Looking Back in 2022, So Many Games Came and Went

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So I'm browsing YouTube and looking at GOTY videos, it dawned on me that 2022 was underwhelming as hell. So many games went under the radar or were dead on arrival.

Exhibit A:



Remember this game? Came out last October and was greeted with a meh to reactions, all because of the bugs and greedy nonsense of Blizzard.

Exhibit B:



Came out of nowhere and ended up being forgotten within the next week or so, due to its weird online only stance and the lukewarm career mode.

Exibit C:

Massive marketing but forgotten the next week or so.


Last but not least:

Lol. Heavy marketing, but overlooked and undercooked.

Hopefully this year the feeling can be restored because quite frankly, the only memorable games from 2022 was Elden Ring,....sigh....Vampire Survivor, and Splatoon 3.

Still reading articles and headlines about GOWR. That one is clearly not a case of came and went, event he thread still doing numbers.
I think they just got another awards nomination of some sort.

god of war ragnarok forgotten? Lmao

You can’t say the best selling games of the year are forgotten. Especially when games like Ghostwire, Tiny Tina, The Quarry and a bunch of other AAA games dropped that no one talked about come award season.

for future reference none of these games can be listed in this thread

Lol single player games will always come and go to an extent. After u beat them there isn’t a reason to continue to play it. Overwatch was the only game u said that made sense

If it’s not the type of game that you can make funny gameplay clips of to put on social media then it’ll be “forgotten.”

Overwatch is passed over because all Blizzard games have terrible communities and I think you have to pay for new characters too.

I'm just going off by word of mouth from the trees.

You're my marsupial, but this thread ain't it, breh. I think the least successful of those games might be Dying Light 2, and it still performed pretty well, and got a pretty decent hold of its audience. Gaming discourse is weird now, because if a game isn't to your liking, you can legit never hear about it, despite it being successful.

Even though it's currently in one of its normal downswings, Destiny 2 is one of the more successful games out there, and I imagine most people in this thread couldn't tell you a thing about the last year of the game, or the expansion that's coming out next month.

ngl i thought the same thing about GT7 but its one of those evergreen games. Only reason its kinda low chatter is because it came out so early in the PS5 life cycle

Should have just named the thread,

“Here is a list of games I don’t/haven’t played. Why aren’t people talking about them?”

GT7 was one of my anticipate games, but ended up not buying it at all.
