For a game I liked, it's Beyond Two Souls. It got somewhat decent reviews but is basically reviled among gamers. What are your guilty pleasures?

If I'm going way way back, I played ET on the Atari and liked it. But I was like nine years old and stupid. I guess I'm just old and stupid now

For games I hated that others seem to love universally, Bioshock Infinite and Halo. I think this is mainly because I don't like FPS games.

(Sorry if this an old topic, but another thread piqued my curiosity)

Super Mario Sunshine has caught a lot of shite from people but it's still my favorite 3D Mario game.

Castlevania 2 is way better than Castlevania 3

Loved Arkham Knight. The story was great and the combat was polished to perfection. Plus, there was a ton of side quests. Even the batmobile wasn't as bad as people made it seem.

I didn't hate ME2, but I really liked ME1 and thought it was a better game. ME1 was so close to being amazing, but they over tweaked and over simplified ME2.

Also, I really like super Mario bros 2, more than many of the others, but I think that it's because it's unique. Being the one outlier makes it interesting. Plus, I love the different characters and how you "fall in" to start the game

On NES I love Top Gun, Bible Adventures, King of Kings, Zelda 2, Mega Man 1, Mario Bros (original arcade style game), and Pinball

On the other side I haven't liked an FPS since Duke Nukem, Doom and Goldeneye. I tried with Halo and COD but I was so far behind the curve that I've pretty much given up on modern FPS's. Also I really want to like the point and click story based games. I've tried Wolf Among Us, Walking Dead, Back to the Future, Minecraft Story Mode. I don't hate it, but none of them I had any desire to play past the first session. I'm not getting whatever it is that makes them so great. Just totally boring and monotonous to me

FFVII is a good game. I own 4 or 5 versions or it. But it's not the GOAT or anything and there are several peers that are just simply better.

My super unpopular opinion: I don't like the GTA series and think Saints Row is far superior in every way.

I don't like Bioshock, Fallout, Read Dead Redemption, or Dishonred.

I like Rage and FFXIII (the first is my favorite of the trilogy).

Like: final fantasy 8 is my favorite...broken story line and all. Also, halo 5 multiplayer is fantastic

Dislike: MMOs seem pointless to me. I need a clear cut ending to a game

Greatly disliked Alan Wake. Tedious, tired gameplay mechanics, awful supporting characters, and a very mediocre script

I really liked Dead Space 3. It got alot of hate, but it was still a fun space thriller. It wasn't quite the horror you experienced in 1 or 2, but still a good game. Besides they couldn't go on making the same game over and over...right?

I used to hate any CoD/Battlefield games pre-XB1. Just couldn't get into them as I was a halo fan and didn't care to learn.

Which leads me into CoD Ghosts. I liked it
There were next to no games available at launch, so I picked it up and enjoyed it. That may have been from lack of games, or lack of knowledge of the previous versions, but I still found it entertaining.

Disliked:
Halo - Just boring. 2 was slightly better. I like Guardians, but it's still so blah. There are a dozen better franchises than Halo. I'm assuming I missed out on the LAN Parties.
World of Warcraft - I've played every major MMO for at least a few months. I played this for a week and disliked it enough to never play again.
God of War - The pinnacle of games built to be "edgy," just for edgyness sake. And Kratos might be the most emo video game character ever.

Liked:
Final Fantasy VIII - I think it might be a better experience, not game, than VII.
Fifa Street - Yeah the production values were terrible, but I thought it was a fun iteration of soccer. Granted, I like soccer games anyway.
Secret of Evermore - Not hated, but disliked. I think it's vastly underrated.

I didn't hate ME3 nearly as much as most people. Up until the ending, it was an amazing game to me. When they released the free DLC that added more closure to the ending, it was just below ME2 for me.
