If A Game Could Be An "Industry Plant", Who Would It Be?

[Batsute]

Astrobot easily.

The video game equivalent of Chance the Rapper .

Like the mofo came out of nowhere and scoop up all the awards, while Sackboy got blackballed from the industry

Say Sackboy I hear you like em young,
You better never come to PS1

Horizon the one ...


Alloy a character design by committee that for no one - girls dont want to be her and guys dont want to be with her..


she got that same cookie cutter borderline autistic personality they gave every white woman in science fiction / action for the last 10 years...

They made four games within her world in less then ten years more then spiderman !?!?!?

first game got step on by breath of the wild

second one step on by Elden Ring

VR game launch with new ps5 vr - bombs

the lego game bomb worst then concord




ellie - at least loved by her fan base and people hated the death of joel

Games I don't like-The thread.

 

[TheSuperkick!]

The Last of Us is the epitome of industry plant.

Astrobot easily.

The video game equivalent of Chance the Rapper .

Guess I should join in…Resident Evil, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne, Dark Souls, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy…

I’m a little confused on how The Last of Us is an industry plant when the label had already dropped the critically acclaimed Uncharted discography. Which is a classic by the way. The Last of Us is another classic. Last of Us 2 had some fire as far as tuning up the production, but fails to deliver the same lyrical display Last of Us did. The only hype I don’t understand is Astrobot. The fact that it was able to take home a Grammy over Metaphor and Black Myth don’t sit well with me.

Horizon is actually a decent choice for this thread. Alloy got all the production value and marketing budget in the world, but she still has like 0 pull as a video game character. She'll never be Lara Croft, Ellie, or Samus status

You could argue that Panam from Cyberpunk or any of the Baldur's Gate 3 companions got more video game clout than Alloy

If Horizon is Clairo

The titanfall series is spaceghostpurrp

Wait. Nah this crazy. I can see liking one over the other, but neither? Never heard that.

People who wasn't there in the ps3 days when uncharted 2 came out say this

That shyt was like a action movie one of the GOAT games

What? First Far Cry was a well made but not very popular FPS with some of the best graphics back then. It came out in 2004 which was filled with great video game releases.
The 2nd Far Cry had some realism that hardcore FPS gamers had really enjoyed ever since then. Those two games were not super mainstream.

It's in Saints Row trajectory, the game started really dope but then later became a cartoonish mess.

You proving my point. Ubisoft hyped Far Cry up like it was some new age FPS that was going to dominate the market and according to you, fell off after the second game and they still made like 8 more trash games. I remember every year when a new one was announced I would think, who plays these games. Aint no one ever said, check out that new Far Cry

Real ones remember Journey

Notice nobody didn’t mention any Nintendo games..

Straight Quality, baby!

Notice nobody didn’t mention any Nintendo games..

Straight Quality, baby!

Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong are definitely industry plants

Far Cry. Never heard anyone say they were hype for a new one and they made like 10 of them. Trash ass Ubisoft should have given us Beyond Good and Evil 2 or a new Splinter Cell.

blood dragon was very fun and popular
