Shadow the Hedgehog
Megaman X7
Looking back, I know why. I was just so happy to play as Shadow/3D Zero, I really didn't care about the many faults these games have.

Sonic Adventure 2
Digimon World 4.
Granted, I was a child when I played it, but it was fun.
Years later I found a few YouTubers shitting on it due to bugs, recycled assets, lack of digivolutions, shitty camera angles, spammy gameplay, etc etc.
I agree with all of these criticisms and in hindsight yea that game was really lazy. However, I still had a good time.
I am one of the 10 people on earth who really enjoyed playing Starfield. The space combat seemed like a love letter to the old Wing Commander series, the art design was beautiful, there was a lot of fun content. I think i made it to NG7 before they took it off the free to play. When it's on sale i can't wait to grab it.
by comparison i hated The Outer Worlds which was the first 'it's like fallout in space!' that was promised so i was tickled when Starfield actually was like fallout in space.
Oooo now you have me interested in Starfield by comparing it to Wing Commander, damn you.
I loved Outer Worlds. Rough around the edges, sure, but it wasn't much different than playing Fallout 3 in terms of gameplay. Also the setting made for some great satire. My only real complaint was the small maps. High hopes for the sequel.
Fallout 4. game was pretty decent but the pacing was weird. by pacing I mean the game seemed like it was set out in a way that you wouldn't complete the game until you were many levels up from what I was, so many upgrades that took a lot of caps left unlockable, and by the time I felt I was really starting to get somewhere, the game ended with the Institute ending
Fallout 4 is a great game.
Breath of the Wild. It is such a good game and I really love it and I only have ever heard possitive things about... but than I met a bunch of old school Zelda fans and they don't like the game that much. They say it's a great game but not a Zelda game. Maybe they just wanted to be contrarian but I can also understand where they are comming from.
I ended up replaying Wind Waker and I still haven't finished Breath of the Wild.
I think BotW is a spectacular game for kids who don't have access to just about any game they want.
As a long time Zelda fan I never understood any of the hate for BOTW from other long time fans. That being said I haven't been able to play it since TOTK came out because TOTK is what BOTW was missing for me.
From seeing discussions among those Zelda fans (which to be clear I am not one), the issue is that the mainline games are now a completely different genre, but treated as though it's the natural progression of the series.
The classic zelda games are primarily puzzle games, with a little bit of combat and intricate hand-crafted exploration to spice it up a bit. The modern zelda games (BOTW & TOTK) are exploration games with puzzles to spice it up. If you were a classic zelda fan, the niche genre you loved used to have regular releases by a major developer and now doesn't.
Plus, there's a "all my homies hate skrillex" effect here; the series is massively more popular now, but the newcomers have a different idea of what makes a zelda game a zelda game. By sheer numbers they dominate a community that is now reshaped by their presence. In other words the zelda fan community is itself a different genre.
For what it's worth, I haven't played that much of the series. Link to the Past I didn't care much for, Links Awakening (new one) I honestly hated, and BOTW I liked but had a couple issues with. All I've written above is based on passively seeing a bunch of discussion.
