15 Most Disappointing Video Games Of The Decade

4. Dead Space 3

EA is a publisher that just can't help but take a good thing and turn it into dirt. Dead Space was the rare new IP from the studio that managed to do something new and excel in a genre the company doesn't usually bother with, pushing the survival-horror space forward at a time where Resident Evil was stagnating.

Of course, being hugely successful in a 'niche' genre wasn't enough for EA, and the third game was mandated to introduce co-op (which arguably killed Resident Evil as well), to be more accessible to action fans and also to feature one of the first major microtransaction systems so players could buy their way to the best weapons.

None of that was conducive to what Dead Space did well, which was atmospheric single-player fights to the death with monstrous necromorphs. As a result, the franchise has been on ice ever since.
