A game you LOVE from a genre you DISLIKE and a game you HATE from a genre you LIKE,

[Circusfreak]

For me it's
1.) I love "Multiwinia" and "Threadspace: hyperbol" even though I don't like most RTS's
They both try very different approaches to the genre and they remove and replace most of the things i hate about most rts's
2.) I hated "Torchlight" even though i LOVE dungeon crawlers.
it felt mindless and grindy. the interface is crap, so are the controls, there are barley any customization and, well just watch Yahzee's review of it.

If you wonder what the point of this thread is, its to raise awareness of exceptions in genres and help people get into a wider variety of genres they don't really get.

 

[Circusfreak]

really? no one?

 

[Mcupobob]

I hate turn based, but I liked golden sun. I love RTS but I loathed Empire Earth 3.

 

[chronicfc]

I "Love", or at least "loved" Pokemon, even though I hate JRPGs. (Pokemon is a JRPG right?)

I hate "Two Worlds", despite loving WRPGs. Two Worlds may be the only game to give me a headache just by looking at it for a few minutes.

 

[StBishop]

I loved NBA Live 1997 even though I like sports games the least.

I hated Oblivion even though I love RPGs, specifically western RPGs.

 

[targren]

1) Borderlands. I can't usually stand FPS.

2) I loved JRPGs but hated FF7 and FF X-2.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Oh! I'll go.

I hate RTS games because I find them boring. The reason behind this is actually because of the one RTS game that I love (okay, two). Myth: The Fallen Lords (and it's sequel Soulblighter) was the first RTS game I ever played, and I loved it. When I found out that other RTS game didn't play the same way--limited units, hit animation, keeping the same characters through battle--I was like, "Well, this is boring. Moving on."

As for a game I hate in a genre I love, I don't really focus on genres. So I guess I'll go with a series instead. Out of all the numbered Final Fantasy games, I hate XII. I loved, or at least liked, all the other ones (XIII and X-2 included), but I couldn't stand XII. They only reason I still have it is because it completes the collection I have--and no, there are no such games and XI and XIV. No there's not! Shut up! I'm not listening, la la la la!

 

[krazykidd]

I really liked resident evil 4 but i despise 3rd person shooters.

I really hated legend of dragoon , but i love jrpgs

EDIT : i also hated FFX-2

 

[vault69]

I hate "Two Worlds", despite loving WRPGs. Two Worlds may be the only game to give me a headache just by looking at it for a few minutes.

I was going to post this.

I love Civilization V even though I hate turn-based strategy games.
I hated Final Fantasy X-2 even though I love JRPGs.

Edit: I think I got edit-ninja'd

 

[latiasracer]

1.) Hate JRPGS, Love Pokemon
2.) I Love Fps of all types (S.t.a.l.k.e.r, Serious sam, Operation Flashpoint, MW2) But i just didn't find TF2 Fun, kinda just seemed pointless? Or maybe it just lacked helicopters. Probably the latter.

 

[Catfood220]

I really dislike first person shooters, but I really loved Bulletstorm.

I really like RPG's but for some reason I have never liked Final Fantasy games.

 

[razor343]

I love Fifa Street 2 even though I despise sports games.
I hate the FF series even though I love RPG's. (RPG's in general, don't go into CRPG's and JRPG's)

 

[jthm419]

Starcraft 2, not very good at RTS's but love it...

Hydlide, love RPG's or zelda-like games but this game and all of it's butt-thrusting stupidity made me rage that I spent money on it.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

i generally dislike rts's, but i loved/love empire earth, i could play that game forever.

besides that most things i love i love for a reason...the only one that would even classify is i love rpg's but i dislike fallout 3, and even then i've come to terms with it enough to not "hate" it

 

[Kevlar Eater]

I love Trine but hate puzzle games.

I like FPS games, but I hate Team Fortress 2.

 

[Lord Legion]

I hate racing games... ... ...

I love RTS's, but I hated Rise of Nations

 

[theonecookie]

Hate fighting games loved Blazblue

love JRPGs hated FFXIV (their is a limit to how much crap i can put up with even from this genre)

other than that I find it very hard to hate games i usualy find something I like

 

[archvile93]

I hate JRPGs, but can still enjoy pokemon.

I usually love Zelda games, but absolutely hated the first and second (I played them recently). I don't know how that series got off the ground with such bad first entries. They didn't get good until the third one IMO. I also usually love FPS, but hated Bioshock. That killed any interest I might have had in Infinite.

 

[Hipsy_Gypsy]

I really liked Bioshock 2 despite hating (ie. I can't play them) First Person Shooters.

I tend to love adventure/RPGs and I thought Fable 3 was pretty rubbish/boring. Don't get me wrong, I did like it but I probably won't be playing much more of it, especially the more I think of all the faults. As a matter of fact, this guy has the right idea:

Every point he makes is spot on, y'have to admit like.
