10 Games You Hate to Admit You Love

Some video games have high critical acclaim and can be considered art. These video games are the ones you discuss with friends and ones in which you openly admit to playing. Then there are the games you buy online so you don't have to look the cashier in the eye. The games you claim you're buying for your kid. The game you refuse to play unless you have the house to yourself. You know the ones I'm talking about. Here's the top ten games you won't admit you like even if someone held your family hostage.

Dead or Alive i understand, but Catherine? How is it embarassing to say you like Catherine?

Dearslay3594d ago

I recommend that game to everyone, it's great to play something different and refreshing for once!

Legacy2123594d ago

One of my favourite games from last gen

MRMagoo1233594d ago (Edited 3594d ago )

who in the hell would have a hard time admitting they love FFX-2 ?? (I even have the piano version soundtrack on my phone and PC) or animal crossing (The only reason I bought a DS) or harvest (I still have the ps1 version and play it) or the sims. The lego franchise games lol I have every one released on the ps3 and ps4 so far I would admit to playing those games all day long, very very odd list.

LightDiego3593d ago

True. How i wish more innovative games like Catherine.

Why would I hate to admit that I loved these games? Most of them are really fun, and just because they aren't Call of Duty or something doesn't mean that I'm embarrassed to say that I like them. That's just ridiculous.

Pokemon Doesn't Need to Sue Palworld, It Needs to Get With the Times

The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."

Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.

NotoriousWhiz83d ago

Unfortunately for us, as their legal team seems to be more competent than Game Freak's development team.

gold_drake84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.

but absolutely agree on the change

GoodGuy0983d ago

That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.

But money, they'll make billions with little effort.

badz14983d ago

you know that's never gonna happen

FinalFantasyFanatic83d ago

Gamer Freak, Creatures and Nintendo all have a stake in the Pokemon franchise, Nintendo especially will never let them go, I don't know how Creatures or Game Freak feels about it. Plus, the other two don't have a financial incentive to ditch Nintendo, they make mega bucks regardless. Although I think Nintendo should help Game Freak out more since they're clearly struggling, other they'll all just have to accept longer dev times and bigger gaps between games, or maybe just make some cheaper low-tier games in-between.

shinoff218383d ago

Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.

--Onilink--83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Even Scarlet/Violet had sold 24million as of early November (and undoubtedly sold even more during the Holidays), its not like they are currently suffering.

Yes, there are plenty of things I would like Gamefreak to do better, and yes I happened to like Palworld, but not because its a Pokemon clone, because its not, but because its a good survival game, something that I have zero interest for the mainline Pokemon games to become.

Most publications keep bringing up these topic ls just for clicks, because clearly the game is your typical survival game (most who do well on PC) with some Pokemon sprinkled in and not a Pokemon competitor, the core gameplay loop is clearly just Ark with dinosaurs swapped for Pokemon like creatures

And again, while I’m enjoying the game itself, I hope it doesnt set a new precedent for what we expect from game devs these days because, based on their other games, this developer really seems to basically just try to go as close as possible to ripping off other games without getting into trouble and then not really following up on those projects as promised (Craftopia players seem particularly angry).

I doubt they ever expected the discourse around this game to reach this level of popularity to push those insane sales numbers, and they actually take the opportunity to increase the quality of their work

FinalFantasyFanatic83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

I'm going to say something somewhat controversial, the last set of Pokemon games weren't that bad, it wasn't a great game, but a good game if we ignore the performance issues (and I personally didn't have many bugs).

They just need more interesting towns and NPCs (give them interesting dialogue, there's literally no reasons to talk to NPCs), interesting areas/locations (like the sunken ship and Bellsprout Tower), and some decent side quest, there isn't really any interesting side quests in those games, and fix the barely there lore for the game (Idk even know what was going on with those 4 "legendary Pokemon"). And maybe add less new Pokemon into the next game so they can transition more of the older Pokemon into 3D.

I think Scarlet/Violet had the potential to go from a good game to a great game if they implemented most of those ideas, but they also needed more development time to optimise the game as well.

Profchaos83d ago

Yeah agree id take a remake of red in the style of the links awakening remake any day of the week

Profchaos83d ago

No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.

Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
