I like to play bad video games. Not because I like to torture myself. Or just because I want to make a video about how frustrated and angry I get while playing a bad video game. I like to play bad video games because I like to be proven wrong that they’re really all that bad.
Take E.T. for Atari for example. Everyone has always told me this is the worst game they’ve ever played. When I ask vendors at game swaps for the worst game at their table they will inevitably hold up an E.T. cartridge. I don’t want to hear it anymore because it’s not a bad game. In fact I found it quite fun. And if given the chance I would play it again.
E.T. may be considered one of the worst games ever made but from my own experience playing the game it’s actually pretty well designed and fun to play.
I want everyone out there to go out and play a game that’s widely considered to be bad. One that you’ve been told over and over that is just terrible and has nothing good about it. Go out and prove the naysayers wrong. Find something cool about the game and let everyone know that although the game may be considered terrible it has this one aspect that was given a lot of time and effort. That one aspect can take a bad game and make it playable. In fact it may even make the game good.
I liked fallout 4 more then most of the people on the internet, I haven't read any reviews before I bought and played it and that leads me to belive since i wasn't exposed to milion people telling me what is bad about the game, I got to enjoy it more than the most of other players. Sometimes we all like to jump on the love/hate train when it comes to some games and it kinda is bad for the industry.

I think you might be on to something there. I saw game play for Fallout 4 and was immediately hooked. I bought the game day one and I loved it. It is now in my top three favorite games I have ever played. People tend to follow each other and what other people think, that's why at first I don't really care for some of the games out there until I give them a chance. But its also mainly based on your perception and point of view, whats bad to another person may be amazing fro someone else. Take Suicide Squad for example, a lot of people disliked that movie but a lot of people also loved it.

Yep suicide squad wasn't perfect movie but i enjoyed it for the characetrs n shit, i think partialy its because of different tastes and mostly because people just don't know how to develop their own tastes or are too afraid to be vocal about it.

I couldn't agree more! Sometimes it's the "bad" games that I have the most fun with. And it opens you up to trying something you may not have tried otherwise. :)

"Bad" is highly subjective, so I fully support your opinion. The BloodRayne games are considered bad, they received ratings in the 7/10 range I believe, but they are among the favorite games of all time for both me and my sister. Simon the Sorcerer 3D is an even more extreme case, could reach the level of ET although it is not as well known. It's generally considered not worth playing at all, 1/10.
When it landed on GOG.com (which used to be known as Good Old Games) some people got quite mad, demanding to know why a terrible game like that is on a site called Good Old Games. I still think Simon the Sorcerer 2 was the best in the series, but I love 3D as well, played through it half a dozen times. It's the graphics that aren't good, but the game is as funny as the earlier games in the series and looks aren't everything.

Same thing about films. Sometimes spontaneously I watch films with low IMDB rating. But don't remember a situation when I could say: "Eh, this movie deserves much higher rating rating!"...

I think you’re right, everyone’s “bad game” is subjective, either the gameplay or the story or mechanics won’t appeal to everyone. Deep down I think each individual will have that bad video game they will always love, no matter what the reviews are or what people say about it, that one game you keep coming back to every now and then that you can’t justify getting rid of haha
