Well, XIII for the PS2 felt really clunky and didn't explain the controls, but I still love it for its story and art-style.

Bollocks! People are more than capable of deciding if something is bad, but that does not mean it can't be fun.Cassita said:
By the same token just because a game is AAA doesn't dictate that it's not going to bore the shite out of you.
Dark Cloud, the game play was fail as was the story
But it had [HEADING=1]DRAN[/HEADING]
A flying giant Goat Bunny
Dran: "Who are you?"

I understand what you're saying perfectly. You're stating that people cannot love something if it's bad. But maybe, what with the thread title, people can appreciate something regardless of it's quality. It has a charm or some redeeming feature that makes it easy to love.Cassita said:
You must have played some games that were well made but left you cold? It's the same principle.
I will go for an obscure title and say SaGa frontier (the first one)
Dont know if I could say I loved it, but I do remember playing it like forever. Basically from march of 98 till October 98 which for me playing one game, thats a long damned time.
I would give a nod to the aformentioned Too human. The combat was kind of zen like and soothing in its repetitiveness. That game is such a tragedy though. How the hell can you take Norse mythology and put it into a futuristic sci fi context and still overwhelm that level of awesome with unadulterated suck?

Bad games? Army Men 3D. Such a bad game, terrible voice acting, and when I installed it a few months ago there were levels that I couldn't get past when I first played that I breeze through now. But I loved it.
Ahhh... I see where you're coming from...Cassita said:
But my point still stands.
Going by a few of my recent purchases, both Rise of the Argonauts and NIER got pretty bad reviews. And they are far from AAA titles. But while the general consensus is these games are 'bad' I've gotten a great deal of pleasure out of them. But, coming back to your point, I totally agree, I don't see the games as 'bad' at all.
But I think the deal with this thread is games that have no depth, are programmed poorly or are just generally considered to be shit by all and sundry, but there is always someone who will find something about a game.
Except the first Iron Man game. That was shocking.
(OK, I promise to drop the issue now, don't even know why I'm going on about it.)
Final Fantasy X-2
Okay, yes. Everything you've heard about the game is correct. The story is crap, the ATB is awful, the super pretty princess magical girl dress up system is pointless and they somehow managed to make Blitzball even more boring.
I should probably be placed on the Group-W bench along with the Mother killers and Father rapers for enjoying it but God help me I really really do like that game.
I think it has something to do with the fact that it uses the Final Fantasy Job Class system.
That's a game mechanic I'll never get tired of.
