I've progressed far enough into Crypt of the Necrodancer to understand why it has a huge following in Japan.
The 1/2 HP (one extra life though), limited to 1 dmg weapon (you die if you equip another), insta-death on missed beat character isn't even the hardest.

Ha! Gotta love how a bunch of villagers can beat the shit out of the final boss. To be fair though, he is a bit of a pushover. My character was so broken by the end of the game that I one-shot him.Fat_Hippo said:
As someone who has never even played the game, I was most perplexed by the fact that he's standing in a field a minute's walking distance away from the start of the game. Is he just standing around spying on people for fun, or what is his deal? Most grand villains have some kind of fortress to hang out in.RedDeadFred said:
He kidnaps your sister at the beginning of the game and basically gets you to go on a bunch of quests for him so that he'll let her go. It's been a long time so I don't really remember any of the specifics, but that's the gist of it. Why he picks the weakest person in the world (seriously, I remember it taking me 50+ hits to kill a bear in the early game) for his mission instead of doing it all himself is one of the game's biggest mysteries.Fat_Hippo said:
Yeah that's the impression I get as well. It was probably caused by Infinity Ward's destruction that happened mid-development. Even Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software jumping onto the project couldn't save it.Dalisclock said:
In multiplayer especially. There are bountiful amounts of brilliant ideas that later games could have refined and balanced that were just kinda left behind in MW3, which only adds to the tragedy but also makes MW3 still stand out as this unique(ish) entry in the series.
Guild Wars 2
Ok technically I DID love it but now I always asked myself why do I keep playing it or why can I not simply stop playing and moved on (short answer is the achivement despite it's not good in the long run and I invent so much into it already)?

Easy... Sonic 06... One of my playthroughs involved me getting all S ranks on every main stage of the game just to win a 100-buck bet... I hated every, fucking minute of that shit and yet, I still came back to do another playthrough [almost] akin to when I first played it blind for LP purposes... I think I've beaten this game more than any other Sonic game to date!
Other than that, the closest game to get "second place" was this one flash game [off Newgrounds] called Undress Derpy... The joy I felt after finally beating it [for the first time] made me wish that I didn't feel like I wanted to play that shit again!

I'm going through this now actually. Kingdom Hearts. I played it back when it was on PS2 and forgot a good 90% of it. I got a deal on the PS3 HD1.5 Final Mix version. Keep in mind I've never played 2 or any spin-offs, but I have seen half of 2 on youtube.
The jumping controls are awful, there's a ton of back-tracking, the combat is clumsy and slow, the combat MENU IN A REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT is a terrible idea. "Time out Jafar, I gotta rummage around and get my healing item." Then there's the NPC party members who can't hold their own and blow through healing items, which is the same reason I stopped playing Rogue Galaxy (I'm sorry Mr. Blum, I tried.) The story is flat-out psychotic and I still question whether FF combined with Disney is a stupid idea or not. I usually think "Yeah, that could work, I'm willing to try it." then after about twenty minutes of playing it I'm just at the point where I'm internally screaming "This is the fucking stupidest idea ever, who in a boardroom mentioned this thinking they wouldn't be laughed out of their job?!"
But I WANNA LIKE IT. So far I like the Traverse Town theme. ...that's it.

Usually, if I really hate a game I drop it and never pick it up again. The only exception would have to be World of Tanks. On a normal day it can be massively infuriating, but lately it's been damn neat insufferable due to all the hackers on Xbox One that Wargaming refuse to do anything about. And yet, even with the massive amount of bullshit I know I'm going to deal with every time I get on I continue to keep playing. I don't know why, but I do.
Hate to play...hmm maybe Fallout 4? It's fun and all...but I find that things are too meandering and unfocused. Sometimes too much sandbox is a bad thing!
I don't really HATE HATE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE anything, so no, I don't see the point in playing something I don't enjoy. I can watch bad movies, that's about it.
