[up]I dunno about that. This thread should be about discussing the awesomeness of Superman 64 and Big Rigs. Why must you hate games that you've never played?

Honestly after seeing a "playthrough" of Big Rigs, it actually looks like a fun time-killer; unfortunately, I've heard it crashes your computer and stuff.

Big Rigs really looks that bad.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

I saw a couple of videos on Superman 64, I actually started to get headaches from watching it.

It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.

Playing through Superman myself, I feel that much of the hate toward it is justified. However, while it is a very bad game, I don't think it's as bad as most make it out to be.

So you're saying that this thread should be about discussing games considered to be the worst ever made?

I mean, I don't think Superman is as bad as most do, but it's a far cry from awesome.

Halo Wars needs more love.

And more supporting content.

I still have the game but it feels like the scene is completely dead.

Quest64. I thought the fun battle system made up for the lack of story and NPC interaction.

Mario Party 5. I've seen a lot of people hate on this game for no real reason. 2,3, and 5 were my favorites

Arguably Super Mario 64 is becoming this as in recent years hating on it is the cool thing to do. Same with Pokemon Red and Blue.

I agree with Duffy about Star Fox Assault, since it played quite smoothly, it featured many battle types which added more variety, and while I still prefer 64, Assault was the next best game in the series and I'd honestly say it's nearly as good as 64.

suikoden 4.

yeah, it definately wasnt good, and it wasnt up to the standard of the rest of the series (...barring maybe 1)

but it wasnt awful and it had its good points aswell. such as the kickass headquarters; the massive fucking ship with a everything you could ever want in it. and the final boss looking like that final evolution of turtwig. or snowe's character development. or the incredibly addicting minigames. plus a camera that doesnt entirely suck (fuck you 5!) and an opening song on par with suikoden 3's.

i mean yeah, the designs were usually subpar and there wasnt much weapon variety and half the plot is very hard to find, lots of loading and high encounter rate and the tactician was disappointing in comparison to others, particularly lucretia, and yeah, 4 person battles took away a lot of combinations...

but all of that really only lead to a mediocre game rather than a bad one.

Punky Skunk. The game was really hated for some reason.

All the hate Saints Row 3 is getting about its changes to character creation and the respect system.

DLC as a whole as well. Why complain about something you don't have to pay for?

Show some love.

What I dont get is why you just NEED to go and declare eternal war on COD instead of just letting it and its fans be...

I'll tell you why: Because they won't leave me be. I wouldn't hate Call of Duty nearly as much if its fans weren't always in my face about the stuff I play.

[up][up] Fair point.

You know, I myself belive than the COD fanbase has got to be one of the worst fanbases of any game EVER. Most (Not all, as always, exceptions) fans are just... well... you probably know, stuff like inmatture and just plain annoying.

But, just like I said in the other post, as bad as the fanbase is, is not the fault of the game itself (at least not that I know of), so if anything hate the general fanbase not the game itself... but the again I guess its not your fault either...

And all of this also made me wonder if the fanbase itself is the main reason of why cod is that hated (I dont think its just that thougt).

Again, excusme for my awful English...

EDIT: Oh yeah, by the way, this just in:

BIG RIGS FTW!!!

Superman 64... meh. It seems bad, but not bad in the Big rigs style (aka So Bad Its Good), I mean just plain bad... and thats it.

Final Fantasy XIII and every Sonic Game since Sonic Adventure 2.

Except Sonic2006, which rightfully deserves the hate it gets.

[up][up][up]The thing is, so many people play COD that its fanbase is very, very diverse. And that means that there are many loud obnoxious assholes in the fandom. So that's part of it.

Also, I forgot to mention Star Fox Assault earlier. I preferred it to Star Fox 64 myself, the multiplayer was especially fun.

I have four words that all Tales fans dread: Tales of Symphonia 2.

The game was a 7/10 to me, but some tales fans acted like it killed their mother or something.

Most of the game was good,with the only negatives being the lack of post game, the level caps (WORST. IDEA. EVER.) and the messing around of some of the old TOS 1 characters.

The music, graphics, gameplay, new characters and even the plot (though it gets boring on a 2nd playthrough ill admit that) are just fine in my opinion, so deal with it cool

[up][up] yeah, I guess its just only logical... sadly xD.

Oh, by the way, I also loved Alpha Protocol.

Also, secunding Mario Party. I liked most of 1-7 myself (cant quite defend 8, sorry...). If anything, I would like to say than IMO, 1 and 2 are quite overrated because Nostalgia factors...
