Bad Games You Love

[Andres Cyanni Halden]

Alright, I'm curious - what game do you, as a classy, Escapist-reading gamer, love, despite knowing it possesses numerous flaws that let reviewers eviscerate it? If its something specific, include what you think makes it worth playing. Personally, mine is Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Its pretty awful, but the script is so solid I can deal with the frustrating combat, controls, repeated one-liners, and basically every other aspect of the game.

Big Rigs Trucking game or whatever.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Kayne and Lynch: Dead Men.

The controls were so fucking awful, but I just love it.

Alone in the Dark: Inferno (PS3) I know its flawed with a bad script and shitty controls, but the innovation is top notch. Plus I am a lover of the original PC games from '91 that arguably invented the genre of Survival Horror. Also the original had Cthulhu and deep ones in it so it wins by default.


I would also say Deadly Premonition...but I argue that it is actually NOT a bad game by major empirical standards but it gets a lot of unfair hate

I'm going to ninja some people some here and say Dynasty Warriors.

 

[The Great Zegrool]

Big Rigs Trucking game or whatever.

THAT IS NOT A BAD GAME.

It's a true masterpiece, actually attaining perfection. It literally has no flaws.

But, more on topic: I think that if someone likes a game, then that game is "good" for them. You can't like a bad game, because in your opinion, that is a good game.

If you get what I'm saying.

Kayne and Lynch: Dead Men.

But if you go backwards you never stop accelerating.

I LOVED the game Legendary but nobody I have spoken to seems to like it or know what it is.

Exactly, the beauty of that mechanic drew a tear to my eye.

Yahtzee needs to review that.

OT: Ricochet from Valve.

For all it's bugs, I enjoyed Neverwinter Nights 2. Actually, I just enjoyed the Mask of the Betrayer expansion. It really took the idea of dark fantasy and ran with it.

 

[RoyalSorceress]

The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the Fifth Sun, I know it's based on a cartoon and has all the problems of a cartoon tie-in, but I liked the cartoon too much to not play it.

Roadkill on the PS2.
I don't even think it was reviewed.

Turns out it wasn't rated too badly:

Too Human. I genuinely enjoy it.

It's entirely possible to go billions of miles per hour that way. Eventually the screen turns into a slideshow of grey-black-grey-black-grey-black, and it is glorious.

I haven't finished playing it all the way through yet, but I think Clive Barkers Jericho is pretty fun..
