What Games Would You Consider A "Cult Classic"?

[DigitalSushi]

Portal 2 isn't out yet, so we can't call it a cult classic, it has a cult following but since its not out its not a cult classic.

Dude, the first post said Postal 1 and 2.

yeah I know, I quick read that bit, in my haste to be a smart arse poster I made myself look like a complete douche. It probably wont teach me though!

I recently saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show and wondered "what video games would you consider a cult classic?"

my moneys on Postal 1 & 2, The Battlecruiser series, Nethack and Shenmue

What do you think?

Portal 2 isn't out yet, so we can't call it a cult classic,

He said postal 1 and 2 not portal, they are totally different games.

and I'm the one that's getting called a quick reader, i've already said I was wrong about that twice!, this is the third time!.

My bad!

Its cool dude, I dont actually mind wearing out my keyboard, its what I bought it for.

on topic, have I mentioned Killer 7?, the tutorial is done by your gimp, that has to be cult classic.

Timesplitters series, prince of persia series, Heroes of might and magic 3 (and none of the other ones!) and all the 2D worms games.

The Total War series seems like a good fit; it's considerably well-known, but only appeals greatly to a condensed number of people.

ya those are good games i cant wait to play empires (if my computer can run the damn thing i had probly running medieval 2 so im probly going to have to upgrade

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

there is this little known game called Luminous Arc. It's recent, but quite good.

 

[ee00]

Typing of the dead anyone?

 

[Slift]

Perfect Dark (The good one... Remember that? Back on the 64?)
The Dark Forces line (Star Wars: Dark Forces, Dark forces 2: Jedi knight, Jedi knight 2: Jedi outcast, Jedi Academy)
Psychonauts
Grim Fandango
Monkey Island series (Mainly for the forgotten by most part)


And i'd put Mass Effect... But most people still remember it, maybe in five or six years it'll be a cult classic.

 

[sturryz]

Daggerfall

dang, what else is there?

 

[Bocaj2000]

Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing.
Me and my friends play it every day just to laugh at it.

YES!!!! I'm not the only one hahaha

EDIT: Mass Effect is a definate. I love that game and nobody I know has ever played it all the way through.

 

[DigitalSushi]

Your calling them scum.
That's what outraged me.
And you quick read.

HAHAHAAHAH
I quick read do I?, touche.

Could you point out to me where I called 4chan scum?, here is my quote below, please bold where I fucking said that quick reader.

Portal 2 isn't out yet, so we can't call it a cult classic, it has a cult following but since its not out its not a cult classic.

With regards to cult classics, I guess Deus Ex is one, its the one game that isn't flamed by /v/irgins or /b/tards.

Killer7 and Shadow of Collosus must be cult classics, when I bought them I was commended by randoms in the shop and the shop staff regarding my purchase, and no one tried to spoil the plot for me.

Flame wars?
And...
It's implied.

I didn't say flame wars, i said flamed, and its true Deus Ex doesn't get flamed on 4chan, clearly you dont use it.

and its implied, by you!, not me.

I expect a retraction from you, since everything you say I've mentioned about 4chan is fabricated by yourself.

Halo, because the fanboyism around the game is essentially a cult.

 

[Grayjack]

I would say Valkyria Chronicles. I love the game, but it was ignored by pretty much the whole world.

 

[Lost In The Void]

I'm gonna go with the original Command and Conquer. Excellent game with a few flaws, devoted fans and a franchise spawner. Its a shame that its latest child was dropped on its head

 

[Zetsubou-Sama]

Age Of Empires II´
Silent Hill Series
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy Tactics
Fatal Frame Series
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
Sonic Adventure 2
Typing Of The Dead
Parasite Eve series
Sim City is pretty cult hit when compared to Sims
Star Ocean
Xenosaga
Kingdom Hearts was pretty cult standard for some time
I'd also put Starcraft there
Fina Fantasy X-2
The Original Nights
Psychonauts

System Shock 2
