yes you are.

For me, I guess it would be the entire Drakengard trilogy, the gameplay and the original Nier. I think people consider those mediocre?

For me, it has to be The Legend of Spyro Trilogy and Shadow The Hedgehog.

Also Sonic 06 as a guilty pleasure.

Sword Coast Legends

so bad it shut down the development studio. Fans were expecting this to be the next neverwinter nights (which it was not) and instead of managing peoples expectations the devs opened pre-orders and did livestreams talking about how expansive and next gen it would be (which it was not)

Begged for this as my only birthday present & tried so hard to enjoy it for months. It's not even egregiously bad or buggy it's mostly just very boring. It's like the Nutraloaf of computer RPGs. no i will not elaborate.
It also didn't help that Divinity: Original Sin released the year prior and was MUCH better, most of the steam reviews included some variation of "save your money buy divinity instead", which people did.

quick rapid-fire of things I thought were funny about this game:
- the voice actors all sound like they dont know where they are
- one of the advertised companions is killed for plot reasons about 15 minutes into the story (but he was really annoying so I didnt even care)
- character creation has you choose an alignment and a deity to worship despite neither having any effect on the story or gameplay
- On release the steam description noted that multiplayer servers would remain "indefinitely", then right before they shut the servers down that would quietly get changed to an "indefinite, unspecified amount of time"


Despite all of this, every few years I'll dig it out of my steam library & try to gaslight myself into thinking its actually fun. I'm downloading it right now

I think I played like 1h of it and gave up. Though part of me feels I should have given it a better chance. Then again l played Solasta all the way through and I just ended up feeling empty with how mid it was, and sword coast seems exactly like that...

*This is actually my all-time favorite Zelda game honestly*

You were supposed to pick a bad game. Zelda II is awesome

Even though the game's garbo. Over time, It's slowly grown on me. :P

Megaman X6 is my pick too. I played the hell out of that game when it came out, and I really enjoyed it despite its flaws!

I had the same thoughts about Solasta! The concept sounded cool as a tool for d&d sessions but as a singleplayer game it felt way too generic & bland for me to care

Hakaiou: King of Crusher

This game is incredibly bad, but it's so hilarious that it made me keep playing just to see what else could possibly happen. Eventually it hits a point where it's so difficult to progress that the terribleness catches up and you have to walk away.

I might be too picky to enjoy a bad game.

 

[R66-Y]

As a kid i genuinely loved Sonic 2006 (maybe because it was the only PS3 game i had for a long time) but today i love it because it's a huge goldmine of unintentional comedy

The original Power Rangers game for the Genesis

Yes, it's jank and very one note, but I appreciate how charming the game is along with the Zord battles and the storyline it follows. It's also made by Banpresto and they rarely make outright bad games

 

[What's His Face]

Bad cover art aside, I have no clue why this game appears on so many "bad" game lists. Sure, the ending is pure cheese, but this game is freaking awesome!
