Games You Love that Everybody Hates - Page 2

Oh, and Bart and the Beanstalk.

No one seems to enjoy it but me...

**GK Punk** · 07-30-2007, 07:42 PM

Off the top of my head, Final Fantasy X-2 is a big one. I"ve played through it multiple times and I still love it. I think a lot of people were kind of turnd off by it simply because of th system changes, it's not a typical FF Game.

Super Valis 4 is a game even other Valis fans dislike. I own the PC Engine original and the are a world of difference. th PCE version is a lot better, but the SNES version is still pretty fun, and challenging (Untill you get the patterns of the bosses down anyway.) They removed Two playable characters, all the levels are different and the anime sequences that tell the story between levels are all removed though.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

It is my favorite of the Zelda games. Yet people seem to dislike it.

**GK Punk** · 07-30-2007, 08:45 PM

Actually, that should be on my list too. I love Zelda 2.

*Deathknight* · 07-30-2007, 10:54 PM

Zelda 2,
Castlevania 2
Adventures of Lolo/Eggerland (series)
Adventure Island (series)
Ironsword: Wizards and Warriors 2
Chrono Cross
MegaMan Network Transmission
Final Fantasy (NES version)
That's all I can think of right now.

Oh snap. Are these boards gonna turn into a DKC vs. Jungle Beat war?!

**Shredder** · 07-31-2007, 01:39 AM

Unfortunately, I'd have to say Yoshi's Island DS. I feel like I'm the only one who felt it was worthy to be called a sequel to the original.

I love it, too. I guess most people didn't like it because of the cheese factor but it brought more closure to all the characters.

HAHAHA, YES! Bring it on!

*Brodie* · 07-31-2007, 11:22 AM

TMB is just upset that Jungle Beat was more fun than DKC.

The Terror of Death · 07-31-2007, 11:43 AM

Power Rangers SPD.

I also would like to cite a favorite game of mine everybody hates because it was prerendered.

People say it was just a brainless Mario clone. Well guess what? So was about 40% of that generation's releases. Who cares? It looked great, sounded better, and is still fun to play...much more fun than the blister educing Jungle Beat.

I had no idea people didn't like DK. It is still one of my all time favortie games! I alawys figured it was well accepted. Mind blower!

*Drtooth* · 07-31-2007, 01:21 PM

Ehhh... they probably don't like it cuz you can't shoot King K.Rool to death or rape prostitutes or anything....

I got an idea.... Games you hate that everyone loves... stay tuned.

People used to like it, but now they resent it because the graphics were "faked" back in the day. Its irrelevant. It wasn't the renders that made the game. It was the art direction of those renders, and the modern/classic style of the characters combined with great platforming and killer music.

I'm sorry, but I despise Miyamoto's version of DK. The crazy "We're going to replace all the characters with generic Japanese fruity fare because Rare's DK characters don't resonate with modern Japanese youth" stuff can die. The fact is there was no single scenario in that game that offered new gameplay other than slapping your hands raw on the stupid bongos. They just wanted to "Japanize" the game, so they did. It was just Miyamoto enforcing his rule on Rare's creation now that he could since they weren't around anymore.

He could never do anything before because their games made tons of money. He was always resentful because the DKC games outsold Yoshi's Island, but the truth is Yoshi's Island wouldn't have been the game it is without DKC2. I've seen the old version of the game. It looked plastic and generic. Nintendo wanted it pre-rendered. Miyamoto got pissed, and had the game redrawn over a year in the crayon fashion we have now and added the beautiful morphmation into the mix. It was the fact that the man finally had competition that Yoshi's Island became so brilliant and perfect. He always resented though how they rethought his ancient and forgotten character (who he abandoned for a plumber) into something modernized and relevant, so he took the first chance he could get to ruin it. I don't care if Miyamoto invented the name "Donkey Kong". Its not his character anymore. He abandoned it (he didn't even make the third game Donkey Kong 3 at all) for greener pastures, so somebody else took a stab at it and improved it tenfold.

The only consolation I take is that the game bombed and Miyamoto lost. It is fun to play to a certain extent, but I can't look at the game with a straight face for more than 10 minutes. I hate it because its an intentional insult to one of my former favorite series.

Anyway, I'm glad some people get enjoyment out of it.

Well, I was kinda joking, but I can see what you're saying. I liked BOTH games so I'm OK with it all.

Because I post in this section once in three-four months, I have to post something now.

I'm with TMB. I adore DKC series, even the third part, which is apparently widely despised. And never got much into Jungle Beat.

BTW - does liking "Pilotwings" make me lame?

MrOldSchool · 07-31-2007, 03:17 PM

You know something, just because a game sucks doesn't necessarily mean it has low replay value. What are some crappy games that you can't get enough of? Some I know off the top of my head:

Krusty's Fun House (NES)
Kids On Site (Sega CD)
Dark Castle (Genesis)
Quattro Adventure (NES)
Dragon Lance - Heroes of the Lance (NES)
Deadly Towers (NES)
Rollergames (NES)
MUSCLE (NES)
Street Fighter 2010 - The Final Fight (NES)

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-31-2007, 04:08 PM

No it doesn't. Pilotwings is awesome. It doesn't stand up as a sim anymore, but it makes for a great flight arcade game. The fact that there is nothing to kill makes the game so much more challenge. Its a game of skill.

Dude, I couldn't care less about DK so I won't get into this discussion, but the modern tie-wearing DK is Miyamoto's version.

*MrPliggins* · 07-31-2007, 07:40 PM

Goonies II (NES)
Stinger (NES)
Baseball (NES)
Tennis (NES)
Kung Fu (NES)
Pac-man
Pong
The Castlevania Adventure (Gameboy)
TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan (Gameboy)

- Many of these for nostalgic reasons. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between nostalgia and quality.

MrOldSchool · 07-31-2007, 08:09 PM

Stinger was a good game! And it was one of the only Twinbee games released in North America!
