For the reverse (I hate but most like) that's gotta be NEO The World Ends With You.
It might not be something Ganker hates entirely, but I've gotten a couple confused reactions to how much I've been enjoying the first Megami Tensei for Famicom. Been drawing out my own maps at a separate desk with a TV setup and everything. Peak oldschool vidya wizard shit. It's been such a fricking cool experience so far.
Oh well idk as far as more on-topic shit goes, I had fun playing the original Overwatch with a homie for a couple nights or so years ago. I think Skyrim is a perfectly servicable dumb clunky "I just wanna run around and hit shit" game, too; solid 7/10 I'd say.
The real answer is "All of them"
This board fricking sucks now, everyone thinks their taste is better because they shit on anything popular or actually good, and not in the entertaining way the board used to be
Everyone that used to browse this board capable of good conversations or debate have long since left, you argue with nothing but zoomers and depressed NEETs whose only high's are pissing other people off with low effort bait
Quite funny if you push people to say why they hate a game and they have absolutely no first hand experience with it. It's all third hand opinion from homosexuals who are desperate to fit in and only come here to vent their teenage rage.
These people genuinely know frick-all what they're arguing about and its absurd
[...]
Any time someone shit talks Hollow Knight, they always out themselves as the biggest morons on the planet that pretend their taste is somehow better than everyone else's
They'll go the entire thread convincing nobody and still insist they have a point or some invisible higher ground to debate on
Same goes for Elden Ring or [Insert any validly-popular game here]
Honestly yeah most culturally hated games here aren't the worst thing in the world gameplay-wise, considering most games get hated for being popular with the wrong group or for political reasons. I'd agree with the common sentiment here that gross mtx f2p shit sucks ass, but as far as like, idk, Baldur's Gate 3 or Skyrim or Ultrakill goes you could do a frick of a lot worse in search of a good time.
I agree. I really wonder why I've stuck around. I used to love having conversations here. Being entirely unrestricted by ethos and having pure discussion is the best thing about this place. While 90% of posts were garbage, at least you could get a few people to genuinely engage every other thread.
I can't even remember the last time I spoke with someone on here that wasn't trying to "win" an argument.

I need to stop coming here it's the same shit everyday and I rarely find a fun or interesting thread anymore
I can only agree to that. There is barely a genuine thought left here, let alone people interested discussing video games.

Every kind of morons that says "actually the board used to be so cool! because le freedom and le no social rules or ethos!" is just a moron that was always part of the problem but started crying and getting mad when THEYRE personal favourite game got made fun of. None of you are principled, and none of you deserve better. I bet if I were to watch how any of you talk about videogames, you'd instantly replicate the same problems as the board, just manifested from a different end. You have no principle, no standard, expressed deliberately by your enamored desire for "le old Ganker...when it was cool to be shallow and wild west, even though there obviously still socially enforced ethos except it was just "be as wacky moronic as possible and pretend to be different and unique!" Board is shit because of people like you. I guarantee it. It's not the shitposters that's the problem. It's the people that make shitty low quality coomer threads, bait threads, pol threads, and the morons that respond to them with zero awareness of how to engage in a conversation without circlejerking or hating.

This is a perspective thing. You can find plenty of good posters if you know how to discern bait/shitposters and not waste your time with them. Then it's 50/50 whether you find some clueless idiot or someone who cares about the topic at hand.
This. We still had trolls but now it is like 90% are trolls or just extemely bitter and rude people. Even in legit threads you have like 3 or 4 people trying to troll or be buttholes for zero reason. I suspect some are bots but I don't think its everyone.
Usually you can bunker down in a thread during a major release while all the buttholes all argue in their 50 other threads, but you aren't even safe from them anymore. They will come in and just shit stir for no reason. >uhh duh this is Ganker dont be so serious lul
is their argument every time because they have only been here like 5 years. It isn't just Ganker either its other boards too.
>or just extemely bitter and rude people
I really don't get why Ganker is like that now. I understand idiots trying to troll for giggles but I don't get the hostile, subhuman behavior. People used to actually post cp and gore in threads, homies got their webcams hacked and videos uploaded for downloading an anon's game, the entire site had a reputation for being a vile place full of terrible people, and yet somehow the average anon came off far less misanthropic and far more willing to engage in an actual conversation than they do now.
Too many morons came here specifically because they heard this was the epic edgy "free speech" hacker site to use after getting kicked off of reddit, tumblr twitter, tiktok, etc., assuming that you absolutely must act subhuman to fit in. It doesn't help that they already are subhumans anyway.
I need to stop coming here it's the same shit everyday and I rarely find a fun or interesting thread anymore
I simultaneoulsy have no where else to go and this shit hole is still the only place that you can have a conversation about some obscure of 15 year old game.
All early access open world survival crafting base building games.
I'm still not tired of them, love mastering my environment and building comfy bases.
CSGO. Most of the other games I really like either don't get hated on, possibly because they don't get many threads to begin with, or have at least as many people defending them but I've almost never seen even a positive word about CSGO or CS2 on here.
I loved the time I spent playing Fortnite. It's honestly the best online shooter right now and not an ounce of play to win. The Item shop is cosmetic only and Fomo only occurs in the Battlepass.
pillars of eternity
Super Robot Wars
Treasure games
Who the frick hates Treasure games? The only one I even occasionally see hate for is Ikaruga and that's always just Cavegays being insecure.
I can't even namedrop it here without a bunch of people screeching about trannies

Signalis
middling game carried by aesthetics that are honestly incoherent with the setting.
Yeah yeah sure I like dem aesthetics, what are you gonna do about that?
Probably something like Poképark or Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
For the reverse (I hate but most like) that's gotta be NEO The World Ends With You.
FF7 remake and FF16
I liked 7 remake but got bored of 16 halfway through.
It might not be something Ganker hates entirely, but I've gotten a couple confused reactions to how much I've been enjoying the first Megami Tensei for Famicom. Been drawing out my own maps at a separate desk with a TV setup and everything. Peak oldschool vidya wizard shit. It's been such a fricking cool experience so far.
that's not interesting, shut up
Oh well idk as far as more on-topic shit goes, I had fun playing the original Overwatch with a homie for a couple nights or so years ago. I think Skyrim is a perfectly servicable dumb clunky "I just wanna run around and hit shit" game, too; solid 7/10 I'd say.

It's always been like this, there's just more /misc/ shit now
You must have come 2016 the earliest. And I'd say that for anyone who swings in with "it's always been shit xD".

rampant tribalism and social media brainrot in the wake of 2016
Yes polBlack folk are a plague on the board this is true.
Too many morons came here specifically because they heard this was the epic edgy "free speech" hacker site to use after getting kicked off of reddit, tumblr twitter, tiktok, etc., assuming that you absolutely must act subhuman to fit in. It doesn't help that they already are subhumans anyway.
The fact this place used to be more risque is how you get redditors and migrants flocking to it in the first place.
Go back
I simultaneoulsy have no where else to go and this shit hole is still the only place that you can have a conversation about some obscure of 15 year old game.

I think Darksiders 2 is the best of the series.
Also Jak 2

Skyrim
Dishonored 2
Dishonored Death of the Outsider
The Last of Us Part II
I've seen a hate thread for just about any game I like, popular or not
God Eater
Asscreed 3
Dragon age 2
Borderlands 2 but the series in general is impossible to discuss here
Last of Us 2
CSGO. Most of the other games I really like either don't get hated on, possibly because they don't get many threads to begin with, or have at least as many people defending them but I've almost never seen even a positive word about CSGO or CS2 on here.
90% of rts games
Shellshock 2. I just like zombie games. And Vietnam + zombies is cool
I loved the time I spent playing Fortnite. It's honestly the best online shooter right now and not an ounce of play to win. The Item shop is cosmetic only and Fomo only occurs in the Battlepass.
