Hey there,

I'm doing research for a video on the biggest videogame-related meltdowns on internet forums etc., and I thought it'd be interesting to hear your opinions.

What are some of the largest, most extreme reactions you've seen in response to a videogame-related event? What sort of things did you see on those days?

Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS... Bayonetta 2 on WiiU... Final Fantasy XIII on 360... there's no shortage of examples for sure.

Looking forward to hearing your responses!

---------------------------

Update: Managed to finish the video with help from suggestions from this forum! It's not professional quality by any means, but I hope you enjoy it (and maybe can get all nostalgic about previous meltdowns that you'd forgotten about :D)

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I'm afraid I haven't paid much attention to these things until I joined this site a year ago.

The Bayonetta 2 fiasco was really bad. I remember some guy starting a site designed solely to encourage consumers to buy a used Wii U and a used copy of Bayonetta so neither Nintendo nor Platinum saw a single cent for their treasonous actions.

Probably Resident Evil 4 on PS2 or Shenmue 2 on the original Xbox.. the conspiracy theories and downplaying were nothing short of hilarious.

Edit: and the PS3 price announcement at E3 2006 - the most rabid and loyal PS/PS2 enthusiasts suddenly cared about Xbox Live and offset analog sticks after mocking the original Xbox for years.
