Tell Us Dammit: Games You Love That Everyone Hates

I’m sure we’ve done this one before, but why not do it again. What are some of the games you love that everyone else seems to dislike?

My list is mostly full of under-appreciated (I think) sequels.

Like Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty. This game tends to get a bad rap among those who love the Metal Gear Solid series. It’s the one after the original that everyone fell for. It’s the game before the quote-on-quote ‘best’ Metal Gear Solid, Snake Eater. It’s also the most self-indulgent Metal Gear Solid. It’s the one with the most ridiculously long cut-scenes.

But despite that. Despite that…

It’s still a remarkably clever video game with some interesting (admittedly ham-fisted) things to say about digital culture. The Tanker level may still be one of my favourite video game sections of all-time. Back then it felt like a revolution.

So Metal Gear Solid 2 is my choice. What’s yours?
