What I like that others dislike:
the Star Wars prequels: I can understand why people dislike the movies. They certainly have their flaws, but in my oppinion they aren't that bad and there are many movies that are worse than them.
Something that I can't really like anymore that others probably do:
Hary Potter both the movies and books. While the story is certainly interesting, there are quite a few parts of the story that, in my opinion, rely on everyone being just stupid or incompetent so that the kids have to save the day.

Things I Hate That People Seem To Like:
-Any manga or anime that involves highschoolers that isn't either Beelzebub, Prison School, Blue Exorcist or JoJo's Bizzare Adventure. All the rest of it is mainly uselessly shite harem-senpai crap that I haven't gotten in to due to pure disgust for them.
-Vampires, just in general. The fuck is the appeal for these pathetic bastards? They thrive off of the night being the only time they can come around even though that essentially makes them rather uselessly easy to kill. And I have yet to see a moment where they weren't all the same Eastern-European accented pretentious dark-haired white person that pulls that serial killer Blink-Teleport crap. Yes I enjoyed BloodRayne well enough and yes I love Vampires The Masquerade and all that stuff, but otherwise the only other vampires I can think of that are actually in any way entertaining for me are freaking Dio from JoJo along with Alucard and Seras from Helsing. And even then Alucard is some sort of bullshit "Special Vampire" as far as I could understand with his Millions of Shadow Stands crap and JoJo vampires are completely irrelevant at this point.
-The Arkham Games, don't get me wrong they're well made games in their own right. Well the first three were. Okay the peak was Arkham City. I never got around to finishing it though- Okay so yeah they're all fine games. But they are most definitely not the kinds of games I can sit through for very long. Mainly because I also kind of sort of hate Batman himself. There's only so long that the childlike wonder of hearing Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill(For I think 3 out of the 4 games) can last for me till I get so bored that I just can't even motivate my hands to do something with it.
-TellTale Games, more specifically the hype behind them, I swear if there was ever a Pretentiousness Event Horizon then TellTale would have been the one moron to nosedive right through it. Most of their games are pretty alright I suppose I only ever played Monkey Island, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us and Game of Thrones and while I will say that I fairly enjoyed these games plenty. What isn't very alright is the fact that people go NUTS over these games. I don't know if it's because of the Let's Play Bait surrounding them but I can sure as hell say that I wasn't going to label these all as Game of The Year contenders. Maybe one of them but otherwise calm the hell down and let the games just prove themselves each with a second season first off.
Things I Like That People Seem To Hate:
-I swear any time I even remotely HINT at the existence of games about people with super powers and the like everyone starts throwing a pissfit. Not specifically here at The Escapist forums but about everywhere else it's just ridiculous. Mention inFAMOUS, [PROTOTYPE], Gravity Rush, Starhawk or anything involving Raiden from Metal Gear and holy crap do people just lose it. Which is ironic considering these are sometimes also my friends who enjoyed the Arkham games so screw em, I'll still keep playing my pseudo-superhero games.
-Cartoony visuals, even if they are the bane of some people who REALLY want their realistic graphics. I for one could care less and would prefer that people tried stylizing more than they did try to immerse. Because I can kind of guarantee that the grit is gonna make the game look atrocious later down the line. Even if you want a realistic LOOKING game, at least try to make sure the game is still good to look at down the line. And for the love of God make the people NOT look like potatoes with facial features.
Well that's a quite-not-really-so-depressing list for how it's weighed.
