20 Reasons The Year's Biggest Video Games Might Suck

1. Whore Of The Orient's Heavy Delays Are Because It's A Total Mess

Release Date: TBA The Hype: Team Bondi's follow-up to L.A. Noire, set in Shanghai in 1936, dealing with political upheaval, corrupt cops and pretty much everything else you'd expect in the next game from these guys. Aside from leaked gameplay footage and concept art, little official has actually been divulged about the game, simply that it has been quietly in development since 2011, and that it's due for release later in the year. Apparently. Why It Might Suck: Sometimes games take ages to make for a good reason: they're riddled with issues and the end product sucks. L.A. Noire was a stylistically impressive but ultimately quite disappointing game, and it wouldn't be surprising if the same were true here. Maybe the plot and gameplay just doesn't mesh together well at all, and that's why so little has been officially disclosed. Also, don't be surprised if this one fails to make 2015 or if it even becomes vaporware eventually. It's totally possible. Which huge games from 2015 are you most suspicious of right now?
