games that are loved that you think are bad?

Gears of War and God of War.

Played both at other's houses and I seriously could not see why they would have bought it for anything other than CHAINSAW MACHINE GUN ERMAGAWD or UBER BUFF SPARTAN GUY DECAPITATION.

That and Final Fantasy, Mario Kart, Skyrim, GTA, Call of Duty. Oh and all the Mario Parties after 2. (4 was decent though)

Gears had a great atmosphere. The whole game gives you a "heavy" feeling, with the huge characters, camera, and somewhat clunky controls. The visuals are great, and the gameplay is exciting. It may seem like "another shooter" but it really is a unique experience. Take out the chainsaw, excessive gore and whatever else (though most of it fits well in the atmosphere), and it'd still be wildly popular. Easily my favorite new franchise this gen (or last gen?).

My picks:

Bethesda games for what's been said - large, shallow worlds.

GTA 3 and beyond - I preferred the 2D games. Also, multiplayer.

Path of Exile - not terrible, but vastly overrated game, and its fans won't ever stop rambling about its superiority to D3.
