Over time, elements of advertising and PR are playing an increasingly important role in the launch of many blockbusters. On the positive side, this can bring an attraction, the expectation of an explosion for upcoming blockbusters, but at the same time, it also makes many games “decay” as well. just for being over-hyped. For example, the names below.
Overwatch 2
Overwatch has been one of the most loved FPS games of the past decade. However, the lack of a PvE system as well as a sufficiently deep, compelling storyline is what this game lacks. The launch of Overwatch 2 is expected to elevate this super product and become a real blockbuster.
However, what Overwatch 2 brings makes everyone completely disappointed. The previously advertised elements are completely gone. Overwatch 2’s content, plot, and PvE features have been seriously downgraded, even appearing later. In other words, Overwatch 2 is more of a simple upgrade from Overwatch than a new game.
Cyberpunk 2077
Experiencing a dark period when immersed in a seemingly endless development process, but Cyberpunk 2077, in the month before its release, has received a lot of attention, thanks to both the presence of Keanu Reeves and the presence of Keanu Reeves. as its marketing activities. At that time, Cyberpunk 2077 was expected to become a good game like GTA.
But after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has become the blockbuster with the worst appearance in history. A series of technical errors and even the game cannot run smoothly on consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Its storyline has received a lot of praise, but other aspects, such as difficulty and open world, have not satisfied gamers.
Anthem
After many disappointing blockbusters like Mass Effect: Andromeda, Anthem is expected to be the transformation of the developer BioWare. Some have even suggested that Anthem could become a competitor to Destiny in the future. But then, things turned out to be beyond everyone’s imagination.
Its gameplay has been criticized for being repetitive and disjointed, while Anthem’s story lacks the usual appeal of games commonly found on the Bioware side. In addition to the marketing that was a bit too epic before, Anthem received a lot of criticism.
