There's a good game hidden under what we got! :(

Plus, sarcastic Hawke is hilarious. If wildly inappropriate at times.

FF8 is considered a black sheep? I legitimately preferred it over 7 and 9. Surely the true black sheep would be X-2 or 12?
8 is the black sheep of the PlayStation era games.

Assassins Creed 3. That game really connected with me. I had many playthroughs of it. It's got a lot of issues to be sure, but I love it.

I find myself liking most black sheep games. I don't really go into things with expectations and it helps you just enjoy what's there.

Doom3
Resident Evil 6
DmC
Prototype 2
Saints Row 4 (I think people came around to this)
Etc.

Elizabeth is one of the best NPC partners ever, in the game's defense. Tosses you a lot of valuable resources.

Final Fantasy II. It is widely regarded as the worst final fantasy due to the design decisions, but I consider it to be a great game.
It's basically SaGa 0. The leveling is broken, but they transitioned it to those games and improved the formula

Battlefield Vietnam
Best sniping in the Battlefield series, the vehicle radio function was fun to fuck around with, on certain maps you could just plop a spawn point for the Viet Cong team anywhere

Oh man I loved BV

Phantasy Star 3

Most people consider it the worst of the first 4 PS games but it's my favorite. Love the character art.

I would say I ultimately enjoyed Bioshock Infinite, in spite of the gameplay blandification and not great implications of the narrative.

I really like Chain of Memories and the card combat in it.

I often feel very alone.
Same, it's one of my favorite GBA games and I liked the remake too.

Played Doom 3 on VR via Quest 2 mod (way better than that godawful PSVR port) and it translates so well as a VR game it hurts

As for black sheep, my favorite Assassins Creed is still 3. I also like

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
FFXIII-2 (motherfuck that ending though)
Disgaea 2

Breath of Fire 5 DQ is a good game that most people just didn't give a fair chance IMO

No it's fucking not.

I liked True Crime: New York City, if you also count Sleeping Dogs as a spiritual successor of the series.

edit: also, I guess Max Payne 3 is seen as being the black sheep in the series, by many, when it's the best one, IMO.
