here's a few things I like unironically that are generally regarded as trash.
Sonic R (specifically its music mostly)
Rolo the Elephant (I like its music and the game is adorable and cute and yeah the bosses are awful but I still love it)
The Street Fighter 2 live action film (pretty much only because of Raul Julia who gives 200% goddamn percent in a movie that is undeniably awful. plus some great lines from various characters in it. so much fun)
I refuse to feel shame for these things.
@Nine Sonic R's music is baller and I'll literally fight anyone over this. I dunno Rollo at all, and the SF2 movie IS terrible, but it's that nice terrible. I think everyone agrees Raul Julia is why you watch
@LANthus *hifive*
here's Rolo the Elephant btw I think it was actually named Rolo to the Rescue tho maybe. I was pretty sure it was Rolo the Elephant in the UK tho. I dunno. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V36QGbUksow Basically you're a baby elephant. You and your mum are kidnapped by the circus, but you escape and go to rescue all the other kidnapped critters and save the forest that you apparently live in despite being an elephant and also have to go to the moon at some points ... I dunno. It's...weird.
@LANthus Yeah it was published by EA but exclusively for the megadrive/genesis. It's... not a good game tbh. It got pretty good reviews by all accounts but is one of those lesser known ones, but having played it more recently, it's not good. It's long, slow, plodding and a little obtuse at times, and the bosses are very unfair. Miss one critter in that huge long slog btw at any point and forget to go back and get them and it's bad ending for you~
@Nine oh naw that sort of gameplay was industry standard back then. I'd still give it a pass
@LANthus but yeah thinking about it James Pond 2: Robocod was another game that I got when I was a kid, though that was on way more platforms than just hte megadrive. I had a choice between that and Cyborg Justice apparently, and my parents decided on Robocod. At first I was like "YEAH!!" but then I was like "oh dang maybe I should haev gotten the other". Onyl when I tried a rom of Cyborg Justice did I realise I definitely made the right choice originally e_e;
@Nine oh this doesn't look too bad. was it a megadrive exclusive? it has that "this is a Specy mascot game port" feel to it. kinda getting James Pond vibes
