Your favorite unappreciated video game

[b0bs0]

Probably Mount and Blade. If you can see past the incredibly low production value, it's truly a great RPG!

Drakengard, I liked it, I remember sticking it out with a sword that did like 5, 10, 15 damage on it's levels 1, 2 and 3, then level 4 it hit 183! Game play was good, if a bit Dynasty Warriors repetitive and story was difficult to follow at some points, cursed translations and cut outs, but it was a very good game, that no-one ever seems to talk about.

Future Cop: LAPD on the PS1 and PC, damn that game was/is good, thank you PSN!

geist

it had some real originality to it that unfortunetly got buried because nobody saw anything but its admittedly mediocre FPS action

 

[Dark Knifer]

Metal arms, that game was awsome. Repuplic commando was also good.

I think Dead Space gets a lot of flak, I don't know why, I thought it was pretty scary and it has decent action.

Glover is one game I love just for being as strange as it is, no one else seems to like it though.

And the Resident Evil remake for Gamecube was TERRIFYING the first time I played it.

I dont know why I just cant stand dead space. Its just sooo bland. At least to me. I forgot about glover. I loved that game. I remember the one part where you had a giant robot and had to shoot balls at the other giant robot. Ahhh good times. (I will also never forget the scream my glove let out when he fell off the earth. Because god knows I did it enough times.)

I just love bouncing.

It could've been better, but it was fun and unique enough to be memorable.

I believe that was one of those rare games that wer so hard that cheating was almost mandatory

OT: It may just be me but most Flight Simulator games outside of a small fanbase, got almost no love for the majority of gamer

mirrors edge. some of the most fun i have ever had playing video games was in that game. its absolutely amazin.

 

[DMonkey]

Oh wow, Whiplash, defiantly an under appreciated game, thank you aimhellfire for reminding me...
That was a fun game...
Glitchy, but fun... the weasel wasn't retarded though, he just didn't give a crap about the rabbit...

My pick would be Sacred... a Diablo clone that surpassed the original as far as size, and game play...

Jak 2

[camokkid]

Jet Set Radio Future.

My first time ever seeing cell-shaded graphics. I loved it.

this.

a million times this

I got this free with my first xbox on a double disc that had that game, a racing game, and several other demos

we still play it to this day

 

[S4rdonyx]

Guardians Crusade for playstation... that game was so underrated. Everyne just thinks its a kids game until they get into it, the story is really really good. Fun times XD

 

[chozo_hybrid]

Destroy All Humans, obviously.



And Skies of Arcadia; most people have apparently never heard of that one but its such a good RPG.

That would be one of mine too.

But my main one would be the Legacy of Kain series, I don't know anyone else who's even played them.

 

[SarBni]

I really enjoyed Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, but I've never heard it mentioned anywhere ever...

 

[Siegreich]

Anything from the Shin Megami Tensei series in particular the persona games, disgaea, and Jean D'Arc, all great games and yet most people have never heard of them, sad really.

I read a lot of reviews that said Mercenaries (the first one) and Prototype were badly designed, giving them something in the vicinity of 7 out of 10. I don't know if this makes the games underrated, but I had a huge amount of fun with both, sinking embarrassing numbers of hours into them. So either I have bad taste in games or I like to have original thoughts once in a while.

I don't know if Second Sight is underrated, but no one else I know has even heard of it and I really liked it, so I'll throw it in there too.

They aren't my favorite games of all time, mind, but I had to stay on topic.

 

[GraegoriHauss]

The Myst series.

"ZOMG, HE LIKES TO THINK?! BURN HIM!!!"

 

[The Heik]

A Bard's Tale. People really didn't notice it but I thought it was a hilarious satire about all the generic go-save-the-princess-at-the-top-of-the-tower bullshit. While granted the game play was a bitrepetitive and it suffered from the same collect-y feel as Ratchet and Clank, but the game had good challenges and your summoned allies were numerous and varied. If you're into the RPG story and get a chance to play this, do. You will laugh your nipples off

 

[Mister Benoit]

Mario Kart Double Dash, people seem to regard that as the worst Mario Kart, when it's my personal favorite.

100% completed it in the same evening I purchased it.

Multiplayer levels from Mario Kart 64 were better and come to think of it so were the actual levels, Butttttt they did have Boo so I guess thats alright.

FFXI for me I guess, lots of people put it down as a gigantic grind, but its more than that, it's an abnormally huge grind that almost always requires at least 5 other people. The communities for each server I find are rather tight being since you always need people around your bound to run into everyone frequently.

I really liked Patapon, great play.

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

Kingdom Hearts, I and II, sure you had Donald and Goofy as your helpers, but just ignore that part and it's already 100% Better, hell, I can tolerate watching anything with my sis that has Donald and Goofy.

Destroy All Humans. Hey, if you ever start to hate society, blow 'em up this way. It's fun :3.

MediEvil, I can not push that one enough. It was an awesome game that put a feel of horror in with humor, and somehow managed to maintain a straight face even with a hero that's a skeleton with no jaw?
Seriously, this one was a classic, always will and forever be my favorite.

I liked Mercs and prototype a lot too! I especially like Mercs because it is one of the few games that gives me free reign ot level a city with air strikes. That and it's premise of high ranking enemies as cards was oh so merc-y

As may have you noticed, I like to say "Merc"
