I think NMS actually redeemed themselves out of this list. It took a while, but it's legitimately a great game now.

I remember reading an article about NMS in the New Yorker ages ago, I then saw Internet Historians video recently. Kinda makes me want to get it.

1 - Halo not releasing at console Launch, along with Craig. Maybe one of the biggest blunders in all gaming fuck ups
2 - Every dam piece of woke shit in history, Andromeda, Ellie, Abby, Black Widow, Kamala Khan, everything in Inquisition, etc.
3 - All of the broken games. Launch version No Man's Sky, fallout, anthem, avengers, and some current ones too (ahem)
4 - An entire generation goes by without a Heavenly Sword sequel or a Vanquish sequel. I mean what in the actual Fuck????

DriveClub was more of a failure than those last 2.

RDR2? Wtf?

It can’t be a failure if nobody expects nothing from it. Anyone who expects something from Mario being the same (not specially brilliant) game for 25 years is delusional.

Why is rdr2 in the list?

Any game released in a barely playable state is worthy of a place in that kind of list.

Woeful take. Gameplay is dog shit for starters.

It wasn't 'in a barely playable state'. It just wasn't what people were expecting.

IMO it's Andromeda, that Avengers game, Anthem and FF XV.
I'd also say that Mario Odyssey is perhaps the most disappointing game i played this gen, but it is not a *failure*

Heh, normally I'd agree with you, if not for games being released and then so drastically turned around is really damn rare.
In fact, that's a story I know of happening only 3 times.
1 is the ChaosUT mod for Unreal Tournament 99.
2 is Final Fantasy XIV - they even worked the reboot into the story.
3 is NMS

I actually agree, I think strictly online games should get a pass, if they ever get good that is.... They're more like TV shows, who cares if Seinfeld only got good at the third or fourth seasons.... You still, have a couple of seasons of pure classics. But a movie has only one chance to be great.

I would say too that
1. Mario odyssey
were the biggest failure (to me), I hoped it would be the mario game that I again like and it would feel as fun as games on nes/snes.
but nope, game just felt depressing, boring, repetitive and somehow "empty". playing it felt like some alien would suck out the joy from me and made me sad.
Worlds were kind of boring, things were way too repetitive (collect x of y, then they are always on similar places)
I forced myself to play until the human city, but then I just could not play it and sold it.
It is praised by all fans, but I bet that no reviewer would have the guts to be open if they would hate it too.
3D marios are just lame, boring and shit.
I got game&watch mario 2020 and mario 1 is still fun to play, IMO 3D were a mistake for mario, it never were meant to be 3D so it just doesnt work and 3D mario looks fucking weird and out of the place.
I cant think any other game that would have been such a failure to me, but
2. Last of US 2
I havent played it, but I see it as a failure because of all the political shit around it, I just dont support retarded politics in games/movies, it doesnt belong into the fantasy world and facts and fiction should not mix. Biggest reason is that Neil durkman or whatever his name is, he sounds like some feminazi-agenda-lpgt-nutcase, bad PR and maybe the game is good, but if the company supports some person that says stupid ass shit and have open agenda for pushing stupid politics in his games = no thanks. Specifically when they push problems wrong way around, "lpgt" people are bullying others online and I have never seen straight people bullying them (but being gay/trans is super rare, maybe met 5 openly gays in my life and seen 2 trans person)
3. Destiny
While I played it over 2500 hours, it always felt bit disappointing, because of the super hype and the different image they gave out before the launch, like it would be more than just FPS.
then there are many games that werent as cool as I assumed, but nothing really bad.
Cyberpunk 2077 feels a great game with super potential, just few patches to go before it blooms

We're straight up ignoring so many things huh?
The One reveal and the shit-show that ensued?
Konami killing Silent hills and the fallout with Kojima?
The freaking Stadia and it's support?
EA, Activision and Ubisoft and their horrendous loot box BS?
Fallout 76' launch and continued screwups?
The new Kinect?
The Order 1776', Andromeda, etc lackluster showing?
The constant barrage of empty SJW woke crap that all virtue signal and no substance?
The fact dozens of games have been released in an incomplete state?
Dead Rising 4 and the shadow it was of it's former greatness? (my personal one)
and lets not forget this gen gave us the whiny progressive doxxer/ cancler mentality that literally split this forum up (for the better)
Just to name a few...me thinks you might need to rethink the list

There are two main failures this gen & they're not games, i.e. one is cultural, aka the insertion of politics into everything, antagonizing all sides with political gaslighting by the media ("gamers are dead" & all the Sarkeesian stuff accusing normal people of being racist sexist misogynists if they don't like agendas shoved in their face). Just look at the "other site" & how it was born or how the people over there think, i.e. paranoid culture warriors at war with everything & everyone which goes against their doctrine. It's wild.
The other failure is financial, whereby Games as a Service (GaaS) were the new golden apple for publishers. Get people addicted to one game with the intent of creating the most simple addictive gameplay loop possible (looter shooter apparently works best, i.e. where fast paced shooting is rewarded with constant loot drops which might just offer something "good") & milk them for every penny they've got with a drip, drip of content sporadically dropped on the playerbase, at a cost of course. It's dystopian stuff.
On console, Cyberpunk is probably "the" biggest game failure of the generation - definitely based on the money it cost to make & its hype.
Do PC's even have "generations"? Legit question, because it's pretty clear generations refer to console generations, so as I said, in terms of the ps4/One generation, Cyberpunk was dead on arrival. Aka a gaming dud of massive proportions. It currently sits alongside stuff like Homefront on the ps4 metacritic chart.
Embarrassing stuff.

Xbox One is biggest failure this generation.
EverydayBeast
thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Lack of traditional dungeons in this gens new Zelda, no Mandalorian game, game sizes too big, constant updates, PS5 stock, lack of exclusive shooters, Joel not being the main character.

The only failure associated with DriveClub is modernity's inability to appreciate and properly acknowledge genius.
RDR2 for sure. Anthem was just live service turd, Same with Fallout 76
But RDR 2 is something I was eagerly awaiting and what we got was pretty shallow experience with zero systemic components and really scripted structure while most of it's gameplay mechanics were half baked at best.
Grfx was great though
Cyberpunk ll be pretty great in 6 month

Naw...I'd say it's:
Fallout 76
Bioware Games in general
Halo games from 343i + Halo Infinite reveal
Cyberpunk

DriveClub was was buggy and the multiplayer was broken on release. They were supposed to provide a free version of the game with multiplayer functionality for PS Plus subscribers, and ended up delaying that for like a year. The game eventually came together, but the whole thing was a mess and ended up with Sony closing down Evolution Studios.
I mean, all patched up it became a good game, but I would still consider it a failure in the end.

Only Anthem. The other three made money. Couldn't believe how boring they could make a wannabe Iron Man game when I played a trial of Anthem.

Bioware still has that distinction with Anthem.
I feel that game was barely started before it was released.

The devs apologized for how shit the game runs. That's pretty much a failure.
