    I thought the gameplay in the first Wild Arms was much better, but other than that I liked 2 more.

    Although my favorite Wild Arms is Alter Code F, the remake of the first game.
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    I rescind my earlier statement; SimLife was a pretty terrible game but I played it a lot, and enjoyed it.

    Hm. I can't quite grasp this thread. A game that you agree is bad but think is good? I mean, I guess every single game has something bad in it, but if the good aspects outweigh the bad aspects doesn't that make it a good game? If the bad aspects outweigh the good... why would you want to play it? Does not compute.

    HOWEVER, I guess a lot of people would consider Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (the first one, for the GameCube) to be a bad game because the story was pretty non-existent up until the very end, and you were forced to replay dungeons multiple times. And while it was a mutiplayer, each person had to have their own GBA to play. While I can agree those are all detriments... it was so damn fun to play!

    Revelations Persona A.K.A Persona 1 fits this. It has some great elements and some not so great elements. The combat system is unique but has some pretty obnoxious elements like your party position affects what he can hit, meaning the guy on the far left can't hit anything on the far right with a melee attack. Conversation system is a bit random on what works and what doesn't...

    Also, the game does a pretty piss poor job explaining affinity. Later installments simplify it with just Arcana but P1 gives everything a sub-affinity class that affects things. So Suddenly, my Chariot Arcana affinity character only has a Good rating on a Chariot type Persona cause the persona's subtype is electricity?

    The story is more gnarm and B-Movie goofiness than actual gripping storytelling, though the Snow Queen quest is a bit better. The writing is just awful, even with the PSP ports revamped script, you just discover P1 had a pretty awful writer to begin with, but it does make the game unintentionally funny and I find that endearing about it.

    Its a mediocre title at best, and its just kind of sad compared to its sequels which are all substantially better. I feel P1's main fault is simply its very unpolished nature cause P2 keeps a few elements but actually does it in a fun and engaging way.

    Also lord of the rings return of the king is a smurfing terrible game... but I love it so much. It's so addicting but it does so many things wrong.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    I disagree. I actually think it's a perfectly fine old-school action game. Got no issues with it. It's fun, epic, and generally cool.

    That's my typical response to this sort of question but then I realized that some games can be addictive and thus enjoyable in a way whilst not being that valuable in the long run! If that makes any sense~

    The gamecube one says otherwise. I haven't played the other versions. I have to say though, I had a hellofatime on it.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
