Which are the worst offenders? For me, it's Invisible War

this game was good
stop parroting youtuber opinions idiot.

>>719173802 (OP)
i played invisible war before deus ex and thought it was a good game, just different from deus ex

>>719173892
Not OP but it fucking wasn't you retarded subhuman. If anything "Invisible War was akshually a good game, just not a good Deus Ex game" is an opinion so pants-on-head retarded that it could only have come about a decade after the game was current. Either that or from the mouths of babies who played the game on their daddy's Xbox and feel a perverse nostalgia for it. Either way, Invisible War is absolutely unplayable dogshit, with or without the original to compare it to.

Now Thief 3 actually was pretty unfairly maligned, though still nowhere near the first two. Thief 4 is Invisible War-tier.

>>719174119
not reading your youtuber drivel
try playing the game for yourself retard

>>719173892
it was nearly as dogshit as your post

>>719173802 (OP)
bethesda redditors will still defend this raped version of the franchise and say the tv show was good even though it's just as shit as Halo

>>719173892
Nah. Levels were way way too small because of the console focus

>>719173892
Universal ammo was ass cancer

i was thinking this morning that NG resonance is basically an AI vtuber
we really are living in the future

>>719174298
heard they improved it a lot since launch but was the base game too bad to be saved?

I played it at the time, it was okay. Was never going to match the OG.

civ 7 has zero excuses for what they did

>"wat utuber gave it 2 u??"

>>719173892
it's dogshit

>>719173802 (OP)
Half-Life 2. I've never been so disappointed in my entire life. Dogshit gameplay, dogshit setting(from cold war era Black Mesa facility to... random European town 17?), dogshit "characters"(who are all retcons from the original game. BARNEY WAS JUST A DEFAULT SECURITY GUARD IN THE ORIGINAL. HOW HE'S JUST 1 GUY?????). Valve infuriates me. Also, the Source engine is fucking dogshit and all the physics puzzles in Half-Life 2 drove me nuts. The entirety of the 2nd game is just a tech demo for the Source engine.

>>719174119
No he's right, and Human Excrement was the Thiaf of Deus Ex.

Gaylo 4 and everything that came after
Splinter Cell Conviction and Blacklist
Hitman Absolution
Bioshock Infinite
Payday 3
Resident Evil 5 and 6
Duke Nukem Forever
Dishonored DOTO (and even 2 desu)
Dead Space 3
Wolfenstein 2 and Young Blood

>>719174526
it's mmo slop with the overly wacky non serious tone thats more like borderlands than fallout, ever since 4 it's just been getting worse and worse. Nothing about bethesda fallout has been new or interesting just regurgitated shit from the last games too
>BUH IT'S ALWASY BEEN WACKY SINCE FALLOUT 2
yeah the enclave shooting women and children after opening vault 13 from the intro was hilarious

Battlefield V after masterpiece that was BF1

>>719173892
It was good. Not as good as Deus Ex, and a pain to get working. But good. I enjoyed it more than HR to be honest.

>>719173802 (OP)
Tried playing this on PC and it soft locked me by crashing any time I tried to exit a room. Couldn't be bothered to restart the game so I never finished it.

Dark Souls 3

>>719174742
>Duke Nukem Forever
fuck i forgot that actually released, time to check it out

>>719173802 (OP)
No More Heroes 3

if you disagree you're the problem with the industry today

>>719173892
You don't have to be a contrarian faggot. You could just not do that.

You are parroting the "this objectively dog shit game is underrated" Youtuber opinion

>>719174706
Nope, it was kino, and was seen as such when it came out. It completely blew Doom3 out of the water which was an actual shitty sequel.

>>719174706
i was initially impressed but the gameplay really doesn't hold up, not sure i'd call it dogshit though

>>719177883
The main weapon in Half-Life 2, the submachine gun, is absolute garbage. In before "lol I used [insert weapon here] for almost the entire game!". No, you didn't.

>>719173892
>Story is a complete hackjob ripoff of the first one where characters act completely unlike they did in the first game and the story even spoils itself with the absolutely retarded coffee shop thing.
>Small as fuck areas
>Universal ammo
>Absolutely no thought put into any play style. It's easiest to just go in guns blazing and even that is really boring.
>Game is short as shit

>>719173892
fpbp

Flatout 3. This one takes the fucking cake. F1 and 2 are great games but they handed the franchise to another dev, who turned it into an absolute shovelware.

>>719173892
It certainly has a better understanding of what makes a good cyberpunk world/story than dogshit divided.

>>719174706
>the Source engine is fucking dogshit

>>719174706
Both were shit for normies and casuls.

Probably not the most offensive example but in retrospect, this was a huge letdown.
>Gameplay is worse: every enemy takes ages to kill and movement feels stiff and awkward. Compare it to 2's very fluid, responsive, and quick controls.
>The plot is genuinely retarded and it felt like the writers took every wacky idea they could think of and threw them in a blender.
>The missions are generally crap and at times, frustrating, despite some impressive setpieces.
>The side activities are worse, but now they're optional so, good?
>Upgrades are worse: you just buy them now rather than them being rewards you get for the side activities.
>The city in 3 feels like it was randomly generated. Compared with the very purposefully made city in 1 and 2, nothing is uniquely identifiable and it all just blurs together.
>Character customization is cut down compared to 2
>No unique cribs
>Stores heavily cut down; now there's only one general clothing store, only one weapon shop, no truck customization store, and no restaurants or nightclubs.
>Dedicated grenade buttons suck, especially when the animation to throw one is a solid second long.
>The tracklists on the radio stations are generally bad.
>Overall manages to completely miss the point of 2 and Flanderizes it, focusing heavily on the wacky part without the care, nuance, and contrast to make it work. 2 was comparatively grounded and even gritty in places, which made the wacky parts stand out alot more. 3 is one-note and suffers for it.
>It's a sellout both in and out of universe. It's not a coincidence that this is the game where The Saints went from gangsters to celebrity icons with product placement and their own line of trendy clothing stores. Both in and out of universe, The Saints became less nuanced in order to have more broad, popular appeal.
3 isn't genuinely bad, the way SR2022 is, but the fact that it followed up from 2, one of the best games of the 7th generation, makes it's mediocrity more galling.

>>719174119
Thief 3 with the sneaky upgrade is good. Deus Ex 2 is just unsalvable.

>>719173892
>Was it good?
Wouldn't say that.
>Was it fun?
Yes. I enjoyed the smg flash bang mechanic.
>Did it had the same atmosphere, writing, and tone of the previous game?
Hell no.
