Subject: Games you loved that critics hated

I'll start. Sonic Unleashed. Really liked this game, critics generally gave it a worse score than 06.

Really?

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Dude, what? Critics gave Unleashed way better reviews than 06. You really can't have a game worse than 06. I do have a lot of problems with Unleashed, though. First off, the Sun and Moon dials. I absolutely hate that feature. I also hate the hub worlds with a burning passion. And then there's the most obvious problem I have with the game, the Werehog sections.

They should've eliminated that whole aspect and kept all the levels like daytime stages, because all of them (Excluding Eggman-land) are really good.

My troll sense is tingling.

ZombiU, I'd say. It's a very methodical game but I am really enjoying it.

It's physically impossible to have a game worse than 06.

Well by critics I meant IGN and Gamespot, they both gave it worse scores. Hell, gamespot blatantly lied and said the controls were unresponsive.

And when it comes to the werehog, at this point SEGA still had the mentality that one gameplay style would make people disinterested in it (and even still do) so they made a different one. Did it work? To most, no. But I tolerated them, kinda liked one or two levels and found the music in those levels to be brilliant.

But I agree with what you said about the dials.

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Medal of Honor got TERRIBLE reviews, but I thought it had a better SP and MP than many Call of Duty games.

Spore.

Even though it was dumbed down to the point where nobody liked the game.

In Unleashed, I can't imagen how wonderfully critics would've received it had the game been a straight progression through levels, all of which had the normal Sonic's gameplay style. I mean, Rooftop Run is just amazing in every aspect.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

1. Half-Life 2
2. Mass Effect 3
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Tie between Halo 3 and CoD4
5. Medal of Honor or Spec Ops: The Line

Spec Ops The Line. Damn those fools.

But look at Unleashed did. It revitalised the series. Without it, we wouldn't have had Sonic Colours or Generations.

And it was also a big learning point for Sega regarding different play styles. It was almost a necessary failure for Sega.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.
