Oh, and Mass Effect. Heck, why not just say 'Bioware in general'.

The difference, though, is that XIII is a technical disaster on top of a story disaster. It's one thing to say the fans were offbase about X and XII because those are perfectly fine games, but XIII is a perfectly fine piece of a game. Ish.

Like I said, I wasn't on the net prior to X or XIII, save the era of hype around XIII's announcement, so I feel I can say I went into both fresh, and the disappointment I felt with XIII is a lot more notable than my reaction to X.

Thank you sweet Ramza that I was not on GameFAQs when FFX came out, then.

Trust me when I say that the XIII backlash is not new. X was the WORST GAME EVER.

Hell, 7 was the WORST FF EVER when it came out. I was barely like 7 when it came out but I still remember reading the forums of the day (whatever they were) and people were smashing their FF7 discs in protest of the "terrible" ending.

The difference now is that internet and forums are far bigger now, so there's way more echo chambers.

Devil May Cry. I think a lot of us moved on to other things. The ones that didn't are either accepting of DmC or very bitter about it.
Ninja GAIDEN too, that was a shame.

Some of us are still around, but playing older games and the hd collection to get over the mess that was NG3 and the ok DMC experiment. Im not one of the haters of DMC, I think it is an ok game and would have fared better under a different name. With the changes to combat comparing it past Dmc games, it was bound to come up short for most fans. Ninja Theory didnt help their cause either with the intial pr nightmare dressing down fans. I have a little hope in NG3 razors edge. Bayonetta 2 is on the way as well, but I have to pass since I have zero interest in buying a WiiU save one or two games.

Back in the good old days, Halo was cool. People played it and shit. Everyone had heard of it in one way or another and it wasn't some sort of taboo identifier; but then, following Halo 3, its fanbase began to die down. New games like CoD, Minecraft, indie games, etc. began diversifying the same demographic further. That itself isn't the issue. The thing is, what the fuck happened to the Halo community?

I'm not complaining about fat basement nerds walking around in Master Chief t-shirts; every community's got them. But every Halo player I've seen in person nowadays is just plain weird. Ironically it's been more conservative, right-wing types that have stuck to Halo in my experience while the 12-21 males usually stick to Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. in the FPS department.

Have any other fanbases gone from anyone and everyone regardless of demographics to a few select oddballs in recent history?

What the fuck is this?

Valve fans. From a decent group of people attracted to good single player games, to some sort of strange cult.

Valve has always been a cult
