    Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Halo, Thief, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Turok.

    All things I was incredibly hype for new stuff. All incredible let downs with some more than the others.

    Star Wars - Pretty much all previous games and books got retconned out.

    Lord of the Rings - Started with the Hobbit and has been downhill since then.

    Halo - Halo 4 was okay but everything after that basically changed everything about the lore.

    Heroes of Might and Magic - Favorite game as a kid but Ubisoft ruined it and doesn’t even make them anymore.

    Turok - The reboot is so far from the original they could have renamed the character and just called it something else.

      The Hobbit at least had good moments and is almost salvageable with the fan edits (the last one is pretty rough though)

      … isn’t Turok already a title passed between multiple dudes?

      Players assume the role of Native American space marine Joseph Turok

      Well then. At least they narrowly avoided naming him John Gamename.

      Star Wars was always my favorite sci fi universe for so long…

      Now with what Filoni and Disney has done with it, i just dunno any more. I feel lost. I loved Andor and Rogue One though, but apparently they aren’t the most popular?
