Interestingly, the two example you shared (Sonic Unleashed and the whole Sonic franchise being bad) are likely a good example of "hanging with the bad crowd". Unleashed is… not great, in my opinion, but the whole franchise? Please. We're not talking Sonic06 level of horrible decisions.
Another view on this is, if you enjoy something, and people have to tell you it's bad just so you know, it can't be that bad. People enjoy different things, and seriously, the toxicity of large communities is the worst thing ever. At this point, even with what seems to be "unanimously loved", you'll be able to find a large enough group of people happy to tell you it's shit.
With that said, some games are really, really bad. But these games usually don't need to be pointed out for people to know.
edit: dang, that was full of typo.
That's my favorite Sonic mission.
