10 Awful Video Games That Almost Everybody Plays

5. Star Wars Battlefront

Like Evolve, Star Wars Battlefront was a collection of multiplayer modes, packaged together and sold as a full-priced retail game. Despite the setting, there was nothing particularly interesting about it; in fact, it lacked several of the staples that made previous entries in the series so enthralling.

Worse still, the lack of singleplayer just made the whole thing feel shallow and uninteresting, which are two traits that should never be attributed to anything Star Wars related (excluding the prequels).

The entire experience can be summed up, thusly: you spawn, you die almost immediately, you respawn and get a few kills, you die a hundred more time until eventually you get to play as a famous hero, and then you get shot before you can take advantage of it. 

In many ways, it's the perfect representation of what it would be like to be a stormtrooper; your efforts feel meaningless, and the end result feels like it had almost nothing to do with you. You're just a cog in a machine, firing blindly in the direction of the enemy hoping to make a difference. 

Every game feels exactly the same as the last, and there's very little sense of progression, or purpose. How anyone plays Battlefront for more than a couple hours astounds me.
