I'm fond of jank - it usually speaks to a level of curiosity and ambition in the design if it doesn't run smoothly. Empire of Sin is a strategy game where you run around taking over Chicago, but it really wants you to invest in the characters, in each character, in your underlings, who have lovers and personality traits and revenge quests and who are shaped by your actions. I was fond! But I could not overcome the bugs, which would stall the xcom-style combat at random points and force you to quit and restart.
