What games do you think receive a lot of undeserved negative feedback from the majority of gamers?
Here are my picks:
- Halo (Despite the fact I'm only a fan of the first Halo)
Only played them at friends houses and never liked it so I can't comment.
- Final Fantasy (Not a big fan of the series outside of VI, VII, and IV)
I loved 7,8,9. The story and charaters in 10 were brilliant but I didn't the linearity. 12 was a bit better but 13 is to linear and very boring.
- Call of Duty 4 & Modern Warfare 2 (Despite my disdain towards Modern Warfare 2, the hatred it receives is ridiculous)
Call of duty 4 was good and it had very easy online play. Sadly COD MW2 was just really COD 4 version 2.0 and the single player sucked.
Resident evil 4 was brilliant. RE5 could have been better
Only played in friends and didn't like.
never played
I hate 2d fighters
- Grand Theft Auto IV (Overrated by critics, underrated by the gaming community)
the game was great but it took a big step back from what san andreas was which is the best GTA game ever made. Thats why there was fan backlash
never even heard of it
It was a good game but it had a lot of problems |
The problems with most of them was they were not the best sequels to game francise we all grew to love. Thats why there was backlash. Take Resident Evil 5. Everyone wanted the series to go back to its survival horror roots because thats what made them love the series. If thats what got people buying the game in the first and they take it away then of course theres going to be some backlash

By backlash, I mean people who don't provide legitimate reasons to why they bash the game. Most people hate these games because they either popular or they just don't get it.
As for GTAIV, it took a few step backwards but it improved in several areas and took a different direction. It offered a more immerssive sandbox enviroment, with a far grittier theme, opposed to the tongue in cheek satire of the previous three games. The shooting was much more refined, so was the mission balance and controls. I wish they brought back the RPG character developtment of San Andreas though. San Andreas is my favorite in the series, IV being the second for offering the best screenplay.
