Amnesia: The Bunker
After Rebirth I was expecting more story-focused pretentious homosexualry, instead I got pure gameplay and mechanics that gives zero fricks about the story.
It was easily my GOTY for 2023.
Was pleasantly surprised by The Bunker, even played it through 3 times
The late game sucks so that knocked it down a star for me. The Roman tunnels weren't the least bit scary or interesting. Going through soldier's quarters, maintenance, and the arsenal was absolute kino however. You start to admire the monster a little bit in an adversarial way as you learn how he works. Wish I could play it blind again. Didn't give 2 fricks about Amnesia until this game
Legends Arceus is this I guess, I genuinely expected it to be shit but a friend made me try it out and it's the best Pokémon game since Explorers of Sky.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
I thought it was gonna be one of those overambitious kickstarter games that end up being shit for spreading themselves too thin. I never expected it to be basically like a Bethesda game that's actually good.
Back in the top 3 or 4 again just a few days ago, I recall. And DOTA and Counterstrike are always the top 2 no matter what, so you may as well ignore them when looking at what is popular.
I honestly expected Elden Ring to be a gigantic disappointment, a solid 7/10. From Software transitioning to a giant open world just seemed like way more of an undertaking than they could handle, a step way too far.
Boy was I pleasantly surprised when all those 10/10s started pouring in.
So far, only BOTW. That was the time when I changed my mindset that it's not the tendie games that are terrible; only the fans.
The opposite was numerous though.
None
Dragon's Dogma
Repetitive button mashing garbage
so far, I don't know a single one.
visual novel if good
What's the point? You can't eat gold.
You can sell it and use the money to buy food.
Beat me to it.
Right, the guy at the gas station won’t even break a $100 bill, you think he has change of a bar of gold
You don't use it to barter, you sell it and use the cash you receive from selling it for food.
You can actually, it will simply pass through your digestive system.
You're one stupid motherfricker, anon. Just wanted you to know that before we 404.
How do you think the top guy managed to shit out a perfect bar of gold? Obviously he first had to eat it.
Actually he evolved into being able to make gold from all the lead in his body.
have you never heard of the story of the golden goose?
it's butter
>sell gold for money
>money can be used to purchase goods and services
anon I think we may be able to buy food with it
you cant
all the restaurants serve ass gold
You cant eat shit either.
Actually you can. There's even a popular coffee brew that is cat shit alcohol is also yeast shit
>guys...GUYS..ethanol is just le yeast poop when you think about it
Wow good point, totally justifies you eating your gay partner's beefy logs

World of Warcraft Dragonflight, Diablo 4
a blizztroon cultist in the wild
nasb
Pokemon from tendies pov
not all Pokémon games, but Legends Arceus was good
Legends Arceus is this I guess, I genuinely expected it to be shit but a friend made me try it out and it's the best Pokémon game since Explorers of Sky.
I can't think of many other examples though.
Ass creed black flag
FO76
Post the full version. You know what I mean.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
I thought it was gonna be one of those overambitious kickstarter games that end up being shit for spreading themselves too thin. I never expected it to be basically like a Bethesda game that's actually good.
don't get fooled bros!
Every time an AAA game launches since marketers realized they actually need to shill on Ganker.
Unironicaly starfield
Of course bro anon, everything ever is shit, nothing can ever be enjoyable!
Starfield. All hype and marketing, but wow what a shallow and generic game. Haven't been this disappointed since Diablo 3 launched.
why would it make a clunk if it was shit coated in gold
Sonic Frontiers
He doesn't eat enough fiber.
Sound effects are shit.
Keep your wojakshit to your containment site.
that's not a wojack, anon.
>I drew it extra badly so it doesn't count
lurk more
Stop pretending like you were born before 2012.
how new are you?
>mspaint is wojack
unironically, with all the best intent in my heart: lurk moar
street fighter 6 once the drive rush and luke/ken/jp meta were formed
BG3 and FOTM
>you should play FOTM my fellow anon, best game of the year
>play, is mediocre or shit
every fricking time
bump
BG3 is really held back by using 5E
>Primarily single player game
>Flavor of the month
>Still regularly in the Top 10 of concurrent players on Steam 5 months later
Ignore the schizos, five months later still going strong.
Back in the top 3 or 4 again just a few days ago, I recall. And DOTA and Counterstrike are always the top 2 no matter what, so you may as well ignore them when looking at what is popular.
Terraria looked like a shitty cash-in on the Minecraft hype using Final fantasy knockoff assets, I can’t believe it is good
Being good is just the difference between stealing and copying.
You can't eat gold
What game?
Any AAA GaaS-slop. Take your pick.
Saints Row reboot
Shit is exactly poisonous and eating it can very much kill you
Forklift driver simulator and whatever else german autists play
Every new pokemon game that comes out.
Human Revolution.
Bugsnax
doom 2016
None for me. Plenty of shit bricks in gold foil though.
Jedi: Fallen Order
Starfield. All that day 1 footage and 9/10 reviews from hand picked reviewers almost tricked me.
Armored Core 6
Where's the continuation where it's chocolate
Kenshi
Dragons Dogma
Rimworld
All looked crap but are amazing games
Kenshi and Rinworld spent like decade in EA.
Robocop: Rogue City
None.
This is a dead meme
Psychonauts 2
Xenoblade 2
Nah, that was shit, from the character designs to 80% of the story and dialogue.
>the character designs
back to twitter with thee
No Man Sky
no matter how much polish it gets NMS is still never going to be gold
Mechwarrior 5
Cyberpunk
NMS
so its bad at first but gets good later? idk how to interpret it
It was shit at release but the devs kept sharting/adding features until the game reached a great state
ENOGOODENING
Dark Souls 2
I honestly expected Elden Ring to be a gigantic disappointment, a solid 7/10. From Software transitioning to a giant open world just seemed like way more of an undertaking than they could handle, a step way too far.
Boy was I pleasantly surprised when all those 10/10s started pouring in.
I don't get it
Can you format it like the 2 guys mining diamonds?
Yeah but how hard can he pee?
the on foot sections are men but the car combat had me hooked for hours. new twisted metal when?
Ultrakill
Went in expecting generic shitty boomer zoomer and got the best fps ever made
vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin.
Killer Instinct 2013
People freaked about the artstyle, but then it was the best fighter made in the past decade
Sleeping dogs. To this day, the only obvious shill campaign game that ended up being good
So far, only BOTW. That was the time when I changed my mindset that it's not the tendie games that are terrible; only the fans.

EDF
Ace Combat 7
I thought it was a corncob in the thumbnail
BG3 unironically.
Most recently? KCD. It's basically a tradition at this point for me to despise eurotrash, but I put in 20 hours in 2 days.
