The early days of No Man's Sky. While everyone was hating the game here, I was enjoying every single second of it.
Edit: There were a few of us, but we were outnumbered BIG time.

Some of these answers...
People are not allowed to dislike popular games without it meaning the consensus is overly negative.
There are a few franchises that I can still tolerate, but living in Japan long enough and you grow tired of the redundancy lol.
Lots of people on ERA like anime aesthetics. First page in gaming forum usually has something JRPG related
I think Lukewarm would be more appropriate. I've seen a lot of posts talking bad about anime style.
Check out Pyras reveal for Smash.
Games that are disliked everywere:
DA: Inqisition (Like people said that first location is endless bloat and huge, when it took less time to 100% this location than skyrim prolog.)
ME: Andromeda - it was worse than trilogy but it still was a good game and had the best combat out of all of them (Atleast by playing class with charge+shotgun)
DmC - I like it more than 1, 2 and 4.
Assassins Creed series. Overall most ubisoft games
Control - not disliked, more mixed opinions but I loved it
Games that are disliked especially on ERA, not that much elsewere:
Code Vein
Bioshock Infinity + Burial at Sea (one of my favorite games of all time)
Reading this thread, I guess Borderlands series, lol.

Thought some of you may be interested in this. After discussing Rebellion/Supremacy, I got the itch to play it again. And I hit almost god level RNG for my starting position. When I checked my starter characters, I had BOTH Bin Essada and Pter Thanas. Normally I have both Palps and Vader doing recruitment, but because I had 2 of the three recruitable diplomats from day one, I put Vader straight on diplomacy and left recruitment to Palps alone...and of course, the first person he recruited was Pellaeon! So on like day 20 I had every single imperial diplomat! Then I sent Pter Thanas to the "rebellion" sector (the one where it's all neutral or rebellion planets), to start a diplomacy mission there and stave off the nightmare of a fully rebel sector...and within a few days, on a neutral planet with only Pter, on a diplomacy mission, and a galleon I sent with him to get him their faster...Jan Dodonna was captured an injured on a misssion:
So not only did I have all my diplomats, the rebels lost one of theirs!
So now on day 73 things look like this lol:
(also had a stroke of luck in the corellia sector as you can see, got one of those "chain reactions" where a planet joins your side and 3 others nearby decide to join too).
Never had a game like this!

That's a hell of a starting line-up!
sir_crocodile,
That is insane, haven't replayed yet, but I can't remember to ever having a game like that

im almost sure there are more people who like or are indifferent to XIII here than the opposite
its certainly the place i see more people defending it than anywhere else

Quit now, you've won hahaha. I don't think I've ever focussed on diplomacy in the core systems. I usually tried to get the systems where I had a foothold in the core totally to my side, while spamming the outer systems with droids. There are always a few with insane resources there. a few mega shipyards and a few totally devoted to energy/materials and you're basically invincible.
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
It has it's problems but I genuinely love the game. I find it to be fun, despite the sound quality I like a lot of the songs (one day I will find a good rock remix of Successor of Fate), and it being easy just makes it one of CV titles I can get through quickly when just feel like playing a CV metriodvania.

Persona? Final Fantasy? Dragon Quest? Era thinking the best looking fighter ever is either Dragon Ball or Guilty Gear? Pokémon?
You can dislike RDR2 all you want. But the thread is about games Era is lukewarm on and RDR2 was one of them.
That's my point: no it's not, lol. Make a poll, majority of Era really likes this game.
"Squandered potential" might as well be the subtitle of that game. That or "most expensive tech demo in history".
You're going off of confrimation bias because negative opinions stand out to you. The game is ridiculously popular, obviously, the idea that Era is lukewarm on it is nonsense.
A poll would prove that, feel free!
Just did. People were not disappointed because of anime aesthetics, but because the "anime sword fighter" role is already severely featured in the game by Fire Emblem characters, Shulk from Xenoblade 1, Dragon Quest hero, etc.
Reading through a couple of the early pages and it comes off as people just throwing whatever game out. I feel like the only one I read that was divisive amongst reviewers and here was Days Gone lol.
On topic: I'd personally go with the 2K series (or sports games in general seem to be frowned upon here) or maybe even annual MP shooters like CoD. Sometimes this forum feels like a real stickler regarding MP > single player.
Okay, loving CoD/NBA 2K is a little too strong, but I certainly don't dislike them.
I personally agree with you but considering the character was from Xeno 2, outside of Lora/Morag, they never had a chance in regards to discussion about style/appearance
Never seen animosity quite like that directed at PlayStation All-Stars. Which is weird because I adored it and played the online with guys from work for about a year. The Internet echo chamber insists it was the worst thing to ever happen though.
This game triggers me. I hated it. Everything about it is horrible (well, maybe not everything, at least the graphics are good).
The gameplay is terrible while driving, while fighting (don't even get me started on the combat).
It was the first Final Fantasy I ever finished. And I finished it out of spite, having payed 60 dollars for it.
I loved this game when it came out. It still has the same core gameplay so I was happy with it.
Definitely DmC for me. I've always liked the Devil May Cry games (though I was pretty lukewarm on 4) but they've always been one and done experiences for me. I get through them, put them away, and never look at them again, so DmC having kind of shallow combat didn't really bother me. I don't play the games to master the combat, just to enjoy the experience of getting through the game.
After 4 games, I thought Devil May Cry's anime cool tone was getting kind of played out and thought DmC looked really refreshing. The punk aesthetic was fun, the reinterpretation of the characters was interesting, and the level design and combat were solid. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game (especially the hilarious Fox News boss fight).
I'm glad it wasn't a permanent change (Devil May Cry 5 was great and after DmC as a palate cleanser I was ready to go back to the style of the old games) but it really gets more flack that it deserves.

Everyone seems to hate on Jak 2 and 3 but I enjoy them very much. Yeh, they're super edgy but who the fuck cares they're fun!
I think this thread has really just verified that there's a small, vocal subset of people who basically shout into the void about how bad a game is, repeatedly; this makes some others believe that there's actually a lot of people who share these ideas, when it's really just these 12 people or whatever. Hence the answers of RDR2 and the like.
Answering the question: Guild Wars 2. I'm not entirely sure what the stance on it is, but I don't see many posts about it, so I'm going to go with lukewarm.
Final Fantasy XV. I don't care about Diane's opinion of it either, so you don't have to repost your response again.

even if rdr 2's recognition is a smidget lower here than in most other places, it still ranked #3 on 2018's goty list here. Thats pretty freaking far from lukewarm.
I'm with you on RE3R being better than Village. Village is maybe the least repayable RE I have ever played.
Days Gone and Mass Effect Andromeda I got over 100 hours in both. I liked almost all the Paper Mario's since Thousand Year Door even though I had to revisit them later to appreciate some. Dragon Age Inquisition which I am still playing every once in a while I think has surpassed now even my Skyrim total hours on like 5 systems.
Pokemon Sword/Shield and the Last Of Us Part 2. I saw plenty of hate for that one but I loved the game.
well, you weren't wrong
this is actually the weirdest game ever. the rebels made *NO* attempts to take over planets. When I swept through the outer systems, they only had like 4 total.
instead they spent 100% of their energy attempting to incite uprisings, and I won't lie, if I didn't have all my diplomats so early, it may have worked. But as-is I was *just* able keep ahead, and I guess they didn't have enough maintenance points to do anything else.
when a planet had a safely large green bar, I'd move them on to a new planet that the rebels were inciting, so I decided to try one of my non diplomats - screed who started with like 20 in diplomacy.
this is him now:
95% of his missions failed in the first few hundred days, but as he gained 1 point with every mission that succeded, in the end he became a real diplomat lol. I'm literally only playing the game now to get him up to 100 before I take out their base.
