Games you love but no one seems to talk about

[Launcelot111]

999 is basically SAW but with less gore, an actually good story, and characters you care about.

This suggestion is a ...

That game is so good with all the little pseudoscience hints and the misdirections that the bracelets provide. And then it turns out that everyone has their secrets and all that just adds to the already awesome characters. And it's just a bonus that the puzzles are pretty good too. My only complaint is that the plot went a little off the rails at the end, but that doesn't change that more people need to play that game.

Metal Wolf Chaos, the most American game to come out of America. EXCEPT IT DIDN'T BECAUSE IT'S JAPANESE.\

Also the Disgaea series.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

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!

True dat, I played zx and zx advent to death. But for some reason no one seems to like them.

Although, i prefer the zero series, they had a much better story imo, and megaman zero 4 is my favourite megaman game ever.

OP: look at my avatar.

Can't blame you for liking MMZ more, that series has the best plot in the Mega Man franchise.

Also, FUCK YEAH BOKTAI!

Alien Legacy, an awesome city building space exploration resource management game from the dos era that has some of the best exploration incentives around.

It's strange that game got so little attention with all the space building fans that exist. It really should be on GoG.

It lacked replayability and felt like a very long tutorial, but the first playthrough was a great experience.

 

[Mr Dizazta]

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the GBA. I never here anyone talk about or when I do it is usually negative.

 

[Poetic Nova]

The last one maybe not so much but I don't see people talk about it outside the Carmageddon forums.

 

[D-Class 198482]

Painkiller and Jaws Unleashed
and some Flipside, a HL2 mod

 

[natster43]

Custom Robo.
It is a pretty fun robot fighting game, but I don't think I have ever seen it brought up here once.

I thought i was the only one in this site that liked boktai.

Have at it.

If you can't tell by my avatar, I'm a big fire emblem fan. These games don't get much love outside of a small cult following. In fact sales have been poor enough that the sequel to shadow dragon wasn't released outside of japan.

 

[Mirroga]

Simply Einhander. I know it's just a horizontal SHMUP, but the gameplay is more fun than the usual SHMUP and the presentation and music...those are pretty much the sellers.

Just see for yourself. This is before Squaresoft joined Enix. And even still, I want the sequel! Where's my Zweihander?!

 

[Kapri]

Perfect Dark, Legend of Dragoon, and the Baten Kaitos series. Sure they're older games but damn they're so good!

 

[Dfskelleton]

I don't hear very much about Beneath a Steel Sky, which sucks, because it kicks ass.
It's like 1984 with quirkiness instead of bleakness.
It features:
*A sarcastic robot sidekick
*A jukebox that makes a bunch of weird sex jokes
*More Freudian Slips than you could ever desire
*A figure by the name of "Mr. Cool"
*Some of the catchiest music ever to be in a game
*Some of the most amusing characters in videogame history
*Art and some direction by Dave Gibbons
*Robert Foster is great
*IT'S FREE

Plus a freaking dave gibbons comic at the start. the only downside is that the australian accents are just bad

Haha, I know. Personally, I regard the voice acting the same way I regard the original Resident Evil's voice acting; I know it couldn't be more awful if it were performed by depressed rabbits, but it's actually so bad that it has some sort of endearing quality.

 

[Idon'tcareanymore]

inFAMOUS 2. It was overshadowed by the vastly inferior Duke Nukem: Forever at the time of its release, so I can see why it never really got its time to shine. I think Yahtzee's positive review of the game at least got it a bit more if the credit it deserves, IMO.

This. inFamous 2 is a fantastic game and should have been in more top 5 lists of 2011, but that's just my opinion. That and inFamous 1 never got their own time to shine.

Other than that, I never see anyone talking about my beloved LBP series.. Seriously, they may be kiddie games, but they can get challenging and are always fun to play.

 

[sonofliber]

Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars. It is an old game but it is a fine mix of RPG and RTS but i feel like i was the only one with a copy of that game let alone the gold edition. It looks like even the its own developer forgot about it.

there was an expansion not long ago for that game

 

[Psychoninja7]

Metro 2033. I haven't seen many people talking about it. I might just be unobservant though. I don't know.

 

[Thoughtful_Salt]

I think the first GBA Fire Emblem released in the west deserves more attention. It is truly one of the greatest games of all time.

 

[Zanderinfal]

Legacy of Kain. All of it. I love it so much, but nobody knows about it. Makes me depressed.

Sorry for not embedding, forgot how. When I remember I will embed it.

 

[Joccaren]

Dwarf Fortress
Sins of a Solar Empire
Witcher 2
Civ IV BTS
Uhh....
You know, that's probably it for my favourite games ATM. Got really tired of all the others. Either the sequel was extremely disheartening, and like losing all your save files for a game I have no will left to play the original again, or there just isn't that much to hold my interest after a while.

So... Yeah. My favourite games, and no-one talks about them so far as I see.

God bless you my good man. Perhaps there is hope after all.
