Games you're convinced nobody else is playing?

[CoL0sS]

If I had to go by my friends alone than it's probably every damn game I've played in last two years. Anyway, some of the stuff I recently played that aren't mentioned that often:

Tenchu 2: Birth of the stealth Assassins
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
Call of Ctulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Beyond Good & Evil (OK,OK, I know a lot of people are talking about this one, even if it's just crying about the sequel)
Flight of the Amazon Queen

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

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.

I play it! I'm shit at making the damn rollercoaster thingys, but I rule at making money. My husband is envious because I've never failed a campaign mission.

I love the game to death - especially when I'm in a bad mood and just want to pop balloons and drown people

 

[Whodat]

Orcs Must Die! and Payday: The Heist.

To date; I've only ever seen Grandia 2 in one person's game collection. I haven't played that game in about 10 years but I loved it. I've been searching for it for years but can't find it anywhere.

try one of those second hand game stores its where i found my copy truly awesome game

the saboteur

flawed...interesting..but flawed

I played it for a while. I know I played up to the Zeppelin part and then a bit after, but then got sick of all the driving. And I was already frustrated at it for a different part when you lead the Nazis into an ambush. That blonde lady kept on trying to charge straight into all the Nazis and died quickly, making me instafail.

Than and I was playing on an SD TV back then and the black and white sections were a little tough on the eyes.

I dont think my TV was Idealy optimised at the time..but YES even with HD I couldnt tell what the hell was going on..it was a nice stylistic Idea but I didnt work

and of coarse that natzi stripper officer....

I played Saboteur. Good game, the nazi officer was hot. Shame she was only on screen for about..... 10 seconds

greed corp very hard to find an online game

 

[Luke3184]

Stranglehold servers, went on it a couple of years ago over a period of a year, only one person online and it was always the same guy. My friend had a similar experiance a year later with the same guy.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

John Woo's Stranglehold.

I fucking love that game. Something about every single kill being a flying dive with doves coming out of my ass is just awesome.

 

[ROBOTwithHUMANhair]

Valkyrie Profile Lenneth...

Trying to complete a Pure Valkyrie only Seraphic Gate run and also reaching level 100 with all characters with maxed out equipment and stats.

 

[newdarkcloud]

Folklore
Wild Arms
Dark Cloud
Alpha Protocol

 

[Wolfram23]

It's like a gamer-hipster showdown in here!

Haha kidding, of course...

I don't think I'm playing any sort of obscure games right now. But I have played Sim Ant which was awesome...

 

[JackandTom]

Goldeneye: Rogue Agent on the Gamecube

I still play that and Nightfire on my Xbox. Goldeneye was very underrated in my opinion.

Other obscure titles I still play Eveything or Nothing on my Xbox and loads more that I can't currently think of....

 

[The Austin]

Dude, the .Hack series was awesome.

As for me, I still consider Brutal Legend as one of the most awesome games of the current console generation. Too bad it's online multiplayer sucks.

 

[NvrPhazed]

Battlezone II : Combat Commander is probably my favorite game ever. Seriously check this one out. It is a might glitchy but there are unofficial patches that help it out a lot.

 

[Neiloken]

The legacy of Kain series

 

[djAMPnz]

I still love playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Also, Vexx is an awesome game, I wish I'd bought it for the xbox. Also another game I loved that no one else seemed to play (or had even heard of really) was Oddworld: Strangers Wrath.

 

[Anthony Wells]

Tiny tank. man that game was and is fun..flawed but had some great comedy to it.

 

[FalloutJack]

Probably Project Overkill.

It's an obscure Konami game in which you are playing a group of mercenaries hired to essentially kill everything on a colonized planet that your bosses want to occupy. There is no hero here, because it seems that while the government on the planet is fairly evil, your bosses are ruthless bastards for sending you on missions specifically to kill, destroy, sabotage, and so on.

There is one VERY IMPORTANT thing to note about this game, though: The escort missions can be skipped.

THANK you I forgot the name to that game, had it ages ago and have no idea what happened to it.


Games that I think no one knows about...hm, there's a lot of those actually.

Ranger-X Genesis, fantastic game in about every dept minus story, it's an action platformer? With a mech that you can merge into a motorcycle that follows you.

Flashback Quest For Identity: More people seem to know about the other game they made "Out of this World" or "Another World" but it's basically a 2D uncharted for Genesis, Dos, SNES(not so good), Amiega, Sega CD

Darksiders: A recent game that I'm pretty sure everyone dismissed for stupid reasons. It's a great mix of Devil May Cry, God of War and Zelda, their inspiration is obvious but it's pulled off well.

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.

And now, to do you a good turn. I've played Flashback. In fact, I'm of the opinion that it's a good enough game that plenty of people have. Hell, YAHTZEE has played Flashback.

Ring of Red for the PS2. Giant diesel-powered mech turn-based strategy game. Pretty niche, no voice acting, looked kinda ugly, only knew two people who ever heard of it.

 

[SycoMantis91]

As for me, I'm currently re-playing through Psi-Ops and finally playing through Earthbound. Two underrated classics of different generations.

Not playing it now but Psi-Ops is still one of the most innovative games I've ever played. Why won't they make a current gen version?

I agree. That's on my wish list of games I wanna see made. That, a new Darkstalkers, a proper new Bloody Roar, etc etc. Could go on for days lol
