Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Even if it were just a differently titled new Tales game, it would have been received much better. But having the expectation of Synphonia tied to it hurt it a lot.

Prey. Still a great game, but shoving the Prey name on it didn't do it any favors at all.

Silent Hill: Downpour

It has it's flaws and glitches, but the story and atmosphere is legit pretty damn good. But it's compared to the likes of the first 3 SH games.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

This game came with my 360 Arcade and I wasn't like a big BK fanboy and I still disliked it enough to immediately go back to the store the next day to buy a new game.

Glad people agree with me. Just simply change characters names and the only flak it probably woulda got was it borrowing from dmc1s story.

Yeah I love 12 but it probably would have been largely ignored and quickly forgotten about without final fantasy on the cover. Had it been a spin off aka non numbered main entry it may have cut out a lot of the hate it initially got though.

I personally feel the title final fantasy is both a blessing and a curse. It almost gurantees the game will sale but it almost also gurantees the vocal minority ia gonna screech loudly on the internet about how awful it is.

Shame they dont remake it. It was a fun game. What made it bad could be easily fixed. More/easier to understand hints more boss fights and boss fights that actually pose some sort of a challenge
(Note to those that havent played it i dont mean hard. Just that the bosses literally posed zero challenge.)

Killing Dracula with a garlic bulb is still less far silly than some the stuff possible in SOTN.

I've never got the hatred for RE5, it was just unfortunate to follow RE4.

I'll give you a few reverses of this topic. A game that wouldn't have got such great reviews if NOT for the ip. Breath of the wild. Being a Zelda game give it an extra 2 points out of 10 for me in most the reviews I saw. It was/is a good game, but not a great one and definitely not a great Zelda.

Having Hideo Kojima presents... Also stopped Death Stranding from an absolute mauling, I've never ever EVER seen so many people say they hate a game, or that it's boring, only to then give it a good score anyway or to recommend it regardless. If that game had come from an unknown studio, it would have been panned to high heaven with a 40% or so Metacritic. Everyone loves to rim Kojima though.

Fallout 4.

I seriously doubt most players would be so critical of it if they did not compare it all the time to Fallout: New Vegas and a few other FPS titles. Yes, it has flaws, but it was still a solid game that had some ridiculous fans calling it absolutely terrible or the worst game ever.
