Games everyone hates but you love?

[NickAwesome]

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

Agreed, really nice old school classic gameplay but too much hate from press and gamers.

Yeah I love Knack too.  Gets so much hate and it's just such a fun game as long as you aren't expecting a revolutionary platformer. 



For me, I always loved The Grinch for the original playstation.  Maybe I was just really lacking in having better games available when I was a kid but I thought this was a great platformer with really cool gadgets.  I got stuck on 99% so I never got to play the secret mini game that unlocks at 100%.  Still bitter about that.

Sports games! I will always give them a shot. Baseball and hockey are my favorites. Basketball I don't often like the mechanics. I'm picky about golf ones. Wrestling is like a weird fighting game.

Collectors are the only ones that hate sports games. 

I dig them.  I have NBA 2K17 preordered.  I buy a PGA Tour (formally known as Tiger Woods) every few years.  I used to love the NCAA Football games, but that doesn't happen anymore.  I miss those.

I think I pretty much always hated them before I started collecting, because I don't like sports, I don't like sports games. Unless you consider "extreme" sports to count because I like some racing games, and I used to enjoy the skateboarding games.

I guess I need to rephrase.  The only people that hate sports games are collectors and people that don't like sports. 

Do you really hate them or do you just not like sports games?  I don't like 100+ hour RPGs, but I don't hate them.  It's just not my style.

Well, before I started to really collect I guess I didn't hate them I just ignored them because they weren't appealing to me. Now, for the past so many years I've become completely annoyed with them, because they're so abundant. Every time you spot a stack of games in the wild and go check it out, it's sports games.

I don't know that I'd feel the same if every stack of games were nothing but RPGs. Sure, that would get old, but at least it's something that holds some interest with me. I don't mind so much when I find some games that I already have and it's not sports. But it drives me crazy to see sports, sports, sports every time. It's almost like finding garbage, because you know that nobody, not even sports fans, care about all of these old sports games. It's just taking up space on the planet.

See?  I told you it was just collectors.

i hate going to goodwill and seeing a stack of games...
...
...all sports.

give me a break! D;

Yeah sports games get bad rep most of the time, they aren't all bad though ofc but it's really hit or miss with mainstream sports. Fight Night Round 3 is brutal, as well as the UFC: Undisputed line - in particular Undisputed 3.

Extreme sports stuff though, that's a whole different world. The EA Sports "Big" line is amazeballs, and I miss them.

Silent Hill 4. I genuinely have absolutely no idea why that game gets so much hate. Sure it feels a little bit different from SH1 and 2 (though I find SH3 has a similar feel and people love that one) but it's got awesome intrigue and in my opinion it's by far the scariest of the series. It's the only game in the series I've felt genuinely frightened playing.
(Well okay there were like one or two parts in SH2 but they were just me hearing noises that I expected to be monsters I couldn't see but just turned out to be ambient sounds.)

Those goddamn ghosts that won't die... And the Doubleheads. The DOUBLEHEADS. TWIN VICTIMS. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM. WHO DESIGNED THEM AND WHY.

I prefer SH2 a little more as a game but I prefer SH4 as a horror experience.

For real, just look at the opening. LOOK AT IT.

I rest my case.

[kashell]

Well said. Silent Hill 4 is my favorite in the series. It's so different and so damn creepy.

[telly]

I love Silent Hill 4 as well, but I think it gets some hate just because of the drastic change in gameplay and controls. The game does have some issues; it was made by non-core members of Team Silent who were working on SH3 at around the same time. So it does lack a little polish in the story, graphics, etc. but it still works really well as a SH game.

My biggest issue with the game was having to escort Eileen all over the place, she wouldn't follow you and would get stuck or damaged and look ridiculous during cutscenes with all that "blood" on her.

a good amount of sonic games past adventure 2 lmao

Deadly Towers. I really do enjoy playing it and actually finished it back in the day

I quite like this one too.  Never got around to finishing it, but if you can get used to the controls and give it a chance it is a fun game.
