Steambot Chronicles, a quirky little mecha RPG for the PS2, it was a hell of a lot of fun but apparently I'm the only one whose ever heard of it.

I agree with the guy who said Final Fantasy VIII, it was the best in my opinion, but compared to the others noone remembers it, which is a shame because the characters were complex and had intertwining sotries which all got explained, which is a missing thing in many recent games.
But is also like to put the Dynasty Warriors series on the table, as they were a good bit of fun but i hardly know of anyone else who has played them around where i am.
And the old Monster Rancher games, they were cool just because you could use a CD and get a monster from it.

Yep, those two. Along with anything Tim Schafer made, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Jade Empire, Gitaroo Man, Elite Beat Agents, and Mario Tennis (the first one for the 64).FarSky post=9.70171.692883 said:

As a Slavophile, a communist and a GTA fan I found gta4 amazingly good, not second comming good mind you, but amazingly good none the less.
However there is one game that has been brutally ignored as soon as Halo came out, the Myth series! What happened to the good olde dwarves wielding molotav cocktails?
I have to agree with all those that have mentioned Brave Fencer Musashi and Tomba as well, great games indeed. Also, I believe that Wild 9 for the PS1 is worth a mention, a very unique platformer in it's own right.
Dungeon Siege for the PC needs mention as well, I'm not sure just how ignored it is... but a really great RPG that very few people I know have heard of. There was even a rather long demo of the game availible off it's website, think its still there too, definately a game to be checked out. It's sequel Dungeon Siege 2 was good as well... but completely changed the combat system to the point where it became more or less a different game entirely. Which isn't bad... just... different; because it wasnt quite the game I initially fell in love with, but still good nonetheless.
There are probably more that I can think of in time... but these few came to me initially after seeing the thread after watching the newest ZP video.

It runs fine on mine... granted, my comp isn't exactly a "newer" system. It won't run on multi-core systems, I know that. So if you have a multi-core system, I suggest building a cheap retro comp before the older parts are gone for good. Definitely worth it for the older Looking Glass Studios games...Katana314 post=9.70171.693045 said:
Aside from that, can we all agree that after a game gets mentioned over four times on here that it wasn't actually ignored?
My own addition: Blood Will Tell. Not the best game and certainly grind-tastic... but the storyline is one of the best I've played in ages and you can actually notice the changes in your character as you "level" (you're actually regaining your body parts).
Try to find that one!
Other, more obvious choices perhaps: Metal Gear Acid (and MGA2), Koudelka (someone mentioned the Shadow Hearts series... this is related to it), R-Type Command, Fatal Frame (how many of you have actually played it?), Rollcage (and Rollcage 2), Oni, and the Sly Cooper series.
Top that list.
