P.N.0.3 is a good game darn it. 
Because humans are funny things. Despite knowing that something is bad, despite knowing that there's no reason for you to like it, you sometimes have fun with it.
Since Video games are about fun, you know, even if you know the game is bad, you can still somehow find fun despite it.

The entire Dynasty Warriors series.
Also, Knights & Merchants, or AD&D Iron & Blood. (The last one is one of the worst early 3D fighters ever made.)

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, for obvious reasons.
I was expecting a decent game of volleyball when I paid $50 for it. Thankfully EB still had their return policy. When I picked it back up for $5, it was worth it
+1 Disaster Report, Shenmue, Shenmue 2. It's just hard for me to subjectively say the Shenmue games are good

I guess it gets down to how much you mentally separate "this is a game comprised of good gaming elements" and "this game entertains me"?Amir0x said:
For example, if you were to somehow enjoy a game with random battles on the Wii that used lots of waggle. It's a mess of a concept though because it attacks the games from the "what is good and bad?" and "What is enjoyable?" angles. Look at poor Himuro. He's about to get bent over.
Enticing!
Awesome I thought I was the only one.Beezy said:

Rising Zan - PSX
Any Resident Evil before 4's revamp, love the atmosphere and I feel the odd controls add to the tension

Really made me want to try the NGC version

I loved Quest 64 when I was young. It was probably one of my favorite RPGs at the time.
Now, not so much...

I can love a bad game if it has a theme that I really dig. For instance at the moment I'm really enjoying Monster Madness on 360. I tried the demo recently and went out and bought it a few days later, knowing full well all the shit that it's got and how broken some of the gameplay is. I just love the theme and graphic style. It's a great game (to me).
And I was the only person to vote for Jericho in the 2007 GAF GOTYs. Not much more needs to be said really.

I can say I like the 3D Castlevanias for this very reason, but I'd be lying to call them my favorite anything.

Rival Turf was good, but I don't want to go back to it now and ruin my childhood. Also, Brawl Brothers was fantastic in the same awkward way. Not to mention Sonic Blast Man... :lol

For whatever reason, I really liked True Crime: Streets of LA. Never actually played the New York one though - but that looked a little different, a bit more serious, than the first one.

Bubsy 3D. I played that shit for like 500 hours.

Last Battle (aka Hokuto no Ken aka Fist of the North Star) for the Genesis. That game is terrible. Horrible. Disgustingly bad. But I love it, and I don't know why. I even loved it before I knew what Fist of the North Star was, and I love that too (maybe as a result)
I think I'm going to go play it again

P.N.03 - All of the "bad" elements come together in such a way that it makes the game actually good. The repetitive environments and somewhat bland art style fits the tone of the game completely. I really liked the story too even though it was about a paragraph long but it still kept me pretty entertained and the music is effing godly (Level 4 > All). It's hard to say what I would change about it because, as broken as everything is, it comes together in such a way that it made the game a blast for me to play.
Gunvalkyrie - I don't even consider this a bad game, just very n00b unfriendly. The level design seems to go completely against the base mechanics but after some time playing it, you start to see what the developers were going for. The controls were awesome too, screw what anyone else says.

Yeah but see if it used lots of waggle and random battles, it would be inherently bad... and therefore I wouldn't like it!
I just don't know. I guess that one dude playing through Dragonball Budokai to satisfy his Goku fetishism is the most convincing use of the thread's question, but otherwise it seems bizarre to say you like something that you think is bad. Basically like a way to say you like something while protecting yourself from arguments by "agreeing" with the general consensus on a title. Grow a pair, I say!

The average highest damage per single combo a character can do in MK2 is ~85%, and that's only because a few of them don't have multiple infinites. It is basically unplayable as a real fighting game unless you invent a few volumes worth of artificial rules, but still I fucking love it.

The only reason I haven't traded in or sold King Arthur is because when you shoot guys with fire arrows, the scream makes me laugh every time. :lol That and it has horses which was a pretty cool addition to an average game.

This thread is ripe for trolling.
I'd say Trespasser.

No, it just requires knowledge of what makes a game bad in the eyes of the masses, yet enjoying certain parts of it anyway.
Jericho for instance was horrible and broken as far as gameplay was concerned. There were so many times I played with my mouth agape wondering how in god's name they thought half of it was a good idea. But I still really enjoyed it because of the art, characters and story.
It's like loving a classic car that's a piece of shit. It's unreliable, the brakes may fail, it might break down on the way to work. But you love it anyway, it has a charm about it. Telling that person that his love for his shitty car is misplaced is rather pointless, right?
