I liked every game that you listed under "everyone hates that I like" category. Sure some I didn't like all that much but they weren't worth hating.

I liked just about every game that you hated, other than Resident Evil. Of course, I loved Suikoden III, Front Mission IV, Xenosaga, Xenogears, Star Ocean 2, and Final Fantasy VIII.

 

[Tsubaki]

Sorry, the second category is harder to quantify since rarely is anything universally hated... but I've heard some pretty negative comments on the ones I've listed. And they're not generally regarded as well as I think they should be.

Eh, maybe. But so many games are praised as OMG TEH AWESOME and then, as the .hack thread reminds us, really aren't so good.

There are many I have always felt were garbage, but were for whatever held in high regard.

I stopped reading at 'Guardian Heroes'.

Yet the games/series' you adore are all Sega/DC-ish.

Of all the Treasure games I own (GuardianH, SilMirage, RS, Mischief Makers, S&P, Bangaioh, Ikaruga, HnI, Tetsuwan Atom), it's my least liked. For the record, I fight beat 'em ups extremely dull, and Treasure ups the yawn factor by making a game out of juggling. Now you're constantly jamming on the attack button. Woo...

I like Treasure games generally, because there's always a unique gameplay element to them. But Guardian Heroes lacks that, and instead just combines genres. Astro Boy GBA is similar in that way, but at least it has more variety with the shooter levels. Neither game stacks up as one of my favs.

And yeah, it's not a company "thing". But I think Sega gets a lot of flack for some of their games because they're atypical. I'd stick Rez in my first list, but I don't really "hate" it. I just like it a lot less than Panzer Dragoon as a rails shooter, and like it a lot less than SC5 series as a game-performance-affects-music-and-visuals game.
