Over-hated Games

There's no such thing as a bad Kirby game. There's only bad, wicked people who want to hate kirby, because they worship evil and despise all that is good.

I've been saying this for over a decade, I've never played a bad Kirby game, disappointing? Maybe (Star Allies was kinda disappointing imo) but not a single bad game imo, not even the spin offs, talk about a good track record.

Honestly I haven't played a bad one. I even like that Puyo clone on SNES

Castlevania Circle of the Moon

I admit the game has many flaws, such as ortopedic character that needs a relic to FRIGGIN RUN, DDS system being obtuse and the cards being a bitch to find even with a guide and difficulty being too high

Despite that the game is still pretty good, getting more of a pass due to being experimental and being the next big Castlevania after SOTN, even when not patched to fix it the game is far more approachable than people think,is just rough around the edges

Any other Devil May Cry 2 apologists out there? The tone was different to 1, but It's no worse playing in my opinion. I also really appreeciated there being a female main character to play (requiring a playthrough to unlock the next difficulty level, even!) Except for 3 and four, I think Devil may cry got better each entry, dMc -Devil May Cry- included. That was a fabulous game to play.

I play these two without shame, I love playing these two so much for some reason.

Doom 3 is probably a over hated game the newer version is pretty good but it did stray away from the typical Doom formula and this is why it probably got a lot of hate I think.

The same with the Devil May cry game a new character was all it needed to be hated by many the actual game or gameplay was not important for most at that point but many years later people came to appreciate it a litte bit more.

I liked Doom 3, but was annoyed by the constant switching back and forth between your gun and flashlight. When I installed the duct tape mod, the game was a lot more fun.

Yeah, Dark souls 2, it is my personal favorite in the series because it actually feels new,this game

like the animations are new, sound effects and all, also it feels like an adventure unlike dark souls 1 , i like ds1 but, I just like this game alot more, the music in this game is the best, yeah ds 3 has the crown for the best dark souls music but ds 2's music is so underrated some hates are justified while most just hate for the sake of hating, like people don't like ADP, I actually like it after leveling it up you actually can your character become faster and stuff, the hit box is not that bad, you just need have good timing, i played ds 2 a lot i never saw a bad hitbox like those on the internet though they are fun to watch, I like the world, the music, yeah sometimes it feels unfair , even it has small details like your character becomes tired after using stamina which I like alot, going in combat stance when locking in enemies, overall I just love this game alot, I like all souls game but this one is my favorite, is it the best in the series? No that would be 3, but it is my favorite, this game made me not listen to people on the internet or look at reviews and actually try the game myself. And yeah, I hope I didn't hurt anyone, I just stated my opinion.
Good day/night to everyone.

I just want to say if not for Castlevania II we would never have had Symphony of the Night

Zelda II the Adventure of Link, Phantasy Star III and Mass Effect Andromeda are all overhated in my opinion. In Zelda II the difficulty is bullshit but if it wasn't for that it would be solid, I have no idea why people hated Phantasy Star III I actually thought it was pretty cool how it goes multiple generations, and Mass Effect Andromeda is no where close to being as good as the original trilogy but I didn't think it was bad like the majority of the population does.

I can never call DS2 actually bad, but it does has plenty of questionable decisions: early shields all cannot block fully physical damage, ds1 taught you that the best way to take care of enemies is to go one by one because they can very easily gank you, yet DS2 seems to really want to force you into encounters against multiple opponents constantly, and trying to fix and balance matchmaking is a good idea, but soul memory only makes things WORSE, and I don't know how the devs didn't realize that they are making it so higher skill players are also getting a level advantage during matchmaking, and it could have been fixed so easily! All they had to do is make soul memory count "used" (for level up or for buying) souls instead of collected souls.

Yet despite all that is NOT a bad game. It has nice variety, it feels different from DS1, a new world to explore, to experiment with. And it's still core Dark Souls gameplay. It's a gameplay that is relatively simple, yet all the imitator failures that felt incredibly stiff show how it's not that easy to do properly.
