Final Fantasy 13?
Super Paper Mario?
Super Paper Mario wasn't bad, unless you went into it expecting an RPG. As long as you expected a Metroidvania, it was pretty solid at that, and has the best plot in the series.
Isn't it kind of the point that all of these games mentioned were good in their own right but just absolutely not what the fans of the series expected or wanted?
Super Paper Mario was fine as a game if you're into that kind of metroidvania thing, if you're into Paper Mario and expected Paper Mario you could legitimately dislike it.
FFXII the same, fine as a western MMO style RPG. Cold and unfamiliar as a Final Fantasy game. FFX-2 I'm sure is also great if you're a fangirl who likes lighthearted rpgs segmented into short bubbly quests.
Other M was much the same, as someone not big into the Metroid catalog I thought it was an ok 8/10 game. It did something different, was relatively enjoyable and I respect that. If I were an avid follower of the Metroid series I'd probably be disgusted by the dialogue, inconsistencies and mediocrity of the gameplay.
All good games when looked at objectively but poor when considering their target market.
