What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?
Hmm, I guess I'll go with Barbie Explorer, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Petz Sports. Also arguably Ostrich Runner because it's unfinished/unpolished in some places: particularly I don't know how the final level is meant to be played because it ends on its own without the player really doing anything. I played those as a kid so I was less critical back then.

The modding has the same problem blacksmithing/enchanting in Skyrim has: You have to invest a lot of advancement in the system to get any benefit out of it. Older Bethesda games let you sidestep that by throwing money at the problem which is a totally valid way to let players have more freedom but all the good stuff is locked behind feats and high stats now. Why can't my character be an emotionally stunted moron with a skilled mechanic on retainer to access the good shit? Instead I am completely reliant on farming raiders of various factions and hoping for good drops. (This is the "looter shooter" thing the other guy brought up but I don't think it's a great version of that either.)

The Matrix Online. It was not a very good game mechanically, but the community and the monolith employees that would log on to role play major characters was the most fun I've ever had playing video games in my life.

I thought it was great, loved the characters, the atmosphere and all the lore, didn't know it was considered bad until now 😅

Kane and Lynch!
I liked it way more than Gears of War, which was also a 2 player coop cover shooter released around the same time.
I just really liked the banter, the characters, the setting, the way that you could see how one of the characters was crazy because when you play coop as him he sees different things.
Loved every second of it when I played it, even in single player.

Enter the matrix was fun as hell, at least the first mission with all the bullet time, kung-fu and acrobatics. It wasn't a good game, but it was everything I needed from a Matrix spinoff
