Games you love but no one seems to talk about

[sinsfire]

Ratchet and Clank series

Maybe I haven't seen it because its been a while since the series has had a real release (All 4 One doesn't count) but I love these games.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Bulletstorm. It's a bloody gem!

It's actually got a deep character intense plot that you wouldn't notice if you let the fact that they swear a lot blind you to it. Seriously Grayson's character is awesome and his relationship with Ishi is really good and is at times, a good exercise in his flaws as a character.

Yes the combat is really fun and you can kick things and shoot things and the shotgun is offically the best shotgun ever created. But it's a character piece primarily. A good one at that.

Also League of Legends. There have more people talking about it at least a bit on this site lately but hey it could always be better.

So they're nerfing Diana... Not sure if it's actually warranted or not because i'm one of those crazy people who didn't have an issue with her. However it'll keep the rabid "omg I died OP" people in line for an extra second. Then they'll die to Rengar once and shift the OP blame train onto him.


Now if you'll excuse me I need to try to get over the fact that Katarina's Death Lotus is no longer a destroyer of worlds... It only destoys half a world now ;_;

Yes she's better now but people should die in the thousands when I press that bloody R key! Not all get to 100 hp! I'm out of cooldowns and I just get focused down before my next W because Kat is damn squishy!

The timesplitters trilogy. Am I the only one who remembers......?

Never forget.

hmm. well, between my friends anyway the Darksiders series is an IP that I am the only one to have experienced thus far and its one that has earned my dollars and my support, I love it.

The Homeworld series. Seriously, If you haven't played it, you are a terrible person.

 

[Auninteligentname]

The lack of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on these forums is disturbing...

 

[excalipoor]

Oh! Oh! I've got another one: Minesweeper. Because Solitaire blows.

The timesplitters trilogy. Am I the only one who remembers......?

If you are a true fan, then my avatar should be familiar to you.

I really do wish that they would make Time Splitters 4 already. They released some teaser trailers, and GI even did an article on it like a year or two ago.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

For recent games I've not seen many people talking about Sleeping Dogs to be honest. I loved that game.

"Dang... Shoulda brought... More priests... Maybe some... Babies..."

Gotta love PoR. I nominbate Terranigma, a SNES action RPG with fun gameplay and a brilliant end.

Kingdom Hearts.
I'm talking about 1 and 2, to my knowledge all of the others are terrible except possibly Birth by Sleep.

Funny, I hear of people talking about Kingdom Hearts all the time, and they're typically bitching cause Sora's the main character instead of Cloud or some bullshit like that. Insofar as the games themselves go, I liked 1 and 2, and the remake of Chain of Memories was a lot better than the GBA version if for no other reason than proper voiced cutscenes and making KH2's plot make sense. Although I hated the shoehorned-in backstory with Xehonort and the Keyblade Wars which really came in kinda outta nowhere near the end of the game.

I'll probably never touch BbS or 365/2 Days cause I just want them to move the plot forwards instead of backtracking for the last 6 years. It's sad, cause Kingdom Hearts had a lot of potential in my eyes, but Nomura keeps muddying it up with FF and needless drama-filled backstories. Now it feels like the series just survives by adding old Square characters, cause I've had quite a few people tell me that's the only reason they got DDD.

Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are good games, the gameplay is fun (a bit too easy though, but KH2 was clearly marketed at the people who had watched Disney films and the difficulty reflected that) I do think that the plot is not so good, it has some really badly written dialogue in places and from what I remember, the enemy design and graphics in the first one didn't age well.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

Anyone? No?

Bah.

 

[Burrito With Legs]

Sleeping Dogs. I'm not all that interested in it, but I'm just surprised that it's not getting a lot of coverage.

 

[scorptatious]

I'm honestly surprised not very many people on here are talking about The Last Story. Considering how many Final Fantasy/Square-Enix threads there are on here.

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, the best PS1 platformer that nobody played.

Great game.

I played that game as a kid, and I've downloaded it off the PSN. My only real issue with it is that it was kinda short. One or two more visions would have made the game perfect.

 

[vrbtny]

The Sabateur as it is the most stylish game ever.
add a flamethrower tank in the later stages and the abulity to steal uniforms and bash a nazi genrals brains out from behind him with a tommy gun and you have perfection. I think the exec who shut down pandemic deserves to be put out on the street.

You're selling the game short! The best part of that game was grabbing a stg44 by the barrel and swinging it at a Nazi's head like a baseball bat, and that was only the stealth option!

 

[CarlMin]

Battlefield 3

Nah, just joking.

I'd say Grand Control 2. The RTS that just seem to have slipped under the radar but it is (in my opinion) better than Age of Empires and World in Conflict together. Can't say about the Command and Conquer series though.

 

[Dirty Apple]

Moonbase Commander. What a fantastic forgotten treasure.

 

[Araksardet]

Jazz Jackrabbit. Not that I think it's a design masterpiece, but as one of the first video games I avidly played, it has huge nostalgia value for me, and I don't think the game was bad by any stretch of the imagination. Yet I almost never hear talk about it.
