Like, you were ready to shit on a game that maybe had a troubled development or some bad PR before release, but the game turned out to be pretty solid.

Nope. I don't look to shit on games. If I'm looking to shit on it, I don't play it.

I did think The Order 1886 was better than people said. I wasn't disappointed by it though.

I know a lot of people with mixed feelings over Fire Emblem: Awakening being considered good, but I don't think that's what you're asking about

If I end up liking a "bad" game that usually ends up as a pleasant surprise more than anything.

I guess I didn't want to like the Mario/Rabbids crossover thing, but it ended up being a fun game. I still hate the rabbids though.

Well, people do seem to take some glee in torching games before release.

I just notice a lot of youtube videos talking about how bad X game is get as many views as those praising great titles. So there's a market for it!

TBF happens a lot in other mediums, but kinda wanted to keep it gaming related.

I feel like a game like Mighty Number 9 that generated a good deal of drama, is the kind of game where some people did take pleasure in its failure.

Had the game been better received with the same pre-release drama, I wonder if there wouldn't be a little bit of disappointment that they wouldn't be leading the lynch mob.

I'm struggling to think of a game though that had a ton of pre-release drama and then turned out better than expected. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

DOOM has to be the gold standard modern day example of this. MP Beta that nobody cared for, live E3 demo that put people off, poor marketing prior to launch, the first game under Bethesda's new 'no advance reviews, ever' mantra, and yet the result is arguably the best FPS campaign in nearly a decade.

You are disappointed because you wanted to "shit on" a game for being bad but it turned out to be good so now you can't "shit on" it

Throwing out some reasons as to why some people might not want to see a game succeed.

Like you might just not like the people making the game because of their politics or stuff they said, so you wish for their games to not be good.

I'm sure many wouldn't want to see that Cyberpunk game shown at E3 to do well.

There are plenty of people who pre-judge games before they're released heavily

Whether it's good or does well there are those obnoxious bunch who want to a game to fail just because they dont want to like it or want to be hipsters

I mean there are definitely people who take satisfaction in a game (or any other form of media, really) being bad so they can say they were right about it

it's along the same lines I think

Yeah, I won't have much of a problem if The Last Night ends up being a really good game.

Though after the nice trailer, it got some real bad PR real fast.

Yeah I actually came in to say MGSu (I'm going with that for now) is like the perfect example of a game people are probably desperate to shit on.

I'm sceptical about buying it (the whole thing feels dirty, but it's Metal Gear) but if I buy it I definitely want it to be good.

Yes. I was ready to shit on FFXV after watching the director's forced shit eating smiling face lie about needing a delay for making his game even better. That apology video was so cringe Tabata had to make a forced smile into the camera every 30 seconds explaining why he needed the delay and how he wants other games to run away from how awesome his game will be.

I ended up platinuming the game so >_>

I guess this happens to me with movies sometimes, i.e. I want the Minions movie to be bad because Minions need to stop being a thing and maybe if the movie is sufficiently bad they'll stop being a thing. But it's never happened with games.

Stuff like Metroid Prime and Ocarina of Time being successes were in the long run disappointing to me because it meant less games in the 2d style which I actually liked quite a lot for both of them, much more than the FPS/3D styles.

Opening post says that's not actually what this is about though. Can't relate to what's described there.

I think some people were expecting Sonic Boom to be the next Sonic 2006. It had some pretty bad stuff in Day 1 and Day 2, but that's it. Nowhere near Sonic 2006 levels.

That's really all I can think of, though.

A game I expected to hate but then played it anyway and liked it..? hmm..no..I can't recall
The opposite happens of course, a game you want to enjoy turns out to be trash happens often
Also most games that I were ok with but are now hated by most people were considered "good" when I played them, and the fanbase general opinion just shifted (Pokemon Sun Moon for example)

It's just..when I hear that a game is terrible I ask myself why bother playing it?
There are like 324324 games I want to play and I don't have time for them, why would I waste whatever limited time I have on a game that many people seem to hate?
The only reason I would do it as if it's part of a series marathon (like, "play all Zelda games" would involve playing the CD-I games..ugh. And All Final Fantasy Games would mean I have to play FFII, FFIII and FFVIII >_>)

This isn't exactly the same thing as the topic is asking but when my brother got Morrowind I was critical of this decision because I hadn't even heard of the game before

Then it turned out to be a top ten of all time
