games that every one hate's but you don't hate.

[UnDubious]

Legend of Kage is a little too formless/primitive for me in terms of the level structure, but it's definitely not awful or anywhere close to "worst game" territory. It probably led to better (to me) ninja games being made a few years later once the rules of the genre became more defined.

watch dogs

I loved all 3 of them, even Legions, I had absolutely great fun with it, don't understand the haters.

Resident Evil 6. Everyone pummels it for being too action-y and abandoning the series survival horror theme. But to me Resi was always more action than horror - action-horror you might call - since literally every single game in the series escalated the action set pieces and over-the-top-ness. So to me Resi 6 was just the natural evolution/culmination of everything the series had built since 1996.

...apparently many disagree with me which why Resi 7 abandoned ALL of that to give us a pure horror game where we are in the shoes of an everyday man and not a trained soldier.

And don't get me wrong, 7 (and 8 by extension) are great games, but in MY world they aren't Resident Evil. I would have accepted them as spin-offs though.

Ive seen people crapping all over Tarzan on the ps1, but it's a nice game! Looks good, sounds nice, it's not Klonoa but it's a good enough simple platformer to breeze through

Chaos Legion on ps2 is also good I dont know whats up with youtubers trashing it; the only problem is that capcom USA screwed up the difficulty so jap hard is normal, making the game super grindy for no good reason
As long as you pick easy first it's a nice mosuo-style game with a very unique puppet mechanic and nice music and atmosphere

The same goes for Nanobreaker, yeah it's no devil may cry but it's still good in its own right and it's very technically advanced

Fire Emblem Fates does have a crummy story and terrible translation but once you install fan english patches + undub it's got pretty fun mechanics, its got a ton of variety and it's fun to mod and mess around with cheats, lots of unique maps, very well animated, good music, good dlc maps..
You can do a lot worst

Sonic CD is amazing if you dont play it like sonic 2 and play it like a 2d exploration game

Wow, another human being who knows about Chaos Legion!
I really loved that game too as a kid. The low rendering distance, esthetics, architecture and soundtrack gave it such a surreal vibe that nothing else managed to surpass it in my eyes.

Even now, when I hear the main menu theme, it fills me with a surreal feeling.

Deadly Towers. There's a good game hiding in there. It's just not executed well enough to be a truly fun experience. Get rid of the ridiculous enemy spawnage, the cheapo ledges of death, the awful "one at a time" sword throwing and add an in-game map and you have a pretty unique and varied experience. It's one of the games I wish would get remade even though I know it will never happen.

The big thread a lot of us are on right now is reminding me of this thread, so I’m about to bring in some positivity up in here:

This bum game. Right here. I know a lot of you probably know it too.

Look. It’s as deep as a puddle gameplay wise. It’s not like I’m grinding this out. I’m not playing tons of it. It’s clearly mechanically barren.

But it’s fun. And it’s cute. It’s basically a game that takes a bunch of anime tropes and makes them all fight each other. Every character has their own aesthetically matching commercial breaks in between matches. The game looks great, and a solid OST, and is just a general vibe.

It’s not great. For a full price game? Get the heck out of here. But I’m happy I own it. Just to pop it in every once in a while to just feel something. Play something different. Something that looks and sounds pretty. Something that, while simple, has moves that are satisfying to do thanks to hit effects and all that.

It's really not a good game, but a friend rented it for us all to play one afternoon. I remember it fondly, because his older sister was throwing a *fucking rager* downstairs at the same time, and banned us from coming down and being involved.

Then someone called the cops, and every idiot that didn't jump in the back of a pickup - or hop a fence and disappear like a suburban sasquatch - came and hid upstairs with us till the patrolmen left. Turned into a real wild session of Evil Zone, with a bunch of drunken teens cheering for each match like it was the Super Bowl.

Another one that gets a bad rep on the internet:
View attachment 454

It's good! It's tecnically impressive without to my knowledge using any extra chips on the cartridge, it controls well and you can even buffer jump and bounce around! Its got momentum and full 360 movement and good music, fun with the gamecube controller, I boot the rom once in a while

Just finished another playthrough of this. I agree it gets a bad rep because its not your "mainline" sonic games but this stands out as a GOOD unique game. It's not without its flaws but nothings perfect. The saturn version looks even cleaner and it has Full music tracks and a completely different 3D special stage from the Genesis version. And the Director's Cut fixed some of the bigger issues and added a bunch of features. Don't sleep if you haven't played it yall.

Any Castlevania Circle of The Moon defenders here?

Because i am one

I used to think it was terrible for years but changed my mind recently and gave it another go. Although I don't think it's terrible anymore it didn't really interest me enough to finish it.... I found harmony and aria to be a lot more fluid and the castles were fun to interesting explore

Any Castlevania Circle of The Moon defenders here?

Circle of the moon was the first game in the series that i read about in nintendo power. it is also the first one that i got, played and beat.
it's a 10/10 game as far as i am concerned.

Metroid 1

Original Metroid doesn't get the love it deserves, but I hardly see anybody saying they hate it.

Metroid II on the Gameboy, on the other hand..

I like that one too, granted i prefer the color version just because i can tell where i'm going.

I played the heck out of this. It's fun seeing everyone's storyline like it's marathoning a bunch of 90s anime. It seriously floors me how this game never had spin offs about any of them!

Metroid 1

I mean, is good for what it tried to do, but it feels archaic, the Zero Mission Remake may fortunately made it easier to navigate while still keeping the challenge of the OG one

Zero mission was phenomenal... I didn't like it at first but couldn't put it down after a few hrs.

it's like other Metroidvanias where the more powerups you get, the further you go. It's addicting because of that feedback loop. Then there's the whole speedrun scene.

Castlevania 64:
It has it's flaws and is unpolished in many ways but for what it is it's amazing.
I believe that the AVGN review is mostly the reason for all the hate passed off as fact.
"What music, there is no music!" The music is atmospheric and the battle themes are quite good. Also the opening piece is one of my favorites of the series and I love to see the violin covers. The platforming in the first level was not a problem for me though I believe the reason for this discrepancy is the differences in N64 analog stick quality, ( as in how worn down the bowl is or how loose it makes the analog stick.) as my N64 controller was one with a tight stick that I got from Japan. The respawning enemies is one point of contention that I will admit can get annoying though it had been a staple in many of the other games in the series up to this point. The part in the castle center with the mandragora was easily done by me on my very first playthrough. The part where you have to carry the explosive nitro is annoying and quite hard and yet it wasn't out of character for a Castlevania game as they're supposed to be difficult. The statue puzzle was the singular hardest element in the entire game for me anyway. The thing that I find the most irksome about the AVGN review is how he mentions "Now I'm playing as like a school girl. It doesn't look anything like Castlevania anymore." I find this to be quite distasteful and derisive as Carrie Fernandez is my favorite character in the game. It's as if Maria Renard had never been in a Castlevania game before this not to mention Sypha. The real flaw and truly the biggest issue with this game is the beginner mode which is more of an extended demo that stops you from completing the game. They might not have bothered and left it out altogether. After having beat this game multiple times to unlock the various endings and get the alternate costumes I must say that I love this game. It remains one of my favorites in the series.

Castlevania Dracula X ( Snes )

Many people said that Rondo is much better than the Snes game and said its bad overall . I dont think so and i think it is really good . The Soundtrack is still peak , the challenge is superb and it has a really serious tone behind it with its different artstyle compared to Rondo of Blood .
Maria in Rondo just took out the serious attitude of castlevania away and the soundtrack is way to clean , sleak and rather lackluster to my taste.

Castlevania 64 / Legacy of darkness
( N64 )

I told it often and i go very short with it . Belongs to the best Castlevania games and was the true future of the franchise . AVGN ruined its reputation sadly .

Deus Ex : Invisible war ( PC/ Original Xbox )

I like the first game very much . But i like the second game too .Yeah , it was a bit too streamlined but its still a great game on its own and alot of topics that the game tackles are now reality too . And Alex has the perfect " im just done with everything "-attitude that gave him some really savage-quotes that i never expect to go that hard which even brought me to a sadistic laughter how relentlessly he brings them back to their position . I need to play it again . Its that good actually .

Metal Gear AC!D 1 & 2 ( PSP )

I played all the Metal Gears and i only like MGS1 , Ghost babel and Peace Walker . And especially the AC!D games ! That MGS fans dont like Spin-offs is clear as day (Revengeance for example) but while Revengeance was still an awesome game , i got a soft-spot for the AC!D games because of their stories and the gameplay overall .
I dont get the hate of those games . Especially the first AC!D game had a really great story .

Silent Hill 4 ( PC/PS2/Xbox )

Its great that this game finally gets some positive recognition but it still gets some hate from tge SH-fans. I can understand that SH4 isnt a typical SH game but its different approach makes it really fresh and i like how it makes you feel safe at your home but suddenly changed the rules and nothing is safe anymore. Great game from team silent and sadly their last one .

Silent Hill Origins ( PSP/PS2 )

For a Non-team-silent entry it was great . Yeah the game tinkered unnecessarly on the lore of SH 1 , screwed up the story with inconsistencies and misunderstood the characters of SH1 very much . But as an own take and Spin-off , its a really great horror game . And Travis Grady is one badass Trucker who even go with fists against thos SH-monsters one on one and even wins . Who would have thought that Beef Jerky , Burger and Monster Energy would make you into the next deadly Mike Tyson of the World Championship Gas-station-brawling ? Okay , only sprinting five meters to refuel with Energy-drinks can be good for anyone but being the keeper of the SH-monster-boxing-belt , you got to make sacrifices . And still is Travis an undefeated champion of true monster bashing . PEAK SH-character ( sadly not canon ) .
