are there any game that doesn't have a sequel or so, that is divisive amongst fans? :)

FF XIII - i know why a lot of fans hate, criticize it while some love it. the gameplay about X button mashing, you can't defeat bosses if you just do that. and some are fixed in FF XIII-2 but I know several fans didn't bought it, then SE change again and fix things on LR, but lesser sales. up to now, i haven't finished LR. :)

Zelda games are also divisive, now i'm thinking what is the single game without any sequels or prequels that is divisive. :)

I remember Legend of Dragoon on the PS1 being pretty divisive back in the day.  Some folks really enjoyed it, ranking it up there with some of the best RPGs on the PS1, and fans of the game are still clamoring for a sequel / reboot of the franchise to this day.  Others thought the game was generic and repetitive, and felt it was just an attempt to cash in on the popularity of RPGs set off by FFVII in the late 90s.

I'm one of those fans.  Thought Dragoon was a "Final Fantasy killer".  Bought it.  Was wowed by the graphics and the cgi. Was disgusted by the story and the translation.  Was meh about the battle system.  Was appalled by having to switch discs to revisit other areas (at a time where " What disc are you on? " was kind of a badge of honor.

The ending music was awesome, though.  I still hum it.

I'm in the same camp, I picked up a used copy of the game for dirt cheap several years after release to play on my PS2.  Thought the graphics were pretty good for PS1 era, but once I actually started playing it immediately I knew I wasn't going to like it.  Tried to stick with it but gave up before I even got to the 2nd disc.

My sister on the other hand played it all the way through and enjoyed it, so to each their own as the old saying goes.
