By the way, just wanna mention that as of the current season of Overwatch 2, characters are no longer locked behind the battle pass and are given to everyone for free like they used to be. It's honestly hilarious how several aspects of OW2 significantly improved IMMEDIATELY after Bobby Kotick left the company. You can tell that the dev team was just as eager to see him go as the playerbase, if not more so.
all things considered, ow2 doesn't really deserve the spot here. especially when you compare it to actual scams and completely garbage games, its just a pretty disappointing free multiplayer game that had some really bad press.
Oh damn, might actually have to try the game again. Gonna be honest, I never _loved_ Overwatch, but I used to have a... sorta passing enjoyment of it, I guess? Maybe one of the new characters will really click with me now that I can actually play them though
the problem wasn't the game but the company. blizzard never posted anything on steam so people could not express themselves the second they could... well
'I support global warming so Team6 studious in the Netherlands sinks faster into the ocean' Jesus christ.. This is the funniest, most creative review I've ever seen :D
As Chinese I can tell you why the three kingdoms game is the No.1, it is a simple strategy online card game but it have way too many unfair ingame purchases characters, basically as a “strategy ” game you spend $300 dollars for your account pixel and you can mostly win other players that spend less money then you. 😅 and the company keep robbing players money by updating new broken and unfair characters that easy beat up last patch broken characters. For this idiot game even people spend $10k dollars to buy characters are still going to lose to richer players as an online “strategy” card game.
@@omduggineni for example the enemy can't attack you when you don't have a card in hand, or you can know what the next 5 cards are and put the one you don't want back to the bottom of the deck.
I like how the Chinese reviewers knew that you couldn't always read their reviews...so they just made middle fingers out of text. The universal symbol of 'I am unhappy'
Sadly the other spore games have been forgotten. Such as the ds games, which were amazing. Especially the first one since it had a paper Mario like feel
For context on Flatout, the original developers, BugBear Entertainment, went on to make Wreckfest, one of the best multiplayer racing sim-cade games I’ve ever played
@htwo1 also it got confirmed that blizzard and netease made a deal to bring back blizzard games to china somewhat recently. Just to let you know. Im pretty sure they said sometime in summer itll come back.
Funny thing is War of Three Kingdoms was the worst rated game before OW2 got on steam. When OW2 get the worst game spot the WoTK community got upset so they review bombed OW2 with good rating to get their game back to the worst game spot. Then OW2 chinese players also responded by good review bombing WoTK.
@@Brittanysplittany It's not really that much about the money I don't think, more likely just the fact he doesn't want to give money to the fraudulent identity devs
Sad to see the downfall of Overwatch though... That game is still a blast to play even after years, easily in the top 5 online PvP games ever made, yet it just can't stop taking 'L's because of the absolutely incompetent leadership they have at Activision-Blizzard.
Another thing to add to the three kingdoms game, it's a super popular joke/meme in the Chinese gaming community of it being the top negatively reviewed game and no other game should threaten its 'throne'. People will often 'threaten' WTK players that they would spam positive reviews for the game and the players themselves also joke about spamming negative reviews to counter that. This is, of course, out of hatred for the developers and the fact that its a pay to win game.
War of Three Kingdoms literally takes you to the top-up page during the unskippable tutorial and walks through the entire process of putting in your credit card info and stuff. I liked the card game so when I found that they made a video game I was like hmmm what could possibly go wrong. It turns out it can go very wrong.
Mind you even cosmetics were free in OW1. You could buy loot boxes or just grind and level up (which was ez af fr) or even just play a few arcade matches and you would get a BUNCH of lootboxes very quickly, some of them even had credits so you could spend on whatever you wanted. I miss lootboxes bro
Yk why they were free? It wasn’t a free to play game and required console players to pay to play online through their console monthly. So truly you would spend just as much money just to even play the game. I’m a top 500 console and pc player from overwatch and grandmaster on both in overwatch 2 in under 2000 combined hours since 2016. Overwatch just has a shi community, it’s not a shit game. Those who hate the game are those who fell off from overwatch 1 given to new people Surpassing their skill. Just like fortnite cod or any other games. You get no cosmetics unless money. It’s free to play. As a business r they supposed to downsize their team or quality of their team? They need to make money some way and they made the game free to play so it gives more people a game to try with more of an opportunity to make money for themselves. If they didn’t make money the game wouldn’t live just like games like split gate rogue company realm royale and much more. It would just die, if people here wanna talk about greedy games go like at EA and apex then u will never cry about blizzard again. The one true thing is the fact it’s basically the same game but it’s still the game everyone loved. As a tank main while I’m at it 5v5 is also healthier for the game bc u don’t go to switch games bc in ow1 u had to wait 20 minutes to find a game unless on tank. It would lead to people switching games. Devs may not be the best, but the community is toxic as somebody who is also one of the many complainers of pve and lack of changes. Unworthy of the hate it receives

@passtheapplejuice2619 I can appreciate both in their own ways, but in cases like this (or any game/product review etc.), who'd ever prefer that over directness
I'm looking at Steam currently and have observed that Skyscraper Simulator has 13% positive reviews, making it into this video. You can do another one!
As one of the die hards command and conquer fans another reason why command and conquer 4 was so bad was because it wasn't meant to be part of the mainline c&c series and was supposed to be a online pvp spinoff for the chinese market but ea forced them to put a campaign and shoved it out as command and conquer 4
Yeah, that's actually very awesome of EA to do. It was actually well timed for someone like me since it was only a few days after it was announced RoosterTeeth was shutting down, so that softened the blow a bit.
I kinda feel awful for those devs, personally. It's not fair to them that they have to suffer from sony's momentary insanity. Especially since we all managed to make sony change their mind. Fuck.
As I diehard C&C fan, I'm no stranger to how hated C&C 4 is. Its one of those things people try to forget happened. I'm pretty sure even EA themselves are ashamed of it since it went off steam for a while. The only reason its back on steam was due to them putting the Ultimate Collection up.
I'm pretty sure at one point War thunder dipped down to overwhelmingly negative for a Month or two because of Gaijing's (the delevoping studio) ridiculous decision that recieved a huge amount of community backlash. I'd recommend looking into it, it's kind of interesting.
I hear and appreciate 25.3*N 91.7*E in the background of that OW2 segment. Chris' work for the Risk of Rain series' music has really been picking up on UA-cam recently and I'm all for it.
Honestly OverWatch 2 didn’t deserve to be so downvoted on steam, the game itself if good ever since Bob left, the dev teams are active players and community members that genuinely love the game they work for and play, and they have been doing a great job with the game. Some of the reviews aren’t even from people that play the game and people that just wanted to join the train of negatively impacting the game.
Just so you know, yes, war of the three kindoms is a really popular card game in China. Basically you get a character at the start of the game, with health bar and skills. You have actions to di each turn, like attack or defend. The game ends when the king(a random player) or enemy players are defeated and with their health bar dropped to zero. Very popular game and it's a mistake to release it as an online video game.
@@ondatra0057 this is an example of game developers making promises before even knowing how to follow through on them. And also an example of getting too caught up on trying to make a sequel to Overwatch 1
Identity can be sued no? It can't be legal right? In Europe this couldn't happen due to customer protection on false promises. Should be the same there no?
The slime rancher music in 13:20 gave me a lot of nostalgia I loved this game this was one of the bests games the sounds and musics are so good and satisfying it was an actual masterpiece I am really waiting the final version of slime rancher 2
The funny thing is, half of the complaints about OW2 could have been mitigated fairly easily. The two big complaints are "promissed PVE, did not deliver" and "I bought OW1, they took that from me and replaced it with this micro-transaction garbage." The first complaint can't be fixed without giving what they promissed. That second one though? Easy. Make OW2 F2P like it is now, microtransaction and all, BUT...create a "legacy pass" that is given to everyone who bought the original in good faith. Have the legacy path include anything that was present in the original game. In short, if you're a NEW player, you get what they have now. If you're a legacy player who paid to make the game a success in the first place, you don't don't pay a second time for what you originally had.
Um, I'm gonna guess you didn't know that they already did that. As someone who started playing in 2017 I still have everything in I used to own in OW2. That's not the issue. The issue is that I originally bought the game and could unlock every single thing inside of it through pure gameplay. There was a grand total of 3, kind of 4 but not really so just 3 things that you could only get through real money. Overwatch 2 however makes it so that MOST things are paid only, that's the issue. If you want ANYTHING new then you pretty much have to pay, paying for 4 skins in OW2 costs more than buying the original game itself.
@@kempolar9768 this is not true i have all skins on tank and half for dps i got tons of legendary skins with 0 money invested i also have battle pass for free
@@lethal3268 it was literally worked out mathematically how long it would take to unlock every legendary skin, at the time of the initial calculation we were looking at 300 years. So this is quite simply LITERALLY impossible and you are just lying. Poor poor little clout goblin.

As a Chinese, I personaly never played that digital version of 'War of Three Country' before, but i've heard a lot about the reason why so many people make bad review under, including the developer ignore all of the player's feedback, intentionaly lying to the community, but the main reason is: There is a "tradition" in chinese community that lot's of player just create as many as possible negetive review to the game(even you never played this game before), there are even people on the forum that orgnize people to go spam the negetive review on the game, because game it self is free and small, so itt is very easy to creat a negetive review. Also they will intentionally go to other "Wrost review game on steam" to farm positive review(like some OW2 player, but a lot more number), if you go search those game(especially OW2)'s review deep enough,you will probably find a lot of chinese positive review that haws no meaning or doesn't relate to the game or developer, that's probably a spam positive review from the 'War of Three Country' community to keep their game on the crown of 'wrost game on steam'
meanwhile factorio, a $35 game on the opposite end of the spectrum, spending years making sure their game has gameplay and performance of the highest possible quality the developers could put out, fixing countless bugs, _rewriting the graphics engine to be more compatible..._ and then announcing an update that will not just fix bugs that have popped up, but also implement a plethora of quality of life improvements and introduce a $35 dlc which will expand the gameplay by like 5x and introduce tons of new planets to make more mega industrial complexes on... all driven by passion and this is why i love indie games
There was one issue in your analysis of overwatch.saying that overwatch 2 release could’ve just been a moderate update for overwatch 1 is incorrect. The review bombs were not only for micro transactions but because they removed a lot of content and gameplay features. Many of which we still haven’t gotten back. After 10 seasons of ow2 now I can comfortably say that we are still at an overwatch 0.8-9 as we still haven’t gotten good features back. Let alone the fact that 5v5 is a broken and not fun format. The game went f2p but didn’t gain new players because 5v5 just isn’t good and the game lacks the polish it used to.
i can't help but think of what i heard in a video by "Rerez" about "flatout 3": the game makers actually copy-pasted tracks from their previous "shovelware" games into it! and it's "multiple game modes" were JUST those previous games crammed together! AND it didn't even have it's own music, it just played random music tracks from the user's music folder! the first time they played it, it played "nokia ringtone"!
@@jrumbo_6946 The game has been a laughing stock for years. It's sad, because I used to love overwatch back in 2016 - 2018. But Blizzard has constantly just made the game worse and worse with every update.
Here's a unpopular opinion, i think overwatch 2 was very much fine for those who didn't start with overwatch 1. My reasoning would be that, I didn't care about PVE and I didn't mind the grind ( It was very much achievable in a week if you plan your weekly missions, and now they even removed it) especially when compared to micro transactions & grind in other popular games like valorant, league of legends and genshin if you go the free route.
That number 2 is deserved by players. You should never give people free money. Kickstarter is just stupid. I can understand giving money to veterans of the industry to get games like Pillars of Ethernity but the rest is just dumb. You have an army of no ones that want money for some dreams and those idiots give them the money! Do not give free money.
Thats why i much prefer early access to kickstarter, yeah in both you are giving money for a promise that might not come true and i'm sure there is reasons for kickstarter over EA, but with EA you are always getting something, having a concrete even if unfinished product in my hands is far better to me than the promise of a product.
Crowdfunding would be nice if it was regulated and enforced criminally if you don't deliver the product after receiving monetary backing for it. Maybe if they hauled these scammer asses to jail for 10 years the next people wanting to scam their backers would think this through. Right now you can set up crowdfunding for any dumb "dream" and then rugpull your backers without any consequences. There are many such failed KS projects and only a handful of succesfull ones.
@@alewis514 yeah, the problem also is that suvirvorship bias is very strong when it comes to kickstarter since we do have things like undertale that got its funding through it and became a massive phenomenon, but the vast majority of products there go nowhere sadly.
For a moment there I read "Fallout 3" and I was like: Wtf??? Why is Fallout 3 so negatively reviewed?????? And then I realized I misread it and laughed.
The title is a clickbait. You didnt play any of the games, you just read some reviews and wiki pages... No gameplay discussion, no custom footage, no personal experience, only irrelevant drama. UPD: Ok, you actually played Identity
In reality it does, its still really fucking scummy dont get me wrong, but if you give a good product the massive amount of players that are not well informed wont even care while if its a bad product it will be an excuse to criticise the company even more. Just in case: Harassment itself is horrible and im not saying otherwise, just explaining why he say that
Made the mistake of buying C&C 4 during a sale without seeing the bad reviews or knowing anything about it. All I knew was that the C&C games before it were great so surely it had to be at least decent, right? Dear god no. Probably the worst purchase I've ever made on Steam.
I still think identity is a scam. By the looks of it, checks alot of the boxes off the list Lying about investors, Going silent about the project Making it sound like it had a big game dev Yeah its a scam

I'm looking at Steam currently and have observed that Skyscraper Simulator has 13% positive reviews, making it into this video. You can do another one!
As one of the die hards command and conquer fans another reason why command and conquer 4 was so bad was because it wasn't meant to be part of the mainline c&c series and was supposed to be a online pvp spinoff for the chinese market but ea forced them to put a campaign and shoved it out as command and conquer 4
Sucks they had so much potential with it Kane's wrath and cnc3 were such good game's

Just watched the video, and rn EA Has a Publisher sale on Steam with command & conquer being advertised and sold for 10 bucks
Yeah, that's actually very awesome of EA to do. It was actually well timed for someone like me since it was only a few days after it was announced RoosterTeeth was shutting down, so that softened the blow a bit.
Can't wait for Helldivers 2 sequel episode
I kinda feel awful for those devs, personally. It's not fair to them that they have to suffer from sony's momentary insanity. Especially since we all managed to make sony change their mind. Fuck.
As I diehard C&C fan, I'm no stranger to how hated C&C 4 is. Its one of those things people try to forget happened.
I'm pretty sure even EA themselves are ashamed of it since it went off steam for a while. The only reason its back on steam was due to them putting the Ultimate Collection up.
Bro, the terraria music kicked in while I opened up terraria 😂😂
I'm pretty sure at one point War thunder dipped down to overwhelmingly negative for a Month or two because of Gaijing's (the delevoping studio) ridiculous decision that recieved a huge amount of community backlash.

I hear and appreciate 25.3*N 91.7*E in the background of that OW2 segment. Chris' work for the Risk of Rain series' music has really been picking up on UA-cam recently and I'm all for it.
Honestly OverWatch 2 didn’t deserve to be so downvoted on steam, the game itself if good ever since Bob left, the dev teams are active players and community members that genuinely love the game they work for and play, and they have been doing a great job with the game. Some of the reviews aren’t even from people that play the game and people that just wanted to join the train of negatively impacting the game.
Just so you know, yes, war of the three kindoms is a really popular card game in China. Basically you get a character at the start of the game, with health bar and skills. You have actions to di each turn, like attack or defend. The game ends when the king(a random player) or enemy players are defeated and with their health bar dropped to zero. Very popular game and it's a mistake to release it as an online video game.
Sad you can add Helldivers 2 to the list now....
this was a very entertaining vid good job. lmao a game that scammed its sponsors where you can only interact with one object/ character is crazy
Crazy that Overwatch a hundred million dollar game is in there 💀

Meme reviews are fine, but making it a positive review when you know it should be negative isn't funny, it's a disservice to the community.
Why doesn't this have likes??
What about vice-versa
@@ovite1240 Same thing. If you want to make a joke, make it the review, not the rating. Games should be rated properly, both ways.
The funny thing is, half of the complaints about OW2 could have been mitigated fairly easily. The two big complaints are "promissed PVE, did not deliver" and "I bought OW1, they took that from me and replaced it with this micro-transaction garbage." The first complaint can't be fixed without giving what they promissed. That second one though? Easy. Make OW2 F2P like it is now, microtransaction and all, BUT...create a "legacy pass" that is given to everyone who bought the original in good faith. Have the legacy path include anything that was present in the original game. In short, if you're a NEW player, you get what they have now. If you're a legacy player who paid to make the game a success in the first place, you don't don't pay a second time for what you originally had.
Um, I'm gonna guess you didn't know that they already did that. As someone who started playing in 2017 I still have everything in I used to own in OW2. That's not the issue.
The issue is that I originally bought the game and could unlock every single thing inside of it through pure gameplay. There was a grand total of 3, kind of 4 but not really so just 3 things that you could only get through real money.
Overwatch 2 however makes it so that MOST things are paid only, that's the issue. If you want ANYTHING new then you pretty much have to pay, paying for 4 skins in OW2 costs more than buying the original game itself.
@@kempolar9768 this is not true i have all skins on tank and half for dps i got tons of legendary skins with 0 money invested i also have battle pass for free
@@lethal3268 it was literally worked out mathematically how long it would take to unlock every legendary skin, at the time of the initial calculation we were looking at 300 years. So this is quite simply LITERALLY impossible and you are just lying. Poor poor little clout goblin.
@@kempolar9768 what kind of logic is that that u should be able to unlock all legendary... good math bro congrats i guess my experience are wrong cause u said so....

As a Chinese, I personaly never played that digital version of 'War of Three Country' before, but i've heard a lot about the reason why so many people make bad review under, including the developer ignore all of the player's feedback, intentionaly lying to the community, but the main reason is: There is a "tradition" in chinese community that lot's of player just create as many as possible negetive review to the game(even you never played this game before), there are even people on the forum that orgnize people to go spam the negetive review on the game, because game it self is free and small, so itt is very easy to creat a negetive review. Also they will intentionally go to other "Wrost review game on steam" to farm positive review(like some OW2 player, but a lot more number), if you go search those game(especially OW2)'s review deep enough,you will probably find a lot of chinese positive review that haws no meaning or doesn't relate to the game or developer, that's probably a spam positive review from the 'War of Three Country' community to keep their game on the crown of 'wrost game on steam'
meanwhile factorio, a $35 game on the opposite end of the spectrum, spending years making sure their game has gameplay and performance of the highest possible quality the developers could put out, fixing countless bugs, _rewriting the graphics engine to be more compatible..._
and then announcing an update that will not just fix bugs that have popped up, but also implement a plethora of quality of life improvements and introduce a $35 dlc which will expand the gameplay by like 5x and introduce tons of new planets to make more mega industrial complexes on...
all driven by passion
and this is why i love indie games

There was one issue in your analysis of overwatch.saying that overwatch 2 release could’ve just been a moderate update for overwatch 1 is incorrect. The review bombs were not only for micro transactions but because they removed a lot of content and gameplay features. Many of which we still haven’t gotten back. After 10 seasons of ow2 now I can comfortably say that we are still at an overwatch 0.8-9 as we still haven’t gotten good features back. Let alone the fact that 5v5 is a broken and not fun format. The game went f2p but didn’t gain new players because 5v5 just isn’t good and the game lacks the polish it used to.
i can't help but think of what i heard in a video by "Rerez" about "flatout 3":
the game makers actually copy-pasted tracks from their previous "shovelware" games into it!
and it's "multiple game modes" were JUST those previous games crammed together!
AND it didn't even have it's own music, it just played random music tracks from the user's music folder!
the first time they played it, it played "nokia ringtone"!
overwatch 2 is kinda saved because BOBBY KOTICK LEFT AND THE BATTLE PASS DOESNT GIVE HEROS ANYMORE AND ALL HEROS ARE FREE
nothing can really save overwatch at this point.
@@BohrokKiller stuff can, but the negative reviews have made the game a laughing stock
@@jrumbo_6946 The game has been a laughing stock for years.

"Gamespot reviewers are smoking some unfiltered crack" 🤣💀
Here's a unpopular opinion, i think overwatch 2 was very much fine for those who didn't start with overwatch 1. My reasoning would be that, I didn't care about PVE and I didn't mind the grind ( It was very much achievable in a week if you plan your weekly missions, and now they even removed it) especially when compared to micro transactions & grind in other popular games like valorant, league of legends and genshin if you go the free route.

That number 2 is deserved by players. You should never give people free money. Kickstarter is just stupid. I can understand giving money to veterans of the industry to get games like Pillars of Ethernity but the rest is just dumb. You have an army of no ones that want money for some dreams and those idiots give them the money! Do not give free money.
Thats why i much prefer early access to kickstarter, yeah in both you are giving money for a promise that might not come true and i'm sure there is reasons for kickstarter over EA, but with EA you are always getting something, having a concrete even if unfinished product in my hands is far better to me than the promise of a product.
Crowdfunding would be nice if it was regulated and enforced criminally if you don't deliver the product after receiving monetary backing for it. Maybe if they hauled these scammer asses to jail for 10 years the next people wanting to scam their backers would think this through.
Right now you can set up crowdfunding for any dumb "dream" and then rugpull your backers without any consequences. There are many such failed KS projects and only a handful of succesfull ones.
@@alewis514 yeah, the problem also is that suvirvorship bias is very strong when it comes to kickstarter since we do have things like undertale that got its funding through it and became a massive phenomenon, but the vast majority of products there go nowhere sadly.
"Crazy Unfiltered Crack" is my new favorite saying
Mind you, in overwatch 2- if you didn’t play OW1 at all, you were literally forced to play like 60 games or WIN 30 JUST to unlock Doomfist. ONE HERO
I am pretty sure you had your wins add up and were unlocking heroes as they go
So not one hero
Doomfist + everyone alongside the way to him
and the games are so unbareable…
@@mateuszkrytyk5711no definitely not it made you pick which hero you would want to put the wins to

In reality it does, its still really fucking scummy dont get me wrong, but if you give a good product the massive amount of players that are not well informed wont even care while if its a bad product it will be an excuse to criticise the company even more.
