What's an often hated movie/show/game that you experienced, that made you go "I get the hate, but I don't hate it myself"? And how much did you tolerate it? (thelemmy.club)

I've recently played Resident Evil 6 for the 1st time after playing Resident Evil 4 (an absolute masterpiece) & Resident 5 (a pretty good game). I was already aware of the hate this game got over the years. But after experiencing it, it's only bad in an artificial way. Like yeah, it's nothing like the classic games and it's too much in the action category.

Otherwise, as someone who loves action games, it's a pretty fun game. Especially in Mercenaries Mode, where it's fun to mow down body-horror themed enemies. As a Resident Evil game, it's pretty bad. But...as an action third person shooter with splatter punks, it's quite well executed

I enjoyed both Battleship and Battle: Los Angeles. They were fun movies to turn your brain off to.

Battle: Los Angeles was actually a brilliant ayylmao invasion movie, I think, blatant cringeworthy video-gamey rah-rah Marine recruitment propaganda aside.

I really liked that it doesn't cut away to some scientists or The President who know exactly what's going on and explain it to us. It doesn't show the aliens being diabolical with subtitles in their mothership or something. It doesn't expo-dump to make sure we're following along comfortably. No.

You follow a bunch of Marines deployed straight into the claustrophobic fog of war after a whole ton of "WTF" just hit finally-not-New-York-for-once.

We the viewers only know what they know. They have to learn as they go, and so do we. And that's actually pretty scary.

The aliens also had such a cool and unique design. I loved their tech and the "pop pop crackle" of their machinery sputtering thrusts to stay aloft.

Oh boy when they dropped anchor and spun that battleship around. Goofy as fuck but it was fun!

I watched both of those and you are right. Fun movies to just turn your brain off and go with the flow.
