Most underrated game ever?

Amen, I had so much fun with this game just tossing people around. The storyline wasn't THAT bad but seeing as how the company went under and left us with a cliffhanger I guess I see where you're comming from....I'm still waiting for Gearbox to finish it. Speaking of which what is the new vaporware joke? Back on topic, some of the characters were so cool, like the mind puppet guy.Legion said:
I'll have to agree with that.the-kitchen-slayer said:
AC4 was OK, but For Answer was in a completely different league. Despite a steep learning curve and some complex controls, it's extremely fun. The customization is insane (but fairly easy to use once you get used to it), and the missions are varied and interesting. The branching paths and endings are all very well done, and ensure that you'll be playing through it a few times to get access to every mission.
The only thing that I disliked about the game was the sheer inhuman tenacity of the AI. The White Glint fight in particular can be insipidly difficult because the enemy dodges constantly and has super-human aiming and maneuvering. Whenever you are called upon to fight a NEXT (or 5 at once in the Chaotic Evil ending) the difficulty goes through the roof...
Good, popular games, but lived in the shadow of others or disliked for some reasons:
Spore
Borderlands
Majora's mask
Normal underated games:
Dark cloud 2
Sonic adventure 2 battle
War of the monsters
Vigilante 8
Bloody roar

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile -- I personally enjoyed this surreal universe, but the end was just devastating. Good thing there's a sequel I need to get!
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee -- A true masterpiece in side-scrolling gaming, but DAMN it's challenging. A great buy, though.
Jet Moto -- A great racing title, and the soundtrack is so amazing, I swear it was composed by Joe Satriani.
XIII -- I loved the comic book atmosphere, and the graphics were amazing as well. Just wished it didn't have a horrible ending like it did.

In all seriousness, I would go with Metro 2033. A couple of good reviews, most said it was shit. Played it for myself and loved it to bits.

Fair enough.I never played Psi-ops so I don't know how they compare but I didn't have any problems with the controls in SSLegion said:
I've managed to play all three of them and I have to agree. The games are essentially Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books in the form of a game. Apparently the series is a bit like the Yakuza franchise in terms of popularity. The fourth game in the series will be coming out in Japan soon, but in the US the games are almost completely unknown (aside from a cult following).Caligulove said:
The sword combat is nuanced and complex, and the story has more paths and branches than any other game I've seen (the third game has 22 endings not including the secret ending where you kill every NPC in the game). The series has kind of a odd sense of humor, but they really aren't meant to be taken seriously. It's quirky, fun, and gives the player more freedom than any other series on the market.
Currently playing Majin and the Foresaken Kingdom, seems no one else has!!! I'm really enjoying it!
Also Lost Kingdoms 1&2 which i mention in every under-rated/unheard of/old/gamecube game thread!

Well, my most underrated game definitely got the hype, but somehow people didn't find it as incredible as I did.
Halo 2.
I still stand by my belief that this was the best multiplayer game of all-time.

Alpha Protocol, hands down. 4 playthroughs, no boredom, each time discovering something different. I just love, love, LOVE the way they handled the choice system as well as respect/disrespect system.
Alpha Protocol on the other hand, is a game, you can beat multiple times, it will always be different in one way or another, and you really feel that you are shaping the story. That's the thing I'm looking for in RPG's, and that's why I liked AP more than ME2. Both are great games IMO, but AP wins thanks to replayability, which ME2 lacks.
I played ME. I had fun. I played ME 2. I had more fun. I tried to play them both again, but I got bored each time, because even after trying with different alignment, the game was completely the same, except for some dialogs and actions, that didn't really mean anything in the long run (the ultimate letdown was the fact, that the new council, after I let the old one die at the end of ME1, turned out to be just as unhelpful as the old one, and again NOTHING changed in the story. What a BS). I'll just keep my save, play ME3 once, probably have fun, and never play the series again.pspman45 said:

Metal Arms: Glitch in the system.
The game was a typical shooter, yes, but it was absolutely smashed by the ratings, in a way it didn't deserve. Sure the plot was strange, but the game play was fantastic. Playing as a little robot, taking control of bigger robots, and a gun that shoots little saws that disable your target's arms without killing them, making their arms point at the ground only and shoot downward, and spin around awkwardly as they ran was one of the most fun things I'd done in a video game up till that point. Its a shame the game didn't see the light it deserved.

Yeah, I played and liked WotS 3, and it's definitely underrated, but this is the prime of example of a game with potential to be Amazing, and turns out just good.Sakurazaki1023 said:
The combat could be less stiff (and the could let you fight multiple opponents at time, because it just looks silly when you kill off footsoldiers one by one), the world could be bigger, and most importantly, the game could've be more stuck-proof. I remember locking myself from any possible ending (no more inklings on the map FOREVER), because I accidentally pushed the 'apologize' button in one cutscene. My friend did similar thing, when he tried to side with Shuzen, but didn't do enough sidequest to actually speak with him directly before the Nobunaga event. Then the gates were locked for him, and he was stuck forever. It really can piss you off, if you played the game for hours, and must start again because of something like that.
