Game you hate but everyone else likes?

I really like SR1, probably one of my top 10 PS1 games ever. That being said, it reminds me of MGSV: both games are amazing IMO, but both have so much cut content (I think SR1 suffers more from this than MGSV) that it just makes you wonder what the game could have been like if it was fully finished.
If you play SR1 again, go for the Dreamcast version, by far the best version of the game (and a better PC port than the actual PC port if you choose to emulate it)

I think the SR1 PC port is improved enough to be the best version with the wrace patch.
 
Bravely Default 2. It's a straight downgrade from BD/BS mechanically and where BD/BS would let you blast through the game at high speed if you knew what you were doing and how to properly build parties, BD2 forces you to grind hard from the very start and sets up the grinding in a way where you need to grind a separate set of weak enemies to get the consumable items required to properly grind the things you should actually be fighting.

Also, the music sucks. They didn't even bring back That Person's Name Is as a boss theme. I have no idea why the RPG community has been fellating it as hard as they've been.

I have never understood the appeal of skyrim, even with mods considered. Fallout 4 is similarly Not Good.
I also think that while Fallout: NV is a good game, it is wildly overrated.

That's my opinion of all of the games by that developer.

GTA games are also terrible and would only appeal to people looking for a casual or party game, or 13-year old kids with severe ADHD who just want to mindlessly press buttons and watch things explode.

Halo, definetely Halo.

I never liked the two weapons limitation and the rechargable shields, I also found the story to be sub par and most of the campaign maps were honestly horseshit.

I played from the original trilogy and Reach, by the end I still didn't get the appeal.

The same goes for Gears of War, however I only played the first two games of that one before I came to the conclussion that Cliffy B. didn't make games like he used to.

Seriously. Skyrim is essentially Baby’s First RPG. Frigging Oblivion gave you more to work with. It’s the Final Fantasy Mystic Quest of Western rpgs.

New Vegas I still think is the best of the newer Fallout games but you’re right about it being overrated. It’s a good game but Skyrim straight up sucks as far as I’m concerned

Bioshock 1. The single most psuedo-intellectual reddit tier political critique that totally isn’t pretentious and clichéd (seriously, cyberpunk already addressed these issues in the 80’s) mediocre shooter that tries to separate itself from Call of Duty. Seriously, I’m sick of hearing about how intelligent or stimulating this post modern “masterpiece” is.

Diablo. One, two and three. I don’t know what it is about them that I don’t care for, but I am always bored to tears by the end of the first region (chapter?). It feels incredibly grindy and repetitive— go to a dungeon and kill shit.

I never understood the appeal of Minecraft for anyone older than the age of 12.
Also, MOBAs in general, LOL/DOTA just looks like exercises in dealing with toxic annoying people, and if I want to play a team based game, I would rather play CoD or a sports game, and not some half baked strategy bullshit. If I want to play multiplayer strategies games , I would much rather play Starcraft 2 or C&C.

In retrospect, I somewhat hate the plots of the Metal Gear Solid games - there are elements of a solid plot underneath the surface, however 90% of what you encounter in game is just filler which distracts from the main plot - the main plot of all of the games, minus the filler, could probably be summarized in a paragraph or two. (The plots also tend to be very comic-book like, such as DC or Marvel lore).

I find that just treating each game as a standalone experience without trying too hard to weave all of the plot elements from the other games into it is more enjoyable.

Agree wholeheartedly. I played Diablo 1 back in the day because Diablo 1 was popular and everyone played it. Then I realized that I really don't care about fountains of loot or builds or DPS or any of that. MMOs bores me to tears for the same reason. I suspect that part of the thrill in loot-games(and loot boxes) is the same as the appeal of slot machines and both requires a desire for gambling.

All of the "Battleground" games.
I really hated Dawn Of War 2 & 3. While 3 started to grow on me a little after a while I really couldnt get over how DoW2 was such a step down in nearly every aspect. The Last Stand was really well done, though. Crying shame they only made 2 maps and had such a limited hero selection.

I wish they would make a good 40k RTS again, this time without breakdancing Chapter Masters and sullying the good and honorable names of beloved fun seekers like Gorgutz.
