Games you're convinced nobody else is playing?

SimAnt. One of the games that marked my childhood; but apparently obscure enough that it turns up on "Can you believe this existed" lists in magazines and on websites.

I've played that one before, although it was a long time ago.

OT:One game that I pulled out the other day was Streets of Sim City. It allowed you to build Sim City 2000 maps then drive around them. Sort of like Sim Copter (also an awesome game) but with cars. It was a pretty rubbish game but I got some good times out of it. I don't know if anyone else even has it, or has heard of it.

Prove me wrong people. Someone, anyone, tell me you're playing Locke's Quest or Little King's Story.

the original .hack// series on the PS2

You reminded me I need to finish that series. My problem is I always get to Outbreak...and then get the desire to completely play through G.U. I do love the original series, but the combat just pales in comparison. But either way, you're not alone, as since I let my friend borrow G.U. recently, I've definitely been thinking about getting back to it. Unfortunately Mutation and Quarantine are missing somewhere >.<

Recently I've been playing Heros of Might and Magic 2. I doubt anyone is playing this gem anymore. In truth, I'm really bad at it, but it's just so much fun and I like the tactical side of it.

Dont worry You are'nt the only one me and my mate play it occasionally.

I currantly play "Mark of Kri" and i very much doubt anyone else does since it wasnt played when it came out XD

Rayman Origins: I've heard NO one talk about this yet others go on and on about that Mario Wii game that made me want to kill my friends over(bumping against friends, ENRAGING thanks Nintendo) it's 4 player 2D platforming heaven. It's beautiful, has great music, 4-player co-op, is a fun game that brings challenge.

I'm playing that game... I just find it pretty boring, to be honest. Too much in common with NSMBW - right down to getting "bubblefied" when you die. It's a beautiful game (visually at least. I'm not fond of the audio), and a solid platformer, but that's all it is - a solid platformer. It really doesn't bring much new to the table, which is a shame. NSMBW brought in a solid (if frustrating) multiplayer aspect, Donkey Kong Country Returns had amazing level design with dynamic environments, Kirby's Return to Dreamland took the copy ability to the next level... it's not that Rayman Origins is a BAD game, because it's not at all, it's just after those three titles I'm kinda platformed out, and Origins doesn't do enough to get me excited again. You could put that more down to bad timing that anything else though.

EUROPEANS.

Y U NO PLAY XENOBLADE!?

I'm playing Xenoblade :3

Personally I thought Mario Brothers Wii was just infuriating with more than 1 other player, bouncing off your friends that had me shot down a deathpit so often. I've never been into Donkey Kong so that's just out for me, like you said about Rayman by no means bad just something I've not been into.
Return to Dreamland I haven't played more than a few levels but it isn't as fun as Super Star to me, that's one big problem with nintendos new titles, I like their original 2D games better than their new 2.5D games.

Their GBA games were also just fantastic but most of their new games...just something about them. There's exceptions, Wario Land that game is fantastic as well as the Prime tiles were flat out great.

Rayman might be better off played with friends, 2-3 was really fun. But if it's not for you that's fine. I played it through with a number of friends and the game was just flat out fun with charming humor. I never played it solo so maybe that takes something out of it. I thought the levels were designed really well and had a lot of things to break them up.

Way of the Samurai.... 1.
Thats right, the original for the PS2!
And Monster Hunter. Also the original one for the PS2~!

Don't feel alone on Way of the Samurai, I regularly go back and play that series and actually have totally cleared the original with all endings and some epic weaponry. Also, I have had many late night multiplayer sessions that make me wish they would put that feature back in!!!

Also... I could cry about 4 not coming here, I really could, mind you I'd have to channel myself at like 14, but I could... Haha.

 

[Constable Narwhal]

Brutal Legend, just seems like the multiplayer dropped off the face of the earth.

 

[Scrustle]

- Project Sylpheed

I have that! But I haven't played it for ages since I got really stuck. It's the mission where you have to defend your mother ship from being attacked while it's getting refueled in the clouds in some planet's atmosphere. How the hell do you do that mission?

I also used to have Zack and Wiki but I hated that game so much.

OT: Not really playing many super obscure games right now but I do own a lot. Kaido Racer 2, SRS, Auto Modellista and I-Ninja on PS2. Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Link's Crossbow Training on Wii. Flatout Ultimate Carnage, Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga, Infinite Undiscovery, Amped 3, Project Sylpheed (duh), Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, and Mirror's Edge (if that counts) on 360. And Stubbs The Zombie on Xbox.

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Last Half of Darkness: Society of the Serpent Moon

It was the best horror title of 2011 , and was completely ignored. Think Silent Hill without the crap bits.

 

[Pat8u]

anno 2070 noone seems to have heard of it

its a game were you build up a city and you can choose between two sides kind i think its good

You forgot to mention the flooding.

My girlfriend plays.

god dammit why did you make me search this game,now I need to buy this game after my cap resets which is in 6 days arrggh why did you do this to me!

Edit: Arggh screw it Im going to one of the local game stores to look for it tommorow.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I'm pretty sure no-one is playing Chromehounds at the moment. Mainly because they took the servers down in January 2010. Why-oh-why did I have to put off getting broadband until December 2009?!? Curse you cruel fate...

So anyway, yeah. Chromehounds - awesome game, needs a sequel. Or the servers brought back online. One of the two. I don't care which.

Also I currently have a game of Master of Orion 2 windowed on my machine, I'd be (pleasantly) surprised to find Escapists still playing that.

 

[Rabish Bini]

Rockstar Table Tennis for the 360

Quality game

 

[satanslawer123]

the first grandia game for ps1 im sure as hell that very few people are playing in the past year ive only found one or two other people who have been playing this reacently

 

[scw55]

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
They all seem to be hiding behind their RCT3 Community forums. There's never a RCT3 thread on generic gaming sites. It saddens me. I want to socialise with players who aren't that good but still enjoy it. It's rather demoralizing seeing what other people make.

 

[butternut]

Syndicate. I played this when I was about 4 or 5 and thought it was hilarious even though I didn't understand it at all.

I did play it again recently, however, and the graphics are alot worse than I remember and yet so familiar.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Duke Nukem Forever

I played it thrice: once on easy, once on hard and, once on the hardest difficulty + cheats. The best parts of the game (my opinion) were the parts were you just mess around, not doing anything productive or, violent. Like when you eat all of the doughnuts or, drink all of the soda from a machine.

As for OP, I loved the Bloody Roar games I played. I don't remember which exactly but I only ever played the PSX ones. It's too bad that series hasn't really took off, I loved the concept.

---

In this age where Pokemon has transcended colors and precious stones, I doubt anybody is playing Leaf Green or, Red (more or less active on both). I'm also pretty sure people who are playing the original Doom aren't playing it on the N64 like I kind of am (kind of neglecting it at the moment). I wonder if anyone else is playing Dark Void...

 

[Necroid_Neko]

Venetica

- Fragile Dreams

Played both of them, I found Venetica to be hilarious for its flaws but badly designed on so many levels. Fragile Dreams on the other hand was suprisingly good, though far too short (ignoring the simplistic combat because I don't really care acout combat mechanics)

Personally I'm looking forwards to when the sun comes back out so I can finally beat the knight bloke at the top of the first game's tower on Boktai (it requires trading between games, I ended up buyng myself another copy due to completionist ocd and not knowing anyone, anywhere ever who played it too). Doubt anyone else will be doing that when they could be at the beach instead :L

I currantly play "Mark of Kri" and i very much doubt anyone else does since it wasnt played when it came out XD

Ah, the Mark of Kri. I remember that game as the one with the disney like graphics where you play a barbarian slamming dudes heads into cliffs. Loved it.

I'm playing Mother 3 right now. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about and damn everything I heard about it was correct. As soon as I started I played 12 hours straight.

 

[Blunderboy]

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis.
What? I'm reading the book at the moment I wanted to build my own park damn it.
I modded it to allow me to have up to 999 dinosaurs instead of 60.

 

[Corporal Yakob]

I finally managed to aquire a copy of MGS3: Snake Eater after months and months of whinning and moaning at different EB stores, I bet no-one else is feeding on a tree frog!
