Games you like that people DESPISE

Suikoden III. I never really understood the hatred for this game. I liked it quite a lot. It was nice having 3 main characters each with their own story that eventually linked up at the end. I mean come on, 4 true rune users in one party, hell yeah!

Resident Evil 6 is another good one. While I understand the complaints about it using too many QTE and the occasional annoying camera view, it really isnt as bad as people make it out to be.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter probably deserves to be here too. I am pretty sure most people didnt care for the drastic change from the previous breath of fire games, especially the SOL restore and dragon gauge filling = game over thing. But damnit was it good.

How ya doing, buddy?

I never really knew that people were disappointed past the hoth speeder level. I think it was a good game too, hell I bought it after renting it twice. A shame people gave up on it so fast, since the best levels are gall spaceport and the last mission, that battle was really impressive at the time, The imperial star destroyer the millions of fights going on with the tie fighters and x-wings and you had to fly through this really small corridor to blow up power cells, It felt like a intense battle, you know?

I'm a huge fan of the original .Hack series as well as .Hack//G.U., but I can understand why they're not very popular. The first series' battle system was inconvenient and repetitive among other issues, and the second series suffered from too wide of a gap between levels. Anything 2-3 levels higher couldn't really be damaged even if it wasn't able to hurt you very much either. GU also got pretty silly with how seriously players took ordinary player killing. Of course, there was also the annoyance of paying full price for 3-4 separate, short games to get the full story with even more of it spread out among anime, manga, and books. Even with all of its issues I'm still pretty obsessive about everything .Hack. I could go on at length about its music, story, and characters, but my favorite thing about the series was its knack for cliffhangers. GU Vol. 2 even went so far as to have a convincing false credits roll before going into the real cliffhanger disguised as one of the usual post-game quests.

I think the only reason they weren't as popular was because of what you said, that you had to buy 4 and 3 games to get to the ending. Doesnt go well with people. Only ones that get away with that now is Blizzard with Starcraft 2, which is the real ripoff.

I wouldnt mind another .hack series tbh, both a game and a anime. I bought them all as well, all 7 of them. I think the best parts was the stuff that happend on the outside you know? the bulletin boards that slowly got flooded with missing persons and admins deleting posts, and the news report videos and shit, they even added that silly card game that was actually pretty fun, Crimson, I remember that no deck you made was ever perfect, there would always be a point to where you had to change something around to progress.

I wouldnt really call each chapter of a .hack game short. Each one was around 40 hours give or take, if you did everything, which is alright for what they did with it in my book. The thing that kinda annoyed me about the games was that all those endgame weapons you got in each game were pretty much useless right away in the next installment. And some of those took some real effort to get!

Definitely a unique series. I'm pretty sure there will be another, I have no doubt of that.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Haha, I totally forgot about that! I dont remember it exactly but I'm pretty sure you could find them throughout the game in chests and stuff. I remember I had enough to get me by but that's because you got used to not saving every 5 minutes in that game.

And the game was hard alright, got even harder at the end of the game when all the enemies got that shield that absorbed damage. I think the way it worked is each shield absorbed a certain amount and when your attack combined did more then the shield then finally you could start doing some damage, a real pain in the ass. It restored every turn as well I think.
