Or rather, Andromeda and Hitman. I have yet to play either game but Andromeda was buried from the start, with the negative reaction from announcement to release. There was no chance given, no quarter taken. Then again, the trailers and game play videos did not seem to help. Everything looked like it was a simple update of the past games and as a massive fan of the trilogy, I was looking for more but apart from some lsight updates to the planets, they seemed to regress. They had even less aliens than the original trilogy, how is that possible?
In terms of Hitman, I think all of us had a lot t osay about the episodic nature and most of it was negative. Honestly, they deserved it, didn't they? Who should be allowed to get away with releasing a game, one level at a time? No one, that is who. Now, I'm not sure why these two games felt the true force of gamers and SF 5 got away scott free, or Battlefront was such a big success. Tekken 7 seems to be following a similar path, releasing with 2 modes and I'm sure the rest will be available via dlc...not to mention a number of fighters.
Should more games feel our wrath? Leading to developers and publishers rethinking strategy?
