I thought I'd love Super Mario Galaxy 2. It was praised far and wide as not only the perfection of the previous game's mechanics, but as a perfection of 3D platforming as a whole. Game of the generation, blah blah blah. I didn't necessarily hate the game itself immediately upon playing it, but I didn't have all that much fun playing it, certainly no where near as much as the first game, and left extremely disappointed, and consider it the least fun I've ever had with a 3D Mario platformer. This and the fact that Nintendo choose to make a second, watered down version of Galaxy 1 instead of a brand new 3D Mario game makes me really hate it. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I stand by it.

I didn't really expect to like Tales of Phantasia, but that was before I really knew what RPGs were. It quickly became my favorite game and got me addicted to the genre. I tend not to think I'm going to hate a game I play because why would I get it then? ToP was an exception because it was when I was little, and my mom got it for me because she saw me eyeing the pretty box art. Don't always count out a game your parents get you on a whim, kids, it might just introduce you to the love of your gaming life. Don't knock something until you try it or at least have a good idea of what it's like. The thought that I even doubted that game for a second breaks my heart.
