8 Video Games That Utterly Failed To Live Up To The Hype

Oh Johnny Boy, The Pipes, The Pipes Are Calling.....you a bitch. This is basically Daikatana in a nutshell, a project in which at the time legendary video game developer John Romero promised that his latest game would, and I quote, "make you his bitch".

It's a bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off. The gaming community was understandably miffed at being insulted by a man they'd likely never given more than a second thought to, but as everyone in marketing knows, any publicity is good publicity, and the fact that we were all talking about Daikatana built the hype up around it immeasurably.

It's a shame then that Daikatana fell on its own feces smeared sword by being quite possibly one of the worst video games I've ever had the displeasure to play. For starters, the controls feel like you're piloting a battered Soviet-era tank and the driver has had a little too much fermented potato juice, and the graphics are so jagged and rife with tearing you could cut a week old roast on it.

However, my favorite bit of absolute low is the A.I who genuinely lack all semblance of "I" from that description and the only "A's" they appear to be are A-holes who get in your way constantly and love offering themselves up as a meat shield to both your own and enemy fire.

The bloom was definitely off the rose with this one, and in it's place was just a field of manure. Nice one John.
