Unsung games...THAT WE SWEAR BY!

[wrecker77]

ide say psychonauts but if you dont know what it isat this point, i feel bad for your soul.

steambot chronicales. noone has ever played it but me aparently. its basicly a mech game, where you are in a traveling band, and you end up fighting in a war.

Planescape Torment probably the best dialogue and story I have ever seen in a CRPG absolute shame its impossible to get a hold of anymore >_>

Does Torment count as unsung? It's probably the single best CRPG ever released, and the critics realized that, just, nobody actually bought it.

Anyway, Fallout Tactics, it kinda pales in comparison to the rest of the series, but its still a very good turn based strategy game.

Shadow Warrior. Wildly fun and silly FPS, based off of Duke Nukem 3D. Barely anyone has heard of it, though. It's great.

Just downloaded it again about a month ago. I've always fucking loved it, and I too think it's weird that not that many people seem to have heard of it.
"Who want-a some Wang?"
"Lo Wang drop soap. You bend over, pick it up, hahaha!"

And I think "Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines" is highly underrated. Just download all of the unofficial patches and you're good to go. Great RPG set in a very different atmosphere. It's unlike anything you've played whether you like it, love it or hate it.

whenever i play halo online i swear yell and scream because there are things fisically imposible that happen in that game...

but dont worry i dont use a mic unless i am playing team based games (CTF etc) i never say anything unless it is important

I still think Geist was a really fun game to play with some friends. The single player may have been.....sub-par, but I really enjoyed the multiplayer. But I'm the only person I know that actually owns a copy of the game.

I did only played it single player and I felt RIPPED OFF a ghost that can't go through walls need a stupid hole in the wall...

God, how did I forget about Bloodlines? And for that matter Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magical Obscura? They're all by Tim Cain, the guy who designed the original Fallout, and they're both really awesome and unsung games.

We must never forget!

Not sure it was completely unsung, but Godhand. Where else can you beat the living snot out of 5 midgets dressed up like power rangers? Watch, it's hillarious-

Indeed! I really miss that company.

The Legend of Dragoon. My first RPG and only JRPG i played in my life.

I don't think you're entirely alone on that title. It sold enough copies to be a Greatest Hits. I don't exactly know how much that is though. Could be a million, could be ten thousand... I don't know. But enough to where a large amount of people gave two shits about it.

Great game.

 

[ShadowKatt]

Guardian Legend back on the NES. Just plain awesome, and almost no one's every heard of it.

I think the first Soul Reaver was the only one that had "commercial success" everyone kind of lost interest it seemed after that. It a shame to, Amy Hennig knew how to weave a fucking story... as far as LoK goes anyways.

"DEFCON"

Fun. As. Hell.

 

[hailmagus]

Chrono Trigger/Cross. There aren't many Jrpg's that are terribly interesting, but these two nail it. Interesting characters, fantastic music, complex and emotionally deep stories, and far and wide considered two of the best of all time, but nobody seems to have played them aside from the hardcore old schoolers.

Chrono Trigger is arguably considered one of the best RPGs of all time by people all over the world. No dice man, you're disqualified.

 

[hailmagus]

Zone of the Enders. I've never really heard anyone talk about it. I loved it.

They're kind of a big deal among the MGS fans, basically because Hideo Kojima was "associated" with it.

 

[dommyuk]

I'm another person who thinks Shadow Hearts was so underrated when in it can easily stand up against any FF game, and also Outcast, a 3rd person shooter from the 90's which most PCs can no longer play properly

OOOOOOO... you wash wang, or you watch wang wash wang??? Greatest secret level EVER. And the voice acting and one liners in that game beat the piss out of duke nukem.

I'll also take this opportunity to voice my highly unpopular opinion about Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects as one of the most simply fun multiplayer games available for the original XBox. If you don't mind playing the crappy first person mode to unlock the cooler characters, you get to play the awesome vs mode where you can make magneto shove venom's head up his own ass... figuratively.

Shining force - an RPG with a sort of final fantasy tactics battle system. It's an old sega game, but i found it awesome.
