Have you ever looked at a game and thought "this is so stupid, i love it"

[DianeInsetinha]

Felt that when first playing disgaea and dmc3, and now I'm gonna play viewtiful Joe because it makes me feel like it again

 

[Raidou Kuzunoha]

When I really think about it, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is dumb as hell plot-wise. Even the title is stupid (Revengeance? Revenge + Vengeance, what's the point of combining two synonymous words like this). And I loved every second of it.

Deadly Premonition was that for me

Devil's Third was another

 

[Glimbo]

Basically the entirety of God Hand.

 

[DunkeyKong]

For a lot of games lmao, one of them would probably be Metal Gear Solid 3 especially for some of the cutscenes

 

[Tbest25]

That's Kingdom Hearts for me lol.

 

[DianeInsetinha]

That's Kingdom Hearts for me lol.

I played kingdom hearts when i was like, 9 years old and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Years later, after becoming the biggest KH addict I could, I see how stupid it was and how cool the stupidity was.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Yes, plenty.

Last time that happened was with Red Dead Redemption, a game that looked cheesy and stupid... Turns out I adored it.

Every 6th gen and 7th gen Japanese Action game is like that for me. And i fucking love it.

 

[No-Bo-Dy]

Locoroco probably.

"Z.H.P. - Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman" for me just the random name options for protagonist had me in a laughing fit.

 

[Megazao]

Disgaea, Yakuza, Dynasty Warrors and Metal Gear as series make me feel constantly like that.

It's basically "What if America elected Dante as President?" and it's awesome!

Revengeance? Revenge + Vengeance, what's the point of combining two synonymous words like this

Revengeance is not a portmanteau, it's an actual old word.

My choice actually doesn't look that stupid. It actually looks mediocre but I love everything about it, especially the lore about the main character.

How does a Power Washing game have any lore?

It's basically "What if America elected Dante as President?" and it's awesome!

Reminds me of this video lmao
"And the reason is…because I'm the president of the Great United States of America!"

There are time travelling scientists, ancient civilizations, cat-murdering cults, corrupted politicians. Your customers and cleaning jobs start very normal but they get very interesting as the game goes on. You even find Atlantis at one point.

Tiny Tank

Who knew a game where you play as a foul mouthed, ill tempered, pessimistic, little yellow tank that has to save humankind from an army of rogue robots would be so much fun?

 

[LiberoVulpes]

Karaoke in the Yakuza series is always fun.

C&C has some fantastic FMVs

 

[Dyne]

As an American, a lot of Japanese stuff falls into that category of "this is so stupid and I love it" for me

 

[BlissfulBandit]

The first thing you see when you start Metal Max is a scene of your dad disowning you and kicking you out, so you go outside to the big wide world and fight fuel canisters with legs. I knew right then and there I was playing a gem.

I quote this every time any media decides to go to space. It lives rent free in my head.

The RPG modes in World Court Tennis and Final Lap Twin for the turbo grafx, where it's basically an RPG but the fights are either tennis or car races. Though, Racing Lagoon on the PS1 is kind the same thing but 10000% better so maybe I just love how early and clunky the TG16 ones are.
