Games that you like that almost everyone else does not.

What games do you like that aren't very well appreciated by your cohorts and/or critics?

I like The Conduit. A LOT. It's a fun time with great, customizable controls which make Dual-Analog feel archaic, a deceptively simple story with hidden secrets linking to real-world conspiracy and pretty kickass multiplayer (when the hackers aren't around). The Metacritic score was 69, but I blame this on a few really stupid reviews that failed to acknowledge some of the game's high points.

Another game I thouroughly enjoyed that many did not is Fable 2. Is it superior to the first? Hell no! But I still thoroughly enjoyed the game. Every other day, I see a thread or a post bashing this title in some way. So I get to count it in this thread.

I'd go with Fable 2. I ignored some of the hype and found it enjoyable.

Also Viva Pinata. Just because it's a kids game doesn't make it poor to the 18 year old kid who plays it.

Well I rather liked Halo 3.....

Although that really goes without saying, I also loved the King Kong game despite it being a movie game it was still pretty damn good, also I only ever saw other people play it but the game Tenchu Z looked quite nice and I wouldn't mind one day giving that game a whirl.
Also while I had issues with Fable 2 on a number of levels I still enjoyed it enough to play it through to the end.

Halo 3
and Fable 2 I never really saw what the hate was about. I found them fun and enjoyable. And that's what really matters to me

Fable 2... need i say more?

Battlefield Bad Company. It's not hated by the gamers, just webcomic artists and Yahtzee. No one famous mentioned this game except the Slackerz.

Oblivion, a lot of people hate it and so do my friends. I ask myself why? It is one of my favorite games with a lot of re-play value.

The controls of that game a quite horrible. It is one of the games i have not been able to play because the controls just did not allow it.

OT- Guitar Hero World Tour, Many people said that it had the worst set list in a GH game.
We know thats all subjective, but i found it to be the best set list in a GH or rock band game (minus DLC)

This surely cannot be search bar approved!

From looking at the threads on here I'm gonna go ahead and say RE5 or Battlefield Bad Company.

 

[archvile93]

The Halo series apparently. I still can't figure out why it got such good reviews when I'm the only one who seems to not hate it.

The All Holy Search Bar is so finicky that I don't bother with the thing.

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

SW: The Force Unleashed... WHAT?! I like force-throwing things in random directions.

 

[CrysisMcGee]

Hmmm...every game I love got a high rating. Everybody I talk too enjoys them, or at least doesn't hate them.

So whatever game that got high a high rating, that people didn't like. Take your pick. PC games only, that is.

Maybe redline? I had a lot of fun with it.

• Halo 3 (According to the amount of negative threads it spawns I'm one of the few)
  Dyansty Warriors
  Viva Piñata (Including TIP)

It's like hating the Halo games. Seems to be the popular thing...

I love Oblivion.

 

[Onichanbura]

Gungrave, and Gungrave overdose.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Kingdom Hearts 2. Yes, there are thousands of weirdo Japanese people and little kids who love it, but most of my friends wouldn't be caught dead playing KH2. And the ones that tried it, hated it. I actually didn't mind it at all. Yeah it's different, but different =/= bad.
