Games you're convinced nobody else is playing?

[lacktheknack]

The Introversion Bundle sold the fewest of the Humble Bundles by a significant margin, much to my utter chagrin. And even of those that bought, I hear them talking about Darwinia and DEFCON.

WHERE'S THE LOVE FOR UPLINK?!

Uplink holds my two awards for "Most Intense Game" and "Most Immersive Game", how is it that no one seems to play it?!

 

[Xerosch]

There are some games in my collection of which even I don't know how I found them. Surprisingly, I found most of them flawed, but really interesting:

- Rule of Rose (check it out the intro for multiple psychopaths)
- Spy Fiction
- Echo Night Beyond
- Hellnight
- Haunting Ground
- Darkwatch
- Otogi
- Crimson Sea
- Okage
- Folklore
- Zack & Wiki
- Calling
- Fragile Dreams
- Ninja Blade
- Project Sylpheed
- Hellboy: Science of Evil

Digimon World for the PS1.
I'm positive no-one in the world is playing it, seeing as It is difficult as hell to digivolve your 'mon into something other than Fucking Numemon, which has LOWER stats than it's previous form! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS BANDAI!

 

[=HCFS=Discoman]

Multiplayer games i find nobody in that are actually fun games:
Jailbreak source (which is free)
Fortress forever (very few people)
Monday night combat (very few people)

It's been a while since I saw anyone in jailbreak, and the other two games are lucky if they have one full server

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red...

Also Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (Shockwave).

 

[FalloutJack]

anno 2070 noone seems to have heard of it

You forgot to mention the flooding.

My girlfriend plays.

Come on, it's OLD !
It's hack and slash cRPG.
There are no quests, no roleplay, no joinable characters with dark past...

Hehe, I remember that game from when I was a kid. Always got that Numemon or the yellow turd.
My sister managed to get Wargreymon or something, somehow. She got pretty far.

OT: Uuh, some old Pink Panther games I got for PC. Pretty sure no one plays them anymore... or ever did.

 

[Ectoplasmicz]

Im trying to think really hard (its late and very hot) but i cant quite remember the names of a couple games on PSX :/

On a somewhat related note, I popped in COD: Worls at War (not obscure or unknown by any means, i loved it though) into my ps3 and was shocked to find 17 people online. 17!? Surely its more popular than that, i had no clue it had died so quickly.

 

[malkavianmadman]

Exile 3 Ruined world. Old shareware game from my high school days absolutly loved it. Now i have the full version but sadly it doesnt run too well on Win 7

 

[BreakfastMan]

Well, I just started playing an old PS2 game called Project Eden. I would wager very few people are playing that one or even know what it is. Also, I have an unplayed copy of Primal laying around that I plan on playing eventually.

I love me some old games. Cheap as hell, and usually still good after all these years. Many of my favorite memories come from playing games 5, 7, hell, even 12 years after they were released.

 

[kouriichi]

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

 

[BlueMage]

Facebook suggests to me that everyone feels so entitled regarding free content/DLC and stuff being "stripped out that should've been in at release!" and therefore everyone has traded in their copy of Space Marine.

I find this to be bullshit.

I got Uplink from the Introversion bundle, and it's my favourite game out of the pack. It's astonishing that they could make such an immerisve game using nothing but a GUI.

the saboteur

flawed...interesting..but flawed

Thank you Vault101 it was interesting

but Jedi Power Battles for PS1 that game was boss

 

[Squilookle]

the saboteur

flawed...interesting..but flawed

Flawed it may be, but for story, characters and atmosphere I'd put it in the top 5% of all sandboxes I've ever played. Sure it's no Mercenaries Playground of Destruction, but it was a hell of a swansong for Pandemic all the same.

And the ending. My god, the ending...

 

[Zhukov]

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.

HAHA! I have totally played that!

My 8-year-old self derived immense enjoyment from leading charges o the red nests. The spiders used to freak me out. They just sit there, not moving at all, before suddenly running you down.

Exile 3 Ruined world. Old shareware game from my high school days absolutly loved it. Now i have the full version but sadly it doesnt run too well on Win 7

Once again, totally played that. I used to love Spiderweb Software games.

Free hint: for the love of God, don't decline Erika's gift. If you do, you will find yourself on the receiving end of a truly colossal dick move.

Also, the golem factory is a pain.

 

[killercyclist]

now i know i'm not the only one playing, but i seriously think i'm one of the very very few that enjoyed rage. i go online and it feels like cobwebs....

 

[Snotnarok]

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.

 

[thahat]
