What is an Unpopular Game You Will Defend Till the Day You Die

I think Ehrgeiz has way more going on for it than people are willing to give it credit for, that's a cool game and I still love going back to it now and then

Finally, some love for Ehrgeiz!
Game had so much going on for a 3D, 1 on 1 fighting game. Final Fantasy VII characters saved this game from being unknown.

For better or worse, if 13 came out today everyone would love it

Well my problem with FF13 wasn't the gameplay, though yes it was a big long hallway for 95% of the game, my problem with it was the story was just garbage, especially it's over-reliance on the primer, which is also a problem both xenosaga and final fantasy 8 had, people in general want to get the story in-game, not from reading a encyclopedia.

That said unlike xenosaga and ff8, i personally think 13 has a legitimately bad story, i can't comment on 13-2 and lightning returns (other than my vehement dislike for lightning) as i never played through 13-2 and LR, but 13's story imo, was just terrible, period especially considering 12 and earlier games had far better stories.

Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday. People hate it because it was such a huge diversion from the original in terms of game play and story, but I'm a fan of third person shooters and I had so much fun with it.

Back then people slept on it because arena fighters weren't really big on them plus they treated it like lesser Tekken copy (which to be fair, it was to some extent despite played differently).
But yes, it's actually pretty good game mechanicswise and all the other side minigames are decently enjoyable as well, especially the dungeon crawling RPG one ala Tobal No. 2.

If it's actually a standalone game, it wouldn't be as unpopular and hated by most PE lovers really, because gameplaywise it's really innovative and groundbreaking even if it's kinda hard as sin for the unfamiliar (basically Dark Souls before it was cool).
But because SQ-E got into the fiasco with the actual PE novel author over the franchise, they tried to change the whole story and remove most of the references related to the novels resulting in the absolutely nonsensical story that glossed over the previous two games' themes.

I didn't know about that. It makes sense though, why can't people just chill and make a game ya know? They had such a great formula for a interesting story that riveted audiences. And I bet it was 100% Squares fault, lame

i think this is one of several things triple A devs need to hear right now
