Games everyone but you hates.

[danintexas]

That would be Brink, Shadowrun, generally all RPGs and Dynasty Warriors

that's what my real life friends think at least...

So with you on Brink and Shadowrun. SR I load up from time to time to have some old fashioned FPS style play. Sadly I end up doing so against bots. But sometimes it is fun to have a 50 kills 0 deaths game

Mercenaries 2

I love it!

 

[Frankster]

Alice Madness returns as it keeps being reffered to as a horrible game on this site.

Personally, it struck my fancy for 3d platforming, pleasant visuals and weird tim burtonesque setting and tone just bang on.

And then my cd broke and I was sad

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Thats easy!
-Duke Nukem Forever
-Alice: Madness Returns
-WET
-Brutal Legend

........and Final Fantasy X-2 (Although, the opening pop song scene did make me wonder if I had bought the right game.

I loved that song...and the game, everyone else i know hates it with a firey passion.

I thought it was a decent sequel. It felt more like a extended epilogue to me but I still liked it.

 

[Andrew Record]

Dokapon Kingdom (fucking LOVE it!), Dynasty Warriors, and Zelda 2.

Also, since the OP didn't specify VIDEO games, add Risk to that list. People today are lame - no one wants to sit around a table for five hours moving little plastic men! ;-;

Who the hell hates Risk? Good lord, some of the best hang out sessions i've ever had have been with buddies sitting around a Risk board for hours and hours. We used to have Round RObin elimination tournaments with that. I suck now, but back when like early 2000's, i enjoyed it alot and was decent

 

[kgpspyguy]

battlefield heroes...love it

 

[Weentastic]

I thought Crysis did more for the FPS genre than any Halo sequel did, and maybe even more than COD:MW, although it was a fantastic game. I can't say that I've heard that much bad about it, although I'm sure it was overreactive screaming for more dual wielding or similiar nonsense.

And to mirror another poster, I'd have a lot more to say if the opposite question was asked, I just have a low tolerance for the usual gamer bullshit.

This should be changed into something of a 'guilty pleasures' thread, to be honest.

As for my contribution to the thread? Dynasty Warriors 6: empires, and Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3.

... What? Don't look at me like that, I like Dynasty Warriors, okay?

Shadow the Hedgehog. Most of the modern Sonic games that I've actually played really were half ass (not counting the stellar imo Sonic Battle for GBA) though I still had some fun with them, but I genuinely enjoyed StH and do plan to buy it again one day.

Also, Risk is awesome. Monopoly... not so much.

Have you played Sonic Generations yet? It's basically the best sonic game to come out since Sonic 2, IMO.

 

[nyysjan]

For those who said FF XII, you are not alone.
It had its problems (short, weak characterication), but it was a decent game, even more so when compared to FF XIII or FF XIV.

 

[WhiteFlower]

Mount and Blade. Everything I could imagine in an RPG/RTS. It is the perfect blend of ideas...just needs some smoothing out in some areas.

 

[Weeden Project]

Halo Wars.
Go on, shoot me for it.

 

[javelinstark]

duke nukem forever
i had a blast with it. i dont really see everyones deal.
and
brutal legend
everyone tells me they didnt pull it off well enough. its still in my top 3 games of all time.

 

[javelinstark]

Mount and Blade. Everything I could imagine in an RPG/RTS. It is the perfect blend of ideas...just needs some smoothing out in some areas.

that game was amazing
how could anyone not enjoy it?

 

[Fleetfiend]

Final Fantasy X-2, XII, and XIII.

I freaking loved XII. And while I was disappointed for various reasons with the other two, I didn't think they were near as bad as others made them out to be. I still enjoyed the games, even though I was a bit let down.

 

[Starke]

DA2? Sure it's less than stellar but it doesn't really deserve the amount of "worst gaem evar!'s" the gaming community throws its way.

Definitely Dragon Age 2.

I can see the disappointment in people, but the inferiority to the original didn't prevent me from enjoying the game.

Yeah, I honestly even have a hard time seeing the disappointment. I mean, it's a different game, but, for what it is, DA2 was fantastic, and actually entertaining writing from Bioware...

Alpha Protocol.

Quite a few tech problems, but it has an amazing writing and arguably the only game where your choice means something

Alpha Protocol had issues, but it was a very solid game.

Mount and Blade. Everything I could imagine in an RPG/RTS. It is the perfect blend of ideas...just needs some smoothing out in some areas.

I didn't realize that was a universally hated game. All I've ever heard was praise for that series.

Anyway, on my own:

Two Worlds

The dialog was hilarious, not standard English, but it was consistent.
Gameplay started off slow, but it was easy enough to break turning the game into a hilarious session of wading into enemies and tearing them apart.

Titan Quest

Easily the best Diablo Clone I've ever played.

Chrome

Ignoring the gawdawful stealth maps. This is actually a pretty entertaining open world FPS.

 

[MetalDooley]

Metroid:Other M

Bar the rather flat voice acting for Samus and the silly decision to withhold the Varia suit upgrade I actually really enjoyed this game.The level of hatred directed at it is laughable to be honest

 

[Fleetfiend]

Bioshock 2s multiplayer.

I had a BLAST with that multiplayer. But I have a blast with most multiplayers, so that's not necessarily saying much.

P.S. I'm not a big fan of multiplayer for the sake of multiplayer, don't get me wrong. I hate that they do it, but I almost always have fun with it anyways.
