Games you like that people DESPISE

Super Mario Sunshine
People thought the equipment Mario used was gimmickey, but the gameplay was on par for Mario's high standards and the visuals and music were nice. Perhaps because of the last 3D Mario game's praise, this one was rated too poorly.

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
I think people are gaining an appreciation for this one more, but from the start, I was caught up in the story and dungeons. The visuals were different, but certainly nothing I felt was "childish." Still one of my favorite Zelda games. Certainly more appealing than Twilight Princess's muddy look.

Lost Odyssey
Few people played this, but when I got a 360, I wanted to try RPGs. There were none that anyone recommended. I tried it and had one or two people call it a "Final Fantasy ripoff." Its felt more like a Xeno series game at times, but had a lot of the traditional RPG elements that kept me hooked. Also nice to have the hero a badass from the start.

Diablo 3
Sure it didn't have the rune words or charms. The skill trees weren't as complex. Diablo 3 still challenged players and addressed balance (for the mostpart). Diablo 2 wasn't really highly rated until its expansion and D3 has added Paragon leveling to let players grind. Sure the Auction House is being cited as its biggest downfall, but I understand either stuffing mobs with loot until you bleed legendaries or giving players a way to better access them. I like the game, so fuck you.

How ya doing, buddy?
