Buying a game and spending large chunks of your life playing it repeatedly can lead to you losing any sort of objective view of the title.

What you see as an “advanced gameplay feature” is actually a hernia-inducing pain for most, while your “additional game benefits” could more accurately be described as “that thing which I will never use or investigate further than pressing close when it pops up on the screen”.

Fortunately there are a bunch of gaming enthusiasts who provide much needed perspective on big titles from time to time. They are the team behind Honest Game Trailers.

If you have owned or played one of the titles on the list I strongly recommend you watch the video for it. Better yet, watch them all – they are hilarious.

We even threw in some comments from the YouTube page for each trailer, just to spice things up.

Destiny

“To everyone who dislikes this game: Please focus hate on Activision instead of Bungie.”

Grand Theft Auto V

“So… GTA is 3 letters… V is 5 in roman numbers… 5+3 is 8… there are 5 GTA Games.. 8-5 is 3… HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.”

Final Fantasy VII

“One of the greatest games to ever exist…… in the history of anything…… ever.”

God of War

“Man, Kratos is such a f****ng dick. He’s a supreme gigantic as***le that acts like a spoiled 5-year-old child, but with the strength of a god.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

“Not all of the CoDs are the same! In one of them, the fish move out of your way! They actually do! Isn’t that amazing. Guys?”

Pokemon: Red and Blue

“Hi, I’m a registered sex offender.”

Minecraft

“How the **** do you make a working 16-bit computer in Minecraft?”

Mass Effect

“Am I the only one who said “Die b***h die” and chose to save Kaidan?”

Diablo

“Two great dungeon crawlers, and one mass-market, dumbed-down piece of Activision c***.

Evolve

“How did this video not rip on the rampant DLC and overpriced cost of the game?”
