one of the best parts of being a
[videogame] fan is becoming a [hype] beast when it comes to a new game and
developers like to hype up their games before release to try and get gamers to pre-order as many copies as
Possible because that is proof of concept and they can show their shareholders their investors. Hey
Everybody is going to get this game however
Some developers go a little too far with the hype and end up just letting gamers down with massive expectations
That are actually never met. What's up guys Jimmy your Chaos
Welcome to Chaos top [10] and today
We're going to be counting [down] the top 10 video games that were hyped like crazy and then ended up failing for this list
We're not going to be looking at games that were overhyped but still successful like destiny or the division
But rather we are going to be looking at games that had a ton of excitement leading up to the release but then ended up
Flopping so drop a like on the video turn on notifications
So you don't miss a new top 10 video that goes up [every] day and let's get started at number 10
We have Tony Hawk ride and I know there are some diehard
Tony Hawk fans and
This one kicking off our list is a failure from the Tony hawk series some of you may not even remember this one
But the Tony hawk [games] used to be awesome from the pro skater series to Tony Hawk underground 1 & 2 and
even some of the lighter ones like proving ground in American, Wasteland
Tony Hawk games were read if you want to use that word back in the day when people use that word but Tony hawk ride
Was supposed to change everything with a new skateboard controller that allowed you to get more into the action so what went wrong?
[well] for starters the board controller didn't even work tons of boards refused to calibrate with the console and the boards did
Calibrate that did calibrate didn't even work [that] well and even if you managed to get the board working perfectly the game itself
wasn't very good Tony Hawk ride ended up being the worst selling of the Tony Hawk Franchise and
Started a downward spiral for that entire series that we are still seeing today
[I] hate putting any star wars on a negative type list video because I am a huge star Wars fan
But we have to do it [star] wars the force unleashed to the first force unleashed game was very very good
Telling the Unknown story of Darth vader secret apprentice in between episodes three and four as he set out to eliminate the remaining Jedi after
Order 66 the game allowed players to Master the Force [in] Determine if Vader's apprentice would follow in his Master's
Footsteps, or if he would shift over to the light side of the force
Naturally there was a lot of hype surrounding the sequel as there is with any star wars title
But once the force unleashed who came out?
Fans were quick to dismiss it it was basically just a five-hour hack and slash with lightsabers and some flashy Force powers the game
Isn't horrible?
It's just boring you don't really learn anything new about the universe which everybody wants to and all the combos and combat tricks wear off
within the first few missions believe it or not the Wii version of this game actually got way better reviews than
[the] Xbox or the PS3 versions due to it having a different story in
Actually having a fun multiplayer mode but overall the game performed way under
Expectations from the hype before it came out and the planned Force unleashed 3 ended up getting canned because of this
Now I went all the way through this next game
And I have mixed opinions on this at number eight we have ryse son of rome and this Xbox one launch
Title was supposed to show off the power of the new gen consoles this game was
Hyped the concept was pretty cool as it's not every day that we get games set in ancient rome and let us be gladiators
but the game was very
underwhelming awkward controls and average graphics
And it was way less than what we expected from the Brand-new next-gen consoles at the time
It's not a bad game by any means the storyline was [ok] it's a hack and slash. [I] had fun with it
It's just not what we expected to get as one of the very very first launch titles when the Xbox one was released
Every time I put this on a list I get somebody in the comments that this was a fantastic game [and] if you think so
great, but I disagree at number 7 we have homefront this game has made it onto quite a few of my
list
Gay was supposed to compete with call of Duty and battlefield in the world of FPS games
This was supposed to be the Cod killer it was everywhere
It was going to take down the call of duty franchise
but was
definitely
Not what [we] were expecting when we got our hands on it all the other story was pretty interesting the actual gameplay of the campaign
To me was lame and uninteresting due to the campaign being
Underwhelming many players didn't even give multiplayer a chance
Which is a shame because the multiplayer wasn't horrible [some] people actually liked it regardless
Homefront was a failure it did eventually get a sequel homefront the revolution
But this was received even worse than the first one
And it's not likely that we are going to get another installment in the homefront franchise
at number 6 you may know this game is final Fantasy 14 or final fantasy online and
You may notice final fantasy 14 online?
but just about everyone who has played it knows it was a disappointment rather than being a regular RPG adventure like the rest of the
Series [Final] [Fantasy] 14 was actually an mMorPg much like final Fantasy 11
but the main difference [between] 11 and 14
Was [that] 14 was really really bad?
Much like other games on this list the concept had so much promise the hype was there pre-launch
And it just was not delivered on the final product
[one] review from one up comm said it was like playing with a toy in a plastic
Bag [it] can be fun for a while, and you get the general idea
But you can't appreciate the full experience the game was also heavily
Criticized for being buggy and clearly unfinished which a lot of these titles are games file was particularly critical and said it was unlikely
To ever be fun. We always talk about the [Cod] killers
What about the Halo killers at number 5?
We have [haze] and we've seen this on a few of my videos as well
and it was marketed as the
[Halo] Killer it was supposed to be playstations answer to halo and gears of war and was finally going to give
Playstation gamers their own awesome exclusive shooter what PS3 gamers ended up getting?
However was a lame generic Sci-Fi shooter with nothing original and interesting to offer
Haze sold way under expectations and the servers have been offline for years
And I doubt we will ever see a sequel to this franchise
This may have been the most hyped game on this [list] even though it comes in at number four aliens
Colonial Marines this game was supposed to be
Amazing colonial range is one of the most hyped games of the 21st century
but also one of the most
Controversial games of the 21st century this game was stuck in development hill for the longest time and it when it was finally released
Gamers were shocked to find that the finished product wasn't even the same game that they had been shown off at E3 years earlier
That's right
The [developers] showed off a completely different game at E3 than what was actually
Released leading to massive controversy lawsuits and sega's reputation being heavily damaged the game shown off looked
amazing of course it did blending survival horror with FPS action
So, how was the game that was showed off not the game? We got well it was it was horrible
[it] was often cited as one of the worst games ever released
Thankfully Alien isolation was able to make up for this horrible Alien
Outing drop a like if you were hyped and then disappointed for this next installment at number three duke
Nukem
forever
Probably the longest development health cycle in Gaming history
[Duke] Nukem forever was released in 2011 and was in the works. [are] you ready for?
15 years after being shifted from console to console work being handed back and Forth between five different
developing teams and seeing an entire generation of systems go by
Duke Nukem forever released buggy as hell with ugly graphics unfunny jokes and some of the longest loading screens ever in [videogame] history
Ever wonder why you haven't seen a Duke nukem game in a while
well
It's because Duke nukem forever is one of the worst games ever released
Period Maybe we'll get a remaster of one of the classic Duke games some time which were amazing
But it's unlikely we'll [ever] get another original Duke nukem game. Thanks to this piece of crap. Thanks a lot. [oh]
[Sonic] had number two we have Sonic the hedgehog
2006 and how far [sonic] has fallen?
since his Glory days
There was a time where it was Sonic versus Mario
Intended to bring [sonic] into the next generation [of] consoles and reboot the series for his 15th birthday
Sonic [the] Hedgehog was released for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in 2006 after a long series [of]
development issues and was met with some of the worst reviews ever and
It was for good reason the game sucks
It had horrible graphics a [dump] story a creepy love subplot terrible physics tons of bugs
And insanely long loading screens every 5 minutes or less
sonic oh 6 is a perfect example of [how] not to make a
Sonic game really
it's the perfect example of how not to make a video game period
sonic oh 6 is one of the worst selling titles in the series and
Started a long downhill period for the blue speedster that he is still trying to recover from to this day
[ok] don't worry. I got this one right this time ok at number 1 no man's sky come on [mostly]
You knew this was coming his no man's sky a bad game. No not at all, but it is a game
we thought we were buying no not at all this game was just one giant package of
Developer lies from the promise of an amazing center of the universe to the promise of being able to find other players in the world
No man's sky is probably the most. Hype game in recent years, and it didn't even come close
To meeting any of those expectations. It's one thing to hype up your game before release that's expected
But it's another to just flat-out lie to gamers about it. Come on guys
Don't do this again
If you ever make another game there you have it my friends [cannot] super overhyped games that
Failed hopefully you guys enjoyed check out the playlist below for all the other top tens that go up
