I know it is a popular game to hate, but I like Star Control 3. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I played 3 before 2 so I did not have any expectations. But I liked the game.
Dragon Age 2. I've seen other people here say they like it but it still feels very lonely. I know the game has problems: when I tried telling a friend what it was about I couldn't do it, plus I hated half the cast, but I could use the other half exclusively and have fun with them, which I surely did. It's not DA:O but it is still fun.

Actually I feel that about plenty of games, I like Prince of Persia Warrior Within and Chrono Cross better than their respective predecessors and those are usually mentioned with disdain at best and pure hatred at worst. Granted they're the first games I played in each series so maybe I'm biased, but let's be honest, so is everyone who played the others first.
Postal 1. I know lots of people who like Postal 2, but the first one never gets any sympathy :(
Lately it seems to be cool to hate on indie games sometimes.
Easy. Mistmare.

But after the 1.7 patch. Obviously.

Before the last patch it was borderline unplayable. If it was released after the patch it would be at least considered mediocre in the eyes of the world.

Technomage: Return of Eternity. A bit of Googling suggests it may have been moderately successful in Germany. As for me, I fished it out of a bargain bin not very long after its release and found it decent.

Prehistorik 2 is another game few people seem to like or even know. I used to have a lot of fun with it back in the 90s, it's one of the few platformers I actually finished. Tried it again recently and failed miserably, I'm clearly getting old.
Is being the only one to dislike a game allowed? :P

If so, I'd go with disliking Braid. I got it in a humble indie bundle about half a year ago (the one which also included Bastion, etc, so I didn't waste my money), but just can't seem to get into it. I generally quite like puzzles, but something about the completionist element ('I must get that puzzle piece!) just leaves me sitting there if I get stuck on an optional puzzle, doing the same thing over and over, until I give up and start a more enjoyable game. Combined with the fact that I'm not that fond of the storytelling, and (so far, at least) I've seen other games do the 'time travel' thing rather better, I don't really like it personally.

It's simple and extremely repetitive compared to the second, makes a good coffee break game tho.
I love the crap out of Daikatana, and Silverfall... no one else does :(
Mutant Mudds?
Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak on the GBA; only because no one else will admit to liking it ^^.

jackalKnight: Mutant Mudds?
I very much enjoyed Mutant Mudds! Completed it 100% :D
I guess mine would be Blade Kitten, really enjoyed the game though not many people knew or cared about it and it is kinda easy.
Sacrifice. Can you think of anyone else who enjoys Sacrifice? Of course not.

I'm a fan of both DA2 and Chrono Cross.

How about... Brigandine? It was a Playstation game that no one I've ever spoken to has even heard of. Someone around here likely has, since most of you are more worldly than my typical circles. If memory serves, the reviews weren't very good, but I enjoyed it and spent a lot of time playing the game at one point.
