Flatout 2 fix8/12/2023 ![]() This is Hollywood ugly, the Steve Buscemis of the gaming world. The Extra Terrestrial gets Wikipedia pages to archive its life, death, and landfill burial. Even the remarkably bad games that end up at the top of Steam’s Worst Rated Games list, like Flatout 3, can strike up a conversation, and E.T. The average consumer mostly sees the curated, the well-advertised, the well-received, and the highly anticipated games that float to the top of the pile, be it indie or Triple-A. Which is a shame because the average game is average, but the spotlight nature of the video game industry means the unremarkable games are left out in the dark. There’s a negative attitude towards games that are just average. ![]() I think there’s problems with perception and expectations from the consumer side, but I don’t pity Johnny Triple-A because I’m tired of playing their blame game. “ Who’s fault is this? Who’s to blame? How could you?” And it’s all a ruse. The riled up populace demands accountability. In the case of Redfall, the conversation has moved past the topic of quality. So when a big name developer or publisher releases a 6/10, 5/10, or– god forbid– 4/10 game, the vocal disappointment is near deafening. ![]() The sheer amount of talent and money that circulates in the higher division guarantees even Triple-A turds are shinier than the average game development caca. It’s not as common in the Triple-A scene, where the worst thing a game can be is a little buggy, predatory, unoptimized, and generic but still manage a 6/10 review score. Sometimes a game just sucks, no pun intended. Here’s a harsh truth for your Monday lunch break.
