I don't see how a game can be "terrible" and yet you will through it and it's not your job. I can see that for a game that's "ok" or even "not good" but not terrible. That's like, I don't get it. Idk I'm out of the loop.Click to expand...
His example, Afro Samurai, actually gives you a clear answer to why someone would will through a bad game, if you are a super hardcore fan of a franchise you might pull yourself through a shaming licensed game just because that's how much of a hardcore fan you are.  
Terrible games that you played because the graphics were good.  

- God of War
- Uncharted 4
- The Order
- Horizon: many people listed this one

So many people saying The Order. You must be kidding yourself if you call that game terrible. Sure it might be disappointing or bad for AAA standards, but its still a good game. I guess that's what the OP meant though, 'here's a free ticket to hate on the game you like hating on'. Its a dumb thread.

Literally no one in that thread has even mentioned a bad game, let alone terrible. But I guess that would be impossible, since any game with fantastic graphics is unlikely to be terrible as it will be well made.

Aw so it's one of those threads.

I don't really get why you'd ever play a game solely for its graphics. Basically only makes sense if you have new hardware or are interested in the tech itself.

edt: read the question as good graphics, not visually pleasing.

Did you play the Order?  

I mean, I agree, but I didn't remember you playing it.
It has some big problems, but I wouldn't consider it terrible.

Yeah, I played it at launch. Got the plat in about 10 hours and gave it an 8/10. I liked it quite a lot. In hindsight I'd give it more of a 7/10, but I think its still a good game. It has a lot of issues, but its solid at its core.

You don't know Paladins?!? Its only one of the hottest almost dead Overwatch clones around!

And it added a battle royale spinoff, now called Realm Royale.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I'm glad I didn't decide to shorten my game's name to just Cube Royale. Everyone will think it's a battle royale game anyway, but at least it's more wordy.

Remakes of Firing Range, Summit, Jungle and Slums are going to be in Black Ops 4. fudgy yes, Firing Range is my all time favourite map! I love Summit and Jungle too, and Slums is probably my favourite BO2 map. Awesome stuff!

Oh man Black Ops 4 is going to be soooooo good.

Jurassic World Evolution is getting very mixed reviews. 4.8/10 from IGN. Ouchies. Guess I'm not getting it.
