Things that get no (very little) hate

[Stasisesque]

Okaaaay. Bioshock, for example, I am enthralled by the story - both as told by the diaries, and the gameplay. The gameplay itself I very much enjoy, very basic idea made complex if you desire it; not to mention the moral decisions (no, the pay off was not as good as it could have been, but the game did a fair job of making you think about your actions). The AI was predictable, but certainly not frustrating, and the voice acting was superb - fitted both the genre and the era.

I also enjoy basic (non-realistic) FPSs, big fan of simulation games (becauseI'magirl), enjoy MMOs for their complex lore which you can choose to skip over if you want, you don't need to know any of it, it's just fun.

I simply do not enjoy RPGs, ME claimed to be an RPG of action and consequence, but it still, as all RPGs had a plot you were following - it just gave the illusion of choice. They play, to me, the way Choose Your Own Adventure books do. You might as well just read the pages in chronological order, because you're never going to get your own ending, you're only ever getting the ending they've chosen - but they'll let you pretend you wrote it.

okay, fair enough i suppose.

personally i didn't care for bioshock, it wasn't my kind of game, but i can see its merits.

and for your point on rpg's, have you tried bethesda rpgs? they sound more to your taking, since you dont like linear story/gameplay it seems. they rather take the opposite of the more linear approach of bioware. personally i prefer the latter over the former, but i guess i see why you hate mass effect and bioware now.

Yes, and I do not enjoy them. Again, I simply do not enjoy RPGs.

Have you seen anyone who genuinely dislikes Ocarina of Time? Not someone who's just trolling but honestly disliked the thing fairly? They're few and far between.

*Raises Hand*

That would be me sir, I'm very sorry sir, I just don't like zelda in general sir, actally I'm not big on nintendo in general sir....What's that sir? Yes sir, I'm ready for my flogging sir.

Meh its arguable since there is a general dislike and the game just falls into the category of "don't want" and I'm talking about people who hate OoT specifically but I guess this counts. Anyways, *gets out cat o' nine tails* let the beating begin.

I've actually never heard anyone say "I hate The Rolling Stones." I know that there are probably a lot of people who hate them, but I've never met one before.

 

[archvile93]

Half Life 2, Bioshock, and Team Fortress 2. They're not universally liked but almost. I say almost because I hate two of them, and the other one is above average.

 

[Julianking93]

WHY!?!?!?!

mass effect is the greatest game ever in the history of everything! how can you not love mass effect?

.... are you serious? Well, fine if you want my answer; I didn't like it because it was boring. I played 3 hours of it and it was just way too text driven. I don't mind lots of dialog but only when it's important, engaging or fun to listen to. Mass Effect bored me to tears.

If you don't mind me asking, what didn't you like about it? And do you mean the first game or both? I personally thought the first was spectacularly average, while the second one was fairly good, but not amazing.

I'm talking about the first game. I recently bought the second... but took it back for several reasons >>

And I didn't like really anything about it. Granted, I only played a couple of hours of it, but I almost always stick with games for a while to form a good opinion of them. Mass Effect was so boring to me that I turned it off after just a few hours.

I hated the combat, the dialog was boring and while the only thing that drew me in were the graphics, everything else was subpar. Hell, I had more fun with Alpha Protocol than that.

Katamari Damacy.

I have never met a person who has played this game and didn't love the crap out of it.

 

[Spacelord]

I think that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of those bands that pretty much everyone considers at least 'okay'.

 

[Nouw]

Old Spice Guy, Daft Punk, Gorillaz and House.

For very good reason however.

I feel like Apple doesn't get enough hate for their Macs.

Are you fucking shitting me? On most forums I go to, simply namedropping "Apple" derails any given thread beyond repair. If I post a screenshot, I have to make sure that it's only of what I am focusing on because if there's even a tiny sliver that implies I took it on a Mac, I can kiss the discussion goodbye and watch it burn to the ground.

The show Dexter, haven't heard a single person hate on that yet.

I thought it became boring once he had a kid, it went from being a show about a serial killer to a show about an average parent with an extremely annoying wife. Everything before that was awesome though.

NEWSFLASH: they killed her off and stuck him back into the single life, with a few perks (good and bad.)

Thanks for those spoilers there, I haven't had a chance to see season 4 yet, was waiting for it to come out on DVD.

OT: Well everything gets a bit of hate here and there. Valve is generally immune from hate. Not sure why as I only like one of there games, suppose Steam is pretty good though.

*Ahem*

No decent human being can say with a straight face they can hate such a face.

LOOK INTO IT'S EYES!

*pouts*

I have tried for over 10 minutes and I can honestly say I can't hate it...
unless it's a evil cat in disguise

Metallica....

Edit: b4 i get in trouble for a low content post, I think they are crap but seem to stand alone on it.

Really? Go on any Metal forum and you'll find plenty of haters. In fact I'd say they are right up there as being one of the most hated metal bands in elitist metalhead circles along with In Flames, Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. Something to do with supposedly "selling out" though I don't really see it personally.

Metallica....

Balderdash, Metallica get a ridiculous amount of hate.

I've never seen Streetlight Manifesto get any hate. I guess that's sort of warranted though.

 

[necromanzer52]

Bacon
I'm pretty sure bacon is one of the least hated things on this planet.

But there are those who hate it...Me for example.

The animated mess called Quest for Camelot. OK, the nostalgia critic didn't like it, it has a score of 52 on imdb, yet so many people still love this movie. Why? It is a completely unlikable movie to me. But that is just me, people are free to like a movie, but for a movie that has 52 on imdb, I see little hate, and that bothers me.

As for games: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, Kirby, Sonic, Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, Halo, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, God of War, Fable, Warcraft, etc. Almost every game is loved by people and hated by people as well.

Metallica....

Edit: b4 i get in trouble for a low content post, I think they are crap but seem to stand alone on it.

I don't even like early Metallica. James Hetfield's vocals are too whiny.

Toy Story 3.

Got like 2 bad reviews, and both were from shock critics who were only doing it for the attention.

TS3 is grossly overrated and it should not have been nominated for best picture, considering Up didn't get that honor.

If Anime was a religion; it's followers would destroy nations at a whim(not that religions don't already).

Anime today gets ruthlessly panned by haters and fans alike for their flat one-note characters and archetypes, generic plots, recycling tropes to the point of predictability, excess fanservice, and pandering to a niche fanbase and isolating smaller, more "casual" audiences. Anime is widely made fun of for having limited animation, heavy amounts of recycling, and very poor frame rates.

Justin Bieber gets next to no hate.

He gets a lot of hate among...well, pretty much everyone who isn't his target demographic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_cGo0q7krk&feature=related

He gets more hate than any popular pop artist. I was being sarcastic.
