8 Overhyped Video Games That Became Massive Disappointments

8. Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite

What could have been eh?

At one point in time the Marvel Vs Capcom IP was hotter than Johnny Storm with a fever, and was dominating e-sports events left right, and center. With each passing entry, the roster and respect for the series seemed to balloon, however with Infinite, things burst in pretty spectacular fashion.

The hype was most definitely real for the game when it was announced, with publisher Capcom proudly announcing that they saw this once again becoming the fighting game of choice for pros. They even teased a new fighting mechanic that would incorporate the Infinity Stones to help players field teams of differing quality and using said stones as a leveller.

Yet the hype began to wobble intensely as soon as certain questions were asked, namely, "what the hell is up with these graphics?" and "where the hell are the X-men?" to which the devs bungled responses of "errr we'll try and fix that?" and "You don't need the X-men, other characters fill those roles anyway" only stirred the pot.

When the game landed with a thud it wasn't because of the impact of its intentions, but because its weak story mode, pathetic roster and barebones online caused it to trip and land on its face. Ouch.
