High Potential Video Games That Failed Completely


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various video games that had all the promise in the world, and ended up bombing completely. Sometimes video games just flop, and the hype ends up being just that - hype.

Text - GamestingWeasly • 8h 2 Awards Does anyone remember Nether? It was a survival game with strange monsters in a large city where players had to find equipment to survive. It was well recieved in the first few weeks but the dev's never added anything. The game died out pretty quick after that. Reply 5.0k ...

Text - Pingasterix • 5h Yandere simulator had the potential to be the hitman of anime games but the developer blew the patreon money on a sex doll and added it as a character. All the drama as well Reply 3.8k ...

Text - WulfRanulfson • 10h Messiah. The world is in conflict, some form of rebellion. You are a fallen cherub in your raw form everone wants to kill you... However, you can possess and control people getting all their attributes. Anyone. So you jump into a rioter then when the cops come jump in to one fight the rioters then go back to HQ jump into the captain to get to restricted areas etc... It was amazing and ambitious but it was before it's time.

Text - Alvsolutely • 8h CUBE WORLD. The recent update that came out just completely shattered every last hope I had for the game. God, such a good game but such a bad dev. Reply 5.9k ...

Text - Some_Drummer_Guy • 9h World War 3. That game had a horrible launch that it never recovered from. It got so bad that it was recently acquired by (or merged with) another company to try and revive it and fix all the issues. Too little too late, if you ask me. Apparently they're taking it off the Steam store and it's going F2P at some point. It had potential to be a juiced up modern Battlefield game, and when there was a player base for a short time, it did feel like a juiced up Battlefield

Text - Plauge-Wulf • 10h 3 Awards I gotta say Fallout 76, it was an ambitious attempt but i feel it was designed as a cash grab rather than a functioning game. A multiplayer rpg set in the fallout universe could have worked but i feel like they didn't have enough care to make it fun and engaging Heard it got a bit better but im not sure... still it could have been amazing Edit: used Then instead of than Reply 1 4.2k ...

Text - ravenholm462• 9h For me it was Loadout. Really unique and fun, fast paced and with an artstyle that could have been timeless. I really miss that game. There's an active effort to recreate it and I really hope it works out. Would pick it up again in a heartbeat. Reply 1.8k ...

Text - dersue • 8h Ghost Recon Breakpoint I was looking forward to it, but turns out it's almost impossible to play alone. It's designed for multiplayer, but sadly I have no one to play it with. Wish there was an option for AI Players (like in wildlands) Reply 214 ...
