15 Games That Disappointed You In 2015

Every gamer have had this problem, they have waited for a title for several years only for it to be a disappointment. 2015 had its fair share of games that were a disappointment, failed to live up or were just total crap.

The Games That Were Either Meh Or A Disappointment

These are the games of 2015 that were either over-hyped, had a lot of promise or were suppose to continue a legacy but ended up being a total disappointment.

15. DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition

Wikipedia

DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition is an HD version of one of the most controversial games. DmC: Devil May Cry created such friction with the community that mentioning its very name erupts into a civil war among gamers. So one has to wonder what is Capcom thinking by re-releasing one of the most polarizing games on Next-Gen consoles.

14. Mad Max

Mad Max wiki

Mad Max could have been a good game but instead became a movie tie-in that is pretending to be a real game. Compared to Fury Road along with other post-apocalyptic games, this one felt really dull.

13. NBA Live 16

Wikipedia

NBA Live 16 is that other basketball game that came out during the Holiday Season (the one that is not NBA 2K16). Unlike 2K16, Live 16 is your standard EA game that offers very little of a gameplay experience. Thank god EA Sports has no exclusive deal with the NBA.

12. Need for Speed

Another attempt by EA to reboot the franchise by once again trying to make it feel more like wither The Fast and The Furious or Grand Theft Auto. The game tries to reclaim the sprite of the Underground games but fails to live up to its past success.

11. Batman: Arkham Knight (PC Version Only)

Batman wiki

While the console version brought closure to the series, the PC version just didn't work. After working several months to fix the problem, Rocksteady Studios just gave up on the PC version.

10. Evolve

Steam

Evolve is one of those games that had an awesome premise but a very poor delivery on the developers part. There mistake was selling half a game then expected gamers to pay an extra $150 for the DLC's. In no time most gamers just ended up forgetting about this gimmick.

9. Star Wars: Battlefront

Wookiepedia

Star Wars: Battlefront has the same problems as Evolve only there were higher expectations. This is EA's first test to see if it could make a Star Wars game and so far it's the best-case scenario of being a mediocre title that is not broken. Given that gaming has changed so much since Star Wars: Battlefront II was released in 2005, it's kind of embarrassing that the best EA could make is a Battlefield game with a Star Wars theme and little content.

8. The Order: 1886

Wikipedia

The Order: 1886 was promoted as one of the most highly anticipated PS4 games of 2015 only for it to disappoint gamers. The game is set in an alternative 186 were the Knights of the Round Table have been fighting a war between werewolfs and vampires. While the story was great but many felt it lack replay value while the gameplay felt too much like an interactive story.

7. Call of Duty: Black Ops III

Call of Duty wiki

An icon for having redefined the shooter genre, it appears Activision needs to seriously reconsider its strategy of "don't fix it if it ain't broken" as Call of Duty: Black Ops III bring nothing new to an evolving medium.

6. Five Nights at Freddy's 4

YouTube

Yup, there is a fourth game in a series that was only released in 2014. Scott Cawthon really knows how milk a franchise faster than Activsion.

The Games That Were Just S***!

Some games were over-hyped, others offered little, some just need to give up and then there are the games that were just awful. These special five are without a doubt the worst games of 2015.

5. Primal Carnage: Extinction

Steam

Primal Carnage: Extinction is one of those games that tried to cash in on the success of Jurassic World and ARK: Survival Evolved. However the only thing it shares with these hits are the presence of dinosaur and not much else.

4. Godzilla

Godzilla wiki

Those who remember playing Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee were hoping to for a similar experience. Sadly gamers got a Godzilla experience that was on par with the 1998 movie that featured Zilla.

3. Hatred

Hatred could have been a unique and groundbreaking experience had it been released anytime from 1999 - 2004. On the surface, Hatred is suppose to be a dark and gritty game that puts players in the role of The Crusader as he embarks on a personal purging. However, everything about it was built on hype while the game has many bugs and gameplay problems.

2. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5

Wikipedia

Another attempt to revitalize the series, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is another disappointment from a franchise that peeked on the original PlayStation. From glitches to dated graphics, there is nothing redeemable about this game.

1. Angry Birds 2

Stan Rezaee

Five years after Rovio Entertainment established mobile phones as a gaming platform with Angry Birds and followed by milking their cash cow dry, here is the long awaited "sequel". This is less of a sequel and more of another one of the countless spin-offs with a new coat of paint along with a few trinkets (seriously even Activision puts more effort in Call of Duty).

Overall, it will only appeal to the most hardcore casual game fans (if any actually do exists) while the rest of the causal hoards are playing some other freemium title as they are reminded of their lower status in the gaming world by the Nobel Console Gamers and the Glorious PC Master Race.
