The most underrated video game ever

The Valkyria Chronicles series as a whole (I feel that, pros and cons weighed up, all three are on about equal footing [Well, assuming 3 actually does do story well, I suppose I can't speak for a plot I've never consumed]) receives only part of the adoration I feel it deserves.
Advent Rising. An amazing game with an amazing story, but it got flatlined by reviewers, and now, nobody knows what would have happened next. It was planned as a trilogy, after all... written by Orson Scott-Card himself. Man, what happened to that game has always made me sad.
Past that, Metro 2033 was godly, and Sins of a Solar Empire was an epic RTS that nobody played.
Oh, one more thing.
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINECRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT

Definitely Men of War and all the sequels. They got such shitty reviews of Metacritic, yet they're one of the best RTS games I've played. Then again, almost all of the user reviews are by people that mass Stuarts in CoH...
I have a couple of friends who play it all the time. Is it hard to get used to? I've been considering buying it for some time.

I read the article and I can appreciate what the game was doing, probably more so if I played the game, but when you throw in the shitty parts to make a statment then you still have shitty parts no matter how good the commentary is. Other games have had shitty bits of gameplay or dialogue or whatever for no reason then to be ironic, and IMO if you add shitty bits to make an ironic statements you missed the point of making a good game.thenamelessloser said:

You know I've at least HEARD of most of the games on this thread. My choice for most underrated game is Ranger X on the Sega Genesis, most people in my experience so far haven't even heard of the damn thing, but it's such a good game.
I second that notion Body Harvest was the sandbox before there were sandboxes. Throughout time you could operate any vehicle from a Bi-Plane in 1916 Greece, a tank in 1941 Java, a harrier and a UFO in 1966 America, and lest we forget a SCUD Missile launcher in 1991 Siberia.clutch-monkey said:
Plus it had giant bugs.
Did I mention a SCUD missile launcher!!!! with a frickin tactical nuclear warhead ready to go?
Body Harvest is easily in my top 5 games of all time, and when I try to talk about it with people they have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about.
On a second note...
I really have to disagree with you there. Alpha Protocol was one of my biggest disappointments in 2010. The first time I heard about that game I was giddy. I love spy fiction and I love action RPGs. Alpha Protocol was hyped up to be the epitome of spy games and after a very long delay announcement days before was originally supposed to come out and an eight month or so wait I finally got it and it was not what I was hoping for. The game play mechanics were very dumbed down and it was not aesthetically pleasing at all. Don't get me wrong I still beat it three times... admittedly the third was simply achievement hunting, but it just didn't live up to what it was hyped up to be.thenamelessloser said:

Psychonauts all the way its such a fantastic game, its just got that style of humour made famous by the Lucasarts adventure games.
Shadow of The Colossus - people have heard of it , but few have experienced it. This game is kinda like sex in my hometown.
Close Combat V. It is a wargame for wargamers, so the demographics are narrow, but the gameplay of PvP is absolutely amazing. It lives on for a fanatical few, and it hasn't been beaten for pure quality of GAMEPLAY by any other game. It's saving private Ryan X1000. Most people have never heard of it. As for single player campaign, the AI is no good and its way TOO easy, so its not that great, its PVP where it REALLY shines. I can't think of another game where you can be that scared of moving some men across a field. And a full campaign, online, that is wargamers heaven.
I don't really think Minecraft falls into the underrated category... it is widely played and respected as one of the top indie games on the market.Custard_Angel said:

My bad this is the first forum I have ever started to get actively involved in. I misinterpreted your post.
Dwarf Fortress.
Yeah.
People complain about the "Learning Overhang" Of getting into the game, but it reaaaaly is worth it. Easily the best game ive played in years, possibly ever.
