When was the last time that a brand new videogame truly amazed you with something you hadn't seen before?

To me it happened recently with resident evil 6, at first I firmly scorned the game, but then I realized how fun the melee system is and how cool the diving mechanics are, it's like the videogame version of the CGI films produced by capcom, it's really cool.

Last month, playing Talos Principle.
Just about all about the game was amazing; from the plot and some game mechanisms, to the visuals and gigantic options menus.
>>
Factorio's capability to please my hidden autism. I didn't even know I enjoyed optimizing things and make them scalable so much.

While not a specific videogame, the whole virtual reality thing (specifically the vive) was a serious trip the first time I used it.

going by specific videogames, Elite dangerous made me terrified of space. Warping right up to a star is. . .something else.

I should probably try elite dangerous with my vive so I can shit bricks at a star.

Shadow of Mordor
The Nemesis system was the greatest innovation a AAA games has made in the last decade.

Shadow of Mordor with the nemesis system. Too bad the game was meh.

This game, a few months ago.
Also got the Steam Controller about the same time and played it with that, so that amazed me too.

Shattered Horizon, 6 years ago.
Floating in space for the first night playing it. It was like being above my chair the whole time and even after I stopped the game.

Absolutely nothing has come close to that feeling since then.

MGSV

As in: "Holy shit wow I'd never thought I'd see the day where I experience more disappointment than the dissapointment I felt playing MGS4 for the first time."

Leon campaign is surprisingly ok
>>
>>344893170
Only the first 30 min of Leon's campaign, because it was a deliberate homage to the old RE games.

Dark Souls 3 against the Nameless King.

The only part in RE6 where the game is actually fun is Mercenaries since you can just fuck around with the decent mechanics instead of slogging through the horrendous setpieces.

I love Metroidvanias.
I love bunny girls.
This concept of this game was a dream come true. Oh it also has rockin' gameplay? Perfect.

Witcher 3. After playing gta 4 and skyrim and being not dissapointed, just disatisfied with how truly amazing open world games have the potential to be, and then in reality they're so shallow and usually several things in terms of quality have to decrease to allow a large world. Witcher 3 solely redeemed the genre for me.

Never

Video games are shit and there is nothing fun to play besides Overwatch tbqh

Final Fantasy XII
It's like Xenoblade before Xenoblade even existed. British voices, huge overworld, god tier soundtrack, tons of content to go through. I love it.

And then they made a shitzillion dollars with a crappy mobile game, and will never touch another interesting idea ever again.

>>344898924
And then FF13 happened and Funimation-tier voice actors were employed exclusively.

What a fucking shitshow that game was, voice acting and all.

Yeah because resident evil 1 was totally japanese and not inspired by hollywood at all!

>>344899385
There are degrees of inspiration.

The old Resi games didn't have Japanese VAs because the devs wanted it to be authentically American. The newer games had Japanese actors and retarded locales because authenticity of setting was no longer a concern.

Kill yourself crapcom shill.

Crysis still amazes me with it's environmental interaction. None of it feels like the generic "put the explosive on the white X" and with a few mods it looks better than most 2016 games.
