Phaseknox Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The following current gen games tend to receive hate from a lot of critics and/or gamers, but I like them: Assassin's Creed Unity Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Darksiders III Dragon Age: Inquisition Fallout 4 Final Fantasy XV Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Killzone: Shadow Fall Mafia III Mass Effect: Andromeda Mirror's Edge: Catalyst Need For Speed: Payback The Order 1886 Rage 2 Shenmue III Are there any hated current gen games that you like?

Best Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Red Dead Redemption 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don’t think I have anything that controversial Unity - I didn’t play it when it came out so didn’t have bug issues and I enjoy AC stuff. Driveclub - it deserved all the shit it got. But once I eventually played it I actually liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggit Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Mass Effect Andromeda. I enjoyed the game, even if it was janky as fuck. Even with a few crashes, two instances if corrupt saves that would load indefinitely (where I also discovered the game autosaves while loading the save), audio randomly being muted, occasional flickering textures, a few broken missions where I couldn't scan objects that needed to be scanned, and a bunch of other things I've erased from memory.... Yeah, I still enjoyed ME Andromeda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Days Gone Xenoblade 2 Yooka-Laylee Rime Not sure the hate is so universal for these. But the detractors are very vocal. Including those that haven’t played them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hotline Miami 2 Basically the sequel 'nobody wanted' apparently? I really love this game. The Evil Within I just really like this game and most people's issues with it seem to be what I like about it. It's silly, demented, has a dumb story and is almost exclusively concerned with being a carnival ride of cool gameplay. One of those games I didn't pick up until it was like $10 used and I kept waiting for it to suck based on the reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man_of_X Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 ME Andromeda for sure. It doesn't have the magic of the trilogy which kept me playing those over and over again, but it was very solid. AC Unity also is easily one of the better Assassin's Creed games. If you play it all patched up, it's very good and has none of the issues that plagued its launch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Being older this generation, I've not had as much time to play games (and in turn, play bad games) so I can't really think of any...maybe Zombie U? I had a great time with the game and it was the first Wii U game that I completed. I remember at the time the game receiving criticism for how long it took to kill enemies and due to the way death was handled, a lack of engagement with the characters. Regardless though, it was an interesting take on the Zombie genre and a great example of using the Wii U gamepad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Does Elder Scrolls Online count? I mean, sure its been fairly successful and has a pretty big player base, but you wouldnt know it by asking anyone lol. I've probably put a good 700 hours into it over the past six years or so. Also Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It just wasnt a good game, but for some reason it clicked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its weird and clunky at first, but once you understand the way the game works it was actually pretty brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heydude93 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I used to get shit for saying The Evil Within is a better game than Resident Evil 4. It's true though. It took what made RE4 a good game and modernized it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddieMercury Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't hate The Evil Within, but the second game is far, far better. I don't know if this qualifies because it's not this gen and it was lauded on release, but people seem to have turned hard on Bioshock Infinite, which I think is pretty amazing. I played through it recently as part of the Bioshock Collection and though it's not as good as the first one, the environments are amazing and the moment-to-moment gameplay is the best of the three in my opinion.

Slug Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I liked FFXV. It started weak but turned into a real fun game. I didn't realize Fallout 4 was hated...I thought it was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most would probably be considered mediocre because gamer and video game review logic often denotes a 7.0 is too bad to be worth playing. It's tough to think of many games with actual terrible reviews (5.5 or lower) and word of mouth that are worth playing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally undeserved, and the majority public reception now tends to disagree with that. But that’s because the strange exception people took to its existence finally died down.

5timechamp Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I gave Ghost Recon Breakpoint more time than it probably deserved before i finally accepted that it just wasnt going to click with me... ... now i havent played with the new “realism” options, i just wont venture in because frankly its the overall gameplay loop thats busted... it has bad enemy AI.. After much resistance i have now started working through assassins creed unity.. there have been some cool ideas and the game is definitely growing on me despite the downgraded parkour..

Paperclyp Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You can count me in on Fallout 4. I think it’s really good, but people are burnt out on the formula. Can’t blame them, but I wasn’t at the time. Red Dead certainly had its haters on this forum, but I enjoyed that. I’m blanking on others right now. Was battlefield 4 well received? I fucking love that game and seem to remember it took a lot of flack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I felt (as I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2) that it would be a fantastic game to be 15-16 and play through. Have all the time in the world, really invest in the world, complete every side mission, git gud at online For me, it was a good story wrapped up in an OK game.
