    Sega's incompetence with the Sonic series circa 2006-07 is truly baffling. In the span of four months, they released:
    - A completely broken mess widely considered one of the worst games of its generation (Sonic '06)
    - A completely broken port widely considered one of the worst port jobs ever (Sonic Genesis on GBA)
    - A nearly unplayable mess widely considered to have some of the worst motion controls ever seen on the Wii (Secret Rings)
    Like, everyone always talks about how bad that era was for Sonic, but no one ever remembers that they released *three* absolute stinkers in almost as many months.

    8:10 There was more behind the scenes than just Yuji Naka leaving Sega. Nintendo announced the Wii and Sega was like, "I gotta get in there!" So they pulled a good chunk of the dev team from Sonic '06 to make Sonic and the Secret Rings. And it wouldn't be the last time that happened

    What was even worse for Sonic ‘06 is that the dev team was split in half so that one team worked on the game while the other worked on Sonic and the Secret Rings because Sega knew a game for HD consoles like Sonic ‘06 couldn’t be ported to the Wii. Which made it lose more of the few resources than it already had.

    The thing about the Steam returns, the only reason that the rest of The Day Before wasn't returned, is probably because the buyers didn't have the time to try it until roughly a month later, or tried to find something to like about the game and wound up going past the one hour mark. Steam's return policy is absolute crap, which is why I usual pirate the game first to 'demo' it, before I decide to hit ignore or buy it for myself in support of the developers for a good product. If steam had a more comfortable playtime gate before returns were denied, or demos weren't locked behind a timer on events like Steamfest, I'd be less inclined to do such practices.

    Dark Souls 2. I could just say that following Dark Souls 1 is enough of a handicap. But there’s so much about its development struggles, that it’s a miracle a game that rivals the rest of the series in quality even exists.
    Just to point out a few problems, one is that the series’s creator was put on a separate project. Bloodborne and DS2 were made at the same time. Plus, the best talent went with Miyazaki. So DS2 got what’s been dubbed “The B-Team”.
    The kicker is that halfway through development, the Director got the boot, and new one installed, but their deadline stayed the same. So besides having to practically start from scratch, they had half the time. They used what they could, but weren’t happy about it.
    The topper is that the game is a love letter to Demon’s Souls and DS1, made by super fans, in homage to, but not copying Miyazaki. In having its own identity, it got trashed for not being Dark Souls 1.5.
    In the end, the game is the series Black Sheep. Innumerable videos trash it. New players to the series put out content like, “Playing the most hated souls game for the first time, to see if it deserves all the hate.”
    Honestly, it’s my favorite. I think it did the impossible. It stayed true to the vision, but needed to not copy it, and somehow created a game surpassing what the creator could do.

    Duke Nukem Forever had promise starting out and for a bit there it could've been another hit for the brand.
    But because of a over ambitious head that was on this crusade to make Forever as revolutionary as 3D they kept adding in features to the point of Feature Creep was very common and lead to multiple restarts in the project hurting team morale very highly that went from evidently from a team that was really passionate to just want to see their project out the door.
    I would love to see the Duke Nukem IP rise from the ashes with a new game that doesn't suck, however due to Forever heh forever tainting the brand and Gearbox owning the IP which they've held hostage for years it's unlikely we'll get to see a comeback, it's surprising given the rise of Boomer Shooters lately with most of the iconic ones being given legendary comebacks because of it, Duke is one of the few that's missed the party and should at least try, it's a matter of getting the DN rights from Gearbox and especially Randy Pitchfart.

    And there is a lot of evidence that Sony plans to make it a free to play game with microtransactions. Not many people are going to play the game even if it's free and for a live service hero shooter that means death, so it's going to fail again

    Sonic 06? Nah, you want doomed to fail? Look at Sonic Chronicles. Bioware's contract with Sega ended mid-project and they noped out of the whole thing while it was still in beta, forcing Sega to salvage what they could and release it as-is. And if that weren't enough, Sega legally cannot even acknowledge the game's existence (and thus cannot do anything to preserve it or make it accessible) due to a Ken Penders lawsuit that Penders nearly won. Sonic 06 was merely a rushed game in the end. Chronicles was a rushed and abandoned game not even allowed to exist any longer.

    In the end skull and bone should have stayed a black flag sequel or expansion

    The Day Before is the only actually bad game on this list. Should have swapped out Duke Nukem or Sonic 06 with Big Rigs: Over the road racing, you can't even finish that game.

    Any number of Amazon's game studio games. Amazon can't develop good games? Cue shocked Pikachu face. The only shock, really, is how this was the one corner of the market Amazon COULDN'T dominate...or is that ironic? Mmm...both...I'm gonna say both. XD
