You’ve probably already guessed that the issue is the ending but as terrible as it is I think a lot of people forget that it was actually worse at launch.īefore they patched it with an update, to make it slightly less terrible, it was an even bigger kick in the teeth. My actual choice though is Mass Effect 3, which might seem a bit odd because in general I do like it.
Except to say it’s shocking how quickly CD Projekt used up every once of goodwill they got from The Witcher 3. Ahh well, I’ve still got Project CARS 2.Ĭyberpunk 2077 is the obvious example for this but since I waited for the reviews I didn’t end up getting it, so I can’t actually speak from personal experience on that.

I would love to see a Project CARS 4 going back to the series roots. It may even be the death knell for the series, who knows as in the past year or so Slightly Mad Studios have been bought by Codemasters, then Codies bought by EA, and then founder Ian Bell left. Physical copy sales were 80% odd lower than Project CARS 2 apparently. I haven’t bought it, and it’s interesting that the league I occasionally race in still uses Project CARS 2, no one bought PlayStation 3. No pit stops, no tyre wear or fuel usage, no damage, none of the things that make a car game a sim! The move to a more arcade handling model (surely already well served) disappointed. And to make it worse, the model they used meant progress was really slow. The thing I really didn’t want… you have to buy and modify cars to make any progress! They removed what made the series so great! That ability to just….
The track list is shorter than the previous games – with two key circuits, Spa and Monza, missing. The reviews appear and my worst fears are realised. The build-up didn’t look good, less sim more arcade. Project CARS 2 refined and improved on this, with things like dynamic weather. The best part? No unlocking or modding of cars – all cars and tracks are available from the start and other than set-up changes (downforce, gear ratios, that kind of thing) none of the modding that other more arcade racers have (it’s great for Forza Horizon, I just don’t want it in a proper racer). I’m a huge fan of the Project CARS series, the first was a great game, with a great handling model and a fantastic selection of cars and tracks. Maybe it therefore doesn’t count, I will let you decide. I will, however, still always read the reviews, so the game in question has actually not been purchased by me. There is one exception and that is racing games, these I will get on release. I’m not fussed about playing day one or often even year one! I will also always read reviews before getting a game so I’m not normally disappointed. I will normally wait until they have been patched, bugs ironed out, and prices drop. I’m not normally one to buy games at launch. In more recent years I have held off buying games at launch until I knew there were no major issues, unless from a developer with a track record of releasing finished games. Lords Of Shadow had no technical issues I can recall, and I am not particularly tolerant of very buggy releases. I can’t pretend to feel too misrepresented though, as many mentioned that it was a reboot and the God Of War influences (though in a more positive way then I found them), but I was not prepared for how mediocre a game this would end up being. As I moved forward in the game, I found it a boring trudge and disliked it so much I never even bothered completing it.įrom memory reviews in general were positive, and many speak of it well to this day and focus more on how bad its sequels were. The game felt like all the essence of the series, which had survived fine in Iga’s Metroid style games, was completely gone, and in its place was a bland workman-like 3D action game keen to borrow from others with no ideas or identity of its own. And much as I love Patrick Stewart, the plot, and his narration of it, really did nothing for me. However, when I came to play it I soon realised that I didn’t much care for the derivative God Of War style combat, and was even less impressed by the awful fixed camera areas you’d get at times.

I had excitedly picked up the game, full of anticipation at the prospect of a big budget 3D-vania. Both games are not broken in any way, from what I experienced, but they were both underwhelming.įor me, the most disappointing I’ve been with a game launch would be with Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow.
It’s a good concept but not executed well and I had to stop playing it.
