Message: [QUOTE="mrrgrrgrr, post: 542983, member: 4039"] There are a ton of long running game franchises out there that have stood the test of time, but not all of their entries are winners. There's always at least one game that didn't sit right with people. I'm talking about stuff like Devil May Cry 2, Mega Man X7, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Metroid Other M, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, etc. Games that are infamous for their low quality of gameplay in an otherwise great series, or at the very least have a poor reputation amongst fans. When playing through a game series, whether it's for the first time or for the 50th time, do you still attempt to stomach these? Are there any that you tried out of morbid curiosity? Were there any that you tried for the first time that turned out to be better than you expected? Personally, I've been replaying the Castlevania series from start to finish and I've made my way up to the 3D games. I was going to skip them and just focus on the 2D entries, but instead I ended up jumping into Castlevania 64 and I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't call it a [I]good game[/I] per se, but it wasn't the dumpster fire I was expecting either. Edit: Loving the responses so far, especially the topic of what we can consider "the bad one". It's such a nebulous term that could mean anything, so I'm facinated by how people have personally defined it thus far. [/QUOTE]
