Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
What's the game with the lowest Metascore which you... actually like?
- Thread starter zroid
- Start date
71%
hmmm not bad! I almost expected like a 40.
Why would you expect it to be a 40 if it was fucking amazing?
Because it was hard as fuck and games journalists suck at difficult video games that require skill and rarely review them properly.

Probably this. I still don't know how I played it for almost 100 hours...

Seriously? It's bust a move. Give it 7/10 for at least being competent.
Maybe I'm more forgiving because it was part of a B1G1 deal.
Well, I "finished" the game in 2 hours and there wasn't much else that convinced me to play it any longer, so...49, in my opinion, is deserving.
I really enjoyed Tetris World Online Edition for the Xbox (62). It came bundled with my first Xbox Live subscription and along with PSO I&II, I was content with paying for Xbox Live for those two games until Halo 2 was released.

This is a recent one, but I actually had a lot of fun with it
Came to post this. After all the complaining I heard, I gave it a stab when it got cheap and really like it. Reminded me a bit of playing co-op Rainbow Six or Left 4 Dead, and I found the Umbrella-focused story more interesting than usual REs. (even though you always knew you'd fail missions like "Kill Leon")

i was just thinking about these games because i hadnt seen them mentioned yet. i like the first and started the second but never finished it. this thread almost reads like a "what are arglebargle's favorite games" thread. seriously, i love EDF, godhand, nier, chulip, alpha protocol and a few others. gotcha force is ok. cy girls has a 53 on meta and isnt _that_ bad, at least it tried some interesting stuff.
a friend and i make a point of playing games with terrible reviews. some of them deserve it (catwoman, charlie's angels, ninjabread man). but sometimes reviewers just really get it wrong. en masse somehow.
It's not that low, but I felt it was received pretty poorly.
It loved the look of the game and the branching paths. It's surprisingly difficult if you try to find all the melons, rather than just eating up everything in sight. Which is why it baffles me when people complain it's too easy. If you run through Yoshi's Island (or any Mario game) without caring about scores, it can be simple as well. The look of the game was really impressive in some stages too.

That's a first.
The game's a disaster. The metacritic score is still way too high.

Enter The Matrix and Duke Nukem Forever
I really enjoyed those games, especially Enter The Matrix because I love the movie trilogy. It was so cool that the game told its own story with brand new film material exclusively shot for this game.
DNF was imho a pretty decent shooter, had about 16 hours solid fun with that. Duke's one-liners alone were worth the money.

Whaaaat???? User score is much closer to the truth (as always).It's not that low, but I felt it was received pretty poorly.

I've been enjoying the hell out of Alice Madness Returns recently.
No one has love for 3D platformers anymore...
this is why we can't have nice things.

Bionic Commando - 69
Because it's fucking awesome.
Nier. Second-best ARPG of the generation. 68 Metascore.
Dungeon Hunters: Alliance is great. 67 Metascore.
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Super intense, replayable and satisfying. 63 Metascore.
Genji 2. Excellent combat system, beautiful, long campagin. 55 Metascore.
Trinity: Souls Of Zill'O'll. Good romp, tons of level diversity. 55 Metascore.
Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2. Rhythmic cabbage slashing RPG carrot simulator par excellence. 54 Metascore.
Eat Lead: The Return Of Matt Hazard. Solid shooter, totally hilarious. 51 Metascore.
The games press is messed up.

Eh... I borrowed AMR from the library last year because of GAF. Didn't get all that far, but it was pretty well average. Glad I didn't have to pay money for it. Not a bad game, but with a metascore of 70, the critics pretty much got it right
The story gets better as the game goes on. If you're into dark, depressing, fucking crazy stories.

31 on Metacritic.
Who cares!? I played the hell out of this as a kid. I love taking down Mad Dog and his gang.
I loved this thing in the arcades.
Looks like mine is
It was pretty fun for couch co-op. I hear terrible things about the PC port.

It has a higher score than I thought it would.

Wow, it's really sad. And CoD and Bioshock get all the 90 scores.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Excitebots: Trick Racing. One of my favorite games, coming in with a 77. Helped by a gaming-age review of 91 (which apparently doesn't exist anymore), but hurt by an Edge 40 (I still remember being really upset because it was a case of the reviewer clearly not understanding the game.)
