welcome to watch mojo and today we'll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
games that divided fan bases
tonight this stinking city will be
purified by flames
for this list we'll be going over the
video games whose subject matter
gameplay and other features proved
polarizing among new players
and long time fans if there are some
divisive games we forgot
please be sure to argue about them with
other fans in the comments
but be nice number 10
super mario sunshine
the 3d mario games have all been almost
universally praised
with one exception super mario sunshine
has been praised for its precise
controls
innovative movement options and
interconnected resort themed world
however its detractors dislike how
linear and homogeneous it is compared to
other 3d mario titles
as well as numerous abrupt and
frustrating difficulty spikes
[Music]
the central flood mechanic also proved
polarizing with some
appreciating how it could augment
mario's movement while others considered
it a shoehorned gimmick
but whether you consider sunshine a
tropical paradise
or the vacation from hell it's still a
decent game
even if you don't think it's a good
mario game
[Applause]
[Music]
number nine bioshock infinite
a mind-bending entry in the bioshock
franchise
bioshock infinite has proven as
polarizing as its politics
its critics insist that it's a step down
from its predecessors
frequent gripes include having fewer
choices in how to play
with everything from fewer weapon
customizations to linear levels to a
lack of consequences for story decisions
look at these they're amazing which ones
you like more this one
or or this the bird is beautiful and
the cage is sombre but there's really
something special about it
features present in the e3 trailer not
being present in the game certainly
didn't help either
however proponents cite infinite's
compelling story
gorgeous setting and memorable
characters as reasons it stands
alongside the rest of the series
who's right well like the flying city
it's set in
we feel it's up in the air i never find
that as satisfying as i'd imagined
chin up there's always next time i
suppose there is number eight
final fantasy 13.
given how long it's been going on the
final fantasy franchise was bound to
have some entries that split fans
and final fantasy 13 was just unlucky
enough to be
the one fans can agree on the most it's
admittedly gorgeous graphics haven't
stopped many from deriding other
aspects
[Music]
13 reached unprecedented levels of
linearity for the series
with the illusion of choice in its
progression grid and
literal hallways making up much of its
map the poorly explained
world-building and irritating characters
are other gripes
plus the fact that you can coast through
most of the game on auto battle
still for how split the fans are on this
game it did get a few sequels
so it does have its defenders i don't
even know you
but you have to go and attack that thing
just leave me alone number seven
fallout 4 get the suit you can rip the
minigun right off the vertibird
do that and those raiders get an express
ticket to hell
you dig fallout 4 debuted to much hype
and fanfare
however while everyone agrees that it's
a perfectly competent bethesda action
rpg
trademark bugs and glitches
notwithstanding plenty of the fans have
taken issue with some changes made to
the previous game's formula
who are these people just folks looking
for a new home
a fresh start i've been with them since
quincy
in trying to make the game more
accessible some felt fallout 4 removed
features that had made the prior games
so beloved
such as more self-determination and how
to approach the story
as well as other role-playing elements
although the disappointed fans probably
agree that it's better than the
wasteland it's set in
fallout 4 still elicits nostalgia for
the style of earlier titles
[Music]
number six death stranding
want to come work for me it must be
tough out here on your own
yeah i thought fragile express had
plenty of people
plenty of traitors in fairness to death
stranding
no game could probably live up to the
hype of being known as hideo kojima's
much delayed passion project although
the cinematics and acting received
praise from almost all
the story and gameplay proved more
polarizing with many calling it
glorified walking simulator
it's certainly a departure from his
previous work which was more action
oriented for every person who thinks
kojima is a genius
there's someone else who thinks he ought
to be put on trial for not cutting that
awful princess beach line
yeah like mario and princess beach
number 5 batman arkham knight
[Music]
the batman arkham games are to superhero
games what dark knight is to superhero
movies
and like the third installment in that
series arkham knight proved a divisive
finale
while the core gameplay and story have
generally been praised
some found parts of the story
predictable and one major aspect of the
gameplay drew criticism
the batmobile
we lost one sir he's making you look
like a bull
what would normally be a tool for the
caped crusader is instead a requirement
for large swaths of the game
which many found grating it may not have
finished as strongly as some would have
liked but arkham knight is definitely
still worth playing
even if we still don't know why races
are considered riddles
number four the legend of zelda skyward
sword
[Music]
although the legend of zelda the wind
waker was also divisive upon release
over time most people have come around
to it not so much this entry in the
franchise
at least not as much skyward sword is as
great a game as you could want
with the unique world set above the
clouds a beautiful art style
and a lot of fun gameplay but many felt
like it was a step
backward for the franchise
[Applause]
it's amazing world felt empty the bosses
felt repetitive
and the most common complaint the poorly
implemented motion controls
skyward sword reached for the skies but
a lot of fans felt it didn't manage to
get that high
[Music]
number three assassin's creed origins
and assassin's creed odyssey this is big
layla do you really think it's the spear
this is the one
the book was almost right on top of it
i've never been so lucky in my life we
don't usually do
two in one entry but both of these games
were just so divisive
that we honestly couldn't choose between
them both games featured a greater
emphasis on
rpg elements which were a hit with some
but a step down from the action-oriented
roots of the series for others
continuing bugs as well as unsatisfying
combat
are also complaints made about both
perhaps most notably
origins and odyssey each de-emphasize
stealth
which some fans took as a betrayal of
the series premise
although valhalla has tried to bridge
the two camps
time will tell if this fractured fan
base will heal
the gods themselves
number two super smash brothers brawl
[Music]
[Applause]
every super smash brothers game is
generally seen as
exceptional in its own way but if
there's a black sheep of the bunch
it's definitely brawl although it's
expansive and cinematic single player is
fondly remembered
as are several of the new features
aspects of its gameplay were seen as a
downgrade from its immediate predecessor
[Music]
the combat is often seen as being
floatier and less precise
the final smash ultimate moves were also
divisive
there are two things of the game that
casuals and die hards can agree on
though
meta knight is straight up op and
tripping is garbage
[Applause]
[Music]
before we get to our top pick here are a
few other honorable mentions that
divided fan bases
diablo 3 a bungled launch and a
potentially watered-down experience has
plagued this entry
they must wait longer pokemon sword and
shield
a linear map missing features and cut
corners make some fans want to
stab these games
metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty
a switch in protagonists and some long
cutscenes have fans divided
my name is pliskin iroquois pliskin
lieutenant junior grade
halo 4 a new studio and controversial
story choices made many fans
balk at the new direction wake up chief

number one the last of us part two
this is yesterday yesterday yep
what are y'all doing out this way i'm
just passing through
the most recent game on our list the
last of us part two
is a divide that still hits fresh while
its gameplay is as highly praised as the
first game
with some improvements the story and
characters are where it split everyone
down the middle
the game's depiction of a transgender
character was predictably controversial
but what truly set the internet on fire
was the fact that a primary character is
murdered
this alone would probably have been
divisive yet on top of that
players are forced to play as the
murderer and asked to empathize with
them
for a lot of players this was the last
straw for the last of us part two
if it was me
i'd want you to do the surgery in the
mood for more awesome gaming content
