Do you ever find yourself liking a game for the reason everyone else hates it?

[Gladion]

It goes the other way as well. I hate MGS for its story, which I find pompous and soap-opera-ish. I just cannot take it serious, and not in a good way.

You're seriously not the only one who does not like MGS. Though I don't see what it has in common with a soap opera.

OT: I don't hate anything just because it's popular or vice versa. But if you're not asking "because" but "even though", I'd probably say Killer7 (which I like) or Modern Warfare 2 (which was very boring except for the finale).

Whenever that happens to me, I get stubborn about it. "This game is most definitely not smarter than I am! I'm beating this thing..."

 

[Czech Woods]

you are not alone. i love farmville. talking about NOT beig with a majority in here that is.

Yes, because liking the most played game in the world surely puts you in the minority...

read my statement again, carefully. i said IN HERE. in here anyone even admitting to liking FV is asking for hate

 

[LeonLethality]

I like Final Fantasy games for being turn based which is generally hated here on these forums...

Lots of people bashed on Borderlands for it's weak central narrative, but I really didn't mind. It was nice to just be able to romp around Pandora without the constant worry of having to save it/my home/my family/my dog etc. I could devote my time to other things.

Like shooting. And...er...More shooting...

I also love GTAIV for the new physics and "realistic" gameplay, I can't wait till the ps3 DLC is released

The sailing in Wind Waker. I found exploring the Great Sea to be a real nice change of pace, from the treasure hunting to finding and exploring new islands, I thought it was really well done.

Well I love when games eather take all of your items away, or forces you to use stealth. Can't think of a good example tho.

I enjoyed Godzilla unleashed because it had slower combat and no really big combos. I am just not good at fighting games like street fighter were you have really long combos to pull out.

 

[AHWaffle]

I love Halo 3

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Example: GTA IV is my favorite GTA game because it's more realistic. I am apparently the only one. Sometimes I feel like there's something wrong with me.

My favorite would be Vice City but I do like GTA IV, a lot (3 playthroughs).
I happen to love the first hour of Heavy Rain.
And I do like Kane & Lynch, mostly for its great characters and awesome story.

 

[Evilmonkeysniper0182]

I seem to be one of the few people that liked Kane and Lynch. It had flaws, but I really enjoyed it apart from the last missions in that bombed out city - the end. With that said I still have hopes for the second.

I liked GTA4 and I still mess around in it from time to time. Glad the DLC is coming to the PS3 too.

Kayne and lynch was just awful sorry lol

 

[Plurralbles]

Yes. Grand Theft Auto series.

I can imgine that a lot of people will say Final Fantasy though I like it.

 

[Riobux]

Kane And Lynch: Dead Men all the way. Things like the mass recoil was nice since it felt more realistic than games where you shoot with a desert eagle with no recoil at all (close your eyes and run your finger along the FPS section of your local game-shop and randomly stop, there's a very high chance it's a game that does that. There's also a very high chance that if it doesn't do this, it's either not got desert eagles or it's Kane And Lynch: Dead Men). Multi-player was also very good personally.

 

[omega_peaches]

I like Army of 2 for the emphasis on Co-Op

 

[Icedshot]

Monster hunter (all of them) because it dumps you in an open world, with barely any explanation and says "Heres a giant monster, now own its ass"
the fights can last for ageeees, and are very, very hard sometimes lol, makes it awesome for me

 

[mikemart]

i got a good one, since im a teenager any game that isn't COD:MW2 is "gay"

So Plants and Zombies , no shooting in it, so its gay
Civilization 4, To slow to play, its gay
Team Fortress 2 OR ANYTHING MADE BY VALVE, yea probably gay by them

i hate being a teenager..


I like these games because there something differint from the War shooter, something most people i know cant handle..

 

[Kollega]

The most drastic example? Borderlands with it's Claptrap. There could also be others which i don't remember.

 

[Ironboot]

I actually like the simplified gameplay and the graphics in the latest Prince of Persia...
