Games that everyone hate but you love. Or vice versa

[doll_in_spell]

Most of my favorite games from my childhood are also some of the very same titles that a certain... emotional video game nerd has also convinced people are garbage

I've replied about this on another topic, but the easy choice for me is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on the NES. Mostly because I was a huge Indy fan as a kid, and it was by far the best Indy home game I had played to that point. That, and my Mum bought it for me randomly, unannounced - just came home from a shopping trip with it, and said, "Here ya go." Dawwwww.

Runner-up is P.N.03 on the Gamecube. Game got totally dunked on when it released, and my friends thought I was just plain th00pid for buying it... but I loved that damn game. Still do

oh my goodness i've never seen P.N.03 but it looks like exactly the kind of bad 3d retro game i would love im totally gonna try it eventally

 

[NovumVeritas]

P.N 03 is pretty cool, the levels are a little bit samey, but it's fun.

 

[Muftie2809]

This is funny one to me, but in my case, it's Geometry Dash.
I asked few of my friend for it, and of them says it's just a boring jumping square game, which potentially rage inducing (I don't know if inducing actually a word).

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Said it multiple times already, but both Castlevania games for the 64 are pretty darn good.
I also like MegaMan X6 a lot, and honestly, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was really fun.

The Castlevania 64 games, like FFXIII and Sonic Unleashed had one hell of a switch up where a lot of people now agree that they're good.
And also I cannot understate how overblown the Mystic Quest hate is, like the game was literally meant for babies new to the genre, what did people expect, Dark Souls the Final Fantasy game? Makes me wonder if they'd have this same energy for a lot of educational games.

Ace Attorney Justice for all which i don't understand the hate for

I kinda understand it, a lot of the cases feel like filler and Turnabout Big Top was probably the one time localisation changes could've been for the better. I didn't think it was that bad when I stop thinking about how it's essentially the filler arc between two story heavy games.

my personal favorite hated game is

Sonic 3D Blast. I feel like Sonic spinoffs get a lot of flack for not being the same as a mainline game. Some cases are understandable like the Storybook games having terrible control, Sonic Labyrinth being a slog to play, Sonic Drift suffering from being Game Gear exclusive, Lost World having a nothing villain team and sluggish gameplay in between levels, etc. Then I look at how Sonic the Fighters was called a terrible game for literally no reason for decades. Unlike that game though, 3D Blast never really got that redemption. It was going for something unique and not trying to get in the way of any other Sonic releases and people just hate its entire existence solely because it's a collectathon...either that or because Sega fell back on it once Sonic Xtreme had to be canned. It's not that bad a game imo, played it 3 times.

My Picks are Dawn of Mana, Dynasty Warriors 6 and FF13

Yoshi's Island DS gets a lot of flack and I'll admit that it's not anywhere near as good as the original SNES game, but I honestly enjoy it. Also appreciated how each baby had their own unique abilities to help Yoshi progress (Baby Mario gives Yoshi a "Run" button and allows him to hit "M" blocks, Baby Peach's parasol lets Yoshi gain higher altitude via flower updrafts, Baby DK can climb vines, etc..It's not much, but at least there was some attempt at variety.

 

[ItsUde37]

I don't know if I precisely love it but I'll never think Sonic 3D Blast it's a bad game. Always had a lot of enjoyment everytime I replay it.

I don't care that its bad. That it gets dunked on. Resident Evil 5 was my first RE and I still love it to this day. I was on a grind to get as much achievements on Steam, and I don't think I'll ever stop working at it. If Capcom remaster/remake 5, I'll play it. If they don't I'll still enjoy it. I'll still main Sheva and have a good time.

People sometimes think that 5 was the start of RE's dark age, but in reality, 5 was the end of Capcom's 2000s golden age, and not only is it genuinely good despite flaws like a reliance on cover-based combat in the third act, it's still a highlight of the mainline series for its unique African setting and fun gameplay that's even better in co-op, and is much, much, MUCH better than its direct successor (Resident Evil 6). Despite being more actionised than the already combat-focused 4 and ditching suspense and scares for annoying, ineffective mid-2000s shock horror, it's still recognisable as a part of the series and delivers a solid wrap-up to the Umbrella and Chris/Wesker plotlines as well.

Basically, Resident Evils 1 - 4 are, to me, the Japanese originals (utter classics), Resident Evil 5 is the American remake (not as special, but still strong), and Resident Evil 6 is the godawful Netflix "anime" by Adi Shankar loosely based on the American remake. And you know what? Sometimes, I find myself in the mood for the American remake.

An infinite number. What can I say? It's a pretty popular topic.

Fallout 76
Fallout 4
Skyrim
both Castlevania on GB


Yes Fallout 4 and Skyrim is rather hated "Duh they are dumbed down blah blah" I play morrowind it´s a good game but it´s fucking old and it aged like shit whine that taste like horse piss. That game needs a remake with better UI and better inventory management and better combat.

I honestly like Fallout 4 more than any of the others Im no fan of Isometric games and 3 and NV are just to old and outdated they are great game but 4 does so much good just shame the story sucks.

And yes I like F76 because it´s basically more Fallout 4 but with other people but 90% of the time Im just alone and so no other.

 

[Lod 10]

Well, I only know it from videos, but I like Sonic. unleashed

Yeah I personally love Fallout 76, I enjoyed building my camp and doing raids etc.

 

[Lod 10]

Sim, eu pessoalmente adoro Fallout 76, gostei de construir meu acampamento e fazer incursões, etc.

Well, if I buy a PlayStation 3, I want to try out the Fallout series.

 

[JellyjamLu]

Fallout 76 always goes for dirt cheap and they do free Fallout 1st membership trials every now and then, plus we could play together, I can make you level up insanely fast if i take you to a raid boss.

 

[Lod 10]

Fallout 76 está sempre muito barato e eles fazem testes gratuitos da assinatura Fallout 1st de vez em quando, além disso, poderíamos jogar juntos, eu posso te ajudar a subir de nível muito rápido se te levar para uma incursão contra um chefe.

.Let's wait and see if it makes money in my account, because I rarely have money to buy the things I want, since I'm middle class.

Have a great day, my friend. I'm feeling much better.

 

[Aerolite]

Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels. I have no idea why everyone hates it aside of being the second game with the same assets from SMB1. It has a great challenge, and some of the levels were used for VS. Super Mario Bros.

world c-3

that's all I have to say.

Yoshi's Island DS gets a lot of flack and I'll admit that it's not anywhere near as good as the original SNES game, but I honestly enjoy it. Also appreciated how each baby had their own unique abilities to help Yoshi progress (Baby Mario gives Yoshi a "Run" button and allows him to hit "M" blocks, Baby Peach's parasol lets Yoshi gain higher altitude via flower updrafts, Baby DK can climb vines, etc..It's not much, but at least there was some attempt at variety.

The music is what ruins it for me. Everyone likes to trash on New Island's soundtrack, but it actually has hidden gems while DS has nothing

This is anything, BUT a boss music

 

[JoueurCitoyen]

So many ones: Castlevania 64, Resident Evil 5, Duke Nukem Forever…
But the most hated little guy I'll defend no matter what is:

Wait, since when was Yoshi's Island DS a bad game? I found it criminally underrated. It adds new elements and characters, but I have to admit, not only is Baby Mario's cry annoying, but Baby Peach's cry is more annoying.

Eh, I thought the soundtrack was alright. To each their own.

I first played Shadowman on the PlayStation, I had a great time and it is still one of my favourites. I only realised how bad the framerate was when I played it again on the N64 and the Dreamcast. However my best memories were playing it the first time on the Playstation.

Need to try this game out, I have always remembered the cover art, perhaps now it's time to be... a man.. in the shadows? hehe.
