These infamously divisive games are sometimes defined by the hate that they never really deserved.
Opinions will always vary as they are meant to do.
At this point, its clear those arguments will probably never be settled.
So why even bring this topic up?
However, time and perspective can often cool even the most heated views.
Like every other game, these titles will never be universally beloved.
Still, others considered it to be a masterpiece that elevated the horror genre in bold and necessary ways.
The arguments over this thinly veiledTwin Peakstribute eventually earned it astrange spotin the Guinness Book of World Records.
That question lingers over the so-called walking simulator genre to this day.
To be fair, it is largely inferior to those titles that it is clearly built upon.
The originalFinal Fantasy 7you know and love will still always be there for you.
However,Infinite Warfareis actually quite good.
Many wantedChrono Crossto beChrono Trigger 2, and…well,can you blame them?
However, it was never meant to be that game, and it never will be.
Yet, its that very quality that helps make this such a truly special gaming experience.
It can be a lot.
That notoriously slow opening is actually the prelude to one of the series most gripping and fascinating narratives.
Honestly, I agree with just about all of those criticisms.
We didnt know how good we had it.
It hurt to watch someone other than Remedy make aMax Paynegame.
That pain didnt go away the moment I saw this sequels new setting and style.
Truth be told, Im still not entirely sold on it.
That combat also shines in the gamesunderrated multiplayer modes(which are sadly largely unavailable today).
Dark Souls 2
Generally speaking,Dark Souls 2is considered to be the weakest of the FromSoftware Soulsborne lineup.
It almost certainly is.
Hell, it wasnt even directed by the legendary Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Compared to most other major games, though,Dark Souls 2is at least some kind of masterpiece.
Most of my defenses of the game still hold true through its recent remaster.
However, many of the more popular criticisms of the game also remain valid.
Yet, I loveSkyward Swordand always will.
Its story may be strangely paced, but its emotional and important to the often confusingLegend of Zeldachronology.
Thats the thing aboutSkyward Sword.
There are those who hate this game because it features a massive plot twist involving a beloved major character.
