Has anyone bought say, an older game that's bad simply for the infamy/design/collection? Pirate Nintendo games from Wisdom Tree/Color Dreams come in awesome bright blue cartridges and sometimes playing them can be a real exercise in skill because of bad design, like Menace Beach. Plus I encourage anyone to try and play the insane American version of Bayou Billy or Silver Surfer, the two hardest games ever made.
Oh, and those old infamous licensed games from LJN are horrible but sometimes the music is awesome like X-Men.

But on the rare chance that a game is just awful when I was expecting it to be good/decent, I'll either just stop playing it and sell it/bury it or I'll force myself to finish it. I'm a sadist like that. It's what I did with Assassin's Creed. Crap game, but still finished it.
That's really too bad. There are certain games that get a shit reputation and bad reviews because they have a steep learning curve or because the control takes a bit to get used to but are actually really good once you get into them. Some examples are Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Star Fox Assault, Zoda's Revenge, and Street Fighter 2010

and dont forget Psychic Force.. gamepro took a steaming shit on that game.. and it was honestly one of the better fighters I've played.. I stopped really reading reviews after that and went more for the opinions of friends
and then there are games which get perfect 100, and turn out to be ABSOLUTE SHIT!
examples, resident evil 4 {it wasnt revolutionary, it was SHIT}
final fantasy 12{yeah right, this pile of crap shud never have existed, it shits on the face of the entire series. it not INNOVATIVE, its crap}
I agree.
As a FF fanatic, the mere fact that it got excellent reviews by so-called "expert gamers" disgusts me.
Shit, that game was one of the CDs I broke

if anything that wud indicate ur inability to appreciate anything other than first person shooters. re 1, 2, 3 were AMAZING games, and code veronica was awesome in its own right.
the ONLY reason res eve 4 sold was because of childish first person shooter fans and people thinking the SCREENSHOTS looked great. obviously, the game is made to make the screen shots loook great, in reality though, it severely limites vision of the surounding, which combined with bad aiming, a BULLSHIT storyline, crapphy physics and no variet, created the WORST resident evil, which shud have had no connection with games from the past.
FPS shooter fans have nothint to do with it since the game is all in Tthird person and as for the the screenshots they look great
And the other Resident Evil's did'nt limit the vision of the Surroundings with all the pre-redered rooms and such, Resident Evil 4 and 5 gives you more freedom
Bad aiming pffft what a load of crap its not that hard to master
Which should have.........but it does because the original creator of the other games did Resi 4
sounds like you have Nostalgia problem with the other games all they did was move things foward rather then be stuck in the past with the same old things besides Resi 4 got new people into the series again
I don't see how it shits on the entire series and not being innovative after all it is different exactly like rest of the games.

1. First of all, my inability to appreciate anything but FPS'? Sir, I would not make random baseless accusations at people, I do not prefer any specific genre of games, I simply prefer GOOD games. 1, 2, 3 were alright, never played CV I admit, but RE4 is better.
2. FPS fans? The game had virtually no relation to any FPS, except having guns in it.
Limits vision of surroundings? Bad aiming? Sir, a game isn't bad just because you suck at it.
Bullshit storyline? Okay...I'm just going to have to say this, the entire collective RE storyline is okay at best. They are not well-known for storyline. Especially RE5. Lol wtf was that shit?
