>>258719851

The game is famous as fuck and well known
Waut what? I always thought Oni was an obscure japanese game. I mean, look at the cover.
The best fighting game.
>>258720164
Just because it has anime on the cover it means it's obscure?
Are you fucking 12?
>>258720102
Not really, maybe it was in whatever part of the world you live but not so much anywhere else
>>258720602
Chill your tits, autist. It is just as obscure as Fantavision. Get a grip.
The shittiest game I've ever played.
>>258718996
I always wanted to buy that game, but one could truly call me poor fag at these old years ... is it on GOG or something?
>>258718996
Some technical/fighter/cuhrayzee bros who can say if oni has interesting mechanics?

>>258718996

Maybe one of the closest thing the PS1 had to a game like Elder Scrolls. You have different weapons with their own skill levels that increase with use, and you take up quests from various NPCs found around the world.
>>258719727
shut up fagger just because people played it doesnt mean it was well known.
oni was great. when you beat the game you got a cheat that let you play as any character in the game even boss's complete with their own movesets. replay value out the ass
There's even a third title coming next year.
>>258722165
Still mad? Gee.
I couldn't believe how much the combat reminded me of Metroid Prime's with the whole lock on and being able to quickly dash around the enemy.

Yeah that fits the bill. Whoever I talked to, if they owned a PS2 early on, they knew Oni.
I'd say the Way of the Samurai games are pretty obscure.

Even though it had a trophy in SSBM no one ever bothered to look where it was from

Now heres a great little fucking racer. Customisation out the ass plus the tracks had lots of change so you had to equip your car with various parts to tackle them: with water you can just power through it or use floatation devices plus a propeller to skim across the top and with high drops you can equip a glider or just fall and belt it along the ground.

A bizarre shooter / platformer based loosely on the arcade game. You go around stages and try to clear out various insects while saving villagers and buildings.
>>258722667
Not only did DMC1 come out before this game, DMC2 came out at least 6 months before it did
>>258723486

It wasn't that obscure back in the day but now no-one seems to remember it

Not being as mainstream as Halo doesn't mean a game is obscure.

>>258719851
Story is weirder than that. Bungie had this in development for quite a while. Heard that the hang-up was that they couldn't get multiplayer hand-to-hand combat working well.
They were working on Halo at around the same time. Microsoft was looking for a launch title for the Xbox and decided to buy Bungie just to get Halo for $40 million, not even pocket lint for Microsoft.
Microsoft didn't care about anything else than Halo and sold the rest of Bungie's IP to Take Two Interactive (aka Rockstar). About a year later, the finally released it, after stripping the multi-player out.
>>258723516
Speaking of console roguelikes, Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is pretty awesome. If you can stomach Azure Dreams' cutesy graphics, Chocobo's Dungeon shouldn't put you off.

Explain. I've never played.
>>258724184
Yeah. Roguelikes have randomly generated dungeons and random item drops. Console roguelikes are technically considered "roguelike-lite" because they aren't as strict. i.e. In a computer roguelike, character death is usually permanent, and you have to restart the entire game.
>>258724521
I'm pretty sure there was nudity in it.
The main character is a prostitute.

Japanese console roguelikes tend to be a more specific type of rogue-inspired genre called "mystery dungeon".
There was a fps I remember playing at my friends house, I think it was called Messiah? I remember the shotgun, once upgraded, shot a huge chunk of rock out the middle.

Muh nigga, I played this game on the demo disc that came with my Playstation.
For a 5€ game that I knew nothing about, this has to be one of my best purchases.

>>258724634

sega didn't forget about it, they killed it. They made two godawful VC games for PSP. VC3 is one of the worst games I've ever played. It's 95% garbage anime, 4% way too easy missions on repeated maps, and 1% good mechanics that are pointless because of how easy it is.

>>258725132
I enjoyed Nightmare of Druaga for PS2, but I think critics universally panned it for being so unforgiving. For instance, if you turn off the game without saving, the moment you reload your file, a goddess appears and starts to lecture you about when and where you're supposed to save, and how straying from this process is basically an insult to the gods or some shit. Do it enough times and I think she starts to strip you of all your items.
Some other games off the top of my head are the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series on GBA and DS, Shiren the Wanderer and Torneko, which is based on Dragon Quest.

>>258725132
Most mystery dungeon games are a lot more bland than Azure Dreams.
As for computer roguelikes, the only ones I would really recommend are the original Rogue, maybe Brogue, and I don't know what Desktop Dungeons is like these days, but it was fun back when I played it when it was just a free indie game.
It's hard to find roguelikes that are fast enough and don't go overboard with the complexity or time investment. Nethack is just stupid with how heavily based it is on secret crap you're expected to look up on the wiki and a lot of other Roguelikes are just trying way too hard to be super complex "epic" D&D simulations.

Fantastic title, really polished and accessible to all ages. Consider it a "my first RPG".
Picked it up for a couple of quid because I liked the look of the cover, very enjoyable.
>>258726018
I vaguely remember this and have it lying around somewhere, I distinctly remember every review giving it a bad score but I cant for the life of me remember the game itself.
>>258725980
Me and my friend burned a disk of that on Dreamcast and played that game so much.
I can still pick it up and do a perfect run of the first 2 levels. 3 is more difficult, then never got to put enough time into 4 and 5.
Man oh man, love it though.
Used to play with the Dreamcast arcade stick, made it even better.
>>258725547
I have the game's case right in front of me.
Holy shit, this game was so fucking fun with at least one other person to play with.

From what I saw it looked like, yeah, most of them were pretty generic looking. Seems like a lot of them did/do that forced first-person thing too.
Are there ANY decent games that use D&D engines? I haven't played one I like since Baldur's Gate...

Well guess it depends on who you ask.

Not obscure if you owned a Dreamcast.

It's a sequel. You play as Gil from the series, and you're tasked with stopping a sorceress from taking over the realm, or something of that nature.
The dungeons aren't actually random in this game, though. It's mostly just the item drops and enemies.

>>258726897
>Are there ANY decent games that use D&D engines?
Not as far as roguelikes go, from what I've seen. Most (all?) roguelikes are heavily based on exploring and combat. P&P game systems are generally designed for a more complex human-moderated game experience than that, so the roguelikes that try to go really complex with the P&P style system just end up being way too pointlessly complicated for their own good, feel really slow, and just get kind of boring.
Some roguelikes only take the bare minimum needed for combat from P&P systems and that tends to work out well enough, but then they can hardly be said to be using a D&D system at that point.

I'm stuck with the regular controller.
Good luck finding four of those sticks, by the way.

Way ahead of its time.

I tried playing this years ago and failed horribly.
Is it worth going back to?

Those load times, and the lack of fast travel. It takes literally 30 minutes to get from point A to point B at times, and good luck finding some obscure dungeon that you're supposed to go to to complete a quest, because from an aerial point of view, all you can see is blurry land masses.

I dug my old Xbox out a week ago and found the box for this, but with no disk in sight. I'd forgotten I even had it. At least I've still got Metal Arms, but damnit I want to play this game again.

Yeah I had the same experience, but I stuck with it and it gets pretty good.

It's a typical onrails shooter. I enjoyed it a lot though. The death animations for the robots are extremely satisfying. It's a little hard to do solo but if you got a buddy to play it with it's a blast. Also, I wish more anime was done in this style. Everything feels too clean and cut/paste.

I was comparing gameplay. When they're both average aesthetics decide the victor.

Ah, I see... didn't notice it says "The Ancient's Gates" on the cover.

omg thank you so much anon. I always wanted to finish playing this game. I never got to cause I only played the demo on a Jam pack on the PSX.

Playing it off the hard drive reduces the load times. If you talk to people they put the location of the dungeons on the map.

I remember you had to charge up your little pon ball and throw it. My friend bought it for me after he found out I enjoyed the sims. He said the store employee told him it was similar.
