probably going in chronological order of when I probably heard them

let me know any youtubers who told you lies as a child when you were a children or adult

Luigi's Mansion
screwattack said this game was lame because its not like da mario which is why we got new super mario bros for like half a decade
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VI
various people who said it was SOOOO much better than 7 and said the 7 characters were like emo gay and bad or whatever
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII
I feel this is a big one people lied about because people were tired of it being called the best game ever, and its not my fav game but when I ended up playing it, I was surprised how solid and tightly knit everything was

also brentafloss said the game has plotholes without advent children or crisis core and that ones actually a lie

ff7 sequel and spin offs added things that make ff7 look like it retroactively has weird plot gaps

also the plot isnt confusing if you have 8th grade reading comprehension
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts
various youtubers said that the plot is confusing and go "oH boy im not even gonna try to understand it" to a certain point I get not understanding stuff but they literally explain what a heartless and nobody is if you're lost after that, its not the games fault

this one actually still goes on
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Conker's Bad Fur Day

GoldenEye 007
GoldenEye 007

Donkey Kong 64
Donkey Kong 64
that its on the level of banjo or mario 64 or other collection platformers
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid
that the franchise was confusing to follow, again gamers need to read books.

Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII
the whole trilogy tbh, usually with lightning being bland or boring when
or "why is this child character acting like a child"

no one talked about how good 13-2 was especially, or the gameplay of lightning returns

mostly jontron made a joke video where he and his friends barely talked about the game

also jessie cox had a hate boner for this game but liked ff15 even though that game is unfinished
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
people acted like this was the best finale ever lol
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Heroes
that sonics friends are dumb and shouldn't be in the video games

and those people are cringe and wrong
Sonic Battle
Sonic Battle
kbash compared the games plot to the abuse episode of family guy because "sonic isnt normally dark or emotional"

which adventure 2 had the whole story with shadow, and adventure 1 had the story with gamma and Tikal, and sonic was just also a bit edgier than Mario its not that out of place

its just people who don't actually like the series making broad claims as usual
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Adventure 2
the revisionist history that sonic was never good, when in reality you guys never cared for sonics gameplay probably which is fine, but people actually lied about this series

also that adventure games were bad
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
its alright I get the criticisms more now than as a child but youtubers are still annoying

I like gen 5 but its babies first jrpg story it wasn't THAT good
Kingdom Hearts III
Kingdom Hearts III
this one also involves kh2 but people said this game is just like kh2 are actually wrong

kh2 did not waste the players time remotely as bad as this game

and theres nothing wrong with fluff or fun adventure in the games but the plot is so rushed to the end
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Final Fantasy VII Remake
gaming youtubers who say they hate kingdom hearts but love 7 remake

its not really a lie but rather them not realizing the kh bs they rag about is the same bs thats in the remake

dialouge is better in remake compared to recent kh
Undertale
Undertale
that its like a turn based rpg but good

and its a good game but like grow up
Persona 5
Persona 5
that its like a turn based rpg but good

and like its a good game but grow up
Doki Doki Literature Club!
Doki Doki Literature Club!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
people said that stats didn't matter then big youtuber man makes his guide for each jobs and it turns out stats matter

also everyone keeps saying the gameplay for this one is good

its not
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed
people keep saying that the series director planned it all along when it feels like a mess
especially where things that should have been answered in the base game

I think this way of writing is very messy and is the exact thing people complained about kingdom hearts 3

like its fine to like it but I wish people would stop pretending this was the plan since 1990-whatever
Persona 3 FES
Persona 3 FES
people said the answer was bad and this is an old one but its going here because reload and you know who you were

i don't agree with everything here, but people def put the persona 2 duology on a pedestal. i've booted up both to play for a few minutes just to check them out, and like maybe they get better later on or something, but the first starts with multiple fat jokes, and the second one has one of the most misogynistic "joke" i've ever seen in a video game within the first 10 minutes. not really sure what people were cookin' when they said they were different than p3/p4/p5, it's the same shit!!!

You should add a section on Sonic R for old youtubers who said the music in it was bad and "unfitting" for a Sonic game (somehow)

That section on FF7R is true, people who whine about "Kingdon Hearts anime silliness" not realizing it's just normal Final Fantasy stuff is silly (both are goated btw). Also, with FF6 I personally never got how people said its characters were better than FF7's when 6's cast barely have interactions with each other. The whole thing about people thinking Cloud being emo and bad is either people being dumb or mistaking it for his flanderization in Advent Children and spinoffs.

Also I do remember as a kid everyone saying the Adventure games were unplayable or bad, but I got around to SA1 last year and it was great. I think a lot of it was just people playing the really bad Gamecube remasters/ports like DX

@theia yeah a lot of my anger in this list is mostly exaggerated and while I enjoy p2 it has its writing issues

@mrhoodie yeah it was a lot of ff7 spin off stuff that made people forget how good the OG game was

One thing that stood out for me at least would be Street Fighter EX3, ScrewAttack called it bad because it's 3D, and I also remember in their Top 10 best fighters video that they are worried about Street Fighter IV being in 3D.
Played it later on and it's serviceable.

@meowthed000 screwattack was so bad with these wild ass takes that made no sense especially stuttering Craig

@meowthed000 @FranKle One of the funniest of those bad Screwattack takes was them putting Rain on the worst MK characters list solely because he was purple and based off the artist.

@mrhoodie you could just say anything back then
