I think that the FPS BLACK should be a Cult Classic, it had fantastic destructible environments for its time.
I'd actually recommend the other two games much more highly, although I'd be hard pressed to tell which which is better between those two. Gaia has better pacing and the combat is perhaps better designed, while Terranigma is overall a larger game, perhaps more a traditional RPG, and has probably the better overall story. If you're into SNES era RPGs both are must-plays.Pariahwulfen said:
Also, there seems to be some ambiguity on what constitutes a cult classic, I thought the general understanding was that it's something which has a devoted fanbase but did not do well commercially, and may or may not have done well critically?
Critical acclaim isn't too important. The primary element is the cult.MorteTheSkull said:
OT:I don't know if Freedom Force is a cult classic. It's underrated an all, but I haven't gauged the devotion of it's fanbase.

Fuck Yeah, you both ninja'd me and get kudos. Also, while we talk about God Hand: Also, Killer 7. You should play it for the staircases.SageRuffin said:
...Probably Halo 3. I mean, no one got that game.
In all seriousness, probably Munch's Oddyssey. Maybe Duke Nukem, 1 & 2. Everyone just thinks of Duke as he is in that hunk of junk "Duke Nukem 3D".
Perhaps Commander Keen, as well. I love that game.

I don't agree with that being called a cult classic. I think it is just a regular classic. It is very mainstream.Lordmarkus said:
Again, maybe I have the wrong definition of cult classic but I don't think these fit the bill. They were extremely popular and extremely mainstream.r0manz said:
I'll add one of my own though. "Giants: Citizen Kabuto". So rarely spoken of but those hwo have played it loved it.
Hrm...
Possibly Xenogears (dont really think its a cult classic, as much as the fans of it are practically a cult)
Definitely Vagrant story.
Jade empire
The longest journey as well as Dreamfall.
SaGa frontier 2 (the only Saga game truly worth owning... I said after I have bought all of them at full release price)
Panzer Dragoon Zwei (perhaps Orta as well)
Dragon force
Silent Hill 4: The room
Indigo prophecy/Farenheit
Long list of others that i cannot think of at the moment.

Killer 7. Bought that game on a whim out of a bargain bin, easily the best ten bucks I've ever spent on a game.
And for the $20 price mark, props go to Deadly Premonition. You may be as ugly as sin and about as insane as the old folks home on LSD and Bingo Night, but damn you are a wonderful game.
