Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: A lot of people seem to have developed a hate for this game. Honestly my only complaints about it are that the Swimming could be better and Fuck that escort mission.

The only thing I disliked was the Stamina Meter and the escort mission. The only Zelda game I do dislike is Wind Waker, at which I seem to be the only one.

I liked Skyward Sword.  I hated the motion controls and Fi is more obnoxious than Navi, but I still really enjoyed the game.
I would rather there not be motion controls, but at least they committed to it, unlike Twilight Princess which just had motion controls tacked on at the end.  I agree with you on Fi as well, Navi is annoying, but Fi takes it to a whole new level.  I would probably put Skyward Sword somewhere in the middle of my top Zelda games list.

On the topic of Zelda, Zelda II and Four Swords Adventures are kind of the outcasts in the series, but I enjoyed both games, especially Zelda II. 

The games I mentioned above are not really games people hate though; the game that I love that people hate is Hydlide.  I actually enjoyed the game enough to where I played and finished it twice.
Currently Playing: Dark Souls: Remastered (Switch)

I also like Duke Nukem Forever. Not a masterpiece by any means but it was adequate.
Also, I really like Super Mario Sunshine.

I loved Zelda II, I played through it multiple times. Back when their were only 2 Zelda games, that's what we had. So because of that, I didn't have a problem that it was different. And there weren't a whole lot of "big adventure" games out there on the NES back then, so I ate it up.

It seems to me that Sunshine is one of the those games that divides people into two distinct categories: those who like it and those who hate it. Its the mario game that greatly divides the fans of the series, and besides I believe that its a awesome experience and is my most favorite game!

Generally though, it is not really whole games I love that everyone else hates, it is more often just sections of different games. Like, I like the Water Temple in Ocarina, everyone else hates it; I like the card battle system in Chain of Memories, everyone else hates it; I like Marble Zone in Sonic 1, everyone else hates it, etc.

Almost everyone who hates this game has no idea what they're talking about since they've never even played it! It has N64 graphics! The controls are horrible! You die too fast! Sheesh. These kids have no idea what a bad game is. :P

I beat this game from start to finish. If it wasn't for that game I wouldn't even like third person shooters at all.
Thought you liked n64 graphics lol.

These! But I LOVE the game nonetheless.

You can actually make out the graphics in the game, unlike most of the N64's cataract-o-vision graphics.

I don't think I'd go as far as to say I "love" this game, but I enjoyed Alien Colonial Marines despite tons of bad reviews.

I agree. It wasn't a good game, but it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. As a fan of the Aliens franchise, I admit I got some enjoyment out it.

I would have to say I rather enjoyed the Final Fantasy XIII series. I'm only partially through Lightning Returns, but I've enjoyed what I've played of it, and XIII-2 had its moments.

I actually really like XIII itself. In fact, I would say its my 3rd favorite in the main franchise (VII, X, XIII). That's right. I'm putting XIII above FF III(VI) and FFIX.

Pit Fighter!  I love the feel of the arcade version, I think it just gets a bad rap because of the home versions.  It was too bad about the emulation on the PS2 version, that just made it worse.

BUBSY for the SNES and GENESIS is my go to game. Everyone trashes on the whole series because of the dreaded Bubsy 3D. But the original for SNES could probably sit in my Top 5 SNES games.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Falsebound Kingdom.  It's not talked about much but most every review on this game is horrible, but I played through multiple times growing up and wanna play through it again just haven't found a copy yet.

I like Karate Kid on the NES. Sure it's an LJN game. Sure the Angry Video Game Nerd did a video about it. It's probably a due to a ton of nostalgia, but I still pop it in from time to time.
