The Nuts & Bolts effect

Good or alright games that were hated/have bad reputation because they diverged from the previous games in their franchise.
"A good game, just not a good X game"

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
It's not Banjo Threeie.
But it's a good vehicle creation game
Crash of the Titans
Crash of the Titans
More like an action platformer/beat em up but it's good (and better than MoM)
DmC: Devil May Cry
DmC: Devil May Cry
It's a good dmc game, the devs just shat on the fans for no reason
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Doesn't have Samus.
It's a fun multiplayer fps for the 3ds. Blastball was genuinely great.
Hitman: Absolution
Hitman: Absolution
It's a story focused Hitman game with linear stages...
I like it a lot and it's mechanics led to the modern trilogy. Also the crowds were impressive at the time.
Doom 3
Doom 3
The "black sheep" of Doom
It leans more into horror but it's not really that big of a departure.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Best unfinished game of all time
Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil 6
It's a big, fun, action packed mess
