So tell me of your guilty pleasures. Games that by all rights are shit, and yet you are able to wring some kind of enjoyment out of them for whatever reason.
This is my shame: Gothic 3.
This game is a clusterfuck. Bugged to hell and back, appalling combat, poor translation (English version), terrible optimisation. You will never hear me defending this game from criticism because all criticism is deserved. And yet I have completed repeat play throughs.
Elements I enjoy:
* huge world with lots to do
* beautiful attention to detail
* quirky humour on the occasion
For all its faults inducing me to rage frequently at my monitor, I still sink hours into this title. What can I say - I'm a sucker for punishment.
So what games do you enjoy that, on paper, you really shouldn't?
