They say this game sucks... but I LOVE IT!

Operation flash point dragon rising, so much fun and multi player that requires thinking for once....

Deadly Premonition. The greatest game ever created.

ninja'd. I love "Deadly premonition" too. The characters and the story made up for the clunky controls and bad graphics. In fact, I find those flaws to be endearing as well.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows may be a borderline-broken, buggy and repetitive mess, but it's all the better for it. Combat is actually fun, swinging still feels really good and the camera bugs actually make it feel more dynamic. That game is great, and for all its bugs it hasn't once crashed or frozen on me, so it's not completely worthless.

Also, it lets you call down tactical nukes on one-hit-kill symbiotes and you tell me one other game with as much overkill that isn't the Force Unleashed (holding Stormtroopers in the path of the Death Star's shots).

One for me would be Halo Wars, which I played to death for about a year or more.

I also loved Bioshock 2 but haven't gotten around to replaying it yet, unless u count the downloadable mini-campaign.

You know I enjoyed playing legendary it was a unique FPS and I also enjoyed prototype just for the fact that you kick helicopters and send them crashing down you get a giant sword to your arm it's awesomeness rolled up into one person I loved it and am defiantly getting the second game

The Matrix: Path of Neo was a rip-off, buggy pile of wank, but I just couldn't stop playing it for about three years! I must have completed it at least ten times on all the difficulty levels, and replayed certain levels (like the endless-Smiths level, or the hand-to-hand combat training) countless times more. I'm still not sure what made it so appealing!

Brutal Legend, I guess.

TLoZ: Ocarina of Time - I don't see why everyone hated it so much (I've heard it's came pretty high up in several "Worst Games Of All Time" lists). Surely *somebody* else liked it...?

Wait, what? Everyone HATED Ocarina of Time? I think you have it backwards. Just look at GameFAQs (and Game Rankings, its own rating system).

I can't really say cause a lot of games I like aren't really popular or main stream enough to get attention. Kinda wish more people played them so it would be easy to find later on

kane & lynch(1 & 2):come on,this was action packed AWESOMENESS!

 

[Mana Fiend]

I don't know if it's a totally 'they said it sucks' game, but Final Fantasy XIII. I thought it was great, and had no trouble keeping track of the storyline. Then again, I love stories set after a major event, rather than during it. Post-apocalypse, as it were - only this was on a more personal scale.

 

[ChocoFace]

Clive Barker's Jericho. Which really is as bad as they tell you. The gameplay is linear to the max, the graphics are all reddish brown, unique enemy types are few and far between, the story is pure nonsense, and the acting doesn't help either. But I loved every campy minute of it.

I kinda liked it too. Not the loving kind of like, though.
Who cares about the story if you have a minigun and you have demons coming in waves?

Also wow, i just scrolled up and there are 4 people sharing this opinion on this page alone.
That's pretty interesting.

EDIT:
Just found out to my surprise that people didn't like Metro 2033. That is probably my favourite first-person shooter to date. It has everything from stealth to large battles with some very compelling gameplay, including survival (gas mask) and horror (the library) elements.

OT: "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle" for Gamecube got fairly lukewarm reviews, but I guess the nostalgia makes me love it

Final Fantasy 8 (i know the story blows but the gameplay and the DRAWING SYSTEM made me happy and made me want to keep playing)

 

[Konflux]

Almost everyone has bashed on Brink.. the first time i started it it lagged like hell and i didn enjoy it at all. went back a few hours later, ended up playing it for about 4-5 hours straight, i fucking love the game!

 

[Tsunimo]

Legendary, the only people I know who have heard of it, hated it. I thought it was very well done, and could be great with some touch-up work.

 

[Nickompoop]

Mafia II. Sure the story sucks the big hairy one, but driving around creating mayhem is ridiculously fun.

 

[Geek_DR]

WarRock.

Yeah, a server-lagging, hacker-infected, spaghetti-coded piece of turd made into sheer awesome by simply being excellent fun mechanically. Every bit of pain that comes with playing WarRock is worth it.

Do a barrel roll!

You just reminded me of an old (pretty terrible) fave. My roommate and I in second year would play Vietcong one on one snipers. Most intense vs. multi-player evar. Also really liked the single player, but it did pretty poorly critically and financially. LOTS of bugs
