thats where I found mine for my review. I also found an old PS1 and Xbox original. Seriously! 

1 - Duex Ex: Mankind Divided

Mankind is divided alright: The game is literally broken up so that Square-Eniq having a sequel, this game has mixed reviews on the PC port, Man and Augments are fighting even though they have no reason but that of the same plot of X-men without the linking plot threads, no real punishment system in place for both lethal and none, and an ending that was somehow worse than Human Revolution that leaves more questions than answers! While they did improve the gameplay, it's to the point that it makes the game too easy like a overprotective parent bribing the kid to lose in a fist fight only to find out he was really weak after all.
