Metroid Other M: This is the game that made me stop pre-ordering games. We were fresh off the end of the Prime Trilogy and so hyped to hear that Ninja Thoery was making the next one. The controls were decent, the gameplay was mediocre, and the story was awful.

Have you ever considered that it's not 'gaslighting' and just people like games you don't? I can't speak for Morrowind because I've never played it, but I loved Wind Waker and Mario 64 as a kid. There are plenty of popular games that I don't enjoy, like the entire GTA series or Civilization series, but I don't assume people are lying to me or have been tricked into enjoying them. I just assume I enjoy different things.

Bloodborne, supposed to be one of the best games of the generation, I hate this type of game, of die repeat die repeat. 

I'd have said Witcher 3 which is boring, but at least the game isn't bad, I like it, just too much talk, not enough gameplay.

It may just be me.  I was born with a deformity where I only have 2 hands.

Everyone has different tastes.  People are free to like whatever they want.  Gaslighting is about lies being spread like they are the truth.  What I am saying is about more than just taste. 

Some games are pretending to be something they are not.  It becomes more obvious though when the imposter game is put up against the real thing.  Mario 64 and New Super Mario Bros were both put on the DS.  The market chose 2D Mario by a landslide.  This happened again on the Wii with the big budget Mario Galaxy and the smaller budget NSMB Wii.  2D Mario sold more by a landslide.  But if you go online everyone will tell you that 3D Mario is the "real Mario".  That is gaslighting.  In fact 2D Mario came first and is far more popular.  The real Mario is actually 2D Mario.

I am saying the same thing about the other games.  Wind Waker is not real Zelda.  It's a spinoff posing as the real thing.  You can like the game if you want, but it's just not the real thing.  I like Dragon Quest Builders and Final Fantasy Tactics, but I know these are spinoff games. 

The Elder Scrolls gaslights the whole RPG genre.  No one used the term JRPG in the NES days when Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy were first made.  There were plenty of RPGs made by Western developers on PC, but no one used the term JRPG.  They started using this when Elder Scrolls became popular.  First they invent the term JRPG and then they tell you why JRPGs suck.  ("Turn based RPGs shouldn't even be made anymore.")  That is gaslighting.

Again, I want to reiterate that your tastes are not wrong.  You like Wind Waker, and I don't.  If that were the only issue then I would have no problem.  But when someone is gaslighting, they will tell you your tastes are wrong.  Go a few posts above this one and you'll see a guy saying it is my fault that I don't like Morrowind.  That is part of the gaslighting.  He may even be very authentic when he says this.  The most effective gaslighters have been gaslighted themselves.  They spread lies authentically believing they are the truth.  But they also need you to validate their lies.  I have to like The Elder Scrolls or it's my fault.  If I like The Elder Scrolls then it validates the gaslighting.

SpongeBob games: I and my cats expected more anchovies!

MGS5. Words can't describe how disappointing the game ended up being. This is someone who completed big boss ranking on MGS1-4.

Bolded: My brother from another mother!!! I also don't get all the hate FFXIII gets. It's an awesome game. I think it's more of a pose thing.

On topic: Metal Geat Solid 5, I absolutely loved the first part of the Phantom Pain, it's near perfect, but the second part... I get depressed everytime I think about what that game could've been if Konami and Kojima didn't had their falling out.

Same. After blowing through the "demo" but not dedicating a lot of time, I felt like MGS5 could recapture the magic that I personally thought was lost in MGS4. MGS5 wound up being the first Metal Gear game in the history of Metal Gear games, aside from the PSP card games, that I didn't at least finish once.  

Oh boy.. So many hyped games that disappointed me.

-Duke Nukem Forever. I can't believe they released it a vaporware in 2010s late as hell when many PS3/XBox360 games were pushed to the limit.

-Aliens Colonial Marines. For fuck sake gearbox again, the money you took from the publisher went to Borderlands huh?

-Mighty No.9. What the fuck, Keiji Inafune.. That was like hype train had enormously accident by jumping off into a sludgy ooze shit lake while tons of Mega Man fans got drowned to death, shame on you!

-Metal Gear Solid V. LOL first time making open world genre? Especially the true ending, GG Kojima!

-Deus Ex Mankind Divided. ONE BOSS??? JUST ONE SINGLE BOSS IN ENTIRE GAME???

-Halo 5. Seriously? Less Master Chief missions and pathetic 3.5 hours campaign?

-Fallout 76. No comment.

-Red Dead Redemption II. I'm tired of this ultra realistic mechanism bullshit, clunkiest game i ever played.

-Kingdom Hearts III. Ehhh nothing special, same old traditional KH game and Nomura, please stop crying because of your cancelled FF13 Versus.

-Resident Evil 6. :facepalm: They overadded too many QTE, cliche or comedian cutscenes, broken AI and a bio T-Rex? What?

-Metroid Other M. They made Samus Aran a bitch, nuff said.

That's enough for me, i'll stop here.

I can agree with this too.  Once you get past those first 20 hours then FF13 becomes extremely fun.  I consider those first 20 hours to be inexcusable though.  If I could somehow take the first 20 hours out of the game, then I'd probably put it into my top 50 games of all time.  For me it's like night and day.
