me too. it mixed everything i liked about the prime series with more classic metroid games and put things more in an action centric perspective, expressing the inner badass samus has always been... except for in the cutscenesMetalDooley said:

To me, XIII would be the masterpiece. I'm not saying I hate XII but I like the story to XIII more.martintox said:
Also X-2 and the White Knight Chronicles, I don't understand why so many people hate them so much.
For me it's Bionic Commando (2009).
I thought it was a very fun game. I loved the swinging and the combat. Radition zones were bullshit though, no denying that. What I see most people complain about is the story, and the look of the protagonist. Neither of these things bother me at all. Also, while most people hate the unexpected plot twist at the end, I didn't. Though I tend to find those unexpected, completely out of nowhere kinds of twists to be very interesting.
Also, Brutal Legend is an AMAZING game, it shouldn't be showing up in any of these lists. My one and ONLY complaint about that game is that it was way too short. I still replay that game on Brutal difficulty every now and then.

Viewtiful Joe is one of my favourite games ever. A pox on the house of anyone who dislikes it. It's not even all that anime-y, more like a pastiche of schlocky monster/action movies in general.ZZoMBiE13 said:
For me, it's starting to feel like everyone hates Oblivion. I know that it has garnered tremendous acclaim and glowing reviews, but man, do I see a huge amount of criticism and in some cases outright hatred for it. But it remains one of my favourites. I actually prefer it to Skyrim, a seemingly very rare opinion.
I know a lot of people who didn't like Pokemon Diamond and Pearl as much as some of the older ones. And to be honest, I'm not huge on those ones either. I wonder, however, how many of those people were willing to give Platinum a chance, because that one's pretty awesome. It is as slow as Diamond and Pearl, but the design and the sheer number of new toys (not just additional Pokemon, but early access to awesome items, too) really redeem it for me.
...that's really the best I've got. I guess A Nightmare on Elm Street isn't as bad as other crap Rare and LJN put out in the NES days...

I didn't hate FFXIII
I actually stopped playing once it got to a point where if sufficiently opened up for my guide to tell me to backtrack for CP, and I thought to myself that I'd get back to it later. Never did.

I enjoyed it. Didn't even know people hated it until recently, because I wasn't aware of the reasons.Big_Willie_Styles said:
Well a lot of people I know hate that Skyward Sword uses motion controls. I personally adore the motion controls, and couldn't imagine the next game going back.
wait people didnt like the new trailer?anthony87 said:
everyone i know is very excited. i guess people cant get over the fact that the solid saga is done and a new and fresh experience awaits in rising
Final Fantasy X-2. Up until the moment I actually played it, I had heard nothing but complaints about it, a great majority of which got dispelled for me after the tutorial stage, and I enjoy the game very much.
I have to go with Advent Rising; the trailer to this game still gives me goosebumps. The creatures themselves are not that different from say the Elites from Halo but the whole idea of your character being the last surviving Human and that Humanity is hailed as Gods for being able to unlock Psychokinetic powers is pretty interesting. The gameplay at the beginning is a bit of a mess due to the awful targeting system but once you have your powers, nothing could be more fun.
The cutscenes are quite entertaining, the voice acting is surprisingly well done and the music by Tommy Tallarico is simply wonderful. Although I will point out that someone on the development team apparently has never seen a women since their version of a woman each has 34E breasts and extremely slim waists... While obviously most men would not care for that in REAL life, it's a bit odd to see all the women figured like that.
Overall it's a game that I thoroughly enjoy, mostly for the story and music, and wished that it could've gotten the sequels that they planned on making. The man who was in charge of the production group, who is now in charge of Chair (Creators of Shadow Complex) said they would love to do the sequels but don't have the rights to do them.

Advent Rising for some reason could never get any of my friends hooked on the game, as well the Ar Tonelico seris.
Dragon Age 2, which is easily my GOTY. No, it's not perfect. No game is. Everyone creaming themselves over Skyrim have to admit that the dialogue is hilariously basic and the bugs are astoundingly high. However, to them, those things don't matter as much as the freedom and flow of gameplay. Same for me and DA2. One man's deal breaker is another's whatever. DA2's flaws are mostly all things that don't bug me much, and its strengths are all things that are top of the list in importance for me.
Also, I loved most of the series to varying degrees, but Final Fantasy XII is easily and without contest my favourite of the entire bunch.
It used to really bug me that nobody else likes the games I do, and all the really big name popular games seem to whoosh over my head audibly. But truth be told, I've mostly stopped giving a shit. So long as the stuff I like keeps getting made, I don't really care what everybody else thinks about it, and I wish everyone the best with the stuff I don't give a crap about that they love.

I really need to go back to that game, I got stuck and just stopped playing.Valanthe said:
As for my game, I'm pretty mainstream. With my friends I would say Star Wars: Galaxies. Being married to someone who has earned a handful of World First achievements in World of Warcraft has cause a few arguments over how bad or good Star Wars: Galaxies was.
If I'm comparing to online I would say Battlefield 3 Campaign. Perhaps it is because it is the first military campaign I've played (aside from Army of One which I hated) or perhaps it was because my internet was down and I was desperate to play anything. In either case I liked it, minus the glitch at the very end of the game
Where I'm fighting with the main antagonist in the middle of a street with everyone screaming and pointing.[spoiler/] Which would of been cool except for some reason the game failed to render him. So all I saw was me kicking ass and getting my ass kicked by myself.
Oh yeah man.javelinstark said:
Take a look in any of the Rising related threads, cries of Ruined FOREVER and They Changed It, Now It Sucks abound. Apparently the trailer featuring the cyborg ninja who can breakdance mini Metal Gears to death, stop a city sized battleship with one arm and rain down lightning on a squad of soldiers was too ridiculous....
