I am a sucker for games that most other people suck. Mostly because I've found that a lot of times the conventional wisdom on a game is completely wrong and some of my favorite games have been universally disliked by others.

But then once and a while (about 4 -5 times a year) I come across a game that the developers phoned in.  Games that I call 9 to 5 games, where the people who worked on them basically worked 8 hours a day and did not give a crap about the game.

I submit Brave Story: New Traveler.  This is a SCE game that was released by XSEED, which is never a good sign. (That SCE doesn't want to release it, not that XSEED published it).  Jesus Christ, this is an abomination.  I had to come up with a new acronym to describe it BMRPG (button mashing RPG).  I'll finish this thing, sure, but .... it's a dull game.

Which sums up the travesty of a 9 to 5 game.  It has the production values and good story requisite for a good game, but when it came to executing, the devs failed on an epic scale.

What are the other games you like that are universally disliked by others?
