I Can't Believe It's Not Mainstream

KOTOR 2, seriously it irritates me on the inside how whenever KOTOR is brought up the person almost always refers to the first one, like if the second one doesn't exist. WELL IT DOES! And it is better than the first KOTOR in every god damn way!

Well it could've been if they'd actually finished it.

OT: Daedalian Opus. A fun little puzzle game for the original Gameboy.

Not really sure if this counts but; Jade Empire.Whenever anyone mentions Bioware games, they always go for KotOR, ME, or Bladurs Gate, I hardly ever hear of anyone talk about this one.

XD Kudos to AC10 for posting One Must Fall 2097. It's sequel, Battlegrounds, ALSO deserves love. It got a rocky launch and indeed lacks the content of the original, but once patched it becomes a truly unique fighting experience unlike any other. A BACK VIEW fighter that plays just like a 2D fighter turned on it's side, no semi-auto combos or anything, you gotta do that shit one punch at a time and chain in specials and everything! Combine that with the unlimited number of players and it was great! Sadly it tanked super hard despite birthing it's own sub-genre of fighter. Still it was so good it ruined God Hand for me.

Also kudos on TimeSplitters. It's the only FPS I actually play and with the company dead? Well...FPSes are dead to me now I mean seriously, NO ONE gets it right. Everyone goes "Oh it's all about the multiplayer" but they NEVER have the wealth of options that TimeSplitters had!

Also recent and worth mentioning: Ninja Blade, the spiritual sequel to Metal Wolf Chaos. Admittedly it has ALOT of QTEs in it (it's like...50% Dragon's Lair), but the game it's self is GOOD. Like...it's everything I wanted Ninja Gaiden to be and has far more actual STAGE DESIGN than most action games these days. Sadly I seem to be the only person that LIKED it! XD Ah well, at least From Software is making back that money with Demon's Souls.

The Real-Time Strategy/First-Person Shooter Hybrid genre.

So, Savage: Battle for Newerth. Game was WAY ahead of its time. Watching people try to play MAG only proves to me that it's STILL too early.

I nominate Shantae (Love ya, Jake!), Gunstar Heroes (and all Treasure games, actually), and Kid Icarus (Even after Smash, people still don't really know of it, it seems)

EDIT: The BioWare talk reminded me of Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

just because i feel like saying a TV show, Supernatural.

Supernatural is mainstream though...It's one of The CW's most popular shows.
