Games you like that people DESPISE

I'm really glad you mentioned Castlevania 64. I actually really enjoyed the game. I beat it with both characters. I have very fond memories of playing through the game with my childhood friend. Certainly not the exquisite masterpiece that SOTN is, but it still has its charm. I suppose the transition to 3D could have been better and the camera was a bit wonky, but it had R targetting and a great final boss sequence.

My other gaming guilty pleasure is .hack//infection series. I know there was a lot of hype prior to the game coming out, but I really enjoyed the game a lot. Unlike other rpgs, status effects were actually useful and I liked the ingame trading system to get better gear and loot.

I would also like to echo Final Fantasy VIII. Honestly, I didn't hate it although its so easy to make fun of. I replayed it not too long ago and still enjoyed it although I don't think it aged particularly well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dragon Quarter is a fantastic game. I forgot to mention that but really had me engrossed from start to finish. Too bad Capcom decided to bury that series. Don't even talk to me about BoF 6

There's nowhere I can't reach.
