Alright escapist I issue you a challenge. Say one nice thing about a game you hate. It can't be sarcastic, it can't be a backhanded compliment, something genuinely nice that you enjoy about it. If you can't come up with something pick a different game.

I thoroughly enjoy turning on rage in dead island and plowing through hordes of zombies while limbs go flying everywhere

GTA is a great game for just plain goofing-off.

BioShock Infinite had some impressive visuals. Sure, the graphical fidelity wasn't on the same level as some other recent shooters, but the aesthetic choices made it's visuals far more appealing than most of them. I also thought exploring you did at certain sections (before the first fight, at the beach after the tower, outside the Hall of Heroes, and in Shantytown) were some of the most positively memorable moments in the entire BioShock franchise, and as a huge fan of BioShock and, to a lesser extent, BioShock 2, that's quite a compliment.

BF3 gave me quite a rush when I was playing the singleplayer with headphones and the volume turned up. (and didn't think TOO much about what was happening.)

Skyrim had a pretty skybox at night time.

thomas was alone managed to convince me a bunch of squares were characters, too bad they were very very simplistic ones

Alan Wake's combat mechanics were well designed and I particularly enjoyed the way Alan would frantically duck-weave out of the way of thrown objects. I also thought his agent was funny and I was genuinely moved when he stays with Alan in the latter portion of the game, despite knowing how dangerous the place is and being utterly terrified of it all.

Killzone 3 had great attention to detail and further fleshed out the Helghast in an indirect manner (i.e. the Visari salute thing, the existence of the hairy aristocracy, the politicking within their society) - oh and it carried out the tradition for outstanding voice performances for the Helghast as well.

Batman Arkham Asylum had a clear tonal focus and atmosphere that encompassed the game.

Assassin's Creed 3 has Paul Revere riding ***** on your horse. Its pretty funny.

I like some of the summons in Final Fantasy 7. That is literally the only nice thing I have to say about that game and the associated film/spinoffs.

I enjoyed the voice acting and dialogue of Alistair and Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins.
The rest was a plodding stew of uninteresting, but at least they got a laugh out of me more than a few times.

while I don't hate it..Watch_Dogs has a VERY slick intro title sequence and soundtrack

The sections of Dragon Age 2 were Varric exagerates were kinda funny.

 

[GabeZhul]

I just find it really funny how most of the examples people are bringing up as games they "hated" are some of the most highly regarded and universally loved titles out there. I was expecting more actually bad games is all I am saying...

 

[Evonisia]

Modern Warfare 3 can be quite fun in the Face Off gamemode, the madness seems to work well with the small map/small player system.

That's literally all I could say besides the character models of named individuals look nice, I guess.

Ninja'd by the first post. Damn you

OT: Dragon age II looks pretty enough. (once it's done loading)

Dark Souls had fantastic boss fights, which really reminded me of playing Monster Hunter.

Resistance: Fall of Man had a really nice setting. I love playing games set in the 40's/50's/60's like Wolfenstein, Fallout and Metal Gear Solid 3. There's something about the old-fashioned design of things that I find really aesthetically pleasing.

 

[FPLOON]

Sonic 06 had a very kickass soundtrack...

OT: Game of Thrones, the PS3 version, had a very engaging non-canon story fitting of the ASOIAF mythos as a whole...

Dragon's Dogma:
- The Pawn sharing system was cool.
- Being able to climb around on monsters Shadow of the Colossus style was fun.
- The character creation was extensive without being overly detailed or hard to use.
- Being able to pick up and throw NPCs (allies, neutrals, small monsters) was a barrel of laughs.
- The 'fighter' class was fun to play in combat.
