Oo, this is a long list for me :P

The first would be Aliens VS Predator (The 2010 one) I found it pretty fun, especially considering you can play as an alien, a predator or a marine, but it got a lot of hate :(
Also, with the exception of the Ride/Shred games I enjoyed all of the Tony Hawk games - general consensus suggests that the series took a major dive around the release of Underground 2 and the 7th-gen titles were unenjoyable, but I think they all offered a relatively similar arcadey fun experience, all with an awesome soundtrack to boot :D
Star Fox Assault also comes to mind, to my knowledge the Gamecube Starfox games weren't met with much praise, but I found it to be really fun :D

For me it there are two major examples of games I love but everybody hates. One for X360 "Ninety Nine Nights" and for PS3 "LAIR", both I recognize are not great games but well they just seem to appeal to me, N3 basically was the first major X360 release I waited for months after 360's release and even when I admit it has several flaws it mixes some RPG elements with a Dinasty Warrios gamplay that basically made me fall in love, that mix plus the availability to play different sides of story with different characters, some well developed (others not) just made the deal for me, even though most people hates it by the flaws: the bad lip sync, cheesy story and voice acting, repetitive gameplay and bland visuals.

For LAIR on PS3 it happened something similar, it is the game for which I bought the PS3, and with the prestige of Factor 5 it was a no brainer, while everybody complains about the motion dragon flight controls I found them ok , some times frustrating, but so the Resident Evil early games controls were too, plus I played the game once the patch to allow stick control and improvement on motion was released. Anyways the ability to ride a Dragon, have an on air fight with another Dragon, being able to pull a bull from the horns and throw it to a road full of soldiers and spit fire is a win for me plus the great production values of the game and 1080p.

I am sure there are others on older consoles (perhaps KI Gold on N64) but these are my more significant cases where hate is too much while I love the games. :)

This reminds me. Star Fox Adventures is a great Zelda game. :P A lot of people hated it, but I still have a soft spot for that game.

One of my favorite games ever is Cubivore, and I remember that one having really mixed reviews, ranging between hatred and meh. For something more modern, how about Chibi-Robo Photo Finder on the 3DS eShop? Once I realized I could just use Google Images for the stupid picture mechanic, the game itself became a blast.

I just found this topic, so I figured I'd post a couple of games that immediately come to mind. And yes, I really enjoyed Stella Deus and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good SRPG.

Ephemeral Fantasia: This was my first game that I got with my PS2. An intriguing plot, lush graphics and an unlikely cast of heroes come together in a non-linear game that might turn off people that are used to linear RPGs. The battle system has elements of SaGa Frontier and Chrono Trigger. Also, there is a Guitar Freaks mini-game that is highly addictive. People don't realize that there was stuff before Guitar Hero came to prominence.

Tsugunai, Atonement: Another over looked PS2 RPG that received a lot of negative feedback. The graphics are a bit dated, but the soundtrack by Mitsuda is totally worth a listen. The battles are tough and the story is a bit predictable, but if you finish it, you will feel on top of the world due to some of the most brutal difficulty ever seen in the genre.
