Examples of this?

Why did he poop a stick of rancid ass butter?

100%. TORtanic sent Yas Forums into a raging death spiral it never pulled out of.

Did SC2 really look that bad during development? I only remember everyone being super hyped for it back in the day.

Same I actually dreaded it's release but it turned out fun.

DX:HR

Animal crossing new horizons unironically

BUT I WANTED WAFFLES

Tortanic was a great time to be on Yas Forums

Mario vs Rabbids

Mario + Rabbids

From old games, Deus Ex. After Daikatana, everyone was ripping Ion Storm to shreds. People from the Austin studio noted how difficult time it was for them.

I think Human Revolution qualifies as well. Pretty much every press release was a catastrophe, but after the demo version leak, public opinion turned 180 degrees.

Starcraft 2 is pretty mediocre though, WoL was peak SC2 and it only got worse with HotS and LotV. That's only multiplayer too, the actual campaign spiraled out of control into shit.

good old hivemind, but fitting example, everyone thought that would end up shit

deus ex human revolution was the original inspiration and most clear example. it's lost most significance in the modern nu-Yas Forums era where every big game is the treated as the next tortanic until proven otherwise.

This 100%

I thought The Witcher 3 would be complete shit when they announced they were going open world.
Turned out better than I expected, although I would've prefered a more linear game that didn't have a rushed ending.

Monster Hunter World

Breath of the Wild

Fallout 4

Of all the hiveminds ive witnessed this seems the most unlikely

MGR

Death Stranding, The Last of Us

Terraria

Butcher Bay

Where did you think butter comes from? It's kind of in the name, man.

Farcry 5

The game shows itself as shit within the first 5 minutes, how in the fuck could it be confused for gold

Maybe he's a journalist and only played 4 minutes.

I hate Ubisoft but FC5 somehow broke away from almost everything that ruins most of their games. The micro-transactions are kinda shit, but everything can be bought with money anyway. The characters and setting were great, too. Too bad New Dawn was the polar opposite and a total shitshow.

>public opinion turned 180 degrees
So it stayed exactly the same?

sonic movie

Brutal Legend

>he wasn't there for the hype train and subsequent release
>he didn't play it for a few hours and then realize that it will never actually get good
>he thinks the game got bad 5 minutes in

Doom 2016

Doom 2016. I expected giant shit.

>Mass effect Andromeda

Half life alyx for sure

>inb4 poorfag

Bloodstained.

Sonic the hedgehog movie

Star Wars Fallen Order

>the sonic movie
>gold

>when Yas Forums eats ass

yes the game got bad 5 minutes in when you're presented with those horrible dialogue choices and the story that starts off making 0 sense.

i didn't need 5 hours Todd

Deus Ex Human Revolution
Doom (2016)
Persona 5
Monster Hunter World
The Witcher 3

I have none as it has never happened

Seething

>WAAAAAH HE INSULTED MY INITIALLY INTERESTING BUT TECHNICALLY SHALLOW GAME
I believe you are the one who is seething here, yes?

seethe of the wild

The Last of Us

Sekiro

Absolutely no one genuinely expects HLA to be shit.

Any game I don't like

it's not even out

Every single game.

>he got you to play around in his shit with a knife

Who is the real winner here?

Dying Light and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
After Dead Island and Call of Juarez 3 didn't think there was any hope for techland, but they struck gold somehow.

Cyberpunk 2077 most likely

i would say the man with the knife
but really its both of them because they had so much fun playing together
theyre total bros dont tell me you dont play with your homies shit

Fire Emblem Three Houses

The Nintendo Switch
