Everyone expected it to be shit, it was far worse.

Witcher 3. I didn't really enjoy it but it seems like it was what everyone else hoped it would be and more.

Doom 2016

That was par for the course since every expac and vanilla was shit and classic will be shit and private servers are shit.

I thought that Pong was pretty much as advertised. The angular and square equipment provided to you (even the ball was a square) really challenged the player to past artistic norms and to accept new paradigms as to what it meant to play a video game. The monochrome display accentuated the stark minimalism of the game and grounded the players beautifully in a setting that they wouldn't otherwise have traversed.

The masterstroke, though, had to be that you needed to physically travel to different locations in order to experience the game; Literally, you had to leave "your comfort zone" (ie your house or apartment) in order to experience it. As far as I'm concerned, Nolan Bushnell created a masterpiece of which there may never be an equal. It was truly ahead of it's time and will continue to be for many decades.

Bloodborne. Titanfall 2. Skyrim.

WoW was expected to be the biggest MMO and it still managed to be 20x larger than they expected.

Impossible, otherwise it would be adequately or underhyped

Devil May Cry 5. Everybody memed it to the point it was annoying and most of people had no hopes because it's a Capcom game, but it turned out to be really good game.

Stay seething Snoylet.

Best example, yes. You might not like the game but it was everything we wanted, and then we got some more free content, and two of the best DLCs ever made. Actually, is there even any other DLC that can compete?

>implying I own a plastic shitbox
I'm not mad, just disappointed it ended up unfinished and felt more like a tech demo with a bunch of shitty minigames chucked in than a fully fledged game. It's blatantly obvious they spent too much time on the open world they had to rush the rest.

Titanfall 2 for me recently. A friend roped me into playing apex and I had a pretty good time with it, so it got me interested in trying TF2, and holy shit even with me being pretty bad at fast-going the multiplayer still feels so balls-to-the-fucking-wall that it blew away the expectations I had from all the glowing praise about it. It's actually made apex seem a bit worse by comparison since every character in that game now feels like a goddamn schmuck with a pilot ability they snagged from the bargain bin, and I can't help but miss the double jump and wall run whenever I play it now.
