what game was this for you?

UFO 50

>>720401615 (OP)
None.
Video Games suck, I'd rather spend my time watching movies and shitposting on 4chan than playing them

>>720401802
Sounds like you'd fit right in on /v/

That meme hasn't been used in like a decade, and now this is like the twentieth thread in the last two days that's using it. So what faggot eceleb streamer mentioned it recently?

>>720401615 (OP)
Silksong

>>720401615 (OP)
Elden Ring. Biggest disappointment of the decade.

>>720401615 (OP)
BOTW

MGS V since I hadnt played the series at all when they started hype in 2013

>>720401615 (OP)
So basically not caring about the announcement but playing them years after their release?
If so then it's gotta be the Arkham games

>>720401615 (OP)
Mario rabbids

>>720401615 (OP)

your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired

>>720401615 (OP)
Dragon's Dogma 1
and DD2 was the reverse

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
>Kojima wasn’t working on it
>genre change from stealth game into action game
>development hell
>story completely changed from a prequel about how Raiden saved Sunny from the Patriots into a sequel that seemingly was going to ruin the decisiveness of 4
It had all the signs of a trainwreck. It turned out to be ludokino.

GOOD OL DAYS AFTER 9/11

>>720401615 (OP)
Elden Ring, I thought it looked like shit until my friends told me to play it.

Combat on Atari 2600.

>>720401615 (OP)
DMC 5. The hype from the community was unreal and it absolutely delivered

>>720401615 (OP)
Silksong.

>>720401615 (OP)
Resident Evil 4

>>720401615 (OP)
Latest prince of persia game because it was ruined by nigger rap while being actually decent sidescroller

>>720401615 (OP)
hmm. I think the Marvel Xcom game Midnight Suns. I thought it looked like shit in the videos and the cards shit. But when I played it I loved it and played it for like 100 hours.

>>720401615 (OP)
What was the origin of this again. Was it Twilight Princess? I forget.

>>720401615 (OP)
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
I thought it was another by the books Soulslike, kinda like Lies of P, didn't care for the setting, plus the initial gameplay looked cheap.
Newer trailers looked better, nothing else was out at the time so I was looking for something to play and I got some Steam gift cards I wanted to use before I put them in some cupboard and forgot about them. Turned out to be lots of fun, my personal 2025 GOTY so far and my 2nd favourite game in the genre

Wind Waker reveal vs Twilight Princess reveal, I'm pretty sure

thirding for lost crown

Twilight Princess. I was kinda disappointed with Wind Waker, wasn't expecting much from the next game. Then the game far surpassed my biggest expectations.

>>720401615 (OP)
FFXIV

Starfield!

>>720401802
Sounds like you know how to spend your time wisely, being here and all

>>720402985
Same, I admit I only played it because of all the threads I saw here over the years. I suck ass at action games, but I even played through with the other weapons afterwards.

>>720401615 (OP)
invisible inc

i got filtered by the artstyle for the longest time, but it's just a really good game and i was absolutely hooked for a good while
glad i changed my mind

>>720401615 (OP)
Mario Galaxy.
Mad Space in SA2 made think the planetoid concept wouldn't work on a platformer. Especially one that uses the Wiimote.
Boy, was I wrong.

>>720401615 (OP)
Alien: Isolation.

>>720401802
Most honest /v/ post in history

>>720401615 (OP)
The first one that comes to mind is Demon's Souls. Literally just bought it on a whim.

Uncharted 4

>>720401615 (OP)
Doom Eternal

>>720401615 (OP)
Sonic Mania.
>oh boy, a 2D Sonic throwback title, where have I seen this before?
I underestimated Whitehead, and I'm happy I was wrong.

>>720401615 (OP)
Xenoblade Chronicles
There was a fuss about it. I got it for cheap but also got another game on the same week that I ended up playing first from beginning to end.

Got into Xeno much later without any hype and completely blind to pretty much everything about it... GOD DAMN I HAD FUN

I still remember how it scratched that itch for a game that just made me want to come home and keep playing, made me feel like a child again. I honestly miss that feeling and haven't had it much these days...

>it's shit

which was it /v/?

>>720401615 (OP)
XCOM 2012

Was a big fan of the original series and it just looked too radically different to be good. Ended up being not as ground breakingly good as the originals, but still up there with the best games in the turn-based genre.

Isn't this a Borderlands writer that tried to pass it off as a joke later?

To be fair, I don't think a Borderlands writer could ever write something serious and sincere

Donkey Kong Bananza

>>720402326
Same. I never did play the sequel. I think too many other things were going on at the time.

>>720401802
literally me

>>720401615 (OP)
R.F.4.
It's in the game

Sonic Racing Crossworlds Beta. I genuinely thought that game was going to be shit but I was decently surprised at how fun it was. The static camera made it look so slow in the trailers but once I turned on dynamic camera it actually felt like you were going fast.

>>720401615 (OP)
The Wind Waker

It got such negative opinions when they showed off cel shaded link and the design change. People were so mad. Then it came out and it was adored.

>>720414658
I didn't like the sequel

>>720401615 (OP)
Expedition 33, Wukong, Disco Elysium.

>>720401615 (OP)
totk.
My heart actually sunk when I saw ultrahand, but I decided to use my game voucher for it and basically from the second it started I was hyped.

>>720401615 (OP)
Really thought it would be mid

>>720401615 (OP)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution after i played the leak. It is also the first of the two games i have ever pre-ordered. The other one was Deus Ex MD.

>>720403934
Same. I swear almost everyone that I've seen that actually tried it said the same thing. They thought it would be shit but ended up having a blast.

>>720401615 (OP)
SMTV. Looked like hot ass in the previews, played like pure kino.

>>720415169
it is. you have terrible taste

Starcraft 2 there was a lot of seething of over Blizzard's jew splitting of the campaigns

>>720401615 (OP)
Elden Ring
I remember seeing the recycled riposte animation from DS3 in the first trailer and I thought "it's so fucking over"

>>720401615 (OP)
I have never experienced this level of joy playing a video game

>>720415227
Add me to the club of the two dozen people who played that game even.

>>720401615 (OP)
DOOM 2016
Subnautica
War Thunder
Enter the Gungeon

>>720401615 (OP)
Baldur's Gate 3.
I enjoyed BG1,2,ToB when I was a kid, and I really enjoyed DOS2 but thought it had a pretty bland set of characters, boring world, and just "okay" story. But the quest openness with multiple solutions to your goal was inspired and THAT aspect was the closest thing to D&D I've seen in a video game.
But BG wasn't really about that, at least since BG2 when they started giving more life to their character as opposed to 1's cookie cutter personalities. I picked it up at the start of Early Access since I was positive I'm sure I'd enjoy it enough as a DOS-version of a D&D game, and it looked "okay" enough". I didn't touch it for the rest of EA.

Then release time comes, and it's a VERY different experience if your only other time you played was the very, very beginning of EA. I couldn't believe how much better it was.

It's now my favorite CRPG I ever played (been playing since the Gold Box days)

>>720401615 (OP)
Deus Ex HR
Doom 2016

>>720412119
Hated it.

doom eternal. expected safe sequel, got revolutionary fps action game kino

>>720401615 (OP)
elin

I was like "oh, this might be interesting. elona with a better control scheme?". hearing more about it, like the basebuilding made it be a higher priority of getting it. the fact it was only $20 on release made it a day one buy

now I have like 228 hours so far. taking a break from it rn, to let the dev add more content/number of mods expand some

>>720402839
perfect answer

>>720401615 (OP)
Doom eternal, I just pirated it on release because I was bored and it ended up being great. I ended up buying and playing the dlc standalone because they actually let you do that lol

>>720402019
Technically the japs never stopped using it. I'd see excited gaijin referenced in random music videos for no reason

Cyberpunk, i’m not sci fi guy do didn’t care about it, when it got released people were bitching about bugs and performance including my mate who was also hyped
he ended up dissapointed gave me his account and I poured about 100 hours first week after getting it

>>720420672
I went in expecting Bethesda tier trash, ended up 100%in it

Helldivers 2.

>>720416772
based, I hope we get the second one some time in the next decade

>>720406545
wind waker ended up having a longer lasting legacy due to the timeless art style that everyone hated on at the time.

>>720401615 (OP)
The bottom reaction was me while playing FF7 Rebirth
The top image is me reflecting on he content of FF7 Rebirth after finishing it. Basically it was like a bad aftertaste.

>>720401615 (OP)

i knew it was slop but its just dumb fun desu

Dark Souls. I didn't play it until around 2019

>>720401615 (OP)
Silksong for real
Never crossed my mind that it could be woke. But it's been 7 years now, and it was.

Doom the Dark Ages
Yes it released
No, nobody noticed it

>>720422114
Fucking ludokino right?

>>720421854
holy fuck that ending was so bad but the game was honestly really fun even though it wasn't the 3 niggas in a row that i'd come to expect.

never gonna buy it though cause never going to support Square ESGNix but yeah it was great

>>720401615 (OP)
Harvestella was pretty mid in the announcements but really fun

>>720401615 (OP)
picrel cemented the fact that lore and exploration are just memes and that bosses and build creation have always been king in souls games

>>720401615 (OP)
KI Uprising

>>720422337
I thought I was filtered and abandoned it forever at one point. But I have a friend who loves the games and he encouraged me, gave some tips, and by the time I finally killed Queeglag the first time, it clicked, I suddenly got it.

What almost filtered me was the Taurus Demon of all things. Funny to think about now.

Xenoblade 2
I was still sour from Nintendo abadoning the Wii U for the Switch, and I hadn't played a Xeno game before

I didn't realize how magical it, or the entire franchise was

>>720422638
It actually took me 10 years to finish Dark Souls then on my next playthrough only 3 days. No game has ever done that for me.

>>720422519
If you think Souls games are mainly about bosses, Sekiro is for you. Dark Souls literally is about exploration hence Elden Ring had to sprinkle them in as "legacy" dungeons.

>>720401615 (OP)
>what game was this for you?

Abiotic Factor.
I saw bits and pieces of it being streamed for months and from what I gleamed of it it looked like another "forever early access streamer-bait-core-friend-slop" piece of shit.
1.0 launched a couple weeks ago, I held it up to a magnifying glass and figured I'd "give it a shot". I've got like 70 hours in it already. It's actually really great.

>>720401615 (OP)
dark souls 1 unironically.

>>720401615 (OP)
Prey, a shame that arkane is dead

>>720401615 (OP)
For me it was Sekiro. I didn't even remember that being out, I got it years after it was out and had no hype at all but it's fromsoft and heard some dicks said it was GOTY.

>>720412119
yeah same here. I remember friends shilling it to me for many years. I saw them play it and thought the gameplay looked meh. I watched as they picked shulk in smash 4 and they cracked up at his voicelines.

then I picked up the remake on the switch on a whim and realized that I'd missed out for all these years. played that shit for weeks straight.

>>720415169
shovel of hope is good, but specter of torment and king of cards are some of the most fun platformers I've played

>>720416965
That makes me so happy. It was always a good meme

>>720402168
MGS V felt so good when you started it. Too bad that after a while it was just the same with no real sense of progress.

>>720401615 (OP)
Horizon zero dawn

>>720401615 (OP)
/v/ loved to shit on this game back then but it's a certified ludo kino, little did we know that it was one of the last of its kind

>>720425743
I adored this game. Granted, I was stoned as fuck when my friend booted it up and played it in front of me, but I remained impressed even while sober. I thought it would have ushered in a new generation of great im-sims, but this industry disappoints me constantly.

That same year, Bastion came out. It also was a title I wasn't expecting to be great. /v/ seems to shit on it, though.

>>720426196
Yeah I also remembered how Dishonored became kind of a big deal and thought we'll see more games like it, fast forward to the 2020s and Arkane was now forced to make a looter shooter slop for some reason. You really can't hate the AAA game industry enough.

>>720425743
Is alright, I faintly recall the devs in good spirits doing an April Fools or something that explicitly mentioned 4chan complaining about the piss filter

>>720401802
Why aren't you on /tv/?

>>720401615 (OP)
Honestly Death Stranding 2
I wasnt even sure if I liked the first one but I was at least excited to see what Kojima would do next in his post-mgs career
So when DS2 was his next thing I was so insanely disappointed and didnt give a fuck until it came out
Actually playing it though I adore it and I think its existence is entirely justified

Breath of the Wild, I was genuinely so unenthused and negative about it until I actually played it, I was sick of bad open world games and didn't see how it could work.

>>720401675
fippy bippy, if I wasn't a massive Spelunky fan I probably wouldn't have bothered checking it out
Looking back, it was really cool that Pilot was playable in Spelunky 2

>>720401675
>>720426727
I just went back recently and FINALLY locked in and beat Velgress, I don't know why it was so hard for me a year ago.

>>720401615 (OP)
Played it at release, and remember feeling really underwhelmed after Twilight Town. That continued throughout most of the game, save for Toy Story and Monsters Inc. The ending also sucked.

ITT: half of people can't comprehend a meme properly

>>720423287
I tried the tutorial and it seemed alright but not amazing. when does it really click? Im at less than 2 hours and was considering refunding unless it suddenly gets really good

I bought Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen at Gamestop cause it kinda seemed like it would be similar to Dark Souls from the cover.
I dropped it right after the hydra head quest.
Then I saw some Mystic Knight gameplay on Youtube a few months later and had to boot that shit up right away and threw all of my free time at it to play that fun as hell class.

>>720401615 (OP)
FF7 Rebirth and Expedition 33 were both genuine surprises to me. I had low expectations for both and I was floored by both.

It's never been a better time to be a JRPG fan.

>>720401615 (OP)
FF16. Kotor before that but I hadn’t even heard about it before release and got it randomly when selling some old games. Granted I was 12 or so years old but still.

>>720401615 (OP)
prey 2017. put 200 hours in two years ago holy fuck

>>720401802
fuck you nigger
