Dragon’s Dogma. Absolute jankfest on launch, Capcom basically buried it under RE and DmC hype, but the gameplay loop, the Pawn system, and the combat were way ahead of their time. Nobody expected it to gain such a cult following, and now it’s got a damn good sequel. Came outta nowhere and clawed its way to the top by sheer flavor and monster climbing.

Bethesda gave them the engine all assets from Fallout 3 cutting 70% of their work
They accepted the contract and the bonus which they didn't get

>Bethesda gave them the engine
They can't even do that right. Imagine if this game was actually made in a properly functioning engine.

Such as...? it was 2009, Unreal barely had any open world capabilities and all open world games at the time were made with private in-house engines.
