Gotta disagree with the Destiny one. Yeah, a lot of people were disappointed with the game and it might have been overhyped, but I wouldn't say the trailers were very misleading.
I just think that the people who shit on Destiny are a little closed-minded about it and will always have bad things to say about it. It wasn't as bad as people like to say it is, and a lot of the complaints are made by the people who stopped playing in the first week or two and didn't get to a lot of the content. There are some pretty great things in Destiny and they did fix and improve many things and it's a really great game now. People were just expecting so much and think that it's greedy when they sell DLC and come up with the idea that the companies are withholding content to sell you later because they're greedy.
I was surprised there wasn't the rainbow six siege trailer
I fucking broke my controller over campers in halo fucking 5 SHIIIIIT that all
But dead island is a good game in my opinion
Halo 5: Guardians was a major disappointment for me. I saw the trailers with Locke and Chief where they switch roles and it got me soooo hyped up, and I did a free trial of Gamefly to play it with my friend. But we played it and found out that it was the worst Halo campaign ever. All the cool conflict advertised doesn't exist and it's basically Cortana leading Chief and his team around and Locke and his team are following them. The two only get in a fist fight in one short cutscene, nothing you do affects the story in any way (ie if all the Spartans stayed home and did nothing, the outcome would be the same because Cortana does her plan no matter what).
The biggest "F you" of the game is the ending. Just when you start to get into the main conflict, the credits roll. You basically just played Act 1 of a story and have to wait years and buy the next game to do the next part. My friend and I were incredibly upset.
This was probably made worse by our frustration of fighting the same damn boss 10 times in the game. They just copy and paste him throughout the game, and his only purpose is to slow you down (both in the story and for the purpose of making the campaign last longer).
The story just does not matter and should've been done over the course of a few missions or cutscenes, not the entire game being a set up for the next game. The gameplay itself wasn't terrible aside from the stupid AI and rarely having ammo for good guns. The multiplayer is great and is easily the best part of the game, which is unfortunate for those like me who love Halo mostly for the story.
Killzone2 was amazing though. You should never believe a video game trailer or game play.
My guess is No Man's Sky is at least in the top 3, wouldn't be surprised if it were number 1.
Top 10 LEAST misleading cinematic trailers
Halo 5: Guardian misleading marketing campaign really hit me hard, and lose my faith in 343. They already fucked whole Halo franchise….
You should just say unisoft
Its a good fact that the chief didn-t made any atrosities against the humanity.I mean he is my best gaming characther
were the hell is the pokemon go trailer
I know this has fuck all to do with this video, but everyone go subscribe to my channel because… I do okay cover videos I guess?
dc online?
Instead of aliens i think an open world predator game would be pretty cool. Like you and up to 4 friends try to find and kill predator before he can pick you off one by one.
all knights of the old republic games should be on this list, the games look like they came out 20 years ago but the trailers are amazing!
Technically Aliens: Colonial Marines wasn't a lie. I don't think it would have been quite as extravagant as promised, but what hurt it the most was the fact that Gearbox siphoned a massive chunk of the budget and resources for Borderlands 2 at the last minute, because they believed it would make more money. Well, it did.
dead island trailer is very misleading, but still the best cinematic i have ever seen. period.
f*ck no man's sky
