10 Times Games "Did Right By The Fans" (And Pissed Everyone Off)

There were plenty of cutscenes in MGSV, and there's so much organic in game storytelling that makes up for it. The main issue is that the game just isn't finished. Miracle that it's still a good as it is.

Inquisition was a treat. Nothing like getting your character strong enough to solo dragons.

Game devs: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Game fans: Be careful what you wish for.

Two major takeaways from this topic: vocal gamers are a considerable minority of gamers, and of that minority fewer still know a damn thing about game design, writing or production. Even a handful of these listed games did extremely well sales wise in the face of "backlash" from the vocal minority.

I feel about half this list is not THAT they did these things for fans, it's how, or what they replaced them with. 10) Batmobile isn't terrible, but it's used too often, and is used far too much in the place of bossfights. 8) The Mako needed help, not to be ditched entirely. And the Hammerhead was okay, even if it was too squishy. That said, the thing that made people mad was what replaced it. Planet scanning, even in the Legendary Edition, sucks. 7) This is one of those things I never get when people bring it up. There are lots of Twilight Princess fans out there. Midna and Wolf Link would not get so much love if there weren't. This is a case of the fandom just being so big, it can support both. 5) This was a case of 'it felt like trend chasing' after Battlefield 1 did this earlier that year(Or was it the year prior?) to great effect. The problem is pretty much what she says, it's not THAT they did it, it's that while doing it, they just stripped a lot of fun things from the players, without replacing them with any new fun tools. 4) It sold fantastically, I think the only problem most people have is it's an action RPG now, not an RPG, and the added story bits feel...wonky, as we basically have it that the original happened, and some people seem to be aware of it, but not everyone. It's weird. I think most found the additional context for Midgar to be okay to great, like showing how normal people feel about the stuff going on, and making Shin-Ra a lot smarter than they originally were. 1) It's not that it's too big, it's that you're too slow, and the Horse being capped at your own running speed, just adding speedlines to the sides of the view to 'fake' being faster did not help...still love my Bog Unicorn though.

This just proves, no matter what you do, there will be a giant group of whiners that will complain.

Since when did people not like Twilight Princess?

I adored the Mako so much. When I loaded up Mass Effect 2 after finishing the first one, I was heartbroken to find my beloved Mako gone

Bottom line: fans suck. Fans with internet access suck to infinity. We’ve lost the ability to enjoy things; we want control, power, dominion. It’s just like, bruh, play, have fun, or don’t play, do something else. There’s options.

To further the part about Cortana, they also ended up deciding to just kill her off off-screen between the end of Halo 5 & the beginning of Halo Infinite...

This is why you don't listen to the vocal minority and assume they represent the whole fan base.

Dragon age 3 is a great game I loved how it gave freedom to the player with bigger map and a bigger world felt better then the first 2 games

Maybe it's because it was one of my first open-world games, but I loved Dragon Age Inquisition. There always felt like there was more to find and more side quests to complete.

Dragon age inquisition was amazing

Big love for the Mako here! The Hammerhead they introduced in that ME2 DLC, tho, not so much. If the Nomad from Andromeda had guns, it would be a perfect Mako successor.

I remember just rage quitting Arkham Knight at the part where you have to drive around in the Batmobile, sneaking up to the Arkham Knights tank, shooting it and then getting the hell out of there before the Arkham Knight shoots you. And you have to do this multiple times.

wtf? the ONLY flaw in twilight princess is not having Gerudos in it. Everything else is just perfect.

I liked the Mako. I would drive as fast as possible and then launch myself of off the side of a mountain. Or try and pick off the enemy at extreme ranges. As far as Cortana, I thought the fact that she thought the only way to bring peace to the galaxy was to basically enslave was great. I was concerned when they said they were going to soft reboot for Halo:Infinity, but I wound up liking how they dealt with Cortana, and I know I am in the minority here, but I like Halo: Infinity single player.

MGSV is the perfect example of not knowing what you have until it's gone.

The bad puns make videos like this even more delightful.
