A game that the public latches onto and quotes repeatedly after release. In other words, literally any game.

A game that's really only popular for being popular, like Undertale. It does nothing new, and is a 7/10 at best, but all the memeing fans talk about it all the time like it's GOTY material.

Popular games I don't like.
>>
>>319914047
It only really refers to contemporary, popular games where the apparent reason behind the popularity is easily mocked/parodied. The connotation implied by calling it a meme game is the game doesn't have brilliant mechanics or doesn't excel compared to its genre cousins, and ergo the fans only love it for some stupid or superficial reasons. Unironically calling something a 'meme game' says just as much about yourself as it does the fans, but it doesn't mean the game isn't overrated either.

You just described every popular game. MGSV, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, etc.

>>319914047
In a literal sense, a "meme game" is a game that is popular to the point of being known as a matter of cultural transmission rather than some sort of organic process of an individual researching and playing games that accord their own personal interests.
In context, "meme game" implies that someone's predilection for a specific game is the result of their friends, popular and influential people, the internet in general liking it, rather than some real merit the game has.

The vase wraps around her back?

A game that is only popular because of twitch or youtube.

this to be honest.
>>
>>319914047

A game where people feel an obligation to play and like it because they want to feel like they're apart of something rather than the game just being genuinely interesting let along GOOD.

I feel like they're a major issue next to gloom porn - people deliberately trying to make themselves feel terrible at the expense at whoever is experiencing something terrible.

>>319914047
In competitive games: Any game that's extremely popular with the twitch/youtube generation that is played soley because e-celebs play it despite not being fit as competitive games due to low skill ceilings.

Examples of competitive meme games: CSGO, Hearthstone, League of Legends, DotA 2

In other games: Entry level games that are popular soley based on brand, heavy advertising both on social and other media.

Examples of meme games: DayZ, Fallout 4, Halo 5, Grand Theft Auto V, H1Z1, Minecraft

"Meme game" always has a negative connotation to it, though. What about instances where a game is good under the hood but becomes popular with the public for its superficial qualities?
