Genshin Impact

Genshin is a game that's big in Asian markets. You don't need anything but a mobile phone to play.

Zelda. I've only played one. I don't see the appeal.

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.

I thought 4 was really well done. But the problem with Far Cry, is if you play one, you've played them all lol

I liked it and played it. I know people that like the games too. And she's consistently cosplayed in the cosplay community,

I enjoyed both a lot

HZD and HFW sold over 30 million copies. That's not a plant. That's Guerrilla Games trying to squeeze the juice out of a franchise. Just like Capcom does

I don’t think anyone in this thread actually knows what “industry plant” means.

A game can be really good and still be an “industry plant”

It just means the game is getting lots of inorganic backing. Somebody with lots of money is putting lots of push behind it and the industry itself (ie journalists, influencers) have been “influenced” by said backing to hype the game up.

Don’t know what most of yall are even talking about in here

I'm sayin fam. nikkas sayin shyt like The Last Of Us and Uncharted like Naughty Dog didn't have Crash and Jak under their belts beforehand. Callin Zelda an industry plant like it doesn't have multiple entries that are GOAT contenders over 30 years. Like Nintendo is not Nintendo. Folks wildin in here lmao

But Far Cry was hyped as the next big thing and it really wasn't. Maybe you enjoyed it but it was and has been overrated trash.

Farcry was never hyped as the next big thing. First 2 games were relatively unknown, 3rd game was popular, and everything after that has been mid.

I don't recall anyone claiming the series as the next big thing.

U crazy

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

Panam is bae
