"It Gets Better, I Promise": The games you like that everyone hates thread

[Baegal]

Are you the minority when it comes to loving a certain game?
I find this happens all the time and I want to know if I'm the only one or not.

For me, I loved and always will love Sonic R.
I'd 100% it in an hour, the sounds were cheap, and the music was unfitting for a sonic game, but I love it so much :Y
It just makes me really happy!

So! Do you guys have any games that you are alone in loving?

[Neweegee]

Sonic DX, and Sonic '06.

As much as I don't like '06's story, those gem shoes were awesome(so many fun, ridiculous glitches!).

As for DX, Sonic & Knuckles' parts, being able to spin dash and jump *any* where you want to is very cool to me(I still play it's trials mode to this day).

[Kriven]

Sonic R and Sonic DX are awesome games :p

I really like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but I guess it's not a "real" fighting game.

[redblueyellow]

I'm with you with Sonic R, I played it a lot as a kid, so the nostalgia factor always gets to me.

Also, Monsters Inc. Scream Arena and Kirby Air Ride were two games that I enjoyed quite a bit.

Not sure if I'm exactly the minority when it comes to Air Ride, but it was a really addicting game to play (especially City Trial mode). I remember spending hours playing the free run with my friend, just chasing after each other to see who could get the hydra first.

hmmm

I like Yoshi's Story a lot really

It is clearly flawed and not as good as YI by any means but It doesn't deserve a lot of the hate

don't tell me it's easy if you don't go for all the melons and hearts

I really like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but I guess it's not a "real" fighting game.

This makes no sense. It is a fighting game, so why it wouldn't be "real"?

I like Blood Omen 2. Even I being a huge Legacy of Kain fan. I know, it looks nothing like a LoK game, but it is a good game overall.

The DS Zeldas. For some reason most people don't seem to like PH and ST all that much, but to be honest they're 2 of my favourite DS games. They're not perfect but I really enjoyed playing them, especially Spirit Tracks.

I'd also say Puggsy, but that's more of a "nobody's played it" than "nobody likes it". Everybody I know that has played it loves it, so I guess it doesn't count.

[Kriven]

Spirit Tracks is awesome.

This makes no sense. It is a fighting game, so why it wouldn't be "real"?

Allegedly since it's easy to use specials and combos, it doesn't count as a "real" fighting game.

Let's see... I happen to be fond of Star Fox Adventures but people mostly hate it because its not an on-rail shooter.

I think Yoshi's Island DS is okay. Most people think it's terrible.

Oh and I absolutely love Super Mario Sunshine! I have so much joy over that game.

[soulcaliburfan]

The Custom Robo Gamecube game. I just replayed through it recently and had so much fun getting into all of the details on weaponry and whatnot.

[TomGuycott]

Gotcha Force. An action game by Capcom where kids command tiny robots from outer space to combat the EVIL tiny robots from outer space. The "voice acting" is laughably bad, but the core gameplay is where the game shines. There are hundreds of Borgs, and rarer ones can only e obtained via getting two, three or even four parts.

And if you ever give up trying to obtain ever alternate version of every Borg ( each gets an alternate color, a silver plated, gold, diamond and a shadow version, but the last three make the borgs look really flat), there's a bug to fill your box with almost ANY Borg, including the Promo exclusive evil main character Borg and the final boss!

[NICKtendo DS]

New Super Mario Bros. 2
I admit its flaws and it's just 2 DLC packs that I replay:
#6: Gold Classics Pack, but nostalgia and superior level design from the good old days is not easy to fk up. However, I find it annoying to start at the auto-scrolling Coin Heaven in stage 2. Mandatory slow-downs annoy me. And the alternate route for the 3rd stage that could've easily been level 1 from NSMB1 instead of 2, but apparently a stage that's not even a year old is nostalgic, I don't know.
#9: Mystery Adventures Pack. I have to soldier through the mediocre first stage and boring second stage, but the third one makes it worth the effort. Somehow the factory stage does it right on so many levels. Going through it again and again hardly grows old.

Nevertheless, while everyone is praising 3DLand, I'd favor NSMB2 over that any day.

All of my IRL friends hated the No More Heroes games, and I for the life of me can not figure out why. Maybe it's just because I'm blinded by my love for them?

[ThomasSpeedrunner]

Sonic '06. By an avalanche. it's pretty obvious why :U

Spoiler

Alright, I'll spill. I like the game's ideas. Sonic '06 had AMAZING ideas (Mephiles was definitely one of them, hands down), but I'll say this: The way they were executed is horrible, which is why everyone hates it. Mostly because the game was rushed to completion, but I like it regardless.

Red Steel. Yeah it was buggy as hell and the campaign wasn't the best, but my friends and I would spend the entire night playing Multiplayer, which had brilliant maps, extremely fun gameplay, and was just a blast to play with friends.
