This is going off of @King koopa's "games you like that everyone else hates" thread, so credit to him for the original idea.
Are there any popular/well-received games that you just don't like? I know I have some. The definition of "popular" here can vary, but in general, it just has to be a game that most people like, even if it's more of a cult classic. I'll start!
Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow- I know that some of the Pokémon fandom is screaming right now, but I don't like the original games. I understand that they were pretty innovative at the time of release, but they're just way too glitchy and broken for my tastes. I don't like Kanto as a region due to personally finding it boring and being turned off by Game Freak (and genwunners) showing blatant favoritism towards it. I like Squirtle and Bulbasaur, am a bit neutral on Eevee, but I don't like Pikachu (much prefer Raichu) or Charmander's entire line. Seriously, Clefairy should have been the mascot. Even if I did love Kanto, I'd rather play the GBA remakes or even Let's Go.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2- I don't have a problem with the games themselves, the storylines are cool and once again, innovation, but I have terrible motion sickness and physically can't play the games without getting nauseous. I actually got the game from my aunt who suffered from motion sickness because of the game, then I had to give it away due to motion sickness. Apparently Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort were fine, but Mario Galaxy was too much for me.
Undertale- Nothing super specific to say about this one. Used to be a huge fan, but then Deltarune came out and, at least in my opinion, blew Undertale right out of the water. The game still has a killer soundtrack and memorable characters, but gameplay wise, I think Deltarune is so much better and every time I've tried to replay Undertale, I found myself getting bored and the story is just a little too much for me. I get the message, but I want to be able to be a killer maniac without feeling bad about it, lol.
But these are just a few of mine. I'd love to hear what you folks have to say.
