Game that everyone hates but you like?

Serious Sam 4. I don't understand why everyone hates it. It has best gunplay in the series, it's not extra serious and grey (SS3) or clownade (SS2), most of weapons are in classic style, huge hordes of enemies just like your typical Serious Sam game, inventory like in build engine games is a good addition. But yeah, optimization sucks, graphics sometimes is worse than SS3

I love Serious Sam, I detest Serious Sam 4.

Reasons:

• Runs like ass for literally no reason, mainly because by default the game runs with capped memory and doesn't cache resources (for some reason).
• The writing is bad, less Serious Sam goofy but closer to Borderlands 3 post modern cringe (and yes, I unironically just used cringe)
• A large amount of encounters suck, genuinely it lacks the appealing arenas, gameplay and set design of the previous entries
• Bugged to high heaven and unfinished, I spent the entire motorbike level without a single encounter correctly triggering (nothing happened for 15 minutes)
• The legion system used to show thousands of enemies sucks, looks terrible and is used exactly once
• Most maps are just massive empty (even for Serious Sam) voids and fields of nothing.

 

It's a shame, because at the core it is a hell of a game and Siberian Mayhem is exactly what 4 should have been, Siberian Mayhem is excellent and I love it.

For me its A Week Of Garfield. Yeah I admit the game is straight ass but it has a charm to it that i cant get over

The lack of overall polish of SS4 is probably why Croteam abandoned Serious Engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5 for Talos Principle 2.

All the Contra games that are considered bad.

 

Yes, all of them.

I thought everyone loved Contra games. At least the ones that are 2D
