Board 8 > What are some games critics didn't like much, but fans loved?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Y'know, stuff like The Legend of Dragoon, or God Hand. I think it's really interesting when games get varied responses like that.

Now now, the general public also hates legend of Dragoon too, rightfully so.

You can just say "cult games" you know.

God Hand is pretty much the definition of this.

Also I'm pretty sure the bloody roar series period defines this.

Kid Icarus Uprising. The critics all pretty much whined about the controls and marked the score down majorly solely on that one factor. The fans love the game though.

Deadly Premonition. Critics hated it, but it became a cult classic.

Heh, Wikipedia says it won the Guinness World Record for "Most Critically Polarizing Survival Horror Game." That's oddly specific, but probably true.

Wait, what

The last two football games (Madden and NCAA) averaged around 80.
NHL sits at about 86.
MLB The Show at 87
NBA at 90.

All 2012 editions.

Sports games generally review from good to great. If anything, it's their reader reviews that suffer.

Alpha Protocol and Nier are two great cases of this.

Guinness has tons of hilariously specific records in their video game edition. It's basically "Pay us to give your game some advertisement and we'll make up a record for you."

Especially the sixth one which was easily on par with 3.
