Games that make you go "How could anyone hate this?"

The Game of Thrones RPG. I don't care about the "bad combat"(only a slower version of dragon age), the "not best voice acting"(didn't care), The "bad graphic"(overrated). I wanted a novel/story game and I'll be damned if it wasn't good. I've never really seen the show or read the books, but after that game I'm intrigued. I knew it wasn't going to be the latest triple A game, but the score it got was horrible.

My epitome of video game meaning. Fun meter into overdrive, skill meter into hyperdrive and destruction into FTL drive. I can't find faults except for the menus but who fucking cares !
TAKEDOWNS GALORE ! WHOOOOOOO !
Since you mentioned that, I have to say Katamari... any of them.
It's very approachable, adorable, compelling, fun, and funny. It's just a great concept matched with a very intuitive control scheme.
Those are the two reasons I got a ps2.
I started playing the Fallout series in 1998. All of them. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are the games I was dreaming about while playing the first two. I loved them. As far as glitches, the Fallout series have been plagued with glitches for as long as I can remember.Alhazred said:
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
It's like a supercar mashed up and turned into a CD. I can't really describe it properly, but it's got the same sense of wonder and amazement you get when you see something like a big ol' Diablo rolling by. I'm not much of a car buff, but I absolutely love the feeling supercars give you. Richard Hammond said it best; a good supercar should make you feel like a 10 year old.
Sure, it's not a very realistic racing game, but that's the reason I can't see why anyone would hate it. It means everyone can pick it up and have a go in a Murcielago or whatever. You don't need to be a racing sim nerd to have fun with it.

Seems like everyone is pointing out modern games... which often have a large base of critics and fans respectively...
How about some classic series?
Who here has ever heard someone hating on Super Mario Bros. Deluxe? Or the original SEGA sonic side-scrollers?
How about Ocarina of Time, or maybe even good ol' Croc?
I've yet to meet anyone familiar with those titles, that says they hated them. Sure, might not be their type of game, but they still enjoyed playing them!
I mean seriously... how can anyone hate Super Mario Bros. Deluxe?

You mean the removal of the tactical overview in favor of spammy action gameplay? Hated it. Making ME twitchier made it better, making DA twitchier made it worse.xemnahort said:
As an empathetic person I generally see both sides of a debate, so I generally get why people hate my favorite games (I get why some people are okay with DA2, it doesn't stop the 8 hour cash grab from pissing me off, though).
I'd say the Arkham games and Mount and Blade: Warband. AA and AC had their flaws, sure, but.. it was being in a friggin' Batman cartoon. M&B, ugly as sin, but.. massive medieval open world RPG version of Pirates! with fps jousting, swordplay and archery.. amazing.
I haven't heard anyone say they absolutely hated Persona 4. Hell, the only criticism I can give P4 is its significant amount of pants-on-head retarded plot moments (but mostly because the characters often just suddenly seem to get hit with retardation whenever the main plot jumps into frame). Other than that it's really an awesome game.The Wykydtron said:
I still prefer P3's soundtrack by a mile though. Now that I think about it, I can't really pick between P3 and P4 in general. P3's quality overall seems to fluctuate a lot yet has regular moments of brilliance, whereas P4's quality's a lot more balanced, but rarely seems to reach a significant peak like P3 does.
Seriously though. These three were just unbelievable:
I don't think the game was necessaries hated, but it seems quite a few disliked City of Heroes when it really deserved more credit. A lot of people seem to only judge it based on about 3 years ago without considering how it's improved recently before NCSoft decided to shut it down and sit on the IP. Considering it's likely NCSoft will retreat mostly into the Korean Market in future, it's a damn shame the franchise will never be seen again.
Haha, rookie mistake, my apologies. My first encounter with Squall Leonhart (I do know his name! Not sure about the spelling, though...) was, in fact, in Kingdom Hearts. I only played Final Fantasy VIII for the first time recently. So, yeah, he was introduced to me as Leon, so whenever I think of him, that's the first name that pops into my head. I usually do a better job of correcting myself, though.s69-5 said:
Flower, I mean how can you hate that? It's like serenity in game forum. I know someone likely don't like it though.

It's the same with me, I do think DA2 is severely flawed, but when it comes down to it, the combat, IMO, is more engaging, the Skill Trees are pretty diverse and are easier. And it has Merrill and Varric, the only 2 characters worth a damn.
The Witcher 2
This game is near perfect, the story is well written and incredibly interesting. Gameplay is challenging without being brutal and very very fun. Voice acting is, for the most part, really good. and it looks gorgeous as well

No, I never asked that. I tend to say, it works for me, but I understand why others hate it.
I've never said, "This game is awesome. How can anyone hate this?" I'm mature enough to understand what works for me will not work for everyone.

Oh, man. One of the best moments in gaming. The game is so atmospheric and magical. And Venice is perfect. I love everything about it. And I particularity like the way Ubisoft made water in Venice. It's completely unrealistic but it looks so pretty I can't stop looking at it.PieBrotherTB said:
