What are some games that you like, but pretty much everyone else hates.

I'll go first...

I liked Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

Eivind · 09-22-2003, 09:51 AM

I liked Phantasmagoria

I always liked Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace...y'know that third person action/adventure game.

Not only was it the first game to introduce me to relatively realistic light saber action but it was also pretty sweet looking for its time and the games that were exposed to me then

Despite what I feel about it, a lot of people seem to be under the opinion that it sucks. I was appalled when I saw that Gamespot gave it a 4.3.

But I still like it

I enjoyed the DIG.

I also loved CMI's graphics, which is considered a sin in the eyes of some MI1 and 2 purists

I personally think that of all the MI games, CMI has the best graphics. MI1 and MI2 aren't so bad, but with crude pixeling, the age shows clearly

As for MI4, eh, it was okay, but I have to say CMI was brilliant (IMHO). Quite beautifully done.

I caught that hype too, and purchased the game. Biggest waste of money of my whole PC gaming career. It was an 'OK' game to play through... but damn, what a short and unfulfilling little game. Worst LucasArts game ever.

You suck!

I'm perhaps overly fond of Mario Teaches Typing, I must admit.

Oh man, I remember that game. Can't even imagine how long ago that must have been. I had a friggin ball with it though.

The Poisoned Pawn · 09-22-2003, 12:50 PM

I like Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, though I haven't played it in ages. And I enjoyed The Phantom Menace for a while as well, but I really dislike it now.

Kingzjester · 09-22-2003, 03:20 PM

Stupid Invaders - it is a very stupid game, but I enjoyed it the first time around... I stress the word 'first' doubly by bringing your attention back to it with an extra sentence.

Morrowind is good too.

custard · 09-22-2003, 08:15 PM

I liked enter the matrix on my gamecube (pc was horrid tho - far glitchier and poo)

James · 09-22-2003, 08:57 PM

I really like Morrowind. Shame on the non believers! Also Outcast, which isnt so much that people hate it, more that they dont remember it

Wow. How anyone can enjoy that game anytime around is beyond me. I found absolutely nothing of entertaining value, and just when you think it can only get better, it gets worse...

I guess mine is... Britneys dance Beat

I beat you all there, didn't I...

My stupid Invaders review ...

nordic guy, you should read that

I can guarantee you'll enjoy it more than the game, at least

I have read it, actually. Great review of a sad game. Stupid Invaders has got to be the most stupid(duh), frustrating and pointless game I have ever played. And sadly, I own it.

I especially like this line from your review:
The one thing I don’t understand about this game is, since the developers were honest enough to admit that the game was stupid, couldn't they have gone the whole hog and called it Boring Irritating Abysmal Invaders?

Daikatana

now I'm just talking rubbish, but when I got that game for almost free, I enjoyed the 5 minutes I looked at the front of the box, and when I started the game.

I had hoped they could've made it even playable, but it's quite horridly filled with bugs etc.
