[General Discussion] Games that are supposed to be really bad but you like

A lot of the later original Megaman games tend to get a bad rap...I enjoy 5-8 every bit as much as 1-4 (with 7 being my personal favorite). MM8 was a key game for me in deciding to get a Playstation. Also, I have nothing but praise for the often-maligned MMX5, but every X game after that deserves what it gets...

Also, Wild Arms 2...Look past the horrendous graphics and it's a solid character-driven RPG. Not many RPG's have done "traditional" right like WA2 did.

I also feel compelled to mention ET for the Atari 2600...Anyone who believes the mainstream videogame press that this game caused the great crash of 1983 is an idiot because this game was not that terrible (especially compared to all of the other junk available at the time). Yes, you fall into pits, but they're easy to get out of...You HOLD THE BUTTON and move ET out of them once the screen transitions back to the overworld. If you release it too early, you WILL fall back into it. Anyway, it's like an extremely primitive Legend of Zelda, which is pretty cool. Not to mention one of the few Atari 2600 games with an ending.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah yes...Sonic Heroes. Slipped my mind how hated that game is. For something with so many flaws (camera, targeting), it sure is a lot of fun. Casino levels FTW.

I was also a fan of Legaia 1 as well...It was a tad slow, but it was definitely a welcome RPG with some difficulty behind it. Even having levels up to speed didn't gaurantee a win against bosses...Climbing that tower with the fog is one of my favorite RPG dungeons.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
