After the “hype train failure” thread blew up on here, let’s have some positivity! What games did you go in with negative expectations, only to get absolutely blown away? Were you a non-believer and a cynic? Or was everyone expecting a failure?
For me, it was Ghost of Tsushima. Despite the acclaim, I saw it as an Assassin’s Creed knock off and never bothered to play it. Plus I knew someone who’d complained about the side content, and I’d seen articles where people complained about the historical inaccuracies. Saw a copy someone had tossed in the bins (along with a few other games), ans gave it a go. Fell in love. Platinumed the game, couldn’t put it down. What a fool I was for not enjoying it sooner.
Specifically the 3rd case of Ace Attorney: Duel Destinies. I knew the game didnt have its original creator on hand and they forced Phoenix back into protagonist roll
when they really didnt need toso the game was at a big negative for me going in. First two cases were fine but nothing special. Third case legitimately surprised me with how good it was.Absolutely hated the last case of the game but the third case deserves major props
