Inspired by the "Great games you just don't 'get'" thread, let's hear your gaming guilty pleasures. What game(s) do you love that was/were poorly received by the general public? I'm going to go with Metroid: Other M. I've read all the reasons people hate the game, and I just can't make myself feel the same way. Sure, the soap opera-style story was a lot different of a style than previous games in the series, but I really did enjoy it, and the gameplay was great. It's also probably the single best-looking Wii game I've ever seen. Maybe it's just because I'm a huge Metroid fanboy, and I read the manga very shortly before playing Other M, and the two are undoubtedly related to an extent. pedrovay2003 has a new favorite as of 01:23 on May 13, 2013 |

Twat McTwatterson posted:Twilight Princess. Best Zelda game easily. I agree with you completely -- I still think TP is the best Zelda. I'm curious -- Which do you prefer, GameCube or Wii?

Der-Wreck posted:Mine would be Ignition Factor for the SNES. It's a firefighting game with lovely controls and odd gameplay. But you get to fight fires and rescue people in weird places! There's a level in a dinosaur museum and I think another at a robot factory. Such an odd game but I just love it for firefighting and some of its quirks are endearing. HURRY UP! For some reason, this description really reminds me of Burning Rangers on the SEGA Saturn. I haven't played it, but quirky firefighting is definitely what drives that game.

You know what? I'm going to throw another one up here: Calling for the Wii. I'm a huge horror fan, and there was just something about Calling. I think it was all the creepy-as-poo poo messages the game would send to your console's Message Board as you advanced.

Kimmalah posted:I didn't realize there was so much rage about the cel shading thing. I didn't, either, honestly. I actually really like cel shading in most games. I love how you can take a cel-shaded game and port it down to weaker hardware, and yet it still looks great.

Mr. Mallory posted:I had a lot of fun with WET. I thought the whole grindhouse feel was really well done and the soundtrack was great. Controls were a bit clunky but not enough to really hinder gameplay enjoyment. I was pretty excited to hear they were doing a sequel until it ended up getting cancelled. I've only gotten to play the demo of Wet, but I really liked it. I'm not a 3D brawler person, either; I think the fact that it oozed style is what pulled me into it. I had no idea there was going to be a sequel.
