Meme Monday: Games with a Reputation Memes

It should come as no surprise that I've come across a bunch of memes over the years where games have earned a certain reputation, good or bad. There's the low hanging fruit, such as GTA 6 vaporware, and the complete disaster of certain releases (I'm looking at you, No Man's Sky). So, for this Meme Monday, I thought I'd dip into my bag of games that have acquired a certain reputation.

Admittedly, Cyberpunk 2077 eventually got much
more stable and, well, complete with the extra content,
but it took a while. I don't think Fallout 76 can compete.

D&D 4th Edition was extremely divisive to
the player base, the fallout of which directly
led to Paizo's Pathfinder RPG and gave a boost
to the Old School RPG movement. My opinion
was always that D&D 4e would have been better
off as an RPG without being tied to the D&D name,
so it's nice to see someone else with that opinion.

Ubisoft and bugs. 'Nuff said.

Yes, I know, nudity doesn't exist in WoW.
However, WoW does have that reputation
--courtesy of Goldshire-- that it's a naughty
naughty game. Just try not to think that the
female toon on the screen is probably
a guy IRL. I know I can't. From quickmeme.

How My Brain Works Without Coffee, Part 57

I was perusing my YouTube feed, and nestled in the Pete Rose stuff* and electronics videos** was this from Michael Bell and Bellular Gaming:

Sorry, just the screencap.

"Hm..." I thought. "Isn't Beledar the name of a character from a David Eddings series?"

Oh, wait. That's Beldar. Eh, close enough.

*Because I'm from Cincinnati, as was Pete, and because I'm from Cincy of course I must be interested in all things Pete since he played for the Reds in their heyday of The Big Red Machine. The reality is that there are days when if feels like I must be the only West Sider (Pete's home turf) who didn't like him very much. Yeah, he could hit, but he was a big asshole, his kid was a big asshole, and the Reds were likely held back during his tenure as manager in the 1980s. 

**Yes, another of my hobbies. This time the videos included methods on cleaning relays. My old Pioneer receiver (bought in 1987) needs some cleaning, and when you click on one of these videos you get inundated with others.
