Games everyone hates but you love?

[abe]

I enjoyed FF X-2. Not so much for the story ... or lack there of, but I enjoyed the job class system ... I mean "dress sphere" system. It's not my favorite FF by any means (that goes to FF IV) but I think I enjoyed FF X-2 more than most. I liked searching for new jobs and trying to find all the rare ones.

Not sure if you could say I "love" it, but I enjoyed it. Also, its the only one I could think of off the top of my head.

Same here. I really enjoyed FF X-2, and I'm not sure why so many people seem to have a problem with it. I realize that it's not at all hated universally, but I still think it gets more criticism than it deserves (from my experience).

Sonic Shuffle

I know it was Sega's and Hudson's attempt to recapture Mario Party success. There is something fun about the cards in my opinion. I enjoyed how the VMUs were used.

I know the game is a total mess. It is my guilty pleasure.

A game i really love and have some memories with was Brawl Brothers for the SNES, most of the reviews said the game was crap, but I love it!

I have a soft spot for Quest 64 / Holy Magic Century on the N64. Story/characters & presentation couldn't be more bland but I always thought that especially the spirit/level up system was enjoyable and rather unique!

I also really love the SNES port of Doom. Frame rate and resolution-wise it's the pits but for me the awesome rendition of the classic MIDI music almost makes up for it.

Almost forgot Sword Of Vermilion. This one has a lot of troubles and is super uninspired as well, yet I somehow played through this several times.

I blame nostalgia...

Ephemeral Fantasia

I can't believe someone else said this game. This game immediately comes to my mind when I see this topic of conversation pop up. There are others as well but this one is always the first one. People even hated this game in Japan. I don't understand it. This game is awesome.

Knack on ps4! It's a solid brawler/platformer with tons of replay value and collectibles.

This thread introduced me to Ephemeral Fantasia. Wikipedia says it has a plot similar to Majora's Mask, so I'm definitely going to check it out.

As for the hated games I like, something something Siren Drakengard. I'm a bit of a broken record in that regard. I also have fond memories of the N64 port of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. A lot of people dismissed it as a broken port of a janky Tomb Raider clone. They were kind of right, but I really enjoyed the level design and variety. And the bugs made it more fun.

A lot of people seem to not like Taz-Mania on the SNES, but I really like it in my opinion.

It may be short, but it is unique and is worth at least one play.

I'm glad someone liked it, because I really wanted to. I honestly wanted to like it. I was super excited to play it when I saw it at E3, and then when I played it it was a major disappointment to me  Part of me is glad that there was hope for it after all haha.

I personally really enjoy Ace Combat: Infinity. It does suck that there's not really a story, but the multiplayer is super fun and for being a free title I don't find it to be that offensive.
