| The_BlackHeart__ said: Am I right with this definition? Sleeper hit: A game that did not get the "essential" treatment before release, but that ended up being perceived as such by critics and gamers in general. Splatoon is definitively a "hit". But I have the impression that the game got way too much attention before releasing to be considered "sleeper". With that being said, the best candidate for this category IMO is Rocket League. It took every non-beta tester by surprise. |
problem with the word essential treatment was gamers are pessimistc about the game, most likely those non Wii U owners. Splatoon is one of the sleeper hit contender i would say. it got an impression in a negative way and yet it became a hit to gamers who like a different type of shooter. I wouldn't discredit Rocket League that it was a sleeper hit but it is free right?
