@Super-Franky:
Wait, people hate Resident Evil 1-3?? Seriously?
2, not so much. But 1 and 3, yes. Remake, yes. Code Veronia, yes. Zero, GOD YES! Now that Resident Evil 4 is friendly for people who hated the original style, it's become everyone fashion to bash the original style.
Resident Evil 2 is sparred because it was awesome. However, they instead pick to ignore it.
Resident Evil 4 is now the series opus. :getlost:
…Also, Final Fantasy XIII.
So far, I agree.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh. Poor Halo.
Agreed.
Haha, the funny thing is it's not as sad as people here think it is when it's sold so many copies, it's really a monster franchise and nobody can deny that. That's more of a fact than opinion really, you can hate the game but have to admit the franchise is just immense.
-Star Ocean Till the End of Time: This game took my teenage life. I got all 300 Battle Trophies, and have at least over 1000 hours on it. Not to mention it's fun. Atleast there is a decent community on the gameFAQs SO3 board and I have a cirlce of friends that like it too.
-Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter: Sure it's different, but I loved it.
-Raditata Stories: Enough said.
gee this is a tough one.
I love the old NES game, anticipation, but I doubt anyone's even heard of it.
Sonic Heroes
The first hour of Shadow the Hedgehog
Halo
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is pretty much the only one I can think of off the bat. I didn't go into it expecting anything epic, and was rewarded by a fun little game.
@ZeArmyOfHalen:
Also Super Mario Sunshine and…
Was this really hated as much as it was slightly disappointing to people? I loved the hidden retro style levels.
Godhand
simply cause most people don't know about it. Nor care to find out. (which is the greatest hate there is. IT's like hating yourself)
seriously like one of the most underrated games EVER.
The hate wouldn't even apply if more people knew about it.
My PS2 was dead when it came out(drive problem).
What's good about it?
I remember the reviews at the time were all "flawed masterpiece" or somesuch.
Kingdom Hearts 2.
Final fantasy 8
Bad cameras in RE 1 to code Veronica. I freaking love them.
Love is going way to far for this. More like I thought it was "o.k"
Don't kill me for this and I warn you:
! Shadow the Hedgehog
If it's any consolation, the game isn't as messy as Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.
For me it'd be Capcom Fighting Jam; I don't care for the graphics but the way they managed to bring together the gameplay aspects was nicely done, though could've been better. Non the less, I like the game. If only Pyron were legit though (canceling a teleport into teleport is ridiculous)
EDIT: I also agree with the OP's comment on love being good.

Basically, it's not perfect. (crummy graphics/voice acting). But I feel the gameplay is true and true simply fucking wonderful. Tons of upgrades and extremely difficult even on easy.
apparently IGN hates the game. Here's a gamers video response to their article that gave the game a 3.0!

Well I've ordered it, guess I'll find out for myself next week.
The ending song to Godhand is fantastic BTW, especially the English version.
Oh and I also like KoF XII <3
Lets be realistic, nobody hates Resident Evil 1-3 (They just like 4 better).
Anyways, as for the topic at hand, its not really HATED as much as it is blown off, but Final Fantasy V is still one of my favorite games of all time.
Marvel vs Capcom 2. :getlost:
Heh.
Well I've ordered it, guess I'll find out for myself next week.
that's my man! Awesome choice Darkstorm!
I hope it's your type of game. I do know people who just simply don't like it.
but if you like:
-Old school beat em' ups
-self aware humor
-cheesy humor
-challenging gameplay
-addictive gameplay
-other cool stuff
i'm sure you'll be fine
Wrath of the Black Manta - NES
Cheesy game that tried to get kids to stay away from drugs and gangs. LOL!
Bujingai: The Forsaken City - PS2
It's like DMC crossed with Shinobi crossed with Kung-Fu.
Those two off the top of my head.

Now you're just playing the victim. MvC2 is hugely popular.
My games for this list: Bloody Roar 2, Tales of Legendia, and Zeus: Master of Olympus probably all qualify. Although the later is just a game that hardly anyone's played rather than being hated.

Exactly.
Its just doesn't do the whole tournament-level thing well.
Final Fantasy XIII, now my 2nd fav. FF game <3
Pen Pen Trilcelon, best racing game ever.

I actually liked Bloody Roar 2. I liked the art style. It was not as technique or rich as a Tekken or Street fighter. It was indeed a fun game. The story mode is pretty good for the average fighting game.
Shen Long, gado and Long were bad ass

Hahaha, Long is/was my main for every Bloody Roar game I've played. Woo, Combo Ring! I usually switched between him and Stun.
Bloody Roar is basically… a bad fighting game with really neat characters that turn into monsters. Just go on to a fansite or something and take a look through the character lists.

The transformations were bearable for me. I have seen worst stuff. Soul calibur 4 stripping the female characters widely.
Hm, I like the Megaman Star Force series all right, despite it getting an extra helping of hate from the Megaman fans who hate it for being a continuation of Battle Network, and the Battle Network fans who hate it for changing the mechanics and setting.
Speaking of which, I love Battle Network and X5.
Luigi's Mansion .

Marvel vs Capcom 2. :getlost:
Hey. I absolutely love Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, I have a friend who has an original Dreamcast copy and I long for the day when we used to play the hell out of it.
But I still know the game has way too many characters and that causes it to be broken as all hell. Anyone who has seen or experienced a Cable-Spam knows this.
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. This one's treated kinda like the red-headed stepchild of the series, but I absolutely LOVE it.
And I don't know if it's hated because of the franchise it's attached to, or whether people just really don't like it, but the Naruto: Gekito Ninja Taisen (Clash of Ninja) Series.
I really don't like Naruto anymore, but the game engine in the GNT series rocks out loud.
Also while I'm on it, Battle Stadium D.O.N. was pretty fun.

I'm pretty sure its the other way around. Anytime I've ever found myself discussing the two N64 Zeldas, both on and offline, everyone always seems to give Majora's Mask the higher praise.
CD-i Zeldas out of the picture, The Wind Waker is the red-headed stepchild if anything (of course I LOVE that game to death).
Power Stone (BOTH)
Mischief Makers (I knew 2 people other than me that liked it :V, and reviewers of course)
what can i say. i only like good games. :ninja:
I think Majora's Mask qualifies, most people I know hate it (myself included) Ocarina of Time was a major part of my childhood, Majora's mask was major dissapoint, I STILL NEVER GOT PAST THE BEGINNING DX
Final fantasy 8
This. I cannot understand how people love 7, and hate 8. 8 was amazing. The junction system was not that difficult. It was funny as hell, beautiful, witty, heart wrenching, heart warming, and soul destroying at the same time.
I'm one of those few that liked 7 but I never saw the appeal of 8.
I disliked the Junction System, had zero interest for the cast other than Laguna (or whatever the dream sequence character's name was), didn't care for the villain (I loved 9 also…but I'll be damned if I don't mention that the final boss in 9 was a HUGE asspull that was just terrible) and overall didn't like the world of FF8.
The game DID look amazing and interactive summon spells were nice but that's were my love for that particular installment.
FFIX ftw.
O_o Majora's Mask is the best 3D Zelda ever. Go finish it or regret it for the rest of your life.
That game was packed with tons of interesting people, stories and cleaver ass dungeon design (best dungeons I played in a 3D Zelda), and epic boss fights.Sure the intro is pretty annoying, but that's barely half of it.
edit: I'll mention Zelda:TP. Did I love it? Heck no! I have a friend that loves that garbage game to death. For Midna nontheless… I found the atmosphere and color of the game really boring, shallow and empty. Dungeons and bosses were also not cleaver at all.

I fell in love with the characters of 8, but made no connection whatsoever to 7's cast. I barely got through an hour of it before quitting. 9 I couldn't stand either.
I hope someday they do updated versions of the games, a really nice new CG version of 8 would make my life <3333
I was like… 11-12 when I got this game and in a bishie fangirl mode, so Squall's emo bishieness is what attracted me to it, and even though I care nothing for him today, the hilarity of the rest of the cast still makes me love it so. But I don't think I could play it again... not after the it taking me over a year to beat one certain part, which is sad because I got stuck near the end of the 2nd disc and had to restard it completely... That's what makes FF hard to get into, so easily you can get fucked over completely.
Same with Xenosaga, which is also not a super popular game.
I know more people who hate it, but the people who love it LOOOOOVE it. Though they're very easy to get stuck in too and its too much of a pain in the ass to restart. I also love the crap out of the characters in this game too, even though they do go deep into some of the character's history/psyche/emotions, they all still seem kind of dense (if that makes any sense). You get a lot of insight into some of the characters, but don't see much development (even after a major life changing event >_> Except for Shion who's drastically different each game).

B-b-but I can't figure out how to get past the first part!! D: Like after you go to the observatory and see the kid with the mask, what do you do from there? I need to find my dumb ass a guide book… I NEVER figured it out, I had nightmares about that moon.

Get the Moon's Tear and then just wait. Basically, run around town getting rupees and talking to people, getting to know the people for all the mask subquests later.
Then at Midnight on the night of the third day, the clock tower will open and you get to go in. You confront the Skull kid, but he's too powerful, then you get the Ocarina and play the song of time, go back to the beginning of the first day and the Happy Mask salesman gives you the song of Healing, gets the Mask off, you're normal Link again, then you start the game proper.

Hmmm… You are supposed to go outside and pick up the teardrop from the moon and give it to the Decu that owns the flower near the clock tower. From there, do whatever and come back on the final day at midnight(the clock tower opens, and with the flower available, you can reach it)
Edit: F***. beat me to it.

Hmm, I don't ever remember getting the moon's tear… But if that's all you have to do, if I can find it then hopefully I can actually play the game now. Because it would be awesome to actually play it XD

For some reason I saw that one coming…
To each their own :D
Castlevania Judgment. That game is fun as fuck, no matter what anyone else says. Just ask Tonfa, we had some fun-ass times with that game! Plus, I get to fucking play as Dracula! With all his famous moves!
Also, I fucking conquered that game online when people were still playing it. #1 in the rankings by several thousand points! :)
Probably didn't say it in the original thread…Sonic Unleashed and the Bourne Conspiracy.
Ahh, a guilty pleasure thread.
The Kingdom Hearts series. I know it's mostly disney nostalgia and jpop cotton candy, but I have a blast playing them anyway.
Final fantasy 8
I had an OK time with that game. IMO, it was a FF games where it's possible to bullshit your way thru the game by giving enough leeway to get thru the game without constantly grinding for levels. And when you get a buttload of money, raid the store and boost your stats thru the roof.
This game and X allowed me to play the game mostly on a strategic level with multiple "right ways" to do it. For someone who hates grinding (and Drawing) these kept the games enjoyable to end.
LOVE AND PEACE
Copy paste from the last thread.
Final Fantasy X-2 : I wasn't attracted to the characters or their outfits either. Outside of FFIX, and FFVI, my favorite FF.
Ephermal Phantasia: Did the time loop thing rather well. I'd say better than Majoria's mask. Demands level grinding and still is hard as fuck, but as a longtime Dragon Quest player I appreciate the challange.
Radiata Stories: Favorite game. Middle finger to all those who hate it.
Tales of Legendia: It was a fine game. Had it's ups and downs. Still a lot better than Symphonia. And Senel is kickass, despite his main character cliches.
Digimon World 1, 2, and 3: All required a fuckton of level grinding. 2 the most, 1 the least. Each were enjoyable in their own right. 1 pissed me off though, since my Digimon never hit ultimate level (until my friend got me HerculesKabutarimon) and they kept dying. It's super fun to have a shit filled town though.
Suikoden IV: It's easy to imagine why people get bored with the game, since it doesn't have a wow and eyecandy factor of other games. But the Suikoden series as a whole wasn't about that. Best appreciated if you're one of the fan core I guess. And probably the best main character exile I've seen thus far.
Legaia 2 Duel Saga. Great game, underwhelming reviews. First time I maxed a level on a character. (That pirate chick <3)
Sky Gunner: Fun game. Good characters. Too bad it was so freaking short. Copain is the man.
Also adding in
Street Fighter EX3: It just wowed me as a kid
Mario Sunshine: I really don't know why people dislike it.
Does Sonic Unleashed qualify? Reaction to the game (especially from the fans, which is to be expected - it's a Sonic game released after Sonic & Knuckles, after all) was mixed, but I enjoyed both the daytime and nighttime levels - they added variety to the game and kept it from becoming tedious, and if the game was entirely daytime levels, it wouldn't justify the normal price for the game since the game would be so short.
If the controls weren't totally hammy (both day and night) I'd say that Sonic Unleashed is a pretty decent, underrated title.
Yeah Sonic Unleashed ain't that bad. The Werehog stages aren't a big deal either, though the speed stages were nicely done.
This. I cannot understand how people love 7, and hate 8. 8 was amazing. The junction system was not that difficult. It was funny as hell, beautiful, witty, heart wrenching, heart warming, and soul destroying at the same time.
I played 7 after 8,9 and 10. I heard all sorts of incredible rumors about 7 on how it was better way better than the other episodes. They even made a spinoff movie with AC
That is my take on 7
I think it is a great game. An overrated title but a good one nevertheless. A title where there are emotional and memorable moments. Something current game lacks (FPS overrated genre)
Cons:
There are too many useless fights and story parts. WHat was even the point of cross dressing for a whole hour.
The story lacks maturity. The Shinra villains are one sided corporate douche. This game is 100 percent greenpeace who should not be using medcine, boats, clothes, industrial food, showers if they think mother earth is that great.
The characters lack development. Aerith talked 70 percent of the time about nature earth and she obviously had a thing for Cloud. This is boring ! It lacks substance. You wonder what Vincent, Yuffie and Caith sith are here for. There are too many characters to develop them all properly. You are asked to redo the 80 hours long game to see waht would happen if you pick this character.
Every FF9 characters had a better development and they really all have their personal moments on a regular basis.
The part at Red Canyon was boring like hell. Another hour to tell you that technology sucks and mother earth is good. Give me a break !
BTw, Sephiroth's motivation was not as interesting as other villains. He keeps bragging about his mom. I think Mihawk or Akuma of street fighter are much more interesting antagonist.
The middle of the story is boring like hell. Thank Aeris death made me go on.
You seem to be visiting a lot of places for the sake of it (this should be the side quest not the main storyline)
When Red said "Forget about Midagar ! We gotta worry about the planet !" I was like about the innocent people of Midgar who did not torture you. I lol hard because it was so one dimensional. It looked as one dimensional as the Avatar plot when the comical stereotype army guy said "That is how you take care of the coakroaches ! Now let's wipe out this civilization so I can get back to base and eat raw meat." The lifestream rambling and nature seemed too perfect in my taste just like the Naavis culture that was flawless.
Barret was the one that said the right thing. He admitted that he caused a lot of harm to the innocent people of Midagar. I liked that.
Pros
The battle system of Materia is simple and pretty good.
The music is good. I personally did not like the colors and the most of the places except for some.
The last arc where Clouds remembers his past is the moment where the story gets more interesting. The characters are finally getting more developed and everyone. This is where the story really flows well.
Aeris death was very well made. I loved the theme. It was really emotional. She should have been developed more if we wanted to care for her more. I was happy that her death was very relevant to get you hype for the final fight.
Sephiroth's introduction was cool when he showed how freaking strong and they created the hype of his strenght. Turning bad after reading a book was not the coolest motivation for such a cool character. I guess Sarah Palin and Sephiroth would make a great pairing.
I liked how Cloud improved as a leader overall in the story.
The best part of the game was the Northern crater the final arc of the game. Descending the crater was beyond real. The tension was rising when you were going deeper to fight Sephiroth. It was amazing. FF7 ad children lacked this epic built up for a real climax.
The Sephiroth final battle was epic. The music was godly and he gave a **** of a time to me. I never understood the point of his attack when he uses the planets of the solar system. Yes, Cloud's speech before the fight was awesome.
The last confrontation between Cloud and Sephiroth in his mind if I am not mistaken was incredible. I love one on one confrontation. The way the battle was shot was awesome. They zoom on each fighters face was aweome before final assault. This scene itself kills the whole advent children movie. Pure simplicity and incredibely climatic.
Overrall, FF7 is an amazing game despite its overhype. The middle is boring but a few great moments made up for it. I loved Return of the Jedi despite the Ewoks and the boring middle.
8 was not perfect (especially the junction system) but the plot was much more interesting and ambiguous. Squall is actually pretty interesting despite his emo design. Squall is nowhere as aweful as Anakin adult of the prequels (Why was he not on the roster of the worst star wars character, F you IGN) or Sasuliet who really pisses me beyone the stratosphere. Squall was actually evolving during the game which makes him more than one dimensional.
The basic plot of a FF is to save the world but there needs to be someting deeper or symbolic. Squall smiling at the end was symbolic and beautiful. You realize that all these moments and diffictul fights built up just for a smile. Something so simple but yet so meaningful because I did not see that one coming. FF7 was like Yahoo we saved the world and the planet is not screwed. Have the characters learned something deeper ? I guess not.
8 ending was confusing for the first five minutes of the FMV sequence but all was well when Rinoa saved Squall.
I love to compare FF8 to Terminator 1 and 2. I love to compare FF7 to Avatar.
However, 8 should have developed the other main characters more in detail like 9 did.
9 was the perfect storyline. Every characters were fleshed and had all their moments regularly. All the characters came to a conclusion.
@SSM:
Final Fantasy X-2 : I wasn't attracted to the characters or their outfits either. Outside of FFIX, and FFVI, my favorite FF.
Then what did you love about the game?
I liked Spherebreak despite the slight leaning curve.
If the controls weren't totally hammy (both day and night) I'd say that Sonic Unleashed is a pretty decent, underrated title.
The hate on the game was just criminal.
