Forums - Gaming Discussion - Critically panned games that you love?

Excellent topic! I have so many! I am with you with Alone in the Dark. I played the Inferno version on the PS3 and loved it. Very underrated game. Now into the nitty gritty.

Risen 1 and 2!

 

Damnation(I am not kidding. I really like this game and completed the campaign three times. I have the platinum)

 

Haze(LOL) Yes the voice acting was attrocious and the graphics were so-so but the co-op campaign was really fun.

 

Gothic 4 Arcania

 

Shellshock 2:Blood Trails--A fun but dumb zombie romp.

 

Deadly Premonition--I have played this game to completion 3 times--On Xbox, PS3 Korean version and PS3 Director's cut. God I love this game


Venetica--I just love RPGs. I give them a lot of leniency with regards to story and acting as long as you can level up.

 

That is all for now as I am starting to get embarrassed.

The Saboteur was awesome. I don't believe that the Yakuza games were panned though....

Yakuza has a pretty strong cult following as far as I remember.

I up the ante: what was the worst rated game you played to the finish?

Can anyone top "Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust"? I lost a bet. ;)

Resident Evil 6 - I happened to like most of the things that were added to this game. Sure there were unncessary parts and QTEs every now and then, but I ended up getting a good 100 hours out of it.

I loathed that game with a passion xD

My list was only current gen games. I'll add some more through various generations.

Sports Champions (PS3 Move title.)
Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury(MohammedBadir list these, like the games.)
Chocobo Dungeon 2(listed by PullusPardus)
Azure Dreams(haven't ever heard anything bad from fans, only has a 72 on Gamerankings.)
Torneko the Last Hope
Shinobi 3DS(I rated it a 6.25/10 because my score isn't inflated and I think 6 is good.)
Beyond the Beyond(the timed attack system is stupid, but the game itself is decent aside from that.)
Driver
Driver Parallel Lines(better than the GTA games on the same console.)
Mega Man X6(people don't like this one for some reason. After X and X4 it's my favorite in the series.)
Parasite Eve 2(just because they went for the more popular Resident Evil gameplay style, fans of the original despise the game. It's a really good game. Stop hatin' yo.)
Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter. (People hating on this game because of its difficulty suck at video games. It's an RPG and mass grinding is not required.)
Castlevania 64
Dirge of Cerberus Final Fantasy 7(best third person shooter on the PS2 in my opinion and not because I'm a Final Fantasy fan. Game controls well, and fun to play.)
Final Fantasy 10-2
Grandia Xtreme(if you hear someone talking bad about this game, it's more than likely because the story sucks and the worst characters in the series. Gameplay is good though.)
Resident Evil Outbreak
Resident Evil Outbreak 2(only load times are bad in these games. The best Resident Evil games in my opinion though.)
Scarface the World is Yours(to this day, it's still the best GTA clone. It's better than all the GTA games.)
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne(Persona fans need to play this game that's better than P3 and P4.)
Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2(these too.)
Unit 13
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest(good game. better than alot of non beginner RPGs.)
Sword of Vermillion.
Strider NES(best in the series imo.)
Yo! Noid.
DynoWarz

edit:koupomogli:100% agree with Castlevania 64.Great game.



Too Human. It's a very flawed game, one which overall feels unfinished since it's missing whole cinematics, reuses the same dialogue repeatedly, and even re-uses unique characters who fight with you (i.e. there are random clones of people).

Project Sylpheed (360) Not sure if this counts because it's not a broken game, but it's a 9/10 game IMO, that just got bad reviews because it's 4 hours long.

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.



What is with all the hate? Don't read GamrReview Articles. Contact me to ADD games to the Database
