10 Video Games Fans Love To Hate

10 Video Games Fans Love To Hate

Upon release, there were next to no multiplayer features and its gameplay was incredibly monotonous with little variation in the types of planets to explore. With its $60 price tag, gamers felt they were cheated and lied to when they finally got to play the game they had been eagerly anticipating, and, as such, it became hated very quickly. Since then, however, the developers have made huge updates to the game that have greatly improved its gameplay, but gamers won't soon forget its disastrous rele

With how popular Zero Build Mode has proven to be (as shown above via Gamesight ), and how many problems building has in Fortnite , it might seem strange for Epic Games to keep it around. However, despite its faults, it's still popular; some players enjoy building massive structures during their battle royale matches. Displeasing half the player base for one of its most successful games most likely wouldn't be a good move for Epic, so from a business standpoint, it makes sense. It's not likely that a Fortnite 2 would be made due to the nature of the Battle Pass system, so the company needs to keep Fortnite players happy if it wants to keep making money. Pleasing those who don't like building is also just as important. Whether it brought it back or did away with it for good, it wouldn't be fair to those who preferred one or the other. Zero Build Mode lets Fortnite be the best of both worlds by giving players options, in the same manner that the solo, Mecha-Pop Challenges duo, and team modes

Doctor Who has had a patchy history with videogames, with many of its gaming releases having been panned by critics and audiences alike. Fornite ’s map gives a nod to one of the show’s more successful videogame outings, as it references the Chaosverse from "The Edge Of Reality," which many consider to be one of David Tennant’s best roles from 20

If Fortnite did make less crossovers, then that would give it more resources to work on its original content. Original characters, storylines, and features have been a bit silly in the past; Peely and the Klombos come to mind. Things like Fortnite 's armored Battle Bus aren't a problem, however, and there's nothing wrong with the game being a little silly. In a time where video games are getting more and more serious, it's refreshing that some choose to offer a whimsical experience, especially when it's a big name like Fortnite . New features and original content, no matter how silly, could be better for the game than an endless string of crossovers, especially since they're making it more than a little silly besi

However, the game was criticized before it was even released when all versions of the games in the collection were pulled from online stores. Furthermore, fans were extremely disappointed with the game's performance issues, bugs , and ugly "updated" graphics. Players felt that it soiled the legacy of these great games and, as such, this collection stands as the most hated GTA rele

The game turned out to be quite the opposite, however, as it was plagued with countless bugs, dull gameplay, and a distracting lack of human NPCs. This made for a world that felt like a pale reflection of the Fallout universe that gamers have come to know and love. Gamers would much rather have had a great single-player Fallout game over this failed experiment and, as such, Fallout 76 became the most hated game in the franch

Reality Falls plays to every nature lover's dream by featuring beautiful and otherworldly scenery. On the other hand, Rave Cave brings a more exciting aspect to the map by providing dance floors for parties and even a whole rollercoaster for more thrilling and exhilarating

One of the reasons why Fortnite 's building feature is so bad is because it makes the meta game boring. After being killed, or just while watching someone else play on YouTube or Twitch, players all building the same towers as everyone else and trying to shoot down their opponents' gets old fast. It seems like the game has become less about who's better at it and more about who's better at building. It can get repetitive both to play and to watch, even if it is a unique mechanic. There's also no shortage of ways for trolls to use building to infuriate unwary players, from boxing them into a cube to launching them with a bounce pad - also unique, but sometimes obnoxi

Another reason is that building is a core part of Fortnite . Even if it's problematic, it helps it stand out from the crowd. Without it, the game isn't fundamentally too different from titles like Apex Legends or PUBG: Battlegrounds . The many crossovers that Fortnite 's become known for get boring after a while, and might not be enough to preserve the game's popularity if it starts to fade due to the resulting lack of individuality that permanently removing building could bring. Fortnite may be one of the most popular - if not the most popular - battle royale game there is, but if it lost a part of what helped it rise to stardom in the first place, then it could suffer for it, and Epic Games likely knew t
