Games that are going to suck...

[ChupathingyX]

Skyrim will most likely have all the same mistakes Oblivion and Fallout 3 had. Forcing you to fight for the good guys, actually having a "good vs evil" plot and more than likely crappy dialogue.

Modern Warfare 3.

On these forums? I doubt you're going to need a flameshield. It's not like you're trashing Valve, and even that wouldn't inspire as much flame as one would expect.

My vote goes to DmC (which if I'm not mistaken was stated to aim for a 2011 release), not because I'm butthurt about the Dante redesign, but because Ninja Theory is incapable of making an above-mediocre action game.

For me, I think I can safely say Duke Nukem Forever and Skyrim won't be all that good. Portal probably won't be as good as people are assuming, but still pretty good... hm.

Duke Nukem Forever will probably just survive off of nostalgia.

That new Spyro game. Can't remember what it was called. Something along the lines of 'Skylander'.

Yup, I looked it up and it's called Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.

Youre going to need a flame bunker for the number of like minded people who agree with you. Myself included.

EDIT: While im at it, everything else by Activision this year.

Better safe than sorry, you just cannot know where or when the Fan Boy Platoon will strike from.

Ok, so Dante gets a haircut, some new clothes and dyes his hair. Its not the end of the world. Or DmC for that matter.

See? From anywhere...

IMO Homefront is gonna suck, mainly cause I've gotten sick of samey shooters.

 

[mjc0961]

So escapists, there's a large line-up for 2011, many of which I'm immensely looking forward to. But are there any upcoming titles that you think are going to be awful?

inFamous 2. The first game was one of the worst game I've had the misfortune of playing throughout my many, many years of gaming. And the second one doesn't look to be much better.

 

[Elexia]

I'm a little sceptical about Portal 2. To me it's like Leonardo Da Vinci earned so much praise with the Mona Lisa he decided to paint 'Mona Lisa 2' with a bonnet on her head and a feather boa.

It just won't replicate the success and brilliance of its original.

This seems to be full of "I don't like [insert here] so it'll be a flop." Like with the Skyrim haters. If your series has a TRACK RECORD of making GOTY with EVERY installment, you must be doing something right. My money is currently on DMC because it changed too much at least according to the trailers and most customers will buy or not according to that.
I'm deathly afraid MGS Rising will fail, 1. Because Kojima isn't involved in it, and 2. Because it's on the 360. Which means they Americanized it. I want this game to be good, but the jury's out.

Skyrim will most likely have all the same mistakes Oblivion and Fallout 3 had. Forcing you to fight for the good guys, actually having a "good vs evil" plot and more than likely crappy dialogue.

And yet they won GOTY hands down. Because people LOVED it. And from what I read, they fixed the concerns you mention. Except the good vs evil thing, but honestly it's their story.

I don't think you actually understand Zen's reasoning.

 

[BleedingPride]

i think DA 2's gonna be just fine, but Red Faction Armageddon looks disappointing


also... Jurassic Park: The Game.... worst idea ever... *remembers memory*... okay 2ND worst idea ever.

 

[GenericAmerican]

Any new Call of Duty...I swear the franchise has been going downhill since CoD2, 4 being the only good one inbetween.

 

[drosalion]

Guild Wars 2

TBH i actually don't. I havent ever played a DmC game and it might stay that way depending on how awesome this next one looks.

What good is GOTY, Betehsda games are just like the Call of Duty franchise, they're successful just because of the name and developer. If a game says "The Elder Scrolls" or "Call of Duty" in front of it, people will buy it and it will be successful. Awards mean nothing, and neither do reviews, they're just opinions from a single person or a group of people.

They're are many people, and I do mean many who hated Fallout 3 because of how much it fucked with the Fallout lore and characters. The writing was bad, the story was bland and stupid and there were so many black and white moral choices. Same goes for Oblivion which had one of the worst main quests I've ever played, the second half was basically doing the same thing over and over again.

Morrowind was better than Fallout 3 and Oblivion and if Skyrim is Morrowind with all the major problems Morrowind had fixed, then it will be good. But I doubt it considering that Bethesda get awards for bing worse than Morrowind they will continue to be worse than Morrowind.*sigh*
