User Banner (3 Days): Hostility, previously warned for the same.
again, fuck off.
No you just said something silly in an attempt to hit nerve. Poor effort.
Hey, it seems as though you like your cinematic Sony blockbusters; good for you. I'm just listing another contender for this thread as OP asked.
Here's a silly one I remembered.
This isn't some massive triple A hype fest but, after the PS4 came out, there were people so wild for a next-gen souls-like RPG, I remember a not insignificant amount of forum users trying to jazz themselves up for Bound by Flame. Oof.
It's pretty much the repeat of the Two Worlds vs Oblivion hype that happened after the 360 launch.

It's fine to find those type of games less appealing, but try to think outside of your own bubble or beyond confirmation bias, and appreciate countless others do not feel the same way. The game literally just won Era's 2016 GOTY all over again last week, and here you are saying it was one of the most quickly forgotten hyped games lol.
Has nothing to do with my preference. Saying a 16 million plus selling 2016 GOTY winner is the most forgotten hyped game is makes no sense objectively.
i want to say artifact, but it can't really be that forgettable if i always remember how much money i wasted on it whenever it's mentioned

Twitch numbers for a primarily single player game is completely useless. You'll see the same trend with all major SP titles.
I'd argue that if it wasn't for the RP mods for GTA 5, it would also not be anywhere near the top on twitch.
Why not look at some actually factual metric, like, sales numbers? Forgettable games don't have good legs. Good initial sales are one thing, but good word of mouth is required for sustained sales.
So forgettable that 8 months after its release it's still charting and even beating out new AAA releases.
Majority of last fall's big releases (AC Odyssey, Black Ops 4, Battlefield 5) have mostly fizzled out, while RDR 2 is still holding on. And all that while RDR 2 outsold the first RDR in 12 days.
Shameless fanboyism courtesy of takriel himself? I for one am shocked!
Why don't you just fuck off yourself if you talk like that about the opinions of others?? I am totally with him. Uncharted 4 is not forgettable because I keep remembering how much that fucking game sucks. Fucking walking simulator: the original.
(coming from a fan of 1, 2 and 3)
similarly, shadow of mordor.
2014 was so barren, mediocre games were goty.
in terms of the most hyped game that was forgotten the quickest, ill go with anthem as well.
its a head shoulder above shadow of colossus.u r missing out. if you have a pro give it a try.
Anthem.
Was supposed to be the next destiny and it came and went like nothing happened.
"The *insert game* is so forgettable me and my fellow minority of dissenters won't shut up about it years after release to tell everyone how forgettable and secretly bad it is.
I forgot it.
A truly forgotten game, that one.
Now excuse me as I go to "Your controversial opinions" thread to forget it some more"
people who are saying uncharted 4
it came out 2016, was the GOTY in 2016 ,sold over 15 million copies and we have a thread about it every other week.Multiplayer userbase is pretty active and u can find a room to play MP anytime of the day.
how is it considered forgotten?

When a videogame causes you to be hostile to others, maybe it's time to dial it back.
But the thing is Anthem wasn't really hyped. People were very skeptical from right back when it was announced. "Cautious interest", maybe. But not "hype".
Maybe it's time to re-read the context of this entire interaction before engaging in inane and entirely off-base moralizing
If you think it's a forgettable game, then that's that. Other people's opinions on the matter don't really factor in it at all. I don't necessarily agree with your answer myself, but if that's what you think then who am I to say your opinion is wrong?
this prove literally nothing lmao

Well done OP you win. I came in here to post Anthem but when I read your post I literally thought "holy shit I forgot about evolve" so there you go.
I would say the first Titanfall. Hyped as _the_ systemseller and the next big thing ending the CoD reign.
That's probably a game that's a bigger success than anybody was expecting. It's still doing well in the charts.
you are speaking of being disrespectful to devs in a thread where people trash their games. Oh the irony.
Even though people were wary anyway - Anthem. The game was such a disaster it deserves the label.
The Order 1886 comes to mind too, it wasn't a bad game, but for a full priced game it was a bit of a disaster and it barely gets a mention anywhere now after the normal Sony exclusive pre-release hype.

If you want the ignore the premise of, or didn't bother to even read the OP, sure. But the question posed or implicated wasn't which game was forgettable to a user on an individual level, rather in the wider context and generally speaking. I'd imagine those with some level of common sense could realise games like RDR2, UC4, BotW etc do not fall under such criteria, but that's certain members of Era for you. Not everyone here is exactly the broadest thinking or most logical, or actually bothers to read or understand the premise of an OP.
Nah man, Resident Evil 7 takes that crown.
edit:
Although...the Evolve one is reeeeeeally good; you've got a point XD
I wasn't comparing them, I was explaining why I had hype for the game to begin with.
I was in Penn Station around the time Evolve released, and the entire place was covered in ads for it. It was marketed to the same level as a Rockstar game. I wasn't interested in it but assumed it would be big at the time from the E3 hype and marketing push.
I totally agree with this sentiment. The game is just so boring and a classic case of style over substance.
