Let's face it, almost all of us like a game a lot of people seem to trashtalk or dislike, for whatever reason, but we still like the game. It may be a great game to us, it may just pretty good, in the end we still try to defend it. What are some of your games you don't like seeing trashtalked?

Firstly, I'd like to say I only own 5 retail xbox 360 games, as I bought her back in October, so I haven't played many games yet. But my first pick is Infinite Undiscovery, a JRPG from Square Enix.

Hear me out! The lip synch is horrible, okay, I admit that. I'm not sure of the reason..Low budget? Laziness? Who knows. The lips are synched to the japanese voices even in the english version, so obviously it looks a little weird. However, that aside, the game is pretty good. Not amazing, nothing spectacular, but good. The combat is very fun, a mix of FF12 with Star Ocean. The characters are, for the most part, well developed and likeable, with the exception of a few ANNOYING AS SOMETHING ANNOYING ones, and then near the end of the game you get two or three completely pointless characters. I'll stop my rambling here and say it's not bad, it's not great, but it's good... Shouldn't be getting so much bad rep.

Next is Farcry 2... I mean... Why? Why do you think this is bad? Or...How? I mean, the multiplayer could be better, yeah, sure, but the single player is epic! Trust me, I played through it twice. :D

Well that's enough from me. Your turn ^_^

I got my 360 in June, and I have a couple of used games. But I also have The Last Remnant and The Force Unleashed. Almost every single website or magazine gave The Last Remnant a bad score. TLR is another game made by Square Enix. Many things are wrong with it like texture problems, text size and a very, very long story. But these problems are what make a game! By making mistakes, it lets the devolpers know what they should try next time! If you make a "perfect" game, then when another game in that series is made it wont be that much better, and it would just be like playing the same game with different attacks or clothes.....

I love TLR, and if you can put up with loading times and texture problems, im sure any RPG fan would too. I for one do not think that it deserved all of the bad rep.

I LOVE the last remnant. Going for 1000 GS. Installing it makes it much better and just fine to me. I dont want perfection , I want fun. TLR is difficult and fun. Infinite Undiscovery was badass to me too. I can look past the lip synch, the battle system was awesome especially with more then one team next to you at the end. Watching th eother team fight was badass

Too Human I really don't understand why this game got the level of hate it did when it came out while the reviewers trashed it (5.5 here on GS). It isn't perfect, but there are only 2 things that annoyed me with it - occasional problems with the camera, and the valkyrie death scene being unskippable, for which an obvious solution would be - don't die. I have played Too Human longer, and had more fun playing, than I did while completing GTAIV. Neither game deserve 10/10, but Too Human deserved a much better score than 5.5

my first pick is Too Human. sure the voice acting is pretty lame and the graphics aren't too great. but the combat is original and it's VERY fun. nad the leveling and amount of customization overshadows it's flaws in many ways. :D and the next is The Force Unleashed. sure, the game is very short and there are glitches people ALWAYS seem to complain about. but I've never noticed any of them. great story and dialog. the sheer fun and amusement of the game makes you not even notice the bug/glitches :P

Sonic Unleashed on the Xbox 360

It wasn't Perfect but it was good. The night time levels were not as bad as reviewers made it out to be. And I cant believe it got 3.5 on gamespot :o .

It deserves around 7.5

Silent Hill Homecoming by far. The gameplay was refined, better graphics, good story, 5 different endings to extend the life of it, and a great atmosphere. The game deserves at least an 8 or 8.5.

Too Human- the problem with this game was that everyone hyped it so much. Stop hyping! I used to hype games and that's why I hated Halo 3. Ever since, I stoped caring about review scores and previews. I watch vids and I play demos. I decide what I play and no one else decides that for me. Sorry for the rant, long story cut short Too human is not as bad as Gamespot says it is.

I also have to agree with The Force Unleashed.. My only problems with it were the odd glitches(One time one of the bosses literally fell through the floor, forcing me to kill myself), and the short length. But the short time was definitely a fun time.

I'd have to go with Too Human. This game got ripped apart for a few issues that shouldnt have been such a big deal. It seems that every once in a while reviewers decide to trash a game without much justification.

Also, I read a few people put the Darkness, which I've actually never heard anyone say they dislike, it just doesnt seem to get recognized as the awesome game that it is, because a lot of people never played it.

Bullet Witch.

IMO, Gears of War 2 was a 7/10 game, and so was Bullet Witch. I just found Bullet Witch to be a more fun 7/10 game.

I do not know why some of the popular games get the hate. GOW 2 and Halo 3 were fun to play. As for the original question, I think that Far Cry 2 is about the only game for the 360 that i started that I just couldn't bring myself to finish. All the driving around got old REALLY fast. It's too bad because it was one of the games I was looking most forward to this year.

If BioshockOwnz is out there, he may recall a time when I messaged him on XBL asking if he "rented sonic unleashed" because I had read some pretty abysmal things about it. Sorry about that BioshockOwnz, I played it for several hours at a friends house and was deeply surprised at how fun it was. Probably getting for christmas tomorrow! Truly a fun game, don't believe the reviews. If you enjoy Sonic, then you'll enjoy this game.

Perfect Dark Zero. Sure, the campaign wasn't that great, but the multiplayer is. Going co-op is fun, and the Dark Ops modes are very good.

The only reason I liked Perfect Dark Zero was for its bots in multiplayer everything else was bad imo.

gta 4 - it's a great game, it's just that it was the reviewers fault for giving it ridiculously high scores, so people are expecting too much from games. when people got their hands on this game, they were dissapointed because it didn't live up to it's expectation.

the darkness - sure, it's repetitive and short, but it's still a good game. the storyline is great, the graphics are good and it's enjoyable to use the power of the darkness.

There are a few people that hate The Orange Box, and honestly, it's a perfect game, it still looks great (even though some of the games are years old), and it's just plain fun, no scratch that, it's SUPER fun. I love it.

None. Just put it down, sell it, or return it. They're inanimate objects. Some people poured a lot of hours into trying to entertain you, and some people happen to enjoy the game a person may hate. How can you hate something that harmlessly brings enjoyment to the lives of others?

Halo 3 first of all, i don't know why it got so much hate. It was a good game. i didn't feel the campaign was anything special but i it's multiplayer is probably some of the best on the 360. I just seems like it got a lot of hate with no reasoning. Next would be FarCry 2 i guess i could understand it getting old as i haven't even finished the whole game, but the graphics are great and the world they put you in is so immersive and the guns just feel right. I love it. I haven't heard The Orange Box get any hate, but i definitely don't think it gets enough love, it's an amazing game.

Thats because it is. Anyways, Ill say Call of Duty 3. People didnt like it because it was made by Treyarch, and they did a great job. I dont understand why people dont like Treyarch. What, because theyre not Infinity Ward? That makes alot of sense :roll: But yeah, I love it :)

I don't understand why people don't like GTA 4. It's not goofy like the ones before it, but it had an awesome story and great characters. The basic game mechanics were vastly improved too.

I was excited for it and tried the demo, but the basic shooting mechanics were terrible. What good is the terrain changing, if shooting isn't fun?

The media deserved hate for the blatant bias shown in their reviews for GTA IV. Its a decent game but definitely not one to deserve anything more than a 8.5. The other game which is undeserving of hate is NFS: Undercover. Sure its driving is overly-arcadish but its easy difficulty is an obvious response to counter the negative review of its rival, Midnight Club LA being too difficult. Professional reviews these days are as reliable as the stock market, you never knew how much trash is hidden under the glam.
