A game no one seems to remember. O_O

[Withall]

I personally liked Septerra Core- an old game (which featured the (rather sparse)soundtrack of... something O'Donnell, of Halo fame), which was very much like an americanised version of a JRPG. Look it up on TVtropes or Wikipedia if you can.

 

[Kinguendo]

Some of my favourite games are games people have either never heard of or forgot about.

Spoiler: Uncharted Waters 2!

Am I looking forward to the Uncharted Waters MMO that is going into beta tomorrow? You bet your (presumably) sweet ass I am!

Spoiler: Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance!

Love this game, cant understand why people didnt like it. Raven (the main guy) is easily one of my favourite characters ever... everyting he said was just awesome!

Spoiler: Loaded!

I would be VERY surprised if anyone has played this game.

 

[CheckD3]

Geist, on GC and possibly other systems. You're a ghost who has to haunt his way back to his body...it's insanely fun, and almost never talked about

I would have continued to complain that no one ever gives Sly Cooper the time of day but now he's coming into the new gen with last years clothes on, but it's nice to see the old boy get some love finally

 

[cantdoright]

I'll say Chrono Cross, much better than Trigger, cool battles and colorful. Amazing game.

I played that at my cousins but never beat it, was one of my first RPGs

mine is martian gothic and Oddworld.

 

[Snipermanic]

Dark Colony was a fantastic game, but the only fanbase I've seen for it has been some spanish (or possibly Portugese/Latin American) fansite :[

finally someone else! I think that was the only game I've never been able to complete

 

[Stormfire Rebellion]

I played loaded once i think....

 

[YepGeddon]

Ape Escape, the original PSN title, I remember it being the first ever game that I played that used analog sticks and my god it fucked with my head so hard... (also apologies if someone already said it, thread is TLDR heh..)

 

[Ldude893]

Rise of Nations. Such an underated RTS. It might even be my allt ime favorite game. But no one else cares.

I do.

 

[Keppler]

I've never met anybody else who's played/owns

Spoiler: Blast Corps

Damn Backlash was impossible to control. I loved the Jetpack mech on the other hand.

I actually beat the entire game 100%. Platinum on everything. The backlash skill level wasn't the last one I completed...but it was among them. Something like five buildings in eight seconds. Getting the last rank in the game was the single most satisfying thing I've done on a video game console.

Okay, maybe I was just bad at it.

Why do you have to make fun of me? :<

When you complete a task as stupidly tedious and hard as that, you're required to flaunt it

 

[shadowyoasis]

Stratos was the greatest God there was in that game: he was an smug bastard but he was so blatantly open about it that I loved that character! I still play that game from time to time, it's relaxing because it's different than all the poo/ash coloured fps or the standard rts model which these days seems to be about not building goddamn bases which I miss.

Still play Sacrifice every once in awhile, some of the end game spells still make me smile despite the crappy graphics compared today. No other game exists like it not even Overlord is anywhere near it.

Also best god was Charnel, by far.

I've played a lot of obscure games, in fact in this entire thread there was only like two games I haven't played. But I've gotten rid of 90% of them so I can't even comment to what their names are anymore.

I'm just going to throw this game out there since its one of those less talked about ones you can probably till get your hands on without much effort and its AMAZING.

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders

Also check out,

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes

Although the first is better than the second, the second has more replayability.

If your looking for an obscure PSN game, Shellshock or Heroes of Might and Magic.

Legend of Legaia was brought up, but its one of the best JRPGs I've played. Better than Legend of the Dragoon and I own both.

I got KUF because I owned the original PC RTS, I liked it a lot so figured anything coming off of that shouldn't be bad. I wasn't disappointed, it isn't an RTS not in the sense you'd think of it but wow. If you like sacrifice play Crusaders, just do it.

 

[Vhite]

Spoiler

Anyone?

I loved that game. Too bad my disc for it is pretty much destroyed.

Mine got destroyed as well so I just downloaded it, I dont see anything wrong with that when I already bought the game.

 

[Cosmic Naginata]

Starsomething gemini. See, I can't even correctly remember the title. Does anyone remember what the actual title was?

Is it Rare's Jet Force Gemini for N64?

Edit: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis for PC and Eternal Darkness for GC?

 

[Kiju]

I seem to be one of two people who has even heard of this game. Me, and my dad. :\

 

[blankedboy]

How I loved that game. Honestly, nothing beats a hovertank with a tether guided PRACTICAL FUCKING NUKE.

And a couple arc sabers, molecular distortion mortars, somic burst cannons and BOUNCY LASEURS!

Also it has a nude beach easter egg. Go play the game.

EDIT: I forgot the Freon Burst cannon which fires masses of ultra-cold cooling agent that freezes enemies. Then you burn them with the flamethrower-y thing and they shatter. Good fun.

 

[Reveras]

Oh another that popped into my head was Freelancer - the only space rpg game I have ever liked, even played it online too.

That was a great game and speaking of space games does anyone recall Infinite Space for the DS?

 

[TheGothicGamingGeek]

10 pages long and only one person has mentioned Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu for the PS1? You should be ashamed. I have 2 copies of that game because I wore the first one out by playing it too much. The only way I can describe it is sorta anime + Dragon quest monsters + an RPG, but that really doesn't do the awesomeness of it justice. You can merge monsters together and create entirely new monsters, not like DQM where you just get a logical advancement.

Seriously, imagine playing pokemon, sending out your critter to fight, then just going 'actually my monster is a bit crap, lets just hit the enemy with a spear instead' and going and fighting the enemy with your weapons. It's plot and characters were awesome too, but it was a little hard to get into because of the strangeness(you capture new critters by blowing your flute at them, and you get money by spinning your monsters into silk. What. the. hell.)

It has a sequel, for the PS2, which sold terribly and was worse. 2 strayed from the fantastic original too much and made some strange new battle system and took out the merging and made your character a 10 year old boy with the mental age of a 3 year old. Also you couldn't even catch the critters, you had to hatch them from random eggs you found in the forest. It's barely even similar to the last one.

Also nthing Tombi!(or Tomba! if you're American), Future Cop LAPD(seriously everyone get out there and play that game now it's bloody fantastic), Populous: the beginning, Hogs of War, Rollcage and Creatures(I never really liked creatures, but damn it was well made)

 

[ayailla]

Anyway, anyone remember Omikron: The Nomad Soul?

I was gonna say this one. Loved that game. Can't beat a bit of soul transferral mixed with terrorist actions, demons and a bit of David Bowie thrown in there for good measure. Did you go to the secret gigs? Haha. Loved those things.

 

[Firia]

I can think of a few;

Spoiler: Colony Wars

If you captured just the space shooter aspect of say, Battlestar Galactica, you'd have Colony Wars, a ps1 spaceship flight sim. You were always some nameless (well, you named them) pilot that flew a fighter for the League of Free Worlds (rebels). The space combat was sharp, and the story was crafted out of your gameplay. Each encounter had win/lose conditions. If you lost, by say, blowing up, the war continued, and you would (presumeably) take on the role of a new pilot. That battle would have been lost, and the direction of the League would be forced to go elsewhere. I would play through the game each time winning and losing battles just to see where the mission tree would take me next.

At the time, there was no better space fighter sim. The explosions were satasfying, the ships compelling, the dog fights engaging, and the weapons diverse.

Opening cinematic

the voice acting in this video is in german. Actually sounds kinda cool!

Spoiler: Blackthorne

Blackthrone was the melding of platforming masterpieces and "Out of the World." Granted the ladder had more scripted scenes, but the game play was similar. Also, it had attitude coming out of everywhich way. Blizzard Entertainment combined with Interplay (makers of some very good games back in the day).

Personal preference; the SNES version. While the 32X supported marginally better graphics, it's midi tracks were signifigantly less badass. So the SNES version just had more 'tude, which made the game for me.

There's an SNES game that was heavily inspired by Out of This World, and I'm wracking my brain trying to remember what it was called. It was an early PS1 game too. So, it looked like poop, but it was good fun. - I found it!

Spoiler: Fade to Black

Essentually Flashback 2, which was made by the same guy that did Flashback 1 and Out of this World, it follows Conrad in his escape through... well, I forget where. But it was the progenitor of 3D games as we know them today. One of the games appeal back in the day was the number of ways Conrad could die. He could be shot, hit by an explosive, fall to his death, be electricuted, poisoned, sucked into space... really, it was almost as much fun to get him killed to see HOW he died just following that.

 

[ayailla]

I wanna go ahead and throw Planescape: Torment in here. I just beat it (again) like, 5 minutes ago. Lots of people might have played it but, it's not been mentioned yet. That and Omikron have been my favourite PC games for a long while.

Oh yeah... and some more old classics for the PC.

Puzzle games, The 7th Guest, and the sequel, The 11th Hour. Anybody remember those? Hands up if you know who Henry Stauf is.
Those were awesome. They had a bizzare storyline, where Henry Stauf was a toymaker who killed children using his toys, then built a massive mansion and invited people into it only to torment them with bizzare puzzles and, eventually, kill them. I don't even remember the storyline to 11th Hour but I plan on replaying it soon to find out.
