What are some games that are considered bad that you like?

Specs Ops The Line, first time i played on PS3 and i din't give the full attention, i bought it when was on Humble Bundle and im enjoying very much, totally regret not playing on PS3 when i had the chance.
 
I know that awhile after it was released, Super Paper Mario received a lot of hate from fans of the first two Paper Mario games (it probably still does, but I see Sticker Star get much more hate). I really liked SPM, even if it was an incredibly easy game compared to the others.

Yoshi Story for the N64 was considered bad. Me? One of my favorites on the N64.


Was it? First I've heard. I actually thought that was praised pretty well. It was my first Wii VC game :D

Final Fantasy XIII. It's so hated - yet I can't get enough of it! I'm completely in love with the geography and mythology. :D Currently on my third play-through of it.

Spooky cause I was just talking about that particular FF with a friend earlier and he said he liked it too and can't understand why it was trashed on so bad.

OMG LOL @ ALL DOGZ & CATZ TALK. Super duper never got into that wow, any of those weird Ubisoft games where they didn't know what to make so they ripped Nintendo off just were always weird to me. Their original stuff is much more up to par.

Uh yeah I never understood why SPM got slammed so hard, it was a great game. Sticker Star I didn't even think needed to be hit this hard even if it is pretty blah in comparison to it's console counterparts

I don't think most people say Mario Sunshine is bad, but I do know a lot of people say it's not their favorite or they skipped because they thought the water controls were a "gimmick", obviously these children on here don't understand what a gimmick is if that's their excuse.

I agree. Super Mario Sunshine was freaking amazing!!

Same. I like it too and I don't understand why so many fans don't like it. I also love Final Fantasy VIII and that game often gets bashed by fans as well.

I also love Sonic '06, sorry not sorry.

Eh, Sticker Star I was kinda mad about at first because it was the reason I got a 3DS in the first place (I wasn't planning on getting ACNL until I suddenly preordered the February before it came out). But now, it's just... forgettable. A lot of the time I forget it exists because nobody ever talks about it lol.
 
Two of my favourite games, actually, compared to the reception of the others in the series.

The more notable of the two would be Spyro: A Hero's Tail. Of the original five, it seems to be one of the most hated for some undiscernible reason (excluding EtD- that game's pitifully glitchy)... But yet, I didn't find it too bad? The graphics were good for the time, and the gameplay was amazingly fun. Sure, the dialogue was extremely cheesy... But did I care when many of the other elements were pure gaming gold to me as a kid, and are still enjoyable to this day?

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, despite being my favourite entry in the series, is widely hated for many reasons such as 'It was too easy' or 'The wolf mechanic was horrible'. In terms of easiness? No. There are segments that I literally had to look up a decent guide. I also kind of enjoyed the wolf mechanic. However, one of the oddest complaints I've heard for it is that Hyrule Field is desolate. One thing's for sure: I found more there than in OoT!

Other mentions are the Spore game released for the DS (no-one seems to even know of it, and the few that do hate it) and Super Paper Mario.
 
Oh man, speaking of Zelda, I love Skyward Sword. I thought it had great graphics, great characters, and a great plot. I get why people dislike certain aspects of it, but it's definitely not as bad as people make it out to be, honestly. It deserves more praise from the fandom than it gets. I also never understood why everyone hated on Twilight Princess. TP is a good game in its own right.

I got my 3DS for Paper Mario too! But it's totally forgettable except for the annoying Wiggler part. It looks awesome though, it's suited for the 3DS well at any rate.

Oh god any Spore release aside from the main PC one was rated poorly for the most part, that series was a disappointment. The main PC Spore game was fun, but was so limiting. I never bothered with the DS or Wii things because they looked weird and totally unlike the PC game.

I've never heard hate on Twilight Princess except people who were anti-Wii remote didn't like the Wii version, or went for the GCN version to appose the Wii I guess. But I never found it to be too hard, but I didn't find it to be easy either. Certain things I also had to find a guide or I figured it out but I have no idea how I or anyone else was suppose to figure it out LOL So high five on that one. I feel like TP is what OoT would have been if OoT came out later. TP = OoT Advanced. Idk if that's fair since TP is awesome but I felt like it was one of the more well rounded Zelda games.

I think as for Skyward Sword most people frowned on the controls and some of the characters. I guess people didn't like Girahim in comparison to Zant. *points to that other board on TBT with the poll between the two* lol I like Zant better, but I liked Skyward Sword just as well.

I really enjoyed FFXIII myself. Pulse felt kinda stupid in the grand sense of the plot, but it offered a lot of game time to sink in. Still need that darn Treasure Hunter trophy for plat. I can't handle killing another adamantoise again without completely hating the game. I also really loved Hope, whom everyone and their mother rags on. Ah I just remembered the ending was kinda weak too. But overall I really enjoyed a large portion of the game.

I'm having a hard time getting into XIII-2 though. (Yeah my backlog is huge, finally playing it.). I'm still on the beach so I can't hate it yet. I was quite taken aback by the QTE and being thrown into the story so suddenly like that. Many wtfs were thought.

Yeah... Skyward Sword is a bit too hated as well. I can understand with the motion controls- they're a bit finnicky and hard to understand if you're bit used to them. However, I don't think it makes it a bad game, necessarily. The plot was good enough, and the characters are some of the most developed of the series.

@N64king: I understand that myself. As a kid, though, I never got to play the PC version, so the 1st DS game was the only creature creating I got to do. Perhaps that's why I enjoy it so much?
 
I don't know if anyone here have heard of it, but I love "Dog's Life" for the ps2. I don't really know if it's considered a bad game though.
 
I think my sister played it back in the day. Was it the one where you followed scents and stuff? I don't remember much of it, see seemed to have enjoyed it.
 
I don't know if it was considered bad, but some people didn't really enjoy Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks. I loved it.

Probably! It's nostalgia for you and maybe it wasn't that bad anyway, I just never thought it looked any fun. I always felt like they marketed it as "buy the Wii or DS game and transfer your animals into the PC game", which felt like an EA money grab. If that wasn't the case then oops on me. I'd support EA bringing back Spore if it was gonna work out better. WiiU Spore if it works = yes.

OMG NO THAT ISN'T A BAD GAME AT ALL!!!! I think it got decent reviews!!! Or at least a passable grade. I remember the graphics looked kinda PCish though, like goo pudding with brighter colors. I remember the scentovision or whatever with the blue yellow and pink smoke.

Nope not considered bad, in fact people seem to be warmer to Spirit Tracks than Phantom Hourglass except for the flute part.

I'd say that's the most likely thing for me. Either way, it was definitely a lot better than the second DS Spore game, Spore Hero Arena.

Personally, I'd love to see something similar to the original come to the Wii U or something. I'd love to finally experience it for myself, or at least something of the sort.
