Games that deserved better than what they did

[Hellfire00]

Now we all have our favourite games that we will go back to constantly to relive those memories but how about the games that no one had ever heard of, or thought was rubbish.

This space is basically to show the world how much a game influenced you or deserved higher acclaim than it did.

For me, it's probably Lost Planet 2; sure, the A.I was pretty dumb, but I enjoyed the setting, the graphics, gameplay and explosions, it's an awesome game for me. I also fully understand and have an in depth idea of the vague story ^^

 

[LookingGlass]

Valkyria Chronicles deserved enough sales to make it a viable PS3 series.

I actually feel a bit bad for not buying a PSP just so that I could buy the sequel.

I'd say Black from a few years ago (I had it on PS2) didn't get enough praise, it's hard to describe it but it basic terms it's Call Of Duty before it became a hated francise. Seriously everything blows up, in one difficulty level you have a checklist of things to blow up.

Fable 2, was rocked pretty hard by most reviews... most players say it was terrible but apart from the glitches it really wasn't that bad of a game, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Fable 3 anyway...

Valkyria Chronicles deserved enough sales to make it a viable PS3 series.

Totally agree still my favourite game of this generation even though I only picked it up on a whim. Okami should have done at least as well as any zelda game seeing as how it is Zelda only better and Little kings story on the wii (ai pathfinding excluded) is an awesome game that like most good wii games (outside nintendos own output) just dont sell.

When I was younger I clocked so many hours into the Dynasty Warriors series it was ridiculous. Never mind that people would complain it was the same game rehashed again and again, it was genuine gaming bliss.

white knight chronicles did not deserve all the crap reviews and okami deserved better sales

 

[The Virgo]

I always thought Toy Commander for the Dreamcast was a good game. Of course, I haven't played it in a billion years, so it could just be my memories speaking.

 

[ChaosStep]

Mirror's Edge didn't deserve to plummet into the bargain bin... at all.

 

[Richardplex]

Would the Spyro series, up to and including Spyro 3, count? and Ratchet and clank, up to and possibly including tools of destruction? It seems fellow escapists know of these, but beyond here I know no-one who knows of them.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Exile 3, Blades of Exile, and to a lesser extent, more or less anything made by Spiderweb since then.

 

[ZeroMachine]

Alan Wake, no question. That game, IMO, deserved awards.

 

[ChaosStep]

Alan Wake, no question. That game, IMO, deserved awards.

And more DLC!

I always really liked the game Primal, but it never really got any respect or sales.

 

[dyre]

Beyond Good & Evil, Planescape Torment

Though, a lot of people have heard of them by now, so I guess it's alright

 

[Worgen]

definitely Brutal Legend, that game was awesome, fuck reviewers for talking me out of buying it at launch

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Gonna have to go with Okami.

Hell, it won a lot of awards, and is praised by reviewers pretty much universally.

Then it went and sold about 5 copies.

A sad state of affairs.

Im with you on this one, I picked it up after yahtzee badmouthed it and it blew me away, especially the art direction. Never before has war looked so beautiful.

But now that theres going to be a 3rd VC game, and Final Fantasy Tactics coming, theres more reason to buy a PSP or Vita.
