Talk:List of video games notable for negative reception

message: Not sure if this has been suggested before but I think it might be a good idea to split this into multiple articles by decade, given its sheer length. -- Trar (talk) 14:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Curious what other people think though. Timur9008 (talk) 16:49, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

text: That doesn't make sense, this list is well within SIZE limits, and splitting by decade would lead to undesirable expansion. Masem (t) 16:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggested it because the page has a SIZE tag. If it's well within limits, perhaps it could be removed then. -- Trar (talk) 12:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: A drive by IP added it the same day you opened this discussion. Sometimes tags aren't valid, since anyone can just add them. -- ferret (talk) 13:37, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Splitting by decade? 

message: There's just no positive reviews that aren't ironic. Chese the Man! (talk) 00:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Simply being a game with only negative reviews is not sufficient. There needs to be a factor of notability with respect to the game being rated badly. As an unlicensed game, I really don't see that likely to be the case. Masem (t) 01:52, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

text: This is an interesting one against the criteria as I think the game does have some notability on the basis of its poor quality, but it's a kusoge intentionally created to be poor and so the coverage of the game proceeds from the foregone conclusion that the game is bad. It also had no impact and certainly no reception upon release. A lot of it seems to be off of the AVGN review which isn't exactly considered a reliable mainstream source.

thread_title:  Hong Kong 97 

message: There were a lot of other games released last year that have been talked about in the same breath as not only similarly-bad games from that year, but many games on the list. Examples include games like Redfall, Kong: Skull Island, CoD Modern Warfare III, The Walking Dead: Destinies, EA Sports FC 24, Avatar the Last Airbender: The Quest for Balance or the Switch port of Mortal Kombat 1. Should we consider adding some of those to the list? Hawkatana (talk) 08:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We need the games to meet not just low scores but have lasting impact and legacy as a game with negative reception or other impacts. Redfall might be there if that ties to the closure of Arkane Austin, but things like Kong and TWD were more treated as memes without any impact, and those others are just games with some negative scores but nothing lasting.

replies: text: I want to support this comment. This isn't a list of every game with a negative score, but something of larger consequence for the studio/industry. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other 2023 games 

message: A new article from Bloomberg by Jason Schreier has revealed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League cost Warner Bros 200 Million dollars, making it one of the least financially-successful video games of all time.
Also, there were barely any positive reviews of the game as far as I could see. Hawkatana (talk) 17:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It's on the commercial failure list for that $200m write off by WB, but it's hard to justify it being negative. It just didn't catch on. But I wouldn't rule it out yet if other developments like layoffs at rocksteady were to happen Masem (t) 17:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
