The Underappreciated Gems of Gaming

[Crowser]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Its such a great game yet underrated, shame the gaming community didn't pick up on it.

Is this trolling? cos god damn I'm angry now. I think you should leave "Crowser"

And the first victim of sarcasm falls! ... Unless your comment was sarcastic and then I'm the fool.

Otogi Myth of Demons
Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

.........and VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!

 

[Christemo]

Heroes of Might and magic 3-5. best turn-based strategy game of all time.

Titan Quest. Best RPG of all time (single player most of the time, but it has online play and a map editor).

Dawn of War: Soulstorm. Best of the DOW series, but it was not very well known and DOW2 has ruined the entire franchise.

I only played Heroes of might and magic 3, and loved it. Which would you say is the best out of the 3 listed?

number 4 featured heroes as units too. but at level 25 with 1 or 2 heroes, you was invincible if you had vampirism.

number 5 was like number 3, and was really awesome, had a better story and was generally better. but i favor number 3 as it was the first game i ever played.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Chaos Legion. Totally slept on but much better than the corny Devil May Cry games and had a better story.

Keep seeing that one about. Looks like another one to try out then.

Second Sight anyone?

 

[Khazoth]

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines

Septerra Core (The ONLY good turn based game in exsistance)

Planescape Torment

Mirror's Edge

Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

Neocron 2

Second Sight

Sanitarium (I can't fucking stress how original and involving the story of this game is, its one of my top five of all times.)

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner

Saints Row (The Original)

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

One game I can't remember the name of, it was fantasy-esque with factions such as chaos and light and all that jazz, it was a good game.

The Original Unreal, before all that tournament nonsense



The fact that most of you have never even fucking heard of Sanitarium/Septerra Core/Shogo makes me more comfortable in my position as a misanthrope.

Really? I liked Dark Crusade much more for the for the multiplayer and I liked Dawn of War 2 much more than the rest of them for the epic story driven csmpaign.

Okami, that game just has so much charm, a great story, and beautiful artwork.

 

[Piecewise]

[Bradfucius]

Halo 3. Its a shame not many people bought this.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

Psychonauts and Beyond good and evil spring to mind for me.

Valkyria Chronicles - Already said, but I can't stress enough how great this game is. If you own a PS3 you have no excuse to not give it a rental at least.

 

[Gaderael]

ActRaiser 2 for the SNES was one of my favorite games growing up. Never heard many other people talk about it though.

 

[Khazoth]

Also, EoE: Eve of Extinction. Wait, I have to explain this.

The game was mediocre in every aspect, the story was bland, the gameplay was repetitive, but I distinctly remember having a blast with it.

I don't know why, I just did. Maybe it was because I was young and stupid, or maybe because I was unspoiled by the great games of the future.

Beyond good and evil

This. Considering we never got it in Australia.

But I completely agree with Silicon Valley. It's pretty tough to find another friend who's even heard of it.
