Starfield
Overwatch 2
Anthem
Battlefield 2042
Diablo 4
Saw a lot of hype around these duds.
2042?
Bru what?
As soon as they announced no campaign
(even if it was supposed to be a sequel to BF4) no traditional classes and that it was a hero shooter light with little to no destruction that game was practically doomed.
The BF community didnt want it, non-BF fans didnt want it, the maps were too big and sparse for the 128 players they though we wanted, Portal was literally its best mode for a while because you could kinda make classic BF in that mode.
Its in a good place now, but they basically reworked the whole game to get it to where it is.
That game most certainly didnt have hype once they actually told us what the game was......the only "hype" was that it was a sequel to Battlefield 4 basically before we knew anything about the game..........then they said ohh but there is no campaign........mate that game was panned well before release and panned well into its lifecycle, a full course correct was needed.
Wasnt Overwatch 2 widely hated by the Overwatch community because of the changes and the fact that it replaced Overwatch 1.......what hype you talking bout mane?
The promised PvE mode that never came?
But even with all the hate and it is hate NOT hype, its still one of the most played games out right now.....its not the titan Overwatch 1 was so its being dusted by Fortnite, Apex, CoD, Siege.....but its still super popular.
Diablo 4 has tons and tons of players and is rolling in dough......how is it a dud?
Watch the PS5 release of Starfield have it sitting at the top of the best seller list for the entire month if not longer.
Anthem deserved better!!!!!!!
