ITT games that were marketed as "the next big thing," were hyped up for months up to release, and then were completely forgotten about a week after launch.

ITT: Ubisoft games

Any recent Ubi games, really. Dragon Age Inquisition and The Old Republic, to a certain extent too. The Last of Us has pretty much dropped from the face of the earth too.

I don't think anyone really believed Syndicate would be the next big thing.

Shit I forgot that part
Well..The Division then. I'm almost certain that it'll have the same fate as Watch Dogs.

Evolve general?
>>
The Witcher 3

>>321648848
Well, Watch Dogs came out and everyone's already deflated their hype for The Division and anything Ubisoft.

Ubisoft apparently still intend to make more Watch Dogs games.

Don't forget that the first Assassin's Creed game was not well received either but they managed to make that into something. Ubsioft have said they never expected Watch Dogs to be huge straight away, they just wanted to "establish the brand" first then begin making money with the sequels. Same as they did with Assassin's Creed.

Biggest disappointment of the generation
>couldn't just remake Battlefront 2 with pretty graphics and slightly better gameplay mechanics
>not even as fun as Bad Company 1
>>
>>321649315
Can't believe I ever going to say this but
Watch dog just need better story and car control and they are gold.
I actually like the gameplay
>>
>>321649378

It's actually fucking great, but it didn't release on the brostation4 so those who haven't played it think it's shit.
>>
>>321649763
trill shit nigga

>>321649315
The problem is that Ubisoft are making most of their titles buggy ass creed reskins with a ton of advertising to back them up

At best watch dogs 2 will be a bit more polished but it'll play the same as the first

>>321649574
>DMC4

Was it really like that to this game? did they really hyped it that much?

There's hype revolving around it though it doesn't achieve meme tier hype.
Those small campfire hype disappear few days after release.
>>
>>321650104

Once they got over the technical achievements people began to talk about how it's actually a pretty dull, repetitive game. No one was recommending it to anyone shortly after release and it also got a huge price cut which leads me to believe Ubisoft was concerned not enough people were playing it to establish the franchise for the dozen sequels they had planned.

Assassin's Creed 2 was the game that was extremely well received. Even /v/ loved that one. I don't know why, I thought Assassin's Creed 2 was just as boring as the first.

>>321648181
Every multiplayer focused shooter in the past year or two.
Evolve, Titanfall, Destiny, Battlefront. Every. Single. One.
>>
>>321651671
Titanfall is a great game. It's good stupid fun, and it's balanced.
>>
>>321648401
Ubisoft games would be more remarkable if they had proper optimization and didn't stutter every 3 minutes.
>>
>>321648181
The thing about watch dogs is the build that leaked early was not the final retail build. Most people here pirated the unfinished version and then shat on it.
The game deserved to be shat on because it sucks, but not because of problems in a version that wasn't even meant for public consumption.

>>321648181
I remember the hype around Diabolo 3 and all these fucking 9gag memes....
