King's Bounty.
I have near 200 hours in the series and I'm only on the second game.
It has its flaws though.
>>334740794
Absolutely this
>>334740454
fuck yeah op, castle in the darkness was the shit.
>>334741205
I also love these Games but they are definitely flawed, very niche, and have very weak production values so I don't feel like most people would care for them really
Dead Space 1/2.
Great games barely ever brought up though.
I thought they'd be pretty shit because they were EA games on console but EA hadn't ass fucked the devs at that point.
>>334740794
Gotta go with this.
ZombiU
Yes, it has its flaws, but I got it dirt cheap and after trawling through its slow start I ended up quite liking it once it picked up, it has a certain charm to it that I haven't really seen in other fps/survival-horror games, and I would've loved a sequel or similar game that used the gamepad the ways it did.
>>334741781
Can you imagine if the game sold like 2 million in its first two months, how different things might look today? Or if Mass Effect 3 sold a million on WiiU? What might have been.
>>334741989
Didn't play the Wii U port of ME3, guessing it did some neat shit with the gamepad?
It's a real shame ZombiU suffered from boring cricket-bat controls, and pace-ruining loading (e.g. you were encouraged to store excess gear back at the safehouse, but since you'd have to sit through at least 2 loading screens to do so it felt pointless), as I liked the whole idea of the backpack storage and how they treated it, as well as the gamepad acting as a survival unit/hacking device.

>Fake-bit chiptune faux retro style indie trash.
They literally just went into photoshop and turned the brightness on some of the brick tiles down to make them darker.
>Hurr durr it's a style.
That only applies to good art, here it's a crutch.
>>334740454
Need for Speed ProStreet.
Yeah, it isn't the best NFS game, yet it really felt like the last NFS game with actual charm put into it. Plus Speed Challenges were legitimately hype as fuck.
>>334743405
I haven't played OP's games but did it by chance occur to you that it may simply be fun to play?
Being uppity about graphics only harms the industry
Unreal Tournament 4

>>334743405
The team probably didn't have skills or resources to make it any other way.
That shouldn't prevent a fun game from being made
>>334743830
>Most racing games.
Why does it feel like racing sims have stagnated lately?
I can't think of a good non-karting racing sim in the last 5 years, even counting arcade-y ones. Maybe I'm not looking well enough?

>>334743709
No standards in design and putting the least effort into trying to make the most money is what killed the industry anon. Put it short, the industry killed the industry.
And I'm not saying, "It's about the graphics" because it's 8-bit anon, it's they used ****RETRO**** limitations as an excuse for being bad/lazy artists.
Literally NOBODY ever talks about Nimbus, but it's a really nice game, with lots of content. It even has a section with rejected levels that were broken or too difficult.
>>334742409
No idea, I didn't buy it. Mass Effect 1 was kind of disappointing to me so I never bothered with the sequels.
Just the idea that if EA and Ubisoft found solid success on the console things for Nintendo might be a little different today.
>>334744365
>it's they used ****RETRO**** limitations as an excuse for being bad/lazy artists.
Yes, they did. But, like I said, the game may still be good regardless of its graphics. Good graphics are not mandatory for a game to be good, they are in fact almost always a superfluous detail.

>And I'm not saying, "It's about the graphics" because it's 8-bit anon, it's they used ****RETRO**** limitations as an excuse for being bad/lazy artists.
It's not like the game(as in the experience it provides, its story, its mechanics, its level design, etc) would have been better or more fun if the graphics were made in a different, more detailed, pixel art style?
No.
So as long as the game looks nice in the chosen style, it doesnt matter what's the reson behind said choice.
If i can make pixel art graphics, but not experienced in it enough to go beyond some skill levels, yet i'm still able to make it look good with what i can do, that shouldn't prevent me from making a game just because it would look better if i was more skilled in the graphics compartment.
Also, let's not forget this dude is the same who made the graphics for Binding Of Isaac, so yes, this art syle is indeed a choice, not necessarily imposed by his supposed lack of skills.
>>334740454
1001 spikes
that game is fucking amazing, i couldn't stop talking about it the day i discovered about it, it's one of those "kill the player a lot platformer" but it mostly work by trying to make player fall into hidden traps, and because of that it made the game super tense, not only that it's amazing when you think, "mmm... if i was the guy who designed this level i would do this to fuck over the player" like if there is a safe spot, it's not a safe spot, it's never a safe spot
also the music is fucking amazing, like something one made for a music competition about using the gameboy color chiptunes

>>334745503
10001 spikes starts out really fun, but towards the end of the game it starts relying on some really cheap tricks to waste the player's time. it also starts hitting heavy with really short. ultra-hard levels, when the design would have benefited from having longer levels with tiered checkpoints
still a good game though, it blows shitty 'hard' platformers like super meat boy totally outta the water

I've been thinking of getting that since I found Dig, really want to support these devs. Are there any other games on 3DS with similar gameplay/feel to Dig though?

Incredibly bad performance despite the NES graphics exacerbate its poor pacing. I love difficulty but this one's mostly suckerpunches followed by really long backtracking from checkpoints.

Ys
Way better git gud series than Dark Souls imo
>>334748184
100% positive. I can turn on fun mode as easy as booting up Doom, Devil May Cry 3, Warioland 4, Nuclear Throne, etc.
Even if all of these games are flawed, they are still pretty polished and had effort put into them. They weren't soulless and had charm, as well as good game design.
It's just sad when people who don't even know how to code (Nuke Throne) can make an incredibly fun videogame by using sound, art, and game direction. It's not that modern developers can't do this, it's that they don't, because it's easy and you'll buy it anyway.
Is it too much to ask for better games? No, it isn't, because this is the future.
>>334745996
I fucking love mechassault. Great way to bring the Mechwarrior games to console.
The fucking atmosphere and music in ma1 is amazing.

>>334747873
no i'm going to bed
i never had any problem with the performance and it has the added bonus of having no slowdown and flicker, so if anything it's a lot more performant than the NES games
i found the difficulty to be pretty even throughout. i don't remember any particular areas that were harder than others, although i did play a post-patch version which apparently had some tweaks. some of the levels i found to be much harder than others, though
compared to regular megaman, MMU has marathon-length levels, it's part of the game's design, and i guess it's an issue of personal taste, but i prefer long, moderately hard levels to shorter, harder levels. i never felt like the game deliberately killed me in order to send me back to a checkpoint from 10 minutes ago in the way that, say, 10001 spikes did
and i thought the ending sequence was great

Warband is great but you have to join a faction immediately, and it's really tough to get fair battles at the beginning since most enemies have much larger armies, and you move so slowly. Pro Tip: Get Gud at archery, it's great for fucking faster enemies in combat.
>ORIGINAL M&B
is what I started with, but I have never went back. It's a lot easier to get into since there are fair battles right away, and looting towns gives you much more money. Also, throwing axes have a larger stack size, so they were actually fun to use, rather than being a useless item like in Warband.

You don't charge the horse directly at the target. You have to have them on the side, and you swing at that side as you go past.

There was a steam group that lasted a good while.
An Untitled Story.
I don't even remember when or where I downloaded it, and didn't even play it until one day where my internet went down.
Was pleasently surprised to find a really good Metroidvania to play.

I played all 4 of them. The first 3 are pretty good, Trilby's notes being the best.
Pretty funny parody. Its gameplay is solid, just as good as MG2, or ghost babel.

You can't use Arbalests or Zweihanders from horseback, that's all the reason I needed to turn by back on half the title and make a army of Brodok footsoldiers.

I fucking love the fuck out of Gigantic, although it's not surprising it's not talked about due to W10/Xbone exclusivity. It turns out the easiest way to make a """moba""" fun is to get rid of the overhead perspective with tiny characters, remove the click-to-move nonsense, and turn it into a third person shooter with some great character design and a good overall aesthetic.
They're fucking giving everybody who wants a key one on the ribbit if you want to try an ASSFAGGOTS that's less ASSFAGGOTS and more TPS.

Where are all the freeware games? Do people still make them anymore? I know people still do fan games all the time but I haven't seen a good non-porn freeware game in a while.
Gangbeasts really surprised me with how fun it is with friends. It's a physics based brawler where you control more general motions than actual attacks. Shame it's only local for now, or else I'd be playing it a lot more.
Shadows of the Damned. Its better than any of the Resident Evil games after Nemesis.

Came in here to post this. I also like a lot of Circle's other eShop stuff like Witch & Hero and Fairune.
>>334755667
It's kinda like a weeaboo diablo clone where you play as some black blob with a hat and do shit for a witch who wants to take over the world. The combat isn't spectacular and games like path of exile are probably better but the characters are likeable and apparently there's a shit ton to do.

I was pretty disappointed with it honestly, some of the writing was good but the gameplay itself was rather lacking, and the mood system was really clunky. I think I would have preferred it if the gameplay had less to do with skills and more to do with your choices.
Teleglitch was my favourite game of 2014 (that I played) after Dark Souls II and Smash were massive disappointments to me.
Gameplay is fucking stellar and the Gaphics go beyond the standard pixel trash. I couldn't finish it before my Pc died but I put a good 14 hours in and brought the DLC. This game was even given away for free in the Humble Bundle and nobody fucking got it - people brought Nuclear Throne instead which imo is a far worse game.
I've seen some fine webms posted here but I dont have any.
>>334752383
true heroes never fade away
>>334754983
I had fun turning every battle into a siege using command groups. Had 3 groups of infantry to form a staggered shield wall, 2 wings of archers behind them on a nearby hill if any were available, then a group for companions, who wore the best armor and weapons money could buy and were set to follow me for when I needed to play hero.
If they just charge like AI units do then every infantry based army will lose to a cavalry based army just because they lack mobility.
>>334752069

>>334756359
It seems to be fine so far. Haven't had any game crashes and my PS4 didn't melt yet. The loading screens are a tad long for a remaster though, like 10-15 seconds which makes exploring the tower a hassle since you fight enemies for about as long as you load each area.

Evoland 2.
I literally never saw anyone talking about it. It has pretty good soundtrack (The Ghost Fores and The Guardian are my favorite), variative gameplay and interesting story with many twists. Yeah, it has a lot of flaws, like unbalanced difficulty (earlier levels might be harder), cheesy dialogues and various bugs (gamebreaking ones were fixed quickly though).
I don't understand why the game is so unknown. Is it because it's called Evoland even though it's not even sequel?
>>334758315
I have it, played it for like an hour and a half and got bored, might go back to it someday.
>>334758315
I liked it until the restaurant sim part, and then I realized it wasn't just RPG genres but all genres of games, and then I lost all interest
I'm not playing a mobile app game, even if other parts of it are good. They should have kept it to action RPG styles
Who would have thought that Timed Underwater Platformer: The Game would be this good. I'm also going to buy it's sequel, Timed Underwater Platformer 2: The Metroid now that it's out in English

Okay, but the OP already said they like it. They are outright stating that they have played it, and think it's a good game. You can decide you don't want to take the chance and try the game, but in this context, it's your word against OP's. And considering you admittedly haven't even played the game, whose opinion do you think I care about? Sure as fuck not yours.
Yes, broadly speaking, judging a book by its cover is a useful, convenient thing to do sometimes. But outright shitting on something as though it's a fact that you know to be true based on complete assumption makes you a retard. Especially considering that your assumption goes completely against real trends - lazy pixelshit games tend to actually have good gameplay. At least in my experience, I dunno, maybe I just happen to pick the right ones.
>>334758924
Nothing is actually timed or underwater in Star Tropics. Though I agree that we don't discuss it enough.
It's a really solid game with fun writing.
Theobjectively the bestyuri route is just an added bonus.

A lot of Fenoxo's games are good. Sufferer and it's sequel are good in a Legend of Zelda kind of way. Sufferer The Final Escape is a fairly good stealth platformer that Timed Underwater Platformer 2: The Metroid's engine is directly based on
Sacrifice Girl is just wandering around a large undersea cavern trying to get out of it while not getting eaten by giant snakes, but for whatever reason I love it.
