What are some games that came straight outta nowhere and had absolutely no business being as good as they are?
Demon's souls
I'd say Mount & Blade is one of the biggest ones.

Sure it had a prequel but no one knew it existed.

How? No one knew it was going to be anything special. Hell, it was even hard for the game to find a publisher before Atlus grabbed it.
This is kinda cheating because there are so many IPs coming out around this time for various systems.

It flew under the radar for a lot of people till around the time MGS V was coming and people were replaying every MGS game

Not really, there were more than daily hype threads leading up to its release and because it was another hack n slash game close to the shitheap DmC, all the anti-DmC people rallied around it.
it looks so bland and boring, but its literraly, dark souls for the ps2

MGR was in development hell for a while and it was definitely not out of nowhere when it resurfaced under new direction.

True, but the game exploded due to it being a Japan exclusive and there being a huge percentage of imports. That's what helped push it to the west. It didn't need a publisher for the east since it was a Japan Studio thing.
But yeah, I agree, it came outta left field and no one expected the success and the franchise turning into one of the most influential series of last gen.
