Games That Were Wrongly Ignored.

[pha kin su pah]

Goemon Legend of The mystical Ninja and Goemon's Great adventure for the n64. Thank to you guys, Konami only releases titles in Japan.

YES that game is legendary, rivalling OoT, sm64, B&K those games were up there. its just a shame they stopped there.. QQ

Tombi and I bet no one here has played it. It was a PS1 game and awesome.

Actually, I just recently replayed it for the first time in years. Really great game.

Jade Cocoon, I love that game, but no one knows what I'm talking about whenever I mention it to anyone.

I remember loving that game as a kid. Sadly, I don't seem to have it anymore.

Sacrifice, damn you Shiny and Interplay! We come on our knees, begging for more, and we'll do ANYTHING!!!!!!! :'(

Yes. Just yes.

I agree with Brave Fencer Musashi. It wasn't that great of a game, but it came with a FFVIII demo (which is why I bought it). It was actually one of the first console games to do voice acting that I played. Well, one of the first ones to do it well, at least.

Urban Chaos: Riot Response was spectacularly B-Movie-ish, but in a good way. Who wouldnt want to take a meat cleaver to a guy's face, or headshot a hilariously named "Burner" to watch his head make a sickening crack on the pavement while in slow motion?
Shadow of Rome was awesome, too.
Who said the New Millenium was blood-thirsty? Imma cut 'em.

The Grandia series. I have yet to meet a single person who has even heard of the game, let alone played it. I also feel that the original Sonic the Hedgehog games were rather overlooked.

I enjoyed the first Grandia game! Although I never had a chance to play the others...

I'm also gonna have to say Eternal Darkness.

Someone beat me to it. I absolutely loved Riot Response. Sure, the graphics were awful, but everything else was great. It was extremely intense, had hours of replay value with the unlockable weapon and equipment upgrades, and had one of the most useful tools in ANY FPS in history: The Riot Shield. The production values were surprisingly good, with some great looking explosions, some cheesy but entertaining live-action news scenes, and some terrifyingly chaotic cutscenes. Slo-mo kills and over-the-top headshots were icing on the cake.

System Shock 2. There is just no valid reason for not having played this game.

The Riot Shield was a fantastic innovation in my book, it made shoot-outs much more intense and the pace faster. And the live-action news scenes reminded me of Red Alert, so I liked it even more. The only thing that brought it down for me was the thermal vision parts, I hated them because everything looked purple and red.

Team Buddies for the PS1.

Far from perfect and plenty of little problems to pick at, but all in all, it's a great game.

Always thought it was one of the most underappreciated gems in gaming.

I second that! The amount of time I spent playing that. Ah....memories....

 

[Ixus Illwrath]

There was a game called Brigandine: The legend of Forsena for PS1, I could play that shit forever.

Also, a turn based card game called Culdcept comes to mind.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Gotta give this one to God Hand, amazing game, but didn't sell nearly as well as I had hoped for it =/ I don't remember exactly what game overshadowed it at the time but damn...that game missed out on some sales.

 

[Wewt]

Beyond good and evil anyone?

 

[Chaossebba]

and i also loved Tombi

THANK YOU, i remembered this game, but couldnt think of its name, thanks to you i finally remember.

Okay, I fail to see how any of those games were "Games wrongly ignored"

You see, pretty much each and every one of those games were given high scores, and the people who bought them loved them and raved about them saying "It gives you a whole 'nother experience!" "It's such a unique game!" "I've never played anything like it before!".

With all these people going around saying the same "underappreciated gems" for games in these types of threads, how the hell are these games "underappreciated"? We all keep talking about them! They weren't ignored, they just didn't sell as amazingly as the other mainstreame games!

If you want an underappreciated gem go find a completely random game that no one has ever heard of or a game that has not aged well in time. Like Ray-man for the PSX, I loved that game even though I've never beaten it, with gorgeous visuals for an old system (I wish I had my PS1 now...).

But I guess I can't stop all of these people from listing these "underappreciated gems" that apparantly no one has ever heard of. Okay, now i'm just being bitter...

That's what makes them underappreciated gems. DOH

i could be totally wrong, but Fire Emblem is a great series which i hadn't heard anything about it until i won a copy of the Wii one, which also got me to search around gameshops for the prequel on the gamecube.

Also, i had Jade Cocoon on the PS1, and Grandia, those were great fun.

 

[NiceGurl_14]

Final Fantasy VIII definately.

 

[|.|HaL]

Tetris Attack

 

[shadow skill]

I second Crackdown and Folklore. I would add The earlier Tenchu games.

Kingsley's Adventure

Absolutely no one appears to have heard of it.
