A game you love that ERA dislikes or is lukewarm on
- Thread starter Staf
- Start date
I would KILL for a Sonic 06 remaster.
To be honest I'd settle just for a backwards compatibility update on Xbox.
I genuinely loved that shark game from last year. Maneater? I think I'm literally the only person who put it on my top 10 list on this forum. It was exactly the right length of time and had exactly the right amount of content to feel fleshed out without overstaying its welcome.
Runescape (mainly OSRS) is one of the best RPGs out there, but the community is pretty antithetical to Era.
I recommend anybody complete the F2P RS3 quests.

so far, DnD Dark Alliance. having more fun with it than a lot of other mainstream coop games (like Gears)
I really love the Sonic Adventure games and any thread on Era is filled with people telling me why it sucks. So I'm gonna say those games.
Outer Worlds and Greedfall. I think they both fit the lukewarm description here as they aren't quite hated, people enjoyed them, but they have many critics who always need to bring up how they didn't like them. It seems they both suffered a bit from backlash to the backlash, gaining positive reception as they filled voids by Bethesda and Bioware last generation, but then disappointing people when they weren't quite up to those standards. I really enjoyed them from what they are.
Elex is a bit similar but it seems those here who've actually played it knew what they were getting into and liked it.
My joke answer is Witcher 3.

Probably Destiny for me. The gunplay and soundtrack alone made up for the shallowness of story in my opinion. Was it grindy? Yes. Was it frustrating? Yes. But was it a helluva a lotta fun to play with friends? Yes.
Sonic had a better initial transition to 3D than Mario. Don't @ me
Fallout 4, CP2077, and Kingdom Come Deliverance are all games that I consider fantastic despite their design shortcomings and/or problematic developers/publishers.
Edit: I love Dark Souls 2 as well.

This too. In fact, MGSV may be the most hated upon masterpiece on these forums. Top 5 game for me and also my favorite MGS.

I remember being surprised to find out that Sonic Adventure 1 was such a widely disliked game before finding out how much worse its ports on newer and more commonly used systems were, including additional bugs, which made a lot of sense those versions were going to be what most people played.
People don't like that?!? I meannnn the level design wasn't great but it was proper dumb fun
I remember a couple of threads about the game and ppl was just trashing it all around. I really liked it too
Vampyr (was) my game of the generation (until very recently).
It is the game I enjoyed the most, in a generation where I came in late , played more games than ever , got two PS1 modernised remakes I couldn't have imagined (one a beloved childhood JRPG, the other , well , I'm just blown away by how well "we do it").
So that, and Days Gone- pretty sure that holds the title for the most amount of hours I put into a game in 2019. If I am to stand by my username at ALL, I feel no shame in saying that Days Gone is bloody fantastic. I would love a sequel.
Volume - I loved it.

As a WoW player myself yes it's frustrating and annoying, it's been 17 years of this crap. But the way I look at this, all the negative talk means that the game is still relevant, even if people who are dumping on it do not realize this.
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Alpha Protocol
Dungeon Siege 3
WWE 2k19
I want to get "Dark Souls 2 is the best one actually" tattooed on my forehead.

Dragon age inquisition. Sure, many side quest are mmo filer kind but ruegan is much more than that and excels in several areas.
The Crew 2. Probably the best racing game I've ever played, fun arcadey physics, tons of races and a big map that all manages to feel distinct and fun to drive on. II also had a lot of fun driving around the map while in a cop car, finding other players and turning on my sirens to chase them around. Something about the idea of a player pulling over someone for speeding in a racing game made me crack up.
I could put a few Ubisoft games in this thread honestly. Their games are painfully generic but usually have great controls/game feel. Steep is another favorite of mine and I can't wait for Rider's Republic this fall.

honestly 2 games I've despised that I see almost nothing but topics praising all the time here are ffviii and chrono cross. 2 games I hate, but are always praised here. Given normally the superman make sure to hop into every topic about it, but I feel these games era mostly loves.
for me dragon age inquisition
the first one was alright this is way better imo
ffxv broken story, but loved the potential, Also borderlands 3 is the only borderlands my wife and I can actually finish. My wife didn't care for handsome Jack at all.
Donkey Kong 64, which was critically acclaimed in 1999, but has somehow become cool to hate over the years.
for the life of me I cannot understand the hate for this game. It's an N64 showpiece, the characterization of all the characters and worlds is so good, the hub feels living and breathing in a way that's even better than Peach's castle in Super Mario 64, and there are 5 different playable characters all with their own physics, mechanics, collectibles and progression. It has the DK rap and a menacing KK Rool. It has many different collectibles all obtained through different unique methods.
It was one of the best selling N64 games. And then Nintendo killed the franchise for no reason (I guess because Rare were gone)
Overall, it's a better collectathon than Super Mario Odyssey. I don't know why everyone likes hating on this game now.

DmC (Best one in the series)
Devil May Cry 2 (not as bad as people like to say)
Bioshock Infinite
God of War Ascension (Best music of the entire saga)
Final Fantasy X (Best love story of them all)

For Honor. Era doesn't hate it per se, but just seem very meh about it. The OT never really took off, people think it's dead now and compare it to games it's nothing like.
I love it, it's got some of the best weapon combat mechanics and representation of martial arts styles in a game. It's the game I've always wanted as a martial arts weapon nerd.
Ubisoft have done a wonderful job supporting it, and even after 5 years, more characters, balances/reworks, armor, weapons, seasonal modes, and map changes are being added.

Normally I can turn a blind eye to rose-tinted glasses but I'm going to have to make an exception here. I played 06 way after its release. I got it on a whim for single digit pricing wondering if it was actually as bad as everyone said and to my surprise it was worse. When you weren't falling off the geometry of the level every 5 seconds, you were either waiting for minutes for a "cutscene" where a couple of dialogue balloons would pop up only to be followed up for another couple minutes loading to continue on.
It's one of the most grossly unfinished and broken games ever released publicly.. heck... given the recent outcry about Cyberpunk I'm surprised the outcry for Sonic 06 wasn't worse. If I had to name one game that should have never made it to shelves and been banned from stores until it was patched, Sonic 06 would be it. It's a complete and utter unmitigated disaster and even if the game wasn't a buggy unfinished mess do I need to remind you about the *shudders* romance subplot in it? Jeez...

Xenoblade 2
I do NOT care about sexualized anime designs, its when shit starts getting underageish is where i draw the line
Do not remember Xeno 2 having anything like that with the gacha characters but I didn't aim to collect all of them
I can definitely see the rest of the games you listed having largely negative opinions but FFX is like one of the BEST FFs by a wide margin of opinions
