Games you like that other hate.

Still, you're right, it is pretty stupid. But I find that fun!

yeah stupid, but the classic and nostalgic kind of stupid, the kind that takes you back to those days ^.^

(god I feel old now =P)

FF10. I'm the only one among my friends who will play and analyze JRPGs, and for all its frustrations, its combat and narrative were enough to make up for the flaws. One thing I like about Final Fantasy games is that even if the dialogue and fine detailing of the story can be a bit poorly written and poorly voiced, the overarching story always asks an interesting question, and FF10 asked which is a greater evil: living in a world ruled by sorrow, or one ruled by false hope.

I suppose you meant in your circle of friends only considering FFX is arguably the second most popular title in the series, having even won a favorite poll over FFVII and frequently cited as one of the best games available on the PS2. So it is definitely not a overly disliked title by any means. Personally I found the voice actor and dialogue relatively solid. This was after all the first game to have as much voiced content as it did or close to it.

Anyhow I quite fancy Legend of Dragoon, which has mixed reviews from what I have witnessed. Remarkably I actually enjoyed Final Fantasy X-2, despite the awful storyline. The gameplay is frankly the best the series as seen and while the class system is masqueraded beneath a Barbie doll gimmick, it is still a solid system upon the core level.

I agree, I enjoyed FF10, with the exception of the voice actor for Tidus. Could've been better, though granted, it could've been worse as well. Overall, Final Fantasy 10 was a solid game, and I'm glad it ended my PS2 virginity.

My vote for a game I've liked that people seem to hate (other than WoW, because it seems everyone either loves it or hates it) is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. People seem to complain about 3 things for that game:
1) too short (aka, beat it in 9 hours). To that, I agree, but I can overlook it.
2) too overpowered/no challenge. That was the point of the game from the start, playing a character that uses the Force in over-the-top ways. As for no challenge, people obviously didn't play Sith Master difficulty.
3) weak story. True, but by standards of all games, and even by standards of just Star Wars games, it's by no means the worst (Jedi Academy had a TERRIBLE story)

The Monster Hunter games, we MH fans can somehow look past a steep learning curve, bad camera controls, annoying load times, terrible hit boxes, and repetitive grindy gameplay, and still enjoy this series.

this. thisthisthisthisthis. it's got such a huge learning curve, and the controls take a while, and the camera sucks ass, but once you get past all that, you're IN. it just destroys your life. seriously, me and three other friends got the game over the summer, disliked the game at first, but once we figured everything out...let's just say there were plenty of sleepless nights spent killing monsters.

 

[Romblen]

TimeShift, most people I know found it boring. I didn't think so.

 

[Lupeclan]

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
SSX On Tour
The Conduit
Zombie Driver
Counter-Strike: Source

Those are the only ones of the top of my head, alot i based the "who hated" on my friend group.

My dislike of the dialogue was mostly centered around Maester Seymour. I hate everything about that guy, and I would have elevated FF10 from 'very good' to excellent if he had been cut out entirely.

Halo 3

The customization options for multiplayer can lead to some really fun custom games I can't experience in any other game without being on at the right time to play on a custom server.

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

I liked Alone in the Dark, it was a good campaign.

...what?

i belive that ff10 is a genraly underated game with a brilliant story and an end that left me sad but satisfied

sometimes of the time forums regarding ff reject anyone whose favroute game is not 7 or 8 and GOD help you if you tell them you like 12 (i did and it wasnt pretty)

I liked FF12 also. It was actually my first experience with the Final Fantasy Series. I prefer 10 though.

I thought this was considered to be the best of the Final Fantasy games. Frankly, it's the only one I consider any good.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

Mirror's Edge was awesome. A very good take on the FPS.
WET was good. A little repetitive but a nicely presented grindhouse visual (plus great music)
Final Fantasy XIII is still a great RPG, despite it's linear story.

Those are just a few I could name off the top of my head. I reckon every game has something that helps it shine out from everything else...well, nearly everything: Eat Lead is still the worst Xbox 360 I've played...but not nesscarly the worst I WILL play.

 

[Broomster]

Dark Messiah might and magic was pretty awesome!
Right?..

 

[Marowit]

World of Warcraft.

I know a bunch of people like it, but I know a lot of people hate it too.
