I thought of another....
Just Cause 2 - The plot is abysmal and the dialogue is laughable, but damn is it ever fun to just mess around in that world. It's also a great collection fest. This combination makes it just fun to play.

I love SaGa Frontier 2. I would hardly call it a bad game or worth mentioning in this topic. I thought its story over generations was particularly well done.Originally Posted by Bert
SaGa Frontier has a maximum of five characters used during battle. Final Fantasy IV has a maxmimum of five characters used during battle, too. Are you thinking of another game, maybe? SaGa Frontier was notable in the fact that you could have up to fifteen characters recruited in a scenario, but only five characters could be used at a time in battle.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I am the only person on earth who like playing State of Emergency. What a terrible terrible game.
My brother and I so loved this game. Generally we weren't into fighting games at all, but this one got our attention(as did the original Bushido Blade). We liked Evil Zone so much that even though it wasn't buyable in our area at all, we rented it, repeatedly from the renting shop(which was the only place within driving distance that seemed to have it in stock). However, we never did get around to buying it. By the time the PS1 was losing steam enough that they were selling their PS1 games we didn't have funds to put into gaming :/.
Hmm... as a contribution. I am not sure what everyone else thinks of this one, but Theme Hospital is a relatively fun game that has a whole friggin list of things I would 'fix' with it. But like Evil Zone I would more likely call it Average than I would Bad.
STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
those gba pokemon games. and mabey the newer ones for the ds too. i mean the game is horrible yet addicting
yes, im wasting my teenage years playing final fantasy. no, that's a good thing.
I don't think it's a bad game - it's just... a silly game. Easily one of the guiltiest pleasures I've ever had the, er, pleasure of playing. It's an absolute ton of fun and a devourer of free time.
As for outright bad games, there probably aren't a lot that I like.
Although the first not-very-good games that I still enjoy that came to my mind was Final Fantasy VIII. A nightmare of balance and of just about everything, but smurf if I don't still get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I have no idea why.

Some of Nippon Ichi's and Atlus's less esteemed franchises have been known to entertain me.
Wasn't really sure which of the two threads to put this in, since it could fit in either, but I'll stick it here.
FFXII: Radiant Wings
Now, I don't love this game. But I do like a lot about it. The characters are interesting (since they actually, y'know, wrote Vaan into the story, even he is good) and the world is fun and engaging. I liked rebuilding my airship, I liked exploring the relationships with all the various characters you meet, and I liked that characters themselves.
There is, however, one problem. One huge, overarching problem. The game itself sucks. RTS games on a console have never been a good idea, and on a handheld they are even worse. Micro is impossible, even quick groupings cripple playability and tactics. Most battles consist of simple massed firepower from your forces. Until the end of the game where that strategy fails due to bosses having the ability to insta kill every one of your minions within a hundred yards, which leaves you with precious few alternatives. The gameplay is absolutely horrendous.
Had Square stuck with an RPG format, or even turn-based strategy, I would have liked this game. As it is... I just can't play it anymore. Which makes me sad, because it had a lot of character and story potential.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
I keep forgetting to come back to this thread and point out that Clive Barker's Jericho is an awesome game despite how horrible it is by FPS standards. It got generally poor reviews, but I love it. Granted, there's not a lot of enemies, so it can get a little repetitive, but I love the atmosphere the characters and characterization, the grotesque level design, and to an extent, I really like the story, even if it is a little contrived. It seems very comicbook-like, and very 80s demonic horror movie'ish. Only met a few other people who enjoyed it, but most of the internet and FPS community hate it ^_^
I couldn't look a person in the face and tell them The Force Unleashed was anything more than mediocre at best, but my nerdy boner for the Star Wars universe makes me overlook all flaws it has an action title.
There were a lot of games in the Sega Genesis Collection that I owned for a couple of months. Some of the games I was familiar with, others I never thought I play or even look at twice. But I played all of them. Phantasy Star, Ristar, Alex Kidd, Altered Beast... I thought they were bad games, but I continued playing them nonetheless. I had to sell the collection before I finished Phantasy Star and Ristar. Another game, Sword of Vermillion, I felt the boss battles were broken, but I liked the game anyway.
Ephemeral Fantasia, Eternal Ring, EverGrace, Falling Stars... Okay, I actually hate Falling Stars, I only played it through 'cause I paid for it and wanted to see what would be unlocked. It really does just suck though.
I like Shenmue a lot and although it's been years since I played it, I thought it was pretty excellent on the whole.
I can't really think of anything exceptionally bad that I've liked. My friends, however, really enjoyed Earth Defence Force and I'll never for the life of me fathom why.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I loved this game so much. <3
Also. All the games in the Dynasty Warriors series.
Legend of Dragoon. Even thinking about that broken game makes me cringe and smile at the same time. You think you've heard bad voice acting? if you haven't played LoD you have not. One playthrough, and you will weep with joy for Tidus' whiny emo voice in FFX. And the totally useless (yet somehow badass still) dragoon transformation gimmick. wow. terrible.
Oh, and i cannot forget True Crime: Streets of LA. Hate me all you want, for some sick reason i enjoyed this game. I equate it with people enjoying Meth, or hookers. It's shameful and wrong, but you can't deny what you enjoy. Horrible, Horrible game though.
