Rocky and Bullwinkle (2008)
Why It Sucks
- This game is pretty much a mediocre WarioWare knockoff.
- The game tries to emulate the original Rocky and Bullwinkle TV series via using 2D animations that run at 60fps. However, the execution makes it to where it feels like a Flash game that got ported to the Xbox 360.
- Very little variety, as the games just boil down to pressing buttons, mashing the shoulder buttons, or tilting the L-stick in circles.
- Many of the minigames were outright frustrating at best or either too mediocre at best;
- Moon Moose is the most infamous example, where you have to dodge through asteroids and collect cakes. However, since the ship's hitbox is twice as wide and due to the 3-lane structure, the asteroids can line themselves up in such a way where failing it suddenly becomes an inevitability.
- Big Red Button is pretty much the worst minigame, as all you do is virtually nothing but wait for the timer to run out. However, the game will also fool you into pressing A via a "A" button prompt, which causes the bomb to go off and you fail the minigame via doing so.
- Pottsylvania Passport Check is cryptic at best, as you have to answer whether or not the character's identity matches. However, this can be at first confusing at times because its hard to tell if they're right or not, as you have to line them up with the speech bubble which is only indicated in character images, and if you get it wrong, Boris Badenov ends up in prison and you have to try the game again. This is a Boss Game where if you fail, you have to do it again.
DIVX (will not be a page)
NOTE: This page is essentially a proof of concept of what if Qualitipedia were to allow non-gaming tech failures, such as Microsoft Bob, Windows ME, and Juicero in the future.
DIVX (Digital Video Express) was a disc format released by Circuit City released on Jun 8, 1998, meant to compete with DVD after the likes of LaserDisc/VHS and before the likes of HD DVD & Blu-ray.
It was discontinued just one year after its release following Circuit City's decline against other competing electronics stores such as Best Buy and Micro Center.
Why It Flopped
- The whole idea of the DIVX was to make it an alternative to DVD that you could only watch for 48 hours. At first, the discs are priced at much lower prices compared to normal DVDs, and then pay extra to watch it for a longer period of time. How this would essentially work is that they would have to pay a continuation fee or have the option to convert it to a "DIVX silver" to where it would have unlimited usage, but only on that respective DIVX player.
- On top of that, there was also a planned "DIVX Gold" upgrade that would allow a DIVX disc to be played on any DIVX player, because DIVX silver only allowed you to play it on one DIVX player so you couldn't take it to another place.
- Because all of the DIVX discs had some form of always-online DRM on them, when the online service was discontinued for good in Jun 30, 2001, all of the discs were rendered completely useless and to this day, there hasn't been any effort to try and crack it, likely due to DIVX being such as huge flop to where only 500,000 discs were sold and 17,000 accounts were created before the format was discontinued.
