What's another example of a game that was universally praised until the honeymoon period wore off and everyone realized it was shit?

This is going to be a great thread

DaS2 and MGS5 are the best example of that, I think.

Bioshock Infinite

But MGS5 is the opposite of that.

THIS, literally when it came out everyone was calling it the Citizen Kane or Space Odyssey of video games, but now everyone calls it a piece of shit. Never seen such a drastic change in consensus opinion for a game

not that guy but maybe GZ to full game would fit the description

If anything I think MGSV is better received now than at launch. I think a lot of people have learned to live with the phantom pain that we're never getting chapter 3 and enjoy the game for what it is and not what it could be

Everyone was hyped out of their minds. It was pretty decent, but in no way lived up to the hype.

Breath of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 2 immediately come to mind

Spiderman

It could've been a perfect game and it still wound't have lived to the hype. MGSfags were downright retarded in the 2 years before launch.

In a way, I'm actually glad 5 wasn't what they wanted. Seeing all the asshurt was worth it.

I still play MGO3
it hurts with the ping but I just can't stop

I'm guilty of this myself, I'm pretty sure I got caught up in the art direction and the whirlwind of the story, then I spent a couple of days theorizing about the plot, only to realize that it's completely fucking retarded and I have totally wasted my time and had fallen for the 2deep4u bait.

It wasn't universally praised, it was known upon release how silly some aspects were

cringe

god of war
horizon zero dawn
bioshock infinite
dark souls 2 and 3
metal gear solid 5
skyrim
mass effect 3
red dead redemption 2

sekiro

This, it's going to end up like DS2.

I can't believe IGN gave this shit a 10/10

Just goes to show most gamers are pseuds desperate for the precious medium to be "high art" that places le deep story over gameplay.

RDR2
Persona 5
Skyward Sword

God of War and Horizon were both good games. God of War specifically. Horizon would have been better if not for the obnoxiously ugly characters and power womyn tribe story.

Pic unrelated, I assume?
Dark Souls 2 is still the best soulsborne game, Bloodborne comes as a close 2nd.

Fallout 4 went from loved to hated within probably a month

Also applies to MGSV

Red Dead Redemption 2
GTA V

Literally every modern game

Sekiro

Definitely Sekiro

Got tired of it half an hour into ng+, not touched it since

In retrospect it really didn't excel at anything except the responsiveness of controls. Every other aspect they've done better before

>It was pretty decent
No, it was bad. 4/10 game.

It just all looks the same. It's a great game but it gets artistically mundane after a while.

Bioshock Infinite is probably the most extreme example of this I’ve ever seen. It was praised as a GOAT by critics upon release, but now everyone has either forgotten it or only refers to it negatively.

While I like both these games, I think Fallout 3 and Final Fantasy VIII also saw a similar shift in popular opinion. Although much of that shift happened due to e-celebs criticising them rather than time passing.

Everyone on Yea Forums said it was bad from release day

it can't, it has bosses that are too good.
I fucking love genichiro and the ape

Nope. SJW trash with GoW skin on it and SJW trash that had "lol robots".

>check out some bioshock infinite music on youtube
>see comments like "gaming masterpiece of this generation"
>instantly wish there was a world wide nuclear holocaust

Every game you like

>dark souls 3
i agree with the list except for that

Basically half the Sony published PS4 games

Every single modern game.

no user just no now go wash your tongue out with soap and revitalize your obviously shitty tastes

fuck right off faggot

DA Inquisition, It even won the GOTY

This. I have done NG+ to get the return ending but the game is vastly overrated. The world and story is boring beyond belief, some of the gameplay mechanics poorly thought out and not much variety.

Unironically one of the best games I played in my life

Fallout 3 is widely held as one of the best in the series. We just have too many avellone masturbators here who joined the series with NV.

you just reminded me of fable 1

cope, its easily goty and froms best game

>cope, its easily goty and froms best game
why?

GoW really wasn't. It was the polar opposite. The story was distinctly european and white, about a strong father teaching his idealistic son about the realities of the world. At most you could say there were strong women in the form of the mother's orchestrating the plot or the witch.

Horizon yeah it really was, however the gameplay was great.

Bloodborne is from's best game. GOTY is Resident Evil 2.

>Citation needed

Probably review scores but we all know they are useless. Things get high reviews for being big releases or for political reasons. Add to that reviewers being scared to rate down a From game and being called a shitter who couldn't finish it.

seething

i realized it was shit when like two weeks before the fucking game released they put out a new batch of media which was a total fucking downgrade from the preview they showed months before.

Even other communities like Reddit are starting to hold the opinion that NV is better. It’s trendy to hate on Bethesda at the moment.

One thing I’ve noticed in recent years is that opinions on certain games have been changing in one way or another. NV was once widely regarded as a buggy disappointment, but now it’s regarded as one of the best games ever made. Kingdom Hearts 2 also used to be widely considered inferior to 1, but ever since the Final Mix version got released in the west, that opinion has completely reversed.

Red Dead Redemption 2.
I wasn't even hyped for it.

Dark Souls 2 being bad is a meme.

Fucking this. I spent literally 40 hours and 15 main story quests waiting for the fucking game to begin before I realized I was playing the game all along.

Ammo is infinite, choice of gun is borderline worthless outside of reload times and "damage to bear's heads" and there's really no incentive to upgrade or do ANYTHING.

Yes because NV is literal reddit, as is everything avellone produces.

DS2 was still considered good until that literal who released his "critique" video of it. Then every idiot on Yea Forums jumped on the bandwagon because they're always looking for the next TOR. Everyone outside of Yea Forums still thinks it's a great game.

The problem is that Rockstar has yet to find a way to evolve their formula beyond GTA 3.
All they have done ever since is add more and more pointless secondary activities that barely have anything to do with the rest of the game.

At the risk of getting shat on by all of Yea Forums, i'm going to say that even Ubisoft's generic open world games make me want to play the secondary content more than Rockstar games.
I don't think i've ever dedicated myself to doing secondary stuff in a Rockstar game since GTA SA.

but both of those games are good

Just metacritic things.

At least it was bashed here since launch.
Only later did people defend it as easy bait.

Ironically, the only way they’ve changed their formula is by making the missions more linear and scripted with every game. Basically just making the formula worse.

DS2 was a good game, though. It wasn't as good as the others, but it was still a pretty solid game.

I think that FO3 only started to genuinely get flack once FNV came out and improved on almost every aspect of that game.

If it were really shit you wouldn't post about it every fucking day since 2012,it's just bait because you know people still play it.

Pic not related?

Except of course world, story, glitch frequency, graphics, and voice acting.

soon shitkrio

Already.

Unironically this

I think NV has a worse open world than 3, but the story of NV is so much better that it isn’t even funny. I actually think that’s part of the reason NV is generally more well liked now. Both games have aged like milk in terms of gameplay, but NV at least has decent writing, which more people are going to cling to than FO3’s benefit of having better level design.
