Unfortunately, English speakers just end up hearing it as something along the lines of [[WebVideo/ProJared "Yes, that's enigmatic. Are you he? You're a pimp!"]], which maybe could have worked as WordSaladHorror if it didn't sound absolutely ridiculous.

* AwesomeMusic: The developers apparently chose just one thing to do well. The Volcanic dungeon music stands out, almost making the most annoying dungeon in the game tolerable!

* {{Sequelitis}}: About the kindest thing that you can say about ''Virtual Hydlide'' is that it had some neat concepts -- including a randomly-generated open world -- that came a console generation or two too early to really do them justice. Other than that, it suffers from ugly, photographic cut-out graphics that are rendered at an abysmal frame-rate even by UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn standards, unresponsive controls, LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading, and poor quest and dungeon design.

* SoBadItsGoodSoBadItsGood: Between its atrocious framerate, awkward controls, ugly and mismatched visuals, kitschy FMV cutscenes, janky combat, player-unfriendly mechanics such as cursed items and requiring certain weapons/items to clear parts of the game without being instructed to obtain them, among other things, it's certainly a game you can have fun with how bad it is.
