Top 5 games that didn’t live up to the hype

sportskeeda.com:

Managing the hype of upcoming video games has been a challenging task for video game studios. Exaggerating presentations from game developers often increases the expectations of fans and critics. These unrealistic expectations ultimately led to disappointment and poor sales.

Game launches have always been tricky for game developers as anything other than perfection can cause harm to the reputation and popularity of the franchise.

In order to create a buzz, many game developers often promise too much in the early stages but eventually cannot deliver.

In this modern era of pre-order culture, players pre-order games purely based on what the marketing team showcases and the hype generated in the gaming community. Sometimes this strategy does wonders, but a few faults in the game can change the scenario pretty quickly.

Here are the top 5 games that eventually disappointed the gaming community:

Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed Unity as the eighth installment of its flagship Assassin’s Creed series. A successor to the hugely successful Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Unity came with a ton of hype as the game revolved around the French Revolution.

The game is set in Paris and follows the story of Assassin Arno Dorian and his efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution. While the game captured the visually stunning city of Paris, it failed to retain the popularity of the franchise due to its weak storyline and an unnecessary second-screen app to access unlockables.

Assassin’s Creed Unity was also slammed because of its numerous graphical bugs and issues that made the game unplayable from the first day. Even though Ubisoft pushed a lot of updates to resurrect the game, it never gained much popularity.
