Highly Acclaimed Games That ARE NOT Polarizing

Highly Acclaimed Games That ARE NOT Polarizing

in other words, name some Highly Acclaimed Games (Critically) That ARE NOT Polarizing among the consumers.

Like for instance, I think STALKER SOC was overall highly graded by the critics as a whole....but i dont believe there was a real polarizing response from the players...seems people liked it and no one really loathed it.

Contrast this to... Skyrim, MW3, FO3,... u have considerable numbers of players who love them , and those who hate them

For consoles, I know PS3 has Resistance 3

360 has FOrza 4

both are not polarizing as such

Maybe DAO can fit the title Highly Acclaimed Games That ARE NOT Polarizing?

super mario bros. 3

While high quality, I found DAO to be a grind a lot of the time. After a while I was playing it for the sake of playing it (The "I can't stop after 40 hours!" mentality), rather than actually enjoying the game.

Half Life 2 might fit the bill. Possibly C&C/C&C:RA (not the newer rubbish).

Every game is polarizing. MythPro1

Bastion?? Highly acclaimed and not polarizing?

Portal 2, Minecraft, Terraria, Starcraft II... Zubinen

These are pretty good examples. Not saying that everyone loves those games, but the people who purchase them generally know what to expect so they end up enjoying the games.

I got Terraria on sale. Did no research on it so I had no idea what to expect. It sucked imo, I don't know why people like it so much.

It's a pretty long game, you should watch some youtube videos to see what happens the further you get into it. Although to be honest its mainly a multiplayer game for me, so if you don't have a friend who is really into it it might be hard to appreciate

PC: Terraria, Minecraft

PS3: Infamous

360: Alan Wake

How about the bit trip games. I haven't really heard anybody say anything bad about those.

No such thing..I found SOC to be very buggy and kinda...there. To this day I still don't understand what's the rave about it, maybe its the human factor. Then there's Killing Floor which I feel boring very fast compared to left4dead 2, but I seen others who feels the opposite. You can't please everybody, and a game doesn't have to.

Anything that gets lots of critical acclaim is polarizing because lots of people hate things simply because they are popular.shakmaster13

also because everybody has their own likes and dislikes.

bit.trip.runner is really frustrating and lacks the satisfaction of super meat boy or Dark Souls when you perfectly complete a level. You probably haven't heard anything bad about it because noone really played it before HIB4.

It's a boring concept that's been done dozens of times on iphone/tablet software, that I admit is put together very nice to have charm but with a mediocre core to the gameplay.

Terraria sucks and Minecraft is a polarizing game if I've ever seen one.KHAndAnime

Whatabot Witcher 2, t is high scoring, yet minimally polarizing?

Terraria >>>>>>>>>>>> Minecraft
