Which of these controversial or underwhelming games from big Japenese franchises during the 7th gen is your favorite?

[Bane]

MGS4 is my favorite but most of those are good to great games. Other M and RE6 are the only two I'd consider mediocre to bad.

 

[Rockodile]

Skyward Sword at least has Koloktos, so that I guess

 

[Metalgus]

Skyward Sword is one of my favorite Zelda games. I'd even argue the gameplay is more fun than Breath of the Wild's (which is also among my favorite Zeldas ovbviously).

I always wish for a remaster whenever there's a Direct...

 

[In Amber Clad]

Skyward Sword is such a mixed bag. At times it's utterly magical, but then it's twice as long as it needs to be and swimming for tadtones might be the worst thing I've ever done in a game.

 

[masizzai]

DmC is a great game gameplay wise. Especially level design. I get why people didn't like edgelord Dante but the way the game played was fantastic.

 

[Billfisto]

DmC by a mile for me.

That said, I had no real fondness/nostalgia for the originals at the time, so I went in with no preconceptions.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Skyward Sword is a legitimately great game so that one.

I also liked MGS4 and RE6 but agree that they were underwhelming. I had fun with both though.

I agree 100% with this post.

 

[Egida]

Imo Skyward Sword and MGS4 don't belong on that list.

 

[Damn Silly]

In order (I haven't played Other M, so I won't add it) from most favourite to least favourite

DmC > FFXIII > RE6 > Skyward Sword > MGS4

Which, funnily enough, is the inverse of the affection I had for their various series at the times I played them.

 

[BeaconofTruth]

Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't even bad. So MGS4, after that I guess Resident Evil 6 is 2nd.

 

[PSOreo]

MGS4 by a country mile; I loved every minute of that game. Skyward Sword deserved the hate. The same damn three places over and over and over again.

 

[Aswitch]

MGS4 sure as hell didn't underwhelm me I know that much. One of my favorite games of all time.

 

[Phendrift]

Glad to see the MGS4 love in here :^) most threads about it the haters come out

 

[Strangelove_77]

MGS4 is a great experience the first time you play it. It's just constant highs and nostalgia out the ass.
It's only later that you find all the flaws. But even then I'd still say it's a great game.

 

[Le Dude]

I still don't understand why everyone hated Skyward Sword so much.

Linearity, repetitive"You got *insert random item here*", and I could never get the controller to register a stab for me. I dunno if it was because I'm left handed or what, but stabs just barely worked.

That being said I still thought it was a 9/10 game. IDK where the idea that it is a bad game comes from.

 

[Hailinel]

Tfw two favorites of the gen appear in the same poll.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Final Fantasy XIII is a misunderstood masterpiece.

I also loved Resident Evil 6, but that's because I love dumb action games and don't like survival horror.

 

[mogwai00]

DmC Is great.
MGS4 bored me to death, but it made me cry.
Resident Evil 6 deserves no salvation.

 

[Camwi]

I've only played FF13 and RE6 from that list, and they're both trash (RE6 is the worst, though).

Probably the clickbait Egoraptor video and the "linear=terrible game" trend which has come up recently

(That being said I have issues with the game, and do think the world could be more open feeling, because Zelda games specifically do better with a more open world)

Yeah, I hate the trend of open world games nowadays, but Skyward Sword felt like a game that really would have benefitted from it. The flying was an awesome feeling that gave you a sense of freedom and adventure, only for you to feel so limited once you hit the ground.

As I said previously, I still think it's an amazing game, but I can see where many people don't like it as much as others in the series. However I really don't see how anyone could think it's a bad game.
