Topic: Games everybody dislikes, that you like

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Its a shallow money raking title. It is a degraded rip of the EXE series, which was already pushing the bounds of generic cash cow [parasitic bomb]. The story is even more ridiculous and drawn out than the EXE series.

So you hate it because it's meant to make money for a company JUST LIKE EVERY VIDEO GAME EVER IN EXISTENCE?

[Mirby]

Yeah, that's basically what he said...

[OBJECTION MAN]

So you hate it because it's meant to make money for a company JUST LIKE EVERY VIDEO GAME EVER IN EXISTENCE?

If you really intend to defend the game, don't read half the words in the first sentence only, and then reply to that. It makes you look like a complete idiot.

Do you know the definition of a cash cow? Note other descriptive words and phrases like SHALLOW and DRAWN OUT.

[Mirby]

Yes, we know your opinion on the EXE/SS games. In fact, it only further proves the point where we like them and others dislike them. Don't make me revoke your name!

And every company has a cash cow series. Capcom has this, Nintendo has Pokémon, Sega has Sonic (people do still buy those games), Squeenix has both Dragon Quest AND Final Fantasy... the list goes on and on. They know the franchises are cash cows; why do you think they keep making new installments? Easy money. Even if subseequent games end up shallow and drawn out.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Not every single company, but yes most do. Most successful ones at least. I just wish they'd have not tarnished the Megaman name while doing so. They have Monster Hunter and endless Street Fighter ports to make money.

[Fxeni]

Umm... to be fair, Megaman was already pretty much a cash cow before. I'm not fond of the EXE series either, but to think that that's the point where Megaman became a cash cow is folly

Even though that was essentially the core of your argument?

Okay.

Yes, I know the definition of a cash cow, the question here is: Do you? Because it doesn't mean "something that I don't like for ambiguous, idiotic reasons like 'IT WASTES WHOEVER'S TALENT' so I'll just say its conception was half assed for the sake of making money".

Also note that SHALLOW and DRAWN OUT was always a part of Megaman games. Remember the original Megaman series? No? Oh, I guess Wily wasn't behind every-[tornado fang]ing-thing after all.

[Turian]

I liked X7. That's right, I said it! MEGA MAN X7! It had good 3D sections, with some annoying parts thrown in, but mostly fun, so I like it.

[Mirby]

From the admittedly small amount I've played of it, I liked it... Then again... AXL!

Also, know what else is long and drawn out? Underwater lurching in Legends 2! IT'S SO SLOW!

But the game is epic.

[borockman]

I think I'm one of the lucky few who played Rockman X7, no unbearable voice acting and nice opening intro.

Who need story when you play megaman games anyway.

Pretty much, hell, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say he's been one since the freaking NES era.

[Mirby]

I think the fact that this site exists shows that the series is a cash cow. If there weren't so many different series in the franchise, then there wouldn't be as many fans of each series, and this site probably would never have been founded. Or at least in this form.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Oh, yeah. I forgot one game:

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

I lurve anti-tanks.

Stupid Sturm fanboys.

[Flame]

Star Force was pretty weak yeah. Personally, I find 2 to be the worst. I just really disliked its theme.
the first was interesting as it was new. the 3rd... has it's moments, and the Noise system is an interesting concept.

[Rin]

I Like Star Force 3... very much actually.

Anyway, what game do I like, that everybody dislikes? Hmmm...

If I were to think about it hard enough, then it probably would be Apollo Justice(many people hate it), Sonic Riders(It's fun in two player... kinda), and then there's EXE 5. Which many people hate because of liberation missions.

I like the liberation missions. : <

Also, I kinda like Blood Omen 2. Many seem to hate it, for its stupid [tornado fang]ing plot(lol Vorador is alive even tough he died long time ago).

[Mirby]

I don't mind the liberation missions, myself. A nice strategy touch to it, if you ask me. Plus, the camera moving obviously served as the base for the camera in the JudgeTree comp in EXE6.

[Solar]

I like the liberation missions. : <

I liked liberation missions too, until the last ones and the ones in the Nebula Hole area, then I hated them with passion =/

[Mirby]

Yeah, they're hard... But its satisfying once you beat them.

[The Blind Archer]

Lessee...

Shadow the Hedgehog, Castlevania Judgment, and Soulcalibur Legends are what come to mind immediately.  I guess I could also count Conduit, since most responses I saw to that after being released were "it sucks".

Apollo Justice = Enjoyed it.
Sonic Riders = Enjoyed it... as long as i don't have to listen to Jet speaking.
EXE 5 = Pretty damn fun actually.
Blood Omen 2 = Again pretty damn fun game even if it's totally impossible for it to fit into the timeline, VAE VICTIS!

[OBJECTION MAN]

Okay.

Your reading skills still suck, again.

Sounds like a proper description of Starforce.

Also note that SHALLOW and DRAWN OUT was always a part of Megaman games. Remember the original Megaman series? No? Oh, I guess Wily wasn't behind every-[tornado fang]ing-thing after all.

For a game with 1 page of text tops, the classic series doesn't need to combat being shallow. However the Starforce series with hours of dialog better be doing something good with it. Sadly, they don't. You also failed with drawn out. A classic game that can be cleared in an hour or so is in no way shape or form drawn out. You can't even really tag the X series for that either. For a proper example of ways to not be shallow and drawn out, and still have a good deal of reading; see Legends.

Honestly, this is like debating with a household plant... How dull.

[Mirby]

The whole reason of the EXE/SF games was to give a deeper story! That seems to be the point you're missing. And yes, it is like debating with a household plant; the only difference is that we each see the other as the plant. So let's just stop, because this is going nowhere, and frankly I'm sick of it!

Yeesh. You don't like it, you don't need to constantly repeat the reasons.

[OBJECTION MAN]

So let's just stop, because this is going nowhere, and frankly I'm sick of it!

Agreed.

I got two more games to add to my list: STARTROPICS AND STARTROPICS II: ZODA'S REVENGE. Yeah.

OH MY GOD YOU ARE AWESOME! STARTROPICS ROCKS! ^_^
