Some games fall foul to the collective hatred of the Internet. According to the Internet, they are worse than Hitler. People just hate them, and in recent memory I can think of two, both of which came out in the last holiday season.
Fallout 3 was already destined to fail. It took a loved franchise, and messed with it completely. While in the end it was a good game, hell, a very good game, it was still hated. The fact that it was slightly buggy only added fuel to the fire of hatred, and soon came the huge, inevitable, backlash. What were once Fallout fansites were breeding grounds for hate of it's new deformed brother - people simply didn't like it. It's settled down now, but for a short while Fallout 3 was one of the most hated games on the planet. That was, until...
Fable 2 was too destined to fail, but for a different reason, and that reason was Peter Molyneux. Everyone knew Fable 2 couldn't live up to the hype, and when it didn't there wasn't as much hate as simply refusing to play it. Rather than establishing fanboys, people just became anti-Molyneux. He promised an open world, and... it wasn't. And sadly, it seems things are destined to stay that way - people just don't want to play Fable 2. They're not against it, they just don't care. That's the unfortunate part - it's a good game that I've sunk about 30 hours into; Peter Molyneux effectively killed his own game.
What other games are there like these, ones that people were against, mostly on principle?
