10 Games Everyone Thought Were Scams but WERE NOT

[@SiverFangBlackWing]

Black Myth feels like they showed what they could do, got people to invest and more talent to join, and then they finally came out with a good finished game by not rushing it. I heard there were bugs, but I never had any. This was what No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk could have been and eventually did become had they been in development for longer.

[@LecherousLizard]

Most of Cyberpunk bugs and performance issues were only something you could see on last-gen consoles. On PC I experienced exactly two bugs, one which was fixed in like the first patch (some goofy textures in one location) and the other one was my car randomly clipping through the road as I was riding it, which I was unable to replicated in my ~120 hours of play. Had zero problems with stability or general performance. The polish (no pun intended) on it, yeah, particularly the police AI and spawning was atrocious, but you could go your entire playthrough without ever getting a single wanted star, so it ultimately wasn't even a relevant issue.

[@wnejnuhgno1097]

I have finished black myth wukong and never had any bug so far

[@Tamikawashere]

Making it in China was probably easier. And they are now working on an expansion, and I can not wait!!!

[@LecherousLizard]

@@Tamikawashere The devs literally live in China, where else would they even be making a game?

[@rodrigosoave2547]

@@LecherousLizard I bought cyberpunk in day one on PC. It never faced a bug once in the game, but the game itself was poor. The secondary content aside from the main quest were lame, boring and repetitive, they promoted so high the idea of many different outcomes and freedom of progression but in the end the game has like 4 endings and even less important things to change trough history. I was really disappointed with this game, they promised so much and delievered too few. I hope they'll fix this in cyberpunk 2 and make an actual RPG.

[@JesserDaddy]

I thought black myth was basically a boss monster hunter game with a super closed arena like environment based on a trailer and was ready to forget all about it. Bought it day 1 after previewing gameplay while holding my breath and crossing my fingers. I havent even thought about any other game since its release. I skipped work monday just to play it without my kids around 😂 i am 100% sucked into it and the world and story they created. One of thee absolute best games i have ever played and cannot wait for the new content theyre making for it. I’ll preorder any game from game science now. And i havent pre ordered for about 4 years

[@harrylarry6324]

Black myth is the perfect example that it is still VERY possible to create great games with a smaller dev team. It’s just that larger producers are too busy squeezing as much money from their consumers as they can, they became akin to that of scammers.

[@cowboyw520]

GS was a small team back then but the trailers shown eventually attracted massive growth and investments for them, look at the end credit, this game is such a collaborative effort that it deserves all the cultural celebration

[@哈比人-y1g]

Small team but with some of the 1% developers in China, if you search up the portfolio of the people in the team you wouldn't be surprise why Black Myth is a success.

[@tsnoob4669]

What's more amazing is how, despite being a complete game, the devs had to cut out a lot of content from the main game due to budget issues. Which was understandable since they're a pretty new dev team that started making their 1st big game. Originally, it was supposed to have about 13 chapters, but instead, they brought it down to 6.

[@sws212]

They built a tech demo and then got a huge amount of funding after from Tencent and the Chinese government which is also why you see a good number of other non-MOBA Chinese games releasing. This was not a small team or an indie production for at least the past 2, 3 years. China has been spending a lot of money on gaming ever since games like Genshin Impact.

[@SilverSpectre266]

Wukong was truly a unicorn and felt like a fever dream game. Oddly enough, the one thing its trailer did was both seem believable, yet too good to be true at the same time. Like, there are times when you can tell a game looks just way too good and like its simulated gameplay. Just basically a high rendered cutscene made to look like people are playing, but Wukong actually looked legit. And then it was legit. Thinking about Wukong, I hope the people that made Atomic Heart can learn what from what they did with that game, and make their next one better. Because I remember that game seeming too good to be true, and was surprised when it eventually came out, but it just wasnt there fully as a gameplay experience.

[@Dk9776v]

Completely agree about Atomic heart. I enjoyed it but it def had its flaws. It seemed like it teetered on the edge of greatness the whole play through and just never went all the way over. If there’s a sequel I do hope they learn from mistakes because the foundation of the game is solid

[@lagrangewei]

[@SomeoneWitSkill]

Honestly, Wukong and System Shock remake should be number 1 and 2 IMO. The other games were either indie games that LOOKED like an indy game, or made by a massive studio who has done big things before. While FF7 remake seemed unlikely...it's Square Enix, they have done this before. But Wukong looked way too good to be true, the graphics, storyline, artwork, combat, all looked too good to be done by a unknown Chinese developer. Same with SS, while it was done by a decent studio, they haven't made something like that before and both games turned out amazing.

It's the perfect game for people who complain that real life keeps them away from gaming. Only have half an hour a day?

Nordic Ashes is another game I recommend for the same reasons.

The difference of Days Gone and Black Myth Wulong is that the latter’s first trailer was full of animation while the first’s trailer had a limited amount; it just contained beautiful static assets, something which is a given when using modern engines like Unreal Engine 5.

[@SuperiorPosterior]

I've been enjoying the game myself (I never played its ancestral games), but there's almost too much to do in the game. In the kinda guy who loves to play a game blind on the first run through, but this game is just so full of things to do that I'm honestly thinking of looking up guides for some of the side stuff, like the Beigoma (and I've also heard rumors of a racing mini game?). I had to put it down for the past two months just to decompress, lmao

[@Namorat]

@@SuperiorPosterior Absolutely fair! I honestly believe the Beigoma game is not handled very well. For one it is introduced very early but can only really be tackled later on unless you are dedicated to it and it is a strange mix of button mashing and luck as well. Plus it is one side activitiy you to progress pretty far if you want the best ending. Most people disliked it, I think, I personally think it was simply too much but a funny distraction overall. In general, I think the mini games are fun, unless you aim to get the achievement/trophy because then it becomes a time consuming task. Like, the racing game is fun. You breed egg monsters for races and they have stats and obstacles they are better and worse at, so you have to choose the right monster, which has a maximum amount of races. That is where breeding comes into play. If you do it for fun, it is actually pretty decent, but if you aim to finish it, it takes time. I think I had a bit over 300 races in the end becasue the last few races need to have monsters bred in a specific way. or the card game. Kinda simple, but very fun! but winning against every single character in your party is too much. By the way, if you liked the game itself, the story and characters, I highly recommend takinmg a look at Suikoden 2. It is my favorite game ever. Nowadays it is not that expensive anymore thanks to a rerelease and in about half a year it will finally get a remaster, which might be worth waiting for, especially since it will be 1 and 2 in a package.

People got to stop calling black myth a boss rush, it's not. You're not required to fight half the bosses and can go exploring. Also, by definition, a boss rush would be a boss fight right after another. Only chapter one feels that way since it has the smallest map and even then it's your choice to fight every boss.

[@chrispoici666]

A shame they didnt include Crimson Desert, a lot of people thought it was too good to be true, but the devs proved everyone wrong at gamescom

I'm always SO happy when I see Amalur mentioned in a positive way. I found it randomly by looking for "Games like Fable and Skyrim" and that's literally feels. Fable and Skyrim had a baby and it has everything I love and makes up for it's flaws. This was BEFORE the remaster so was extremely happy when that happened and had followed it closely. Now I can only dream of a sequel and that it's just as good or even better.

Hey

[@OriiPingu]

I'm genuinely surprised Left 4 Dead 2 didn't appear on here. The game got a trailer just 8 months after the first game released with the full game releasing just 4 more months after that, releasing exactly a year after Left 4 Dead 1. Everyone though it was a cash grab, but even though the game was developed within a literal year it turned out even better than the previous title and improved it in many ways.

[@TheBadDesperado]

Oh this was a fresh recommendation :D

1 thing I'll say: I don't care anymore if a team is made out of "industry veterans", whether they've worked together before. I don't care what games they've worked on. It's meaningless. They could be talented as fuck, but without someone with an actual vision and someone managing the team, let alone the company ... that just means nothing.

[@loldoctor]

@@antoniojosetorrente559To be fair, they were forced to rush development due to publisher pressure. I think there was a great game there that simply didn’t have the time or money to properly iterate the design into something less awkward and unfun.

almost nothing about BM Wukong pre release talk can be applied to Stellar Blade

To be fair while the Final Fantasy VII game is real, IT IS NOT a remake of the game but like an alternative timeline thing. It is like if you are playing Chrono Trigger and a third of the game in it turns into Chrono Cross.

[@Zanivox72]

The issue with Palworld, at least for me, wasn't whether it stole assets or not. It looked and felt exactly like Mihoyo(Genshin Dev) games, with visual styles and game mechanics plagiarized from the most popular games of the time or from the genre, and then acting like it was completely unintentional to avoid getting sued. Or in book terms, making book about a fantasy world, but it was just The Hobbit almost word for word with names changed. I enjoy games inspired by other games, but I don't enjoy games that try to steal or coast of others hard work.
