The list has almost reached the character limit for a single post.

What games did you avoid falling for, /v/? Any recent flops/cancellations/controversies that you avoided by holding your nerve and not buying?

I haven't bought a single COD or BF game since about 2014 or so. I think it's because once I got into Counter-Strike and TF2, the gunplay and movement of every other shooter felt subpar in comparison.

I fell for Brink, Spore, and Mighty Number 9. God I'm still mad

Conversely I did fall for Octopath traveler and XIV

poorfag depressed doomer cope

I fell for fallout 4
got it as a present in christmas
damn is it ass and I dont think mods save it either

I don't get this shitpost. Poor people are usually the ones with champagne tastes living on beer and peanut pockets.

>>723177684 (OP)
>TFW DIDN'T FALL FOR KINECT
Fall for what? It was a fun little thing. I loved it as a kid. Especially the sport ones.

>>723177684 (OP)
>im poor: the thread

>>723177738
baldurs gate 3 and any mario kart

>>723178563
>as a kid

>>723178683
look at the calendar baldy

>>723178563
kinect sucked though
it was never used creatively and didn’t have the fun factor of wagglan’
t. also had a kinect as a kid

>>723178032
I fell for Brink but wasn't in a position to purchase it at the time, which ended up being a good thing.

>>723178683
Anon, I...

>>723178745
Yeah,anon was right to shit on a child shitposting. Get on board or get over it.

stay woke out there gentlemen

I got about 400 hours out of my VR, and I'm still using it.

>>723177684 (OP)
Okay. Did you actually play anything in the past ten years or do you just like to brag about what you haven't played?

>>723177684 (OP)
Feels good being an intelligent gamer.

Fallout 4 was the straw the broke the camel's back. Fuck Bethesda, fuck their incompetent "creative" team and most important fuck you.

>>723178813
>kinect sucked though
I mean, the tracking did leave something to be desired sometimes, but that shit was fun.
>Kinect Sport (season 2 was best)
>The star wars game where you could chop the shit out of stuff or play as a rancor
>The pixar game that basically made you a custom character on cars and the invincibles
As a kid, that shit was great.

>>723177684 (OP)
Sea of thieves was good up until a few years ago thoughbeit

>>723178563
the point of
>didn't fall for
is when people shell out money (especially full price) for things that later proved to be shit/a joke/got cancelled/etc.

Kinect was shilled endlessly by Xbox as the next big thing but is now basically only really known for being forced onto unwilling consumers as part of the worst console release in Xbox history. Hence, didn't fall for kinect.

>>723179128
Why do you say that at the end of all your posts?

Starbound burned me so hard I've never trusted another game developer since. I don't give money to anything until there's a finished product with good reviews now. Also made me see what a titanic flop NMS was going to be.

I fell for mafia 3. it's the only game I've ever bought on release. it was like a kick in the balls.

>>723177684 (OP)
I feel for everything because I'm not a poorfag
LMAOing at your life

>>723179016
Yes, anon. Games come out constantly that people enjoy. Everything on the list in OP was either
>cancelled
>so bad/poorly recieved it was newsworthy
>exactly what pre-launch criticisms suggested it'd be

Many of the things on the list are not games; disaster consoles like the Xbox 1 or Ouya are there, as are many shitty remasters. What game on the list did you fall for? It's okay to admit it, we all make mistakes.

>>723179217
Well, I wouldn't know anything about that, my parents just bought a 360 that came with a kinect on it. And since they didn't like buying ACTUAL games i mostly just played kinect.

but I enjoyed VR

>>723178205
>E33
>RDR2
I dunno if these fit for the list, since they were both massively critically acclaimed with little to no controversy.

It isn't a
>haha, didn't play [popular thing]
it's "I avoided dogshit that is now infamous for being dogshit."

>y-you're poor
>I'm still having a blast with my VR
>I liked kinect, actually
>wow OP, guess you didn't play anything

Instead of coping, embrace it. Every retard with a console or PC eventually falls for something. It's a learning moment.

fell for Victoria 3 and Fallout 4

>>723179367
How about you tell me what you have played. Just one thing.

>>723179456
I'm not fitting anything. I'm posting what I avoided because I knew it wasn't worth my time or money.

>>723178683
clock is ticking gramps, time to apply minoxidil.

>>723179313
Can't "feel" for an English lesson.

I like Fallout 4, it's far from perfect. But still fun.

>>723179793
No sir, it's over for now.

>VR
>Cube World
>Kinect

I guess I could have done worse but Godus is pretty fucking embarrassing.

>>723179613
Balatro

>/v/ - Video Games
>WAAAH LOOK AT ME NOT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Riveting, you fucking contrarian faggot. Tell me more.

>>723179524
Every single one of these was either
>shilled as "next big thing" (still a gimmick)
>very poorly recieved
>not very good despite hype
>flopped hard not very long after launch

Remember, the list isn't "haha, I am a contrarian" it's specifically for times when people avoided spending money on something that turned out to be one of the above.
>>723179613
Sure, anon. I played Rain World, Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon (post EA release), Dredge, Age of Wonders 3, Warband (although I've played it for like a decade), Space Marine 2, KCD2, Elden Ring, Disco Elysium, Terra Invicta, Sacred 2, Tyranny, Hades 2, Expeditions: Rome. Those are just pulled from my recently played on Steam.

I fell for several things on the list; Brink, Spore, and Cyberpunk.
>>723179893
>Godus
kekked, don't worry anon it got a lot of people.
>>723179589
Is Victoria 3 that bad?

>>723179226
I don't actually, that was the first time i ever said it, i was just trying to fit in...

>>723179964
go on anon. tell us what you fell for.

it's okay. we're all buds here. for me it was Brink, Spore, and Cyberpunk

>>723179942
>MFW HE FELL FOR BALATRO

I have literally never ever seen anyone on /v/ mention it so I suspect I might be the only soul on here who was retarded enough to fall for Patterns (sandbox game from the Second Life devs)

>>723177684 (OP)
>TFW DIDN'T FALL FOR VR
but... half life alyx was the system super duper seller... what happened?

>>723180267
When VR got another bump with the Oculus Rift, people started pretending it was finally the big moment when VR hits mainstream. It got a few decent games, and a few more existing old games were ported to VR for some fun results.

But at the end of the day, it turned out most people didn''t want to use "upgrade your GPU/get a new console" money to play tech demos and janky ports

>tfw didn't fall for GW 2
>tfw didn't fall for any Borderlands past 2

>>723177738
i didnt fall for Hytale. I knew that shit was gonna die in development.

>>723177684 (OP)
VR is based, the forefront demo was great. good vr battlefield

>>723177684 (OP)
Dodged all of them except Fallout 76
Paid full price on launch
I was desperate for a shooter with character customization and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. made me fall for it
Todd won :(

>>723180658
falling for fallout 76 at LAUNCH is absolutely nuts.

not as nuts as the people who continue to play it to this day

>>723177684 (OP)
>Fell for Balatro, Fall Guys, Spore, Overwatch, and Red Dead Redemption 2
Overall, with sales, probably spent $150 on falling for it over the years. RDR2 probably hurts the most though since I love the setting and the game is gorgeous. But then you play it and the controls are fucking terrible and unresponsive and the dialogue and characters talk like HR people instead of cowboys.

>>723180771
I was in a dark place

>>723180772
>balatro
is balatro bad? I have only heard about it being loved, what happened?

>>723177684 (OP)
>new world
I'm embarrassed and it gets worse because I have 300 hours in the game.

>>723180840
what was it like sinking in those hours watching every single person make youtube essays about how the game was absolutely fucked?

is it still going?

>>723180839
>is balatro bad?
its redditcore for 30 year old virgins who watch northernlion

>>723177684 (OP)
Id say the last game i fell for was starbound.
Ironically no mans sky kinda captures what i think starbound missed. But i am not really in the mood for long survival games anymore.

>>723177684 (OP)
>do nothing but sit on /v/ all day pretending that video games are your hobby and you aren't just posting canerous bait for (You)s nonstop
>probably hasn't touched a video game in over a decade
>"haha guys I avoided wasting so much money"

>>723177684 (OP)
Indeed, I can't find a single thing on this list that I did fall for. Imagine being the dumb nigger who threw money at these turds LOL

>>723178351
>>723178649
.......and here they are!

I feel for every single one of these…

>>723181517
I knew a guy like that. He just keep falling for things until one day he fell and died

>>723181416
Being poor isnt a desirable personality trait

>>723180926
I don't care, I don't watch essays or videos about mmos.
I stopped playing shortly after they released the DLC and even played a bit of the new version. I have to say it's an okay game, it's not as bad as they say.

>>723181834
being retarded enough to waste your money on dogshit is not more admirable than people who did not do that

>>723178913

this is why whites are getting outbred, they still treat their young adults as kids

Why would you expect anything good from them?

>>723177908
warlords was good, legion was godly, bfa was shit, dragonflight was gay but fine, war within was ok

Still mad, Wollay you faggot.

At least I got it for free, so no loss there other than time.

Molyneaux needs to die.

Hey, I liked it.

And yet I still got ~300 hours out of it somehow.

>>723183378
>entering_the_evil_route.webm

>>723183378
If you play it in anyway, even by pirating, it still counts as falling for it.
I'm sorry.

>>723183378
To think my 5th grade self actually believed any of this shit was real.

>>723183571
Wait, it's not real?

>>723177684 (OP)
The only one I ''fell for'' was DayZ because my friends played it. The game was ok. It did lack content, not really much to do and when you enter buildings there is this weird shit where you get pulled to walls like they are made of magnets, really fucking weird.
The rest of those I can't even get into the mindset of a faggot who would fall for this.
Maybe Spore is excusable if you followed the marketing. I just pirated it when it came out without knowing anything about it.

fall guys was fun until Epic bought it

>>723185017
It's still the exact same game.

>>723177684 (OP)
>>TFW DIDN'T FALL FOR HOGWARTS LEGACY
I'm not really seeing the pitfall here, most people liked it and the most common complaint is the lack of post launch content.

>>723177684 (OP)
almost with you but i did fell for yooka laylee (i didnt buy it at kickstarter so atleast i didnt get ripped off)

>>723185054
nah they added sbmm for some fucking reason and also started vaulting levels so they could have heckin fortnite seasons where they pretend old content is new
I stopped playing it shortly after that. Shame bc it was good brainless fun

>>723182637
>Cubeworld
I fell for the cube as well anon.

That's the only thing on this list I fell for though.
