Underappreciated games you wish people would play more.

[Chaos James]

Oh man, I keep seeing more and more great games listed.

Tomba (though I'm Canadian) was a great game, I played the Demo a long time ago but could never get the real thing. So, recently, I pirated it (yes I know BAD!) but only because NO WHERE SELLS IT! Seriously, if it popped up on the PSN for the PSP, I'd buy it.

Also, idk how many played it, but Digimon World for the PS1. Great game and really fun, never played any of the sequels, but the first one is still my favorite.

Master of Monsters: Disciples of Gaia for the PS1 is another one I've barely ever seen people talk about, a fun Strategy game I spent many an hour playing in my youth.

A little newer and I think more played, but I simply LOVE Dark Cloud for the PS2. An HD remake sitting on the Xbox 360 (or a non-HD port to the PSP if possible) would quickly get my money.

So yah, a lot I'd love for my PSP.

Disgaea!

Maybe it's me, but I feel like Rock of Ages is already one of these games despite coming out... 2 days ago?

Now I'm curious how many people will comment saying "Oh yah, I heard about that game from Total Biscuit".

Also, did you watch the TB "WTF is... Rock of Ages" or did you just stumble upon it?

 

[LookingGlass]

Valkyria Chronicles. In my opinion the second best game of this console generation and it sold well enough to... force them to make the sequel a PSP game. Ugh.

And how about every game Looking Glass Studios ever made? The fact that that company was not sleeping on piles of money is just ridiculous.

I don't know how many people have, but more people should play all of Frozenbyte's games. They're all great.

Both Folklore and Moon Diver.

Folklore because it's just a very fun game and the visuals are pretty awesome.

Moon Diver, yes, it's a Square Enix game, but it's downloadable, cheap, and a ton of fun. Even though it's a side scrolling beat 'em up, it's fun and you can do some really cool attacks depending on which power up you get.

If you couldn't tell by my avatar, Heavy Rain. Yes, it starts off slow but keep playing and you'll get really immersed.

Oh, and pretty much every indie game out there.

 

[The Madman]

Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic. Game did alright for itself, but you just never hear about it anymore despite it being easily the best damned fantasy based strategy game out there. If you like strategy, are a fan of games like Heroes of Might & Magic then you absolutely must buy this game. GOG has it, go, now, you'll thank me later!

King's Bounty. I mean the new series which has received again decent success, but I just can't help it deserves better. Maybe it's just yet again tugging at my particular weak points: Fantasy, strategy, and a splash of rpg but damn are the recent games good! Legend. Armoured Princess. Crossworlds. Bloody amazing games and some of the most fun I've had in gaming.

Brilliant soundtrack too!

I found out about the game when I saw the "Rock beats everything!" trailer. Thought it looked like fun, downloaded it when it came out. Was very pleased.

 

[faefrost]

Stuff like Okami, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus are all games that deserve more than they got.

And many agree. They are getting a 1080p Hidef re-release as a paired bundle pack on PS3

I think my closet obscure title that I wish was more mainstream would be Katamari Damacy.

 

[AT God]

I bet at least 20% of my posts contain these words but SECOND SIGHT! The best plot twist of all time people, buy it, steam, PS2, BUY IT!

 

[chaosyoshimage]

The World Ends With You, I know it's co-developed by Jupiter but everyone who complains about how Square Enix is terrible now needs to play this game. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

 

[Wayneguard]

The Hitman series is very under-appreciated. Those who are into it are really into it but everyone else pretty much hates it. Tenchu is the same.

Also, I wish more people would play, and thus more developers would develop, turn-based strategy games. Disciples and HOMM are so great but remain unknown to the majority of people.

 

[Gorilla Gunk]

Bulletstorm.

Yeah, yeah, it had a ton of advertising, but it underperformed and a sequel is in doubt.

 

[Hides His Eyes]

I'd like to see some more retrospective love for Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. It was a truly brilliant game. A hell of an RPG with good writing and characters, and fun combat too. Its successor, Bloodlines, seems to have COMPLETELY eclipsed it. Unfairly, I think. I could never see what was so great about Bloodlines.

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

Final Fantasy V. Seriously, guys. Get the SNES translation by RPGe. Get FFV Advance. Get the god-awful Anthology version. I don't care. Just. Fucking. Play it.

Freelancer

Oh, and this. I fucking love this. Also, if you play this, you might want the Discovery mod. The community of that is basically a bunch of roleplayers who, well, roleplay in the traditional sense of the word. Amazing bunch of guys, they are.

Okami; It was an amazing game, yet no one played it... WHY!?
