There was a cool game in there, under the bad controls and weird glitches. It still has one of the most ambitious engines I've ever seen. It was a lite fighter, a lite shooter, a lite rail shooter, a lite driver and a lite hovercraft sim all in one, and it even has a cool hacking minigame. And honestly, most of it was fun if you could get past the jank. They did a good job of letting you stumble up on cool mechanics, too, like did you know you can throw enemies with a gun equipped and it's an instant kill? Or focus disarms being an instant kill all the time with Ghost and about half the time with Niobe? Did you know you could do backflips in hand to hand mode? There are a ton of little hidden things like that.

I probably played it through at least six times, lol.

Final Fantasy VIII
I think it's a pretty love or hate title rather than one that nobody likes. Anyway, I effin love this game. I'm not gonna pretend that it's better by conventional measures than 7 or 4, but it just struck a perfect chord with me as someone who was decidedly anti- that 90's edge that it was making fun of and also happened to have almost exactly the same struggle as Squall.

I must have played this one through at least five times, lol.

Metal Gear Solid V
Well, I think the hate is overblown, but it's certainly not my favorite game in the series or anything.

Phantasy Star 3
This was my favorite PS. Pretty much for exactly the same reason I liked FF8. It just resonated with me perfectly. There's no objective measure by which it's better than 4, but whatever, this one is my favorite.

I played through once with each grandson, lol.

PS2 Shinobi (which I like WAAAAY more then the Ninja Gaiden re-boot).
Do people not like this one? Seems every time I bring this up, everyone is unanimously like "that game was awesome even though it was too hard." Which, in turn, is my opinion too. lol. I got so close to finishing it on Super (and with all the secret coins!), but I just couldn't defeat Hiruko.
