How is Terranigma mentioned here? It’s one of the most beloved Action Adventure RPGs on the system and to my knowledge, most people who have played it liked it. I also had the game back then, purchased it randomly because Lufia 2 wasn’t released yet (in Germany). Honestly, I think Terranigma is one of those universally loved games, never heard anyone disliking it.
Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but Prototype (and its sequel) comes to my mind. It wasn’t that badly received, but most people liked Infamous more, in the same generation.

I personally know two JRPG gamers that played it (recommended by me) and didn’t like it, because they never advanced beyond the underworld. And some other people online with a similar experience. Of course, that was in the '90s, when I played it for the first time.
In the 30 years since, the game has become a lot more popular and gained a cult following, but at release time it wasn’t like that (not helped by the fact that the 2 previous games in the trilogy were kind of obscure too).

It’s always fascinating to read other experiences and cultures. In my experience, from what I read back then and from personal experience with friends opinion, plus all the aftermath of internet culture I never had the impression that this game is not liked by “most”. So seeing the game here was surprising to me. I am in Germany, just for reference.

Terranigma’s not disliked, it just never got a North American release so it’s more obscure than it should have been.

I love the movement etc. in Prototype 2! 100%ed it more than once, it’s just too fun. Surely we’ll get the sequel any day now 🥲

If you like Prototype and JRPGs you should check out Forspoken, which would be my pick for this thread. The bad reviews and memes were just gamergate bullshit. Despite its flaws, it’s the ultimate wizard power fantasy, with movement and combat that to me felt like a refined and even more fun/complete version of what we got from games like Prototype, Crackdown and Saints Row 4. Once you begin unlocking multiple magic types and get into the flow of switching them around on the fly it really provides some of the best and most satisfying gameplay I remember in my 30+ years of gaming.

I loved prototype so much. I couldn’t wait for the sequel. I felt like firever until it came out. Like i moved twice or something. And when it finally came out, i couldn’t wait to play it, but kinda didn’t care anymore. I still don’t know if prototype was a let down, or i just stopped caring.

I played both of them way way past release, and I felt like 2 was a really good, really fun gameplay experience. I would rate 2’s gameplay higher but 1’s story higher.
