Ys III: Wanderers from Ys

I never got all the hate for it. It's fun, and the soundtrack is absolutely Ys worthy. So what if it's a side-scroller? Get over it, people!

I played the SNES version first. UGH!

My issue with it is more that's is super short, and for a side scroller isn't even all that great. It's not an awful game by any means, but just a little disappointing for the series (same thing with Zelda II).

Far Cry 2 had the potential to be great but alas, it was trash.

Grrrrr!

Alundra 2 and Chrono Cross were some really fantastic games for their time.

While I don't really care for Chrono Cross, I don't get why Alundra 2 is so hated.
