No Man’s Sky. I don’t like it that much either. I just don’t hate it as much at other people. It’s ok. Easy to get bored after a while. Feels like a AAA blended with a phone game it’s weird, but sometimes smooth brains like me need some simple games to play.
What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

I think most of the complaints about no man’s sky came from the fact that it was a system exclusive for the PlayStation. It’s a pretty bad exclusive game you have to admit.

Surely there were better semi-action RPGs…but the vibes and the depth of some systems on those games were great
afaix@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Timeshift: it has 71 on metacritic, so not that universally disliked, but I actually thought it was really great. An fps where you can stop or slow down time, with pretty simple time related puzzles and a lot of slow-motion gore.
It also had an interesting multiplayer mode where you could throw grenades that slow down time in a sphere around them, but unfortunately I never managed to find a match online

I still think about Battlerite from time to time. Very fair high skill arena fighting game that’s faster and more to the point than MOBAs that were dominating the PvP scene at the time. It had a great launch then everyone stopped playing it.

The same studio made V rising which is an excellent game in itself, though I will admit that I’ve only played it singleplayer.

Kinda like Omega Strikers, they were so close to being really good but were just missing something to keep people in
Guitar@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I love all 3 main series Fable games. I know many people like 1 or 2, but usually I see a lot of people shitting on 3. Each one is good in different ways, but I will admit that 1 and 2 are definitely better than 3.

Asura’s Wrath, the button masher QTE on rail drew a lot of hate at the time, but I loved the storytelling and the visceral characterization.
Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I think the hate was in the true end being locked behind DLC. I loved the game but could never finish it because the server to buy the DLC was down by then.

I genuinely think Daikatana is a decent (but flawed) game.
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I think John Romero’s Daikatana had a lot of amazing ideas that just couldn’t be realized in the final release of the game due to circumstances during its development.
It is objectively a bad game, one of the worst actually, but I sure do see a lot of potential in it.

So you’re Romero’s little bitch?

Ngl, I’ve really enjoyed Fallout 76. It’s still a lot of people’s least favourite in the franchise, despite the updates over the years, but it’s a lot of fun!
fishy@lemmy.today 3 months ago
I played for a few hours because I got it for free. I’ve been begging my gaming buddies to give it a shot but the initial impressions and reviews still have them scared.
Seemed pretty cool imo
GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 3 months ago
Definitely a lot better than I heard it was at launch!
DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Not a favourite but back in the day, me and my friend played the shit out of Battle Arena Toshinden on the PS1. Have since heard on various podcasts that people hated it. I genuinely loved it at the time.
Auth@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Age of empires 3 was good. The units were cooler, graphics were amazing and the gameplay was better placed than previous games. The only thing that sucked was grinding cards but bypassing that was as simple as changing a value in a text file.
brognak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
Resident Evil…3
The one that as far as I can tell everyone hates I played the absolute shit out of as a kid. I remember speed running it before I knew that was a thing to unlock everything. Used to just do 2-3 playthroughs a week just vibin.
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Did people hate that one? I know people don’t like the remake because it took out a bunch of content. But I remember feeling like Nemesis becoming the face of the franchise for a time.
KubrickFR@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Rayman M or Rayman Arena in North America. A PS2 era multiplayer 3D Rayman game with only 2 game modes, battle and racing. Most people hate one of the game modes, so half the game and are disappinted but the lack a content. Some critic said that the senses of speed is dull and the level design can be flat-out horrible.
I guess like all multiplayer games it’s easier to have fun with friends, but I liked the challenging and sometimes cruel level design that forced skill and reflexes in rcing mode.
bonzo22@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Played so much of this as a kid, one of my favorites. Tried it again recently and it didn’t hold up as well but I’ll always love this game

GBA port of Munch’s Oddysee
it’s an objectively very meh game, so compared to the rest of the rockstars that make up Oddworld it’s crap lol.
but it was one of the first video games I ever played and completed, so I love it unconditionally
zewm@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Most Funcom games. Anarchy Online is my favorite game but had an abysmal launch. Secret World Legends (fka The Secret World).
LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 3 months ago
Secret World was so fucking amazing at launch, then got absolutely ruined when it was turned into Legends. It is the one game that actually makes me mourn its passing
zewm@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Being on topic, I like(d) both versions. While SWL simplifies the game, the core of the game is still good. The questing and cinematics are top tier.

Earthworm Jim
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Who the heck didn’t like that?
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
I’m also confused. I mean sure, there are people who didn’t like it. But putting the game under “most people didn’t like it” just sounds wrong. Earthworm Jim was one of the best platformers of its time, with so much character and creativity. Just a bit short. :-)

Zelda Twilight Princess may not have been exactly hated, but nobody really seems to love it. They all go gaga over Ocarina of Time instead, which just feels like a worse Twilight Princess in just about every way. Nostalgia I guess!
Also, you know, Twilight Princess has you be a wolf (in sections for part of the game, and then later you get unrestricted wolf mode (but it keeps kicking you out of it grrr!)). Huge therian feels. That’s a big part of why I love it.

I liked and finished Unlimited SaGa twice. The soundtrack is phenominal and the graphics are all hand-painted watercolors. The combat system is a bit opaque but with tinkering, can be figured out.
And yet, it’s regarded as one of the worst titles on the PkayStation 2.
I still use the track “DG mixture” when I need a consistent sound to set my soundboard for my shows.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV - Diverted from the series’ standards with a new traversal mechanic. Most people hated it and was immediately dropped for Heroes V. But it added unique ways to get around, rewarded having small squads of fast units. Still had incredible music.
Phantasy Star Universe, Phantasy Star Zero - Weird entries in a franchise that pretty much only gets discussed for PSO and PSO2. PSU had a weird spell mechanic where your wand had PP instead of your character having PP, so Cast characters could use photon arts. And the Beast race that was forgotten. PSZ is more story-based, but I mostly feel that people don’t know about it rather than dislike it.
Kojichan@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I unironically loved PSU as well. I just had the worst GPU ever at the time and couldn’t play it even at the lowest CPU settings.
I’m glad some group of people are working on trying to reverse engineer the server side components to get it working again.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Clemantine! I played PSU about a year ago with my friends. We played about two weeks then they fell off~ it was good to revisit, but it was a repeat of the first time haha

I mostly just hear negativity towards NFS Heat and Unbound, but I found both of them to be incredibly fun and engaging. Grab a friend and make stupid builds like offroad supercars or spongebob VWs. Or try to make actually good builds, either way they’re really fun games. On the other hand, I never enjoyed Forza.

I happen to love FFXII, but everyone I talk to hates it. I understand it more with the Zodiac Age version since they made a few unnecessary changes, but the original was fun.

Digimon World for the PS1.
I know it was a greatest hits game, and this is probably cheating because the game is “for the fans.” But I feel a lot of people bought it and evolved a sludge monster who pooped everywhere. And then the restarted and got something they wanted, only for it to die and they have to start all over again.
But I loved the show and I loved trying to get the monster I wanted. Now, years later, the evolution requirements are demystified and I play through it every year or so.
CaptainBasculin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
Splitgate AR. The game experience is unmatched compared to any FPS I’ve ever played. Sure, the gunplay feels close to Halo, but you need to be very aware of portals you can use, and possible enemy flanks. Races can teach even beginners how to use portal play to move all around the map really fast
I sort of get why most people couldn’t get used to it. When players are zooping around everywhere and you play like a sitting duck especially when you first step into the game, it probably feels like a tryhard game, and it’s really difficult to step into that kind of game given the current era of fps games with skill based matchmaking all around. But once you learn playing around portals, there’s no other fps that become as intense as it.

I didnt think Starfirld was as bad as folks say.
DomeGuy@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Starfield is “fine” if you compare it to stock Skyrim or fallout 4.
It continues the aggravating tradition of being a rubber-banded pseudo-sandbox with just enough randomness to make you realize how little randomness there is in the game.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I had a lot more fun with Starfield once I stopped forcing myself to try to explore all planets. Once I realized they were all copy/paste with the same copy/paste bases I just started ignoring them. Game was more than long enough without them anyway.
