An EA Sports basketball game on the Genesis. It was heavily advertised, got high reviews and niggers were going bixnood over it. When I actually played it, it was a piece of dried cat turd of a game. Controls sucked, game felt sluggish, the overhyped "play the officially endorsed NBA game and as your favorite athlete!" was bullshit since there was barely any difference in pixels or performance of the characters.
It was hype over substance, endorsement licensing over gameplay, I never liked EA but that was the moment I saw EA Sports as a serious tumor that can keep EA alive for a long time.

I didn't buy into the hype myself, since like another anon, it wasn't a genre I paid much attention so, so I was happily whaled for a while.
I think the game that really woke me up was Starcraft 2. It looked tons prettier than the original, but it was just such a let down with the characters and story. The gameplay was more fluid (eg Reapers running on cliffs) but ultimately shallow mechanically. I didn't buy it but used a cracked version of SP.
I became a LOT more critical of games and hype after that, but still fell for a few Kickstarter memes. I still buy the occasional bad game, actually. But I'm still more conservative about it now.
Most recently, I bought games like Hollow Knight or Cuphead and have enjoyed them thoroughly.

I pirated it when I was 10 after I saw the demo on a Best Buy computer and it was preinstalled on a laptop I got. I guess I missed the hype due to playing Battlefront II or something.
I fell for the hype on the expansion pack though. Honestly, that should have been part of the base game.
What really ruined my faith in games was stuff like all the Modern Warfare copycats and (((cinematic))) games that came out around 2010 or so. That, and the proto-amiibo garbage that was Webkinz existing.

Bioshock Infinite, I guess. I just remember that being the game that everybody blindly covered the ears and eyes and yelled "NO, IT'S REALLY FUCKING GOOD. BELIEVE ME, PLEASE.

Somehow Spore didn't do it for me. I miraculously moved on from that one, disappointed but not broken.
For me, I think it was a slow burn starting with Pokemon Black and White. I would never actually pursue Pokemon info, and I wouldn't even know a game was coming until there was a TV commercial for it. As such, I wasn't aware of or involved in any prerelease reveals or hype or anything. It was just a bad fucking game, but I couldn't understand or articulate why at the time.
The burn slowly built through TF2, starting around Halloween 2012, building in 2013, and reaching its peak in September 2014. At this point, I was mad about video games. MGSV:TPP was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm mostly just disappointed in myself for not seeing these things sooner, but my world of vidya was fairly sheltered, despite everything. In my naivety, I saw all the bad shit as isolated instances. I know better now.

For me, it was Contagion. Made by the same team that did Zombie Panic: Source, I thought it'd be good.

The first game was barely a tech demo, that's how barren of content it was. There was really nothing to do in the open world besides collecting flags, that rewarded you with nothing (apparently one of the developers put them in there and gave them no purpose as a "protest" against collectibles in games), there were only the same three types of side mission in each city to unlock the main mission and every main mission played out the same. Get to the location, find the linear platforming path to get to your target and then jump down to stab him. Combat was just as shallow, allegedly you have four weapons on you, but there is no point in using anything but the sword and just holding the block button and spamming counters. The writing was garbage as well.

It was nothing like in Half Life were the player was Gordon Freeman PhD trying to escape black mesa with the help of scientists, now I'm Gordon Freeman PhD and glorified spectator, and when the game turned away from following Alyx as if I were hung up on her ass and the game put me in a shooting section, it was as boring and uninspired as any shooter on the PS3 collection. Something like Opposing Force which was pretty much an expansion of HL1, it managed to do what HL2 should have done, improve and add to the arsenal with new and interesting weapons, instead HL2 re-treads the same ground, but wait, now we got RAGDOLL!

I bit of a strange choice, but let me explain.
This shit was something I had played as a child. And I played this A LOT. I remember enjoying it so much and thinking it was hot shit at the time. I don't recall how far I ever got, but I loved the shit out of this game for the cheese, the strange sense of humor it seemed to have for me, and other things. But several years later, I found my old copy and I tried it once more, figuring it was worth another look.
AND IT REALLY WASN'T FUCKING WORTH IT
I absolutely hated the game and every inch of its being. I hated the shit controls, I hated the shitty death traps the game likes to set without telling you. I hated that not pressing a very specific button that you aren't told about could get you fucking killed at some points. And I absolutely FUCKING HATED the puzzles and arcade sections. I couldn't find a single shred of what I liked and I looked everywhere. And I made sure it was the same game too.
This game proved to me that not even my nostalgic memories could be trusted and that a majority of shit I enjoyed as a younger kid are probably extremely shitty. It taught me that I couldn't even hide in nostalgia as shitty games have always been around me, even if I didn't realize it till recently.

There wasn't one game, really, but one generation. The seventh, specifically. I only had a Wii, and didn't play too much vidya, so Wii Party and Ninty's first party games were good enough to hold me over. But once the generation was over and I was older, I wanted to look back and revisit stuff I missed by not having a 360 or PS3. Only then did I realize that I didn't actually miss much of anything, really. I know that exclusives technically died with the PS2 but this is just when I realized it.

one game can do that to people? or do you just mean the straw that broke the camels back so to speak?
i still very much have faith in video games as a form of entertainment and artistic medium, but the unseatable greedy people who swing the most weight around certainly have a lot to answer for. I still hold out for the hope that noteworthy games will continue to spring up once in a while. it happens sometimes, less often than id like but sometimes.

I know, I know. "THAT'S THE OVERARCHING STORY OF ASS CREAM, MAN! IT'S NOT REALLY A PIRATE GAME!" Doesn't change the fact that AC's modern component is and always will be complete fucking garbage, and fuck anyone who likes it. Not only does it ravage your immersion like the Black Death, but it so blatantly struggles to justify its existence as a mandatory, crucial experience in the game.
I also realized a considerable chunk of AC fans play the games for these parts or at least enjoy them. Fuck them all. Fuckin excuse me for not wanting to be yanked out of what comprises 80% of the game and the meat of its gameplay to see what Desmond Dooby Doo and his fantastic team of autists are up to today on tonight's episode of The Office, or what Puppet Ubisoft MC with no Autonomy is going to get talked into doing without a single question asked next.
They should've just stuck with the Historical Sandbox premise, ditched the retarded Genetic Memory concept, and just shows the Asses and Templars fighting each other through the ages. The meta-narrative has zero fucking reason to exist beyond the fact the other games have it and they've already written themselves into their graves so now they have to write themselves out.
And fuck Ubisoft blatantly putting in Not-Ubisoft email chains as story-related notes. Fuck everything.

Black Flag was good because it was the least AC game. It was good ONLY when it wasn't trying to be AC game. I still don't understand why didn't they just make a whole new pirate simulator game. You know, just sailing blowing stuff up, recruiting crew in taverns, upgrading ship, weapons and skills. I don't NEED some stupid background story that doesn't even make sense when i have that. No, i don't want to follow that dude for 30 minutes while he moves with a speed of a snail. I want to loot and pillage and rape and murder.
The whole AC Genetic Memory concept is a fucking mess. Initially it served solely to justify existence of Desmond Miles, idiotically written character with who Ubisoft didn't really know what to do or what was his exact purpose, that\s why they killed him eventually, unintentionally making the storyline even more of a mess Just plain historical conflict between Templars and Asssassins would've made sense if Desmond and ancient aliens never existed in the first place.

anon, instead of just telling you to go back I am going to break it down to you. If you have to enlarge a comic & it takes more then 5 minutes to get the punchline of the joke then you are failing at the very basics of effective memetics. More over if the only funny part about the joke is from a 2017 cuckchan /rk9/ thread then it has no relevance here and only serves to virtue signal that you are a cross-poster from halfchan. This shit is pure milhouse. For god sake one of the reason Ben Garrison edits was funny was because (god bless him) he wasn't actually a talented satirist and his comics where wordsalad where he needlessly labels everything.

Sniper is pretty garbage class tbh. Mainly because his skill ceiling exceeds every other classes. There's no counter to a sniper who can instantly headshot you despite being a scout or some shit outside of another sniper. Thankfully the entire game is garbage now so it doesn't matter.

This piece of shit right here.
For eight long years I waited for Metroid to make its triumphant return, to see how they could possibly follow up a masterpiece like Super Metroid. And this is what I got:
Cramped space station missions instead of lush, expansive worlds. Dumb bosses. No exploration and extreme linearity due to story railroading and Nintendo not trusting players to be able to figure things out on their own. Extremely dumb additions to the character ("Half-human, Half-metroid hybrid" and some nobody involved in her past I’m supposed to give a shit about). Survival-horror segments utterly forced into an action game to really drive home the fact that you have absolutely no freedom. Poorly-written melodrama with intrusive unskippable dialogue to anger you should you ever even give a thought to wanting to replay the game. And finally, a complete removal of the exploration, the expansive environments, the fun puzzles; basically the exact things that defined Metroid for what it was. Oh, but even that wasn't enough; they had to dumb down the physics and control that were pulled off so stellarly in Super–this wouldn't really be a problem if Super Metroid hadn't come out first, but as a game that retains most of the core features and innovations of Super Metroid, they took a giant shit all over all the great freedom of movement and skill-based techniques it offered.
This is basically the one game that destroyed my naive belief in Nintendo as some infallible developer who could never, ever make a bad game. I was an obsessive Metroid fan before that, and you could say I even still am to an extent (I'll never stop replaying the good games), but the franchise is totally dead to me. The series' creator has demonstrated that he has no intention whatsoever make it again what it once was. It always strikes me funny when people talk about how they're still bitter over Other M. Well I haven't forgotten Fusion.

I'm gonna do my part and apologize for joining when it went F2P. I try to atone for my sins anon by learning how to make mods and maps.
Honestly though I think the Steam Workshop didn't help. I only caught the ass end of the creative stuff people did with the game but I remember playing almost exclusively community servers until 2013 or so when the ones I loved stopped being played.
Since then I haven't seen many maps people play because they're fun and silly, best you get are the minimum effort maps like highertower or that long 2fort map that aren't actually fun to play on.
Not to mention no more modding or sprays which is just sad.

I liked Fusion, despite not being as good as Super. SA-X made me shit my pants, Nightmare's presentation was amazing, the final fight against Omega Metroid was great, even the AI that later become Adam has it's own charm. Game gives you the feeling of opresivenes and of being the prey rather than the hunter, pretty convincigly too, and Samus' controls great.

It's hard for me to point out which game broke me, It feels like a slow progression thinking back to it. The slow march of DLC and micro-transactions in video games slowly destroyed me. The constant barrage of it all, Back when Halo 3 was at its peak I kept on seeing map packs. I bought the first one because at the time it made sense. new maps? cool I'll pay five bucks for that. Then I got ME1 and played the shit out of my deformed vanguard reject and then saw that they had DLC in that too, I was confused "Why would they put that in a singleplayer game? Why not do an expansion pack if they wanted to put in new content?" I got a half decent computer and started playing HL2 mods like ZPS and Zombie master, got gmod and wasted damn near 2000 hours on that. On and on I kept on seeing my freinds get preorder bonuses and DLC and then the slow march of lootboxes in TF2 "why would you pay to gamble on skins and items? just goto fpsbanana and skin your shit" I was confused as to why you wouldn't mod it instead of paying for it. Thanks manco… I keep on seeing the cancer grow and grow. publishers manipulating consumers to buy bullshit DLC and weapons. The overt pushing of narratives and politics where it makes no fucking sense. PAID FUCKING MODS
I just want it all to go back. I want to go back to the times when you could buy a game and know you got the whole game. When a dev would put out expansion packs that were worth your money.
I just want to go back to playing hero's of might and magic with my grandfather and grandmother. When we could genuinely meet and make friends in company in online video games.
Fuck this goddamn industry, burn it to the fucking ground. The only chemo for this cancer is not fucking buying anything. I havent bought DLC since that fucking H3 map pack and I refuse to buy games that encourage this behavior.
Give me another fucking 83 crash. please
