I wonder if it would still hold up to me, but I really liked True Crime: Streets of LA on the Gamecube. I’m led to believe it was not well received, and is derided as a bad GTA clone
What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

If you haven’t yet: Check out Sleeping Dogs. I think it’ll scratch the itch for a True Crime game. I think I recently saw it on sale for $3.

That’s probably because Sleeping dogs started as a True Crime game but due to circumstances ended up releasing as Sleeping Dogs.

The True Crime games are great, and just in case you’re not aware, Sleeping Dogs is a spiritual successor.

Kingdom Come 1 & 2. They’re really good once the combat clicks but most people don’t like it because until the combat clicks it’s fucking brutal especially since the save system is ridiculous in those games.

Coming in at a 45 rating on Metacritic: Hyperdimension Neptunia.
Is it a bad game? Yes. It’s really bad. It’s an ugly game for PS3 standards, and the battle mechanics are borderline insane. It’s a JRPG where you can’t manually heal, but instead set a % chance to heal automatically in battles… which means sometimes you game over because RNG wasn’t going to let you heal. But regardless it’s one of my favorites. I’m a sucker for the core concept of the schoolyard console wars, with little gaming references everywhere and silly humor. I also love the theme songs for each console nation. It really drives home how different the console cultures are supposed to be as you are traveling around solving their problems.
And I mean, come on… When you first start the game and you are in the tutorial dungeon it plays this song during exploration and this song during battles. Games today would never do something that silly.
The later games polished the gameplay, expanded the character rosters, gave more depth to the story, and dealt with some very dark topics (Gehaburn trauma)… but to me none of them captured the lightning that the first one had.

It sounds terrible. I’m glad you liked it

Star Fox Zero. Sure, the story was a repeat of old game, but the gameplay was not. The controls needed more polish, but ultimately I thought the gameplay was great. I actually didn’t mind the motion controls. Most of what people complained about didn’t bother me or felt overblown.

While not hated, most fans of the series prefer Darksiders to Darksiders 2. I personally prefer 2, I love the loot system.

Burnout Paradise is the first that comes to mind. In my head it’s the best racing game I’ve ever played. Whenever I see discussions of the Burnout series on the internet, everyone raves about the series but noone mentions Burnout Paradise.
I imagine it’s because they just liked the older ones more, but I never played them so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Most Funcom games. Anarchy Online is my favorite game but had an abysmal launch. Secret World Legends (fka The Secret World).

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

Who the heck didn’t like that?
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 hours 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. :-)

Sleeping Dogs

It’s a game that you liked that most people didn’t, Sleeping Dogs was very well received so I don’t think it qualifies.
