10 BIGGEST Gaming TRAGEDIES That Will Upset Anyone

My biggest gaming tragedy is when I didn't eat a pork bun in Sleeping Dogs, and the vendor questioned my manhood.

Abandoning Red Dead Redemption 2 will always hurt my soul

Victim of Microsoft layoffs here... crazy part is that the reasoning for the layoffs I got caught up in were things that we had been screaming about for years. Pitiful upper management chasing dragons in the hopes of landing a windfall rather than focusing on a viable, valuable product. Most of them got to keep their jobs though, so that was nice.

No RDR2 support was the big one for me. Can you imagine if we got Undead nightmare 2? And it was an actual sequel to the first one, where maybe Jack is the one that had to recover and return the jade mask again to save the world? HUGE missed opportunity by Rockstar ...

Happy 10th anniversary on Gameranx, Jake!

"Publishers took the safest path imaginable into an open coffin." What a well-said (and sad) statement.

Mobile gamers - Not paying 30$ for a full resident evil game because to expensive Also mobile gamers - Spending 10$ to upgrade their tier 1 base into a tier 2 base, spending 15$ on skins to make their level 1 troops look cool, spending 20$ to upgrade all of their tier 1 troops to tier 2, spending 300$ on 3000 gems to buy future season passes and to purchase the new unlockable collection event level that only costs 1500 coins.

I honestly can't comprehend how Activision still makes millions of dollars off of releasing the same game basically every year

Personally I care about physical copies way more than digital copies in my opinion.

I loved the Kinect for 2 reasons, "Xbox On" and dieing in Alien Isolation because it heard my Mom yell dinner is ready.

Having an actual hard copy of anything that you value is the always the wisest and best format.

I think the real tragedy is the fading single player games. So many want to just follow a forced multiplayer experience that they forget how to make a good quality single player game. I think it's why Fromsoft really hits it out of the park with their games. People miss the experiences that they find on their own as they adventure through the game. Yes, there's co op, but it's OPTIONAL. I can't think of any other developers that solely focus on single player adventures that have great game play these days. There's aren't too many imo but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

The Kojima Konami fallout and all the lost potential that came with that still hurts

Honestly, I say the biggest tragedy is that Ubisoft completely forgot about their best mascot: Rayman. No remaster of Rayman 2 Revolution or Rayman 3 hoodlum havoc(my favorite game). Not even a new game. They just keep focusing on assassins creed way too much. I really miss that character.

I was not prepared for Falcon to throw down some lyrics from Pink Floyd in this video

What they did to RDR2 online is the biggest tragedy. RDR2 is one of the greatest games ever made regardless of genre and they just butchered online. Yes the cheaters are a big issue even though there are ways around them. It’s just insane how poorly done the story is, the ridiculous grind they expect for such little reward, rampant bugs, tedious gameplay loops… you get the idea. The fact that this mess was the only addition to one of the greatest games is a travesty. I recently (finally) got a friend to play RDR2 and he’s loving it and wanted to play together. So I hopped into online giving it yet another chance. Even with my expectations in the gutter, it’s just heartbreaking how poorly done this crap is.

I will always support the physical media of games. The only time I buy digital games is for old games I love. But for new ips, sequels, or new games I love, I'll always buy physical

No sequel or another game in same universe of Disco Elysium is my personal tragedy nr. 1.

Server browsers were the shit. Because of them, I met some of the best friends I've ever had to this day, even 17 years later. Happened to join a clan server on Sven-Coop, an entmod server (basically primordial Garry's Mod). You often had to earn "ent privileges" on those servers, so my master plan was to note who was part of their clan. Once he left, I changed my display name to that guy's, clan tag and all, and pretended my ent privileges just weren't working. They went ahead and "reinstated" them, but little did I know they knew I wasn't him, because they saw my SteamID was different. They just wanted to see what I'd do with it. We had a great few hours hanging out before they confronted me on being an imposter, which I fessed up, but they let me stay. We had a great few years hanging out together after that, playing on that server and chatting on XFire. Over time, life just got complicated and we lost contact bit by bit. I've really wished I could figure out how to regain contact and see how all those guys were doing though. But none of that would've been possible if automatic matching had been the default.
