What games do you like/dislike that others tend to dislike/like? Why?

[AxlSt00pid]

What games do you like/love that (almost) everyone tends to dislike/hate? What games do you hate/dislike that (almost) everyone tends to like/love? And (of course) why?

Also remember to respect the other's opinions, and please don't be too salty about that.

I will begin myself (I will put them in a Spoiler because I might write too much...)

​

Games that I like that others tend to dislike:

Spoiler

-Cubic Ninja (3DS)

I won't say too much about his game, everyone hates this game and only want it for the hax, but I have it and I really enjoy this game. I think it's a decent puzzle game.
​

-Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube)

Almost everyone I know hates this game. "Oh, what a nice horrible janitor simulator Nin10doh!!!". Well, I absolutely love this game, the music and the atmosphere are incredible (maybe is because I live on an island and I love "Summer-ish" weather), but some secret levels are very hard/unfair. Also: I don't have any nostalgia about this game (I started playing it 2 years ago, already 100%'ed it)
​

-Final Fantasy VIII (PSOne)

I don't know why so many people hate this game (I can understand the hate to XIII, but to this one?), I 100%'ed this game and FFVII, and I think they are both awesome (and FFIX too)
​

-Sonic Heroes (Multiplatform)

Maybe it's the nostalgia, but I really like this sonic game. Sure, It's not like Sonic Adventure 2 and it doesn't feel like a Sonic title at all, but it holds a special place on my dark and broken heart.​

And now, the games that I don't like a bit, but others tend to like:

Spoiler

-Monster Hunter Generations (3DS)

(Someone will kill me for this...) Well, I really know why everyone loves this game: "New and returning maps? New and returning monsters? Special abilities? Count me in!" I said to myself when I saw the trailer of Monster Hunter X, but when I played Generations (the western release of MHX) I felt really dissapointed, clunky menus, slow-paced action, very easy difficulty and not-so-great ability navigation (at least for me, remember: this is MY opinion).
I played every single Monster Hunter game to date (including th Felyne Village ones and Monster Hunter Stories). And this game marks the fall of one great franchise to me (my favourite MH game will always be MHFU, but with how different MH4U felt and the dissapointment this game gave me, I won't ever play any MH again, sadly... but I discovered Shin Megami Tensei, which it's now holding MH's place).
​

-Splatoon (2.0 update and up) (Wii U)

(I admit that this is due to some special problem) I used to like this game, it's a very original 3rd person shooter with unique gameplay mechanics, but everything went down the road since August of 2015, the month that the 2.0 update came out.
That update added a lot of new things, and even augmented the maximum level that users could get to. But not everithing was great, that update led to some users (myself included) to disconnect to every single one of the battles, leading the game 99% unplayable (I even tried to use the LAN adapter with no luck, please Splatoon 2/Splatoon Switch, don't have this problem...)​

Love Pokémon, don't have many dislikes

Pokemon is very, very popular. I think you missed the point of this thread.

Me, I hate online multiplayer. In any game.

Same here, I only play GTAOnline, and in that case I play singleplayer Online xD

 

[Depravo]

Ha, I sometimes play FFXIV. I used to play Guild Wars 2 and many years ago I used to play RuneScape. But only the parts of these games you can solo.

 

[Arubaro]

I hate ATLUS's games (Persona and Shin Megami Tensei sagas the most)
People seems to love them though

 

[SnakeOil992]

I hate Monster Hunter games in general because of a lack of story. Also, I hate Felynes and their voices even If I love cats.
Also, Pokemon. Every game is the same to me and I just don't like the mechanics. Yes, KILL ME.

Can't think of something unpopular that I like, but I'm sure there's a lot to say here, actually.

Well, I just discovered the Shin Megami Tensei series and I'm pretty happy about it

 

[KomasterXX]

I love the Megaman Starforce Series, but I remember that the core majority of the fan base of the battle network series disliked it. Never got into GTA, and doubt that I can. Video games for me as a kid were a distraction from reality, the GTA series was an emulation of reality...sort of.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Like what other people hate (probably): J-RPGs with recycled save the world stories
Hate what other people like: Minecraft

 

[Deleted-379826]

I think I'd go with Bubsy, no not Bubsy 3D but Bubsy. I haven't really seen any love for Bubsy, but I sure think it's an awesome platformer!

Me, I hate online multiplayer. In any game.

Why? I know there might be kids or trolls using microphone or cheaters, it's still fun.

I play games BECAUSE it doesn't involve other people.

 

[RaMon90]

I hate games like minecraft, wow and lol

Aaah. Well, I personally dislike the Zelda/Mario line, but I know it's very probable that a lot of people like it

 

[DrkBeam]

I don't like Zelda at all, even breath of the wild it's a meh for me, it's the character I don't like, it looks like a goblin. Lucas and ness I dislike a lot because they look too normal, I wish they could be banished from smash bros, that might be the reason it is not appealing for me undertalle. I really like resident evil 6 as well as the 5, and I think dead space 3 it's one of the best games for the Xbox 360.

[rikumax25!]

I love destiny, but it has gotten some hate

 

[soulfreak211]

Undertale. And not because it was overhyped to hell and back but because it wasn't that interesting to me. The concept was neat and the characters stand out but the story didn't really stand out too much for me. Mix that with the battle system that gets annoying at certain parts.

Spoiler

Looking at you Sans.

But what I also didn't like, was that nothing about Frisk was talked about. In a game that is heavily based on story, I need to be able to relate or feel for the main character as well as the other characters but with Frisk you're never really told anything unless you go genocide in which case the main character becomes less likable for murdering tons of innocent monsters for no reason other than morbid curiosity. Overall, I think the game is decent but it's not on the top of my awesome games to replay later list. (Especially since the game actively tells you that you're ruining Frisk's happy ending if you choose to replay or because

Spoiler

You have to sell your soul
