I think it's because people have gotten so used to complaining about SE that when they get a good game from them they're not really sure what to say about it anymore. I would be happy to talk about it, but it appears I'm one of the only people ever to not own a wii.scorptatious said:

I neeeeeed Timesplitters HD on the PS3, I neeeed it or I will explode. That happens to me sometimes....Lucian The Lugia said:
Technically The Last Story was made by Mistwalker. But a lot of the people who made the game did create the Final Fantasy games pre-square enix. Like Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu.axlryder said:
Well the marketing team did their job just fine then, since they played up the whole "relation to final fantasy" aspect very well. Though, to be fair, if I actually owned the game I'd probably already know that lol. I see now that they've only published Nintendo, ios and Xbox games, which explains why I've never read up on them.scorptatious said:
Gotcha Force, WE NEED MORE GOTCHA FORCE! Seriously, one of the best games on the Gamecube. It's like a combination of Medabots and Virtual-On (though a more apt comparison would be the vs Gundam games made by Capcom but that's for a very niche audience in the US). I would love a port or remake to be on the 3DS.
I preferred the premise, a lot more Lovecraftian than Amnesia, which seemed more like a regular haunted house.Matthew94 said:
Halo. WAIT HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT! Really go back and look through the recent threads, either through history or through your mind and really try to remember the last time someone talked about Halo that wasn't in passing.
Mega Man ZX Series.
An underrated game series that simultaneously celebrates what made the Mega Man games awesome while innovating with special transformations, an interesting plot, kickass music, and a well done Metroidvania environments!

The first game I thought of when I saw the thread title was Jade Empire.
Seriously, I think it's one of Bioware's best games but no one ever seems to mention it even when Bioware is subject of the conversation.
Also, Neverwinter Nights 2. The Mask of The Betrayer expansion to be specific. One of the best expansions and just video game stories in general.

Bayonetta.
At the time it was overshadowed by a few games that came out that year and I loved that game to bits. If it does get brought up it normally goes into a Devil May Cry discussion, which isn't that hard, and it just gets discarded.
Also, there more hub bub about the character than the actual game which I thought wasn't fair at all since the game had some really fun combat and moves to use, even though they were ridiculous, and the bosses were fun too.

Rocket Knight Adventures! Quite possibly the greatest platformer of all time, ever. To be fair, maybe I just keep missing the discussion, because they very recently rebooted the franshise... apparently it was crap =[
Outside of these forums I hardly ever hear people talk about games that we talk about here often. Okami, The Darkness, Darksiders, SotC and Ico, Jade Empire, No More Heroes, Mirror's Edge... When I mention these to people it's almost always the first they've heard of them. Sometimes they will of heard of one or two of those, but there's always plenty they've never heard of.
Within these forums there isn't really much. I guess Muramasa doesn't get mentioned that much, but what is there to say about it? I'd love to have discussions about it but I wouldn't know what to talk about. It seems like the kind of thing that would come up on these forums a lot though. People here like similar stuff.
I guess Stubbs the Zombie is another. Nobody mentions that, and I have no idea why. Maybe it came too early, before the huge rise in popularity of zombie games. But it deserves to be spoken about. It's really quirky and hilarious. It's a real oddity, especially for when it came out. I guess the fact it was an Xbox exclusive didn't help it much either. Unless it was Halo or Forza none of the 1st party original Xbox exclusives got any attention.
I'd really like to hear what anyone else has to say about their experiences with those games, if they've had any.
EDIT: Just thought of another! Mini Ninjas! I don't personally own the game any more but I really enjoyed that. It wasn't very complicated, it was clearly a kids game, but it was really well done. It was beautiful and charming and just damn fun. You could tell a lot of love went in to making it. It's design has kind of an old school feel to it too, but not in an obtuse way. I was so sad to hear the sequel was a crappy Kinect mini game. I would have loved a proper sequel. If anyone here feels burnt out on super serious games which require huge time and effort investments and just want something to relax with then they should really give it a try. It's really cheap now, and you can even try out the first few levels for free in Chrome too.

, and yes, it annoys me that crytek are sitting on the IP and doing nothing with it. *sigh* they'll run out of excuses some day.
YES. YES. Finally someone knows that game! I have it installed on my computer and I absolutely LOVE IT!TheMightyAtrox said:
Grimfandango. It's a point and click adventure game written by Tim Schafer, that should be every hipster gamers wet dream. It was so good, my freaking dad loved it.
Also battlefield 1942. I only hang out on this forum so maybe it just doesn't get mentioned much around here. I was amazed by the amount of crap you could do in that game. I was really hoping battlefield 3 would be like battlefield 1942 except with bigger maps and breaking stuff physics. I was disappointed.

Original War... An absolutely brilliant RTS with a great branching story, quite unique game mechanics, cool soundtrack that I can still remember after all these years, even the graphics aged quite well... The voice acting is painful to listen to, but in my mind, it just adds to the atmosphere
Yeah I thought Penumbra was creepier by far. I preferred the story and setting more and thought they cranked the scarinessMatthew94 said:
Penumbra was awesome, Greenland is such a cool setting for a horror game, you know you're all alone whereas in Amnesia I was thinking if I could just jump out the window I'd be fine. For some reason it always remind's me of "The Thing". And the story is awesome
Vanquish- literally the best single-player shooter ever released, for any platform, and one of the best games of this current gen. No love?
Vanquish, I know it's generic and doesn't do anything even remotely new, but I've always felt it did those things right, and I'd much rather take an old idea done well than a new one done poorly.
I've had it so long that I really can't remember where I got it. Dune is a great book series. So we have an RTS based on it, made by Westwood... What's not to love?unstabLized said:
