10 Hyped 2017 Video Games That Will Definitely Disappoint You

3. Ghost Recon: Wildlands

We've reached the point where you need only look at a new Ubisoft shooter, to see which other components have been cobbled together to form its base appeal. In Wildlands' case, it's Far Cry-style map generation with The Divison-esque shooting and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's squad commands.

Since its first unveiling, Wildlands' reception has been fairly mixed, the Tom Clancy/Ghost Recon fanbase wanting to be excited thanks to Ubi's track record including things like the immaculate Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2, but the reality of the studio's 'copy n' paste game design' ethos being a poignant negative.

At time of writing, we're less than two months away from launch, yet the only big playable chunks of gameplay consist of stilted team tactics and primitive animations. Hopefully Ubi can do right by the Ghost Recon name, but there's every opportunity that Wildlands will be yet another unpolished release.
