-I don't get it when people assert that Brawl is a bad game. Is it inferior to Melee and Smash 4? Absolutely. But I completely fail to see how it could be considered bad, as the series' core concept is still intact. It's still a fun game that's easy to pick up, and, somewhat difficult to master.

Stop acting like your opinion is fact. "Terrible" is 2/10 range. Some of those games you mentioned can be considered overrated, but NOWHERE near "terrible" status. Oh yeah, I agree SMG is a terrible game. Terrible level design, terrible controls, terrible graphics, terrible story, terrible gameplay, and terrible everything. /sarcasm

N64: Captain Falcon
Melee: Mario
Brawl: Sonic

Saying a game is "terrible" is never a fact. Judging the quality of a game is still ultimately something that is subjective.

Even something like a glitch or a broken control scheme aren't necessarily terrible. Goat Simulator has glitches, and people love it for that. Just Dance doesn't work half the time, but it's completely irrelevant, because having accurate controls isn't important in that game.

The facts associated with a game are: The platforms it's released on, the developer, the publisher, the main character's names, and the likes.

Whether something works properly is objective. When there is an alternative that does work properly e.g Dance Central then it makes anything that doesn't worthless like Just Dance.

I should also add that whether controls are broken or not is also something that can be subjective as well. Something like Kinect is heavily reliant on environmental factors for example, and with the Wii, different people move their bodies in different ways, and have different standards for lag and reliability. Even something like button controls that must be held for a certain period of time to get a response could be construed differently between different people.

looks glibly over the list

While I can't agree wholeheartedly with a number of these selections the reasons for their inclusion are of interest. Rather than me feeling in any way offended, because let's face it: there are tons of games we have in common that are not on that list.

Jordie

Western RPGs. I dunno why. I've tried a few of them and sometimes it's the (too) open world, sometimes it's the look, sometimes the battle system or whatever. I would love to play them, really, there are so many interesting WRPGs out there, but for the life of me I just cannot like them. Also most FPSs.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. I loved it for a few hours but then it got real repetitive.
I really wanted to like it, too. Since I liked some of the older 2D Zelda games.

All of them, I just can't seem to squeeze into them. I've lost count of how many carts and discs I've broken trying to get into them.

Pokemon X & Y. I really love the franchise, but something about X & Y (and the constant bombardment of Megas during online matches) really just put me off. The games aren't bad, I just didn't find them as immersive as previous entries.

Anything with motion controls and forced touch screen games (except rhythm games) freak the hell out of me.

Best response, right there.

As for myself, Sonic always felt a bit weird for me, still not sure what it is though.
I also tried a few times to like Chrono Trigger, but I couldn't get into the story or combat at all. Ended up selling it, so hopefully its new owner is liking it.

Mine are Metal Gear Solid and God of War. The former, I'm just not a huge fan of both heavily cinematic games and stealth games, the latter because they are legitimately awful games and their praise baffles me.

Except for like 3 or 4 of these, I think this belongs on the "Wrong Opinions Thread," if we have one.

Metal gear solid. I've tried and I own a number of the games... I just can't be bothered to care.

I never got into Metroid...I tried, but never could really get into it. I tried some of the first Fire Emblem game, but never bothered to finish it, though I might try out the later games and see if I like it. Battle Axe was another one. I just didn't see how it got so popular. Wii Sports was another one (I played Wii Fit more than that game.Seriously. WHY IS THAT GAME SO POPULAR!?I mean, it's nice that anyone can play it, but it's not the best thing since french toast!).

There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...
