For me, the most hated game I love is probably
Saint's Row IV.
I just loved the superhero theme in a time when CoH
had been shut down, and not resurrected, and the other supers games
were really bad. I think it was so hated as it took the GTA ripoff to
a place that it was more a CoH ripoff, not at all what people wanted or >expected from the game. The DLCs like Gat out of Hell were better
balanced and still interestingly different too.
Runners Up:
Fallout 76.
I don't know if it would quite come to 'love' but there were many
memorable bits I loved, that were far more memorable than anything in
Fallout 4. Mothman, the Nuka Cola plant, the Miners, the friendly
assault bot, fighting giant deathclaws with hordes of other players.

For hated, I take that you mean "hated in general by most people on
online and possible the real world too"?
Hard to say. I play terrible games on purpose and enjoy them, but they
are so niche that they fail to attain a "hated / reviled" status.
If I had to think...
Heretic:
It seems to have been hated for being just Doom with a fantasy skin and
not having a lot of new stuff (items, looking up and down), then Hexen
making it look like a footnote. But back in the day I enjoyed it more
than Doom. For a kid, it was more colorful, and turning all the enemies
into chickens rather than using the BFG seemed kick-ass.
Diablo 3:
I never player Diablo 2, and by the time I got into it the expansion was
out, the auction house had closed forever and seasons had become a well
loved concept. Same as with heretic, I enjoyed the game looking lively
and full of colour. D2 hardcore fans were so angry about the game not
being grey and red that we got to see Jay Wilson's glorious t-shirt.
Not quite keeping on topic as it wasn't hated as such nor did I love it, anyway it's Outer Worlds. A lot of the 'hate' seemed to come from it's
not a successor to FO:NV, well the devs never said it was and reading a review or two would have told you that. There was also an element of the anti-woke brigade moaning that the women weren't attractive enough and
there was even one of your companions that was asexual, shock horror I
know what is the world coming to.
I rather liked it, it certain;y isn't on my classics list but it was a
fun romp for all of its twenty five hours or so.

Hey, "Heretic" was beloved on release. I remember the endless
discussion about the game here on c.s.i.p.g.action! It was never
destined to outshine "Doom" but it was generally received quite
favorably.
So the real question is: did you love ORIGINAL D3 or did you only like
it after it got updated into playability? :-)
Oh, the storyline/factions sucks!
Oh, Preston Garvey and settlements and base building!*
Oh, I don't feel like I'm making a difference!
I had a blast with it. I logged 150 hours in it. I loved the start of the game when everyone gets nuked. I loved the factions (mostly). I loved
Piper. I loved Fenway and my house in the ballpark. I loved the MILA
quests from Tinker Tom. I loved the Brotherhood endgame. I loved the cryolater (!). I loved the junk jet. I loved the boss fights. I loved collecting bobbleheads (even the Luck one). I loved the pared down perks system. I loved scavenging for parts. Even crafting was fun, and I *hate* crafting.
Hands down, best implementation of power armor ever. Why wasn't it always like this? Just amazing.
Endlessly moddable. Didn't need them; a Bethesda first for me. But I downloaded Vault 1080 from Nvidia and got a neat premium godrays and
lighting effects demo. Cool.

Guess the info on internet (mostly reviews from the era) do not
correlate with user opinions from back when it released. I did not try >Heretic until 1997 or 1998 when I had my first PC (a P166 MMX, btw;
currently being repaired and retrofitted), but talking about it would
get me replies like "You are playing a pixelated game without polygons"
and "Why play that at 320x200 when you could be playing Duke Nukem 3d at >640x480?", from both the Quake / Unreal crowd, and the Build engine
die-hard fans.

What actually counts as crafting? Does modding gear count as crafting?

Not here for binaries or pirating stuff. Just looking for communication

"HACK THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!"Planets are notoriously hard to hack. Destabilizing their star to
sterilize them is usually easier.
