A game that everyone loves but you hate

Hmm nowadays Halo doesn't really seem to have a larger hate "community" than other games, basiclly every game around, there's always going to be several people to hate on it.

Maybe my information is outdated. I definitely remember "Halo player" being a generic insult a few years ago.

I've never seemed to run into this "insult", maybe just coincidence though, especially seeing how I used to co-own halo2rocks.com :P

And while every game will be hated by a few people, not every game has a large and vocal community of people who seem to spend every waking moment ranting on the internet (like I'm doing now) and listing petty or imagined flaws in the game.

You hating on Halo? (Don't know your feelings on the games?) Or just ranting? XD

Indeed, one of the things that bothered me about OoT is that it was released at about the same time as FF7, received similar critical acclaim, was commercially very successful and, like FF7, had a large fanbase who considered it the "best game evar". While FF7 receives hate for its zealous fanbase (some haters seem to think that the actions of a fanbase can be used to criticise the game itself), OoT's fanbase seems to get away with it. If it wasn't for this, I'd probably just see the game as mediocre and forgettable, or just plain annoying, rather than worthy of hate.

What is it you don't like about Ocerina of Time if i may ask?  I'm not in any way a Nintendo fan, but I've certainly enjoyed OoT, Majora's Mask & The Wind Waker in recent years.

True, the personal actions and/or opinions of a fanbase really should not be used as  valid "cristicism" of a game.

bolded.
