Im just wondering, what games you guys would class as "love or hate" games this gen, im currently playing folklore, but all my friends hate it, and i cant understand why.

and it got me thinking what other games you would class as love or hate, im starting to think MGS is maybe? i for one love it, but there seems to be alot of people determind to spin it as the worst written game ever.

Any thoughts?

Lol every game is a love or hate game... GTA4 got a 10... although there were alot of ppl who didnt like it, MGS4 got a 10 and PS3 haters and those ppl who thought: "na, i'll wait till it comes to pc" hate it. Also Army of 2... i have the game and so many ppl dislike it so much... I DONT C WHY! Killzone 2 also has alot of h8... ppl say this sequel aint gonna b good coz killzone 1 wasnt that gr8... guess they havent seen the vids...

Ah yea, very true. It just seems with some games there is very little middle ground. Few people seem to say "yea it wasnt bad" about the likes of MGS its either "amazing game" or "over-rated waste of money"

Yeh, videos aren't everything though. Remember the whole fiasco about the K2 E3 '05 trailer all being pre-rendered. In the latest issue of Edge they have a preview of K2 and it says to be warned that it's not looking so special after all. It brings nothing new to the genre apart from graphics, which is what should be expected of every game. To be a truly wonderful game, you need something that the others in the genre don't have. We've all seen an FPS with decent graphics before, so another one with a slightly different story isn't going to be anything special at all.

Resistance seems to be a love or hate game. I thought most PS3 owners liked it, until a few weeks back when I noticed people saying it was 'average at best' and such. I love it, and the online is really well done too. The thing is, most games this eneration are just sequels of well established franchises. If they're already on 'Generic Game Iteration 4' then obviously people like it, otherwise there wouldn't have been 3 prequels. We need to have new IPs coming thbrough if we're going to see anything particularly special.

IMO it is the genre that gets love or hate, not games. It is rare to love a game that is under the genre you hate or vice versa.

I hate ALL turn-based games. I hate ALL FPS but before, I love Counter Strike. I play CS 3 hours a day back in 2001.
