I’m super curious to hear about games that you personally love but seem to be universally disliked by others. For me, it’s Final Fantasy XV. I invested about 100 hours into the original version at release, before all the DLC and updates came out. I nearly completed it, but unfortunately, I hit a bug on the very last quest that made it impossible to finish. What about you? Which game do you enjoy that most gamers seem to think is terrible?

Bioshock 2 was my jam! Everyone seems to hate it, but I thought it was a much better-polished game than the first. The gameplay loop was fantastic and the story was engaging. I don’t get why it gets so much hate!
Dragon Age: Inquisition gets a lot of flack, but I had an absolute blast with it! Sure, it has its flaws, but the epic-scale battles and character interactions were just great fun for me! What did you all think?
The Outer Worlds definitely seems to get a bad rep, and I loved it! The humor and setting hit the mark for me. I even liked Starfield despite some of the criticisms! Sometimes they don’t live up to the hype, but I had a great time with both. Anyone else feel the same?
I totally agree! The humor in The Outer Worlds was a standout for me. I didn’t mind its length; it was just the right amount for the experience.
I really enjoyed Spore. I think the hype might have ruined it for some people, but since I went in without any high expectations, I found it super fun! I loved going from a tiny organism all the way up to a space-faring civilization. Have any of you played it without the pre-release hype baggage?
Yeah! If you didn’t fall for the marketing trap, Spore really delivers a unique gameplay experience. I picked it up on sale and had a blast with the customization options. Definitely underrated.
I’m with you on Final Fantasy XIII. The combat is like orchestrating chaos, and I appreciate its campy storytelling style. I know it has a mix of opinions, but I really enjoy playing it! How about you?
Same! I think FFXIII is a gem, even if it gets criticized a lot. Once the mechanics open up, it’s really fun!
I think Origins and Inquisition are classics! They both have their own appeals, but I still enjoy them.
