Games that are unjustifiable hated by most but are actually good ?

Yeah, the issue is how long it takes to get good and strategic. It's like 2 hours before you can level up. Like 10 before you have 3 party members. Nearly 20 before you have access to every paradigm possibility. The game just takes far too long to introduce all the mechanics. 20 hours of tutorializing is excessive.

Those are valid points.

Doom 3 disliked? Really?

Yeah, unless you lived under a rock it was impossible to not hear (even to this day) how DooM 3 is awful, is a DooM game in name only, it is the black sheep, etc. Some will claim that the only "passable" version is the BFG edition.

Doom 3 was sooo good, still is. Not the BFG Edition, fuck that version.

I agree with this, it lost many of the stuff that makes DooM 3 special.

Then it's only liked in my country lol. I had no internet when Doom 3 was popular and honestly didn't specifically dug ancient text from internet to learn what people think sorry mate lolol.

Honestly I was surprised but it would make sense because it's not like old Dooms and people would dislike the game for it, which my country had no such sentimental nostalgic BS so they just liked the graphics and how it's like a movie-like game.

It was pretty divisive game, but I wouldn't say it was universally hated or anything. A lot of people really enjoyed it still. Though it did get a bit overshadowed by Half-Life 2. The most frequent complaint was just that the whole thing was too damn dark and that you couldn't use the flashlight and gun at the same time, leading to the famous "Duct Tape mod" and the shoulder mounted light in BFG.

For the record I think the game is much better without the shoulder light. The Imps' fireballs and Plasma Gun's blasts lighting up the arenas looks fantastic, especially on an old CRT.

Side note, the game being so dark actually saved the Xbox port. The game is so demanding it was actually difficult to load textures in fast enough when the player is running quickly, so the Xbox version will actually load in a stock pure black texture as a fallback until it can load in the correct texture on an object, and this only works because the game is so damn dark lmao.
