[General Discussion] Titles you just don't get why other people can't get into

The Megaman Legends series, dammit. Cast aside by MM fans because it was 3D and 'not Megaman-y enough' (read, no allegedly-reluctant whuppin' of robot 'characters' so thin they're only defined by their weaponry). Cast aside by otherwise open-minded gamers who've been conditioned by cookie-cutter reviews and sucktastic ad campaigns to believe MM games are, at best, only for MM fans.

It's too bad really, because the games were top-notch. The gameplay was a solid Tomb Raider style offshoot (albeit with somewhat spotty controls in the first), the deliberate cartoon look was inviting, the story often hilarious and sometimes bittersweet, and the characters some of the best ever (The Bonnes, people, the BONNES).

Instead, it got cancelled in mid-story, and ever since the team responsible has been consigned to the super-crappy-yet-more-widely-accepted Battle Network series. Wheee...ee.

EDIT: Oh, and as far as FF8 goes, the first and last disks were fine, but the middle was a damned mess. Yes, the 'orphanage' thing, but also

Spoiler:

'RV campuses, founded by orphanage proprieters and financed by subterranean blobmen, training students in combat for the purpose of keeping an extradimensional witch from possessing witches from this dimension (including the one they keep hidden in space) in her bid to scrunch time so she can...what, exactly? Make things not exist? Whatever...she's basically Gozer with horns anyhow, seeing as she chose Squall's ring as basis for her Destroyer'

There's just all kinds of things wrong there. Also, the Junctioning was easy to abuse if you got it, and hell on Earth if you didn't - very little middle ground.
