Well, the title says it all, many franchises have a black sheep, not necessarily a bad game, nor the worst of the franchise, but for various reasons, like a poorly made retcons, strange fate of certain characters, bad conclusions, gameplay mechanics that have regressed, among a lot of other things, people decide to forget about the existence of that game in the franchise. And yet, no matter what everyone says, you still love this game, it may even be your favorite game in that franchise, who knows?
When the idea of making this thread came to mind, the game that I immediately remembered that fits in this question was Batman Arkham Origins, it is a game that has been widely criticized for several reasons and that is certainly in the position of black sheep in the Arkham franchise, mainly because it is from another developer, but I don't care, it is certainly my favorite among the 4 Batman games and the one I had the most fun with.
Aaaand, Sonic Unleashed too, to be fair i don't know how Unleashed would negatively influence Sonic's lore (lol), but putting it alongside games like Sonic 2006, for example, it makes it not infamous enough for many people to remember/care about it (or even know of its existence, yes, I've met people who didn't know about this game), so humanity simply decided to forget about this game, and again, do I care? Nop, it's my favorite Sonic game(At least the 3D ones), I loved every second and I will defend Sonic Werehog until the day of my death.
And I'm sorry if the thread looks weird, or simple, it's the first time I've made an "elaborate" thread since I think it would create good discussions.
