Fuck that, what are some REAL gems that literally nobody knows about?
Nobody knows about them I guess
Lots of Wii games stick out to me in particular. Sin and Punishment 2, pic related, Pandora's Tower, and maybe The Last Story are all stand out titles to me.

From the Depths
ExaminaCan anyone suggest a game to me? I've totally lost hope in FPS gaming and I've been playing FPS games as far back as the first DOOM. I want an MMO but all MMOs I've played were imperfect, Archeage had a shitty labor system, Tera had no story and shit team fights, Rift was dead and boring but had nice class systems.
>>344571576
one of the best licensed vg-titles of all time,

pro tip: you can't
This series and it's spiritual successor, Shinobudo, really needs more love.
>>344575270
>say one licensed title that was better,
mickey mouse castle of illusion

This game is actually beautiful in terms of art design. Most I've wanted to explore levels in a long time.
Alien Soldier. A run and gun bossfights-r-us game made by Treasure. Includes favourite returning bosses from Gunstar Heroes and is balls hard as well. And even with it on the Virtual Console, nobody I know has even heard of it.

MEIN FUCKING NIGGER
I loved Lost Kingdoms 2, it's a shame I can never find a ROM for it that works. They're usually glitchy and have the music cut out.
Too bad fucking Fromsoft is busy shitting out garbage like DS3 instead of making Lost Kingdoms 3.
>>344577001
I thought the first one was better, desu.
>>344577178
>too bad they're busy making tens of millions of dollars instead of remaking niche crap
>>344577064
Everyone knows Ace Combat.
Heatseeker was pretty cool. Surprisingly good use of motion controls. Also you can fly an SR-71 armed with guns and a nuke, and it can take off from an aircraft carrier, so that's...something.
Powder Game tbqh
Its the perfect time waster
>>344577360
Yes, fuck them. DS3 showed how terrible Fromsoft is at learning how to balance from their previous games mistakes.
Best car combat game of all time.
Not that obscure but I still think it deserves a fuck ton more attention than it gets.
>>344571576
Alright, the graphics looked only just better than N64, but the gameplay was unique, solid and I glitches are minimal. The story was also kinda awesome. It's a shame so few people played it.
>>344576315
Is that sword even a gladius?

>>344577542
I fucking loved this game. The multiplayer was neat too, the whole idea of possessing characters that are already on the map.
>>344571576
Simply the best Babylon 5 game that nobody played.
>>344571576
Its criminal how few people played Underhell
>>344577375

>>344571576
Kessen 3
>>344574490
Agree. I still have a copy for dreamcast and play it every great while. Love that game.
>>344577542
The gunplay was awful. Really really bad. The Ghost gimmick was really good however so it sorta balances it at.
>>344573262
Only wii game I preordered
Fuck off, I haven't preordered a game since.
Never seen it discussed on /v/ - or anywhere for that matter
>>344577414

I loved that it didn't take you to a battlefield like the first one
but i haven't finished yet so who knows if it can match the aesthetic of the first
>mfw mind flayers in the sewers
>>344577178
also the whole dead kingdom of the first one is a lot like dark souls
that just occurred to me
from literally never changes
just keep making the same post apocalyptic half story with different mechanics
>>344577801
the dark souls of weebshit
I know it is incredibly popular in BR land and other South American countries but god damn I cant find a single person from Europe or NA who played this. It is still my favorite of all time.
I guess it really isnt a hidden gem I suppose, but it sure feels like it to me at this point.
>>344571576
Can we just agree that this is the greatest RPG that nobody has ever played?
>>344577832

>>344577605
I seriously can't believe that the game where you play as the president of the United States piloting a mech wasn't released in the US. Weren't there rumors recently of it getting a western release?
You didn't buy it and she still came back
Thanks for nothing, neckbeards
>>344571576
for the frog the bell tolls
fucking wish it was released to the western world when i was a kid, it's so great.
>>344578049
>One of the few cases an Americanized port was the harder than its Japanese counterpart.
American ports have been harder than Japanese versions since the beginning of time. The vast majority of games are harder in America. Japan doesn't like challenge and difficulty.
Please base things you say on knowledge of reality, not knowledge of final fantasy 4 generalized to all other games

>>344571576
Nigga those are games WE know because we're fucking nerds who love those games. These games ARE overlooked. Ask a co-worker next time if he knows what god hand is. then ask him if he played skyrim.
Also generally underrated games:
>recettear
>killing floor 1
>lots of older star wars games (have a huge fan following but are not very main stream)
>basically every good game before 2005. (same as above. Nerds know them, love them. But vidya was not such a mainstream thing so lots of people missed good a lot of good shit)
Fuck you could even list Deus Ex and VtM:Bloodlines here. 2 games that are "must play" for any RPG fan, but due to their age I doubt that very many people actually played them
>Fallout NV is somehow not nearly as popular as 3 and 4 despite being better than both of them combined.
>Hacknet
>Metro
>Legacy of kain series.
>frozen synapse
>Ziggurat
>Metal Gear: Rising
All great games. most of them have a lot of fans or are even well known in the "gayming community" but rarely played by anyone who hasn't 100+ games on their steam account.
>>344577881
Only DQ I care about
>>344578204
If we are doing fantranslated game check live-a-live and marvelous treasure island
Oh and metal max too, that game is fucking hilarious
>>344578223
Depends on the genre and whose localizing. I'm basing this on my experience, not just final fantasy. Americans often got the short end of the stick from NES, SNES, and Genesis days. Japan only became hyper casualized once smartphones became a thing.
>>344571576
The single greatest Medieval Town building simulator of the 90's. Seriously, if you play this, then play Banished, you can tell that someone was a massive fan.Too bad that the combat system was beyond shite, as well as being mandatory.
>>344578223
>American ports have been harder than Japanese versions since the beginning of time
Maybe recently
>Neat story.
>fun strategy.
>Turned into a hack and slash when your hero got into combat.

Objectively the best game on the Xbox original.
>>344578145

There's talk of Devolver making it happen, but I'll only believe it when I actually see it.
>>344578002
In the same vein (spiritual sequel? Not really sure what you'd call it) this was the the cat's tits.

>>344578443
I loved that game, but what was with that word they just cut out? the Pope or something
I habe NEVER seen this game mentioned anywhere outside of /v/.
Which is a shame because it's one of the best RPG's I've played and the best spy game ever made.
>>344578002
>kojima couldn't keep his name off the box
god damn it
>>344578145
I'm enjoying it so far (with only a mild raging boner for Lubella). What do you find so bad about it, my nigga?
I should try this game again to see how it holds up today.
>>344578560
You do realize we're not talking about american made games but americanized/localized ports right? That was the point of my first post nigga. Stop posting hyperbole.
>>344578543

Just finished another playthrough of the campaign this morning.
>>344578049
>>344578361
>>344578370
These niggas don't even know
Harry potter and the chamber of secrets for game boy color, one of the best RPG I've ever played.
Contact for DS is really an obscure title, but I'm sure that some eremit on /v/ has already talked about it.
Shiren the wanderer is a 10/10 game that everyone should try once.
MOTHERFUCKING CASTLEWEEN. Nobody ever, ever talks about it, it's amazing.
Scaler is a bit short and has some repetitive arena battles, but it's fun all the way through, especially when you learn how 2 invisible.
>>344571576
Beetle Adventure Racing, though I suppose that's still fairly popular.
>>344578370
Ninja Gaiden and Contra were much harder than the Jap versions
I will keep shilling this game until the day I die.
>tfw monster hunter is now a normie game
i still dont know how it happened
>>344578370
A lot of US versions of NES games are much harder than the jap counterparts.
Most noted example would be Castlevania 3.
>>344577542
the fucking split screen man. This and metal arms were my favorite 4 player games
Dungeons & Dragons Heroes. My friends and I rented it with their blockbuster summer pass cause there was nothing to lose and it ended up being the Gauntlet Dark Legacy sequel we always wanted.
This was great.A flawed gem.
>>344578616
Patriarch. If I recall it had something to do with the localization.
>>344577881

If only it had caught on. imagine the more advanced sequels we could have had instead of the shitty kinect game
![Radiant-Historia[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HswF2vT.jpg "Radiant-Historia[1].jpg")
>>344571576
Radiant Historia for DS. Made by a fucking dream team just like Chrono Trigger, has an elder god tier story and soundtrack, every fight forces you to think and plan instead of mashing A to win the fight, you can use status effects on bosses, yet this is rarely ever mentioned anywhere and it's gone nearly unnoticed when it came out.
>>344578293
This. Do I really have to buy it to play it?
>>344577554
nope. its way too long
>>344578814
Nintendo happened.
Tri had a shitload of newcomers to the series that could barely manage to defeat the Barroth online.
After that people started to show interest in the series. 3U and 4U were extremely active online, expecially 4U thanks to its amazing demo brought in lots of fresh meat.
Literally the best Zelda clone not named Okami
>>344578443
PC when?
binary domain
call of juarez gunslinger literally never herad of it ever not even discussed on /v/ ever until i got it through humble bundle
mark of the ninja, overlooked big time, best stealth game of all time

overlooked MMOS are SWTOR and ESO, actually really decent questlines and worth playing through atleast one
last remnant , best SRPG in like forever, and no SRPG has caught up to the improvements it made to the genre

This man speaks the truth.
Mystical quest

It looks like shovelware but it's actually a really fun and charming restaurant management/cooking sim.
>>344578918
boring as shit, m8. if it didnt have animu graffix it'd be completely forgotten
>>344578814
This is a bad thing how?
Maybe we'll get more shit localized if people besides weeaboos bought the damn thing.
>>344578365
Dude, just download the Raider's mod for Banished and you have this game.
>>344578702
American games, when localized to japan, are made easier since 16 bit days.
American versions of Japanese games were sometimes harder and sometimes easier in the 8 and 16 bit eras and have been blanket harder since 32 bit era.
>>344571576
Heard Zak and Wiki for the wii us supposed to be good
>>344578721
Can't agree with Contact because the story generally makes no sense, depending on an Earthbound-like "lol it's so random" attitude to pass off the fact that the story is a piece of shit. The gameplay is very basic, basically just auto-attack shit. It has some neat ideas but none of them are executed well, like skill trees. You have to actually grind for hours before you even reach the end of a single skill tree, and the ability gained is never worth it. You can beat the game without ever even getting close to maxing out a skill. Plus they consume so much valuable green bar you're not gonna use any high level skills anyway. Just my two cents... also the game is painfully popular.
8 Eyes.
Some of my favorite music on the NES and its just so damn charming.
Beat all 3 modes three times over.
The World Ends With You. Generally considered to be really good, but definitely overlooked. It deserved much more success than it did. Literally the best RPG, both story-wise and mechanically in the last 2 decades.
Daikatana. Played it recently (with the newest patches) and beat it. Had a gamebreaking bug at one point but using cheats solved it. The first chapter of the game is the most frustrating (the sidekick AI part), but it's still an extremely fun and creative first person shooter. Have some patience for it and it's a great game.
I've never once heard of god hand outside of /v/

You don't have to lie just because you don't like the game.

>>344575270
Spiderman 2, heck even that spiderman ps1 game was amazing
>>344578321
I agree with you.
A lot of people here don't socialize with normies on a regular basis. They have a pretty distorted idea of what the general public knows about games...
I'll make a wild guess... You are over 30, aren't you?
>>344579448
i never said it was a bad thing. its just very strange that only a few years a go nobody gave a shit about the series despite it being excellent and now its rapidly becoming extremely popular and i cant figure out why
>>344579624
Nigga the Idea of sailing wasn't bad. It's the fact that you spend 7 minutes sailing in a straight fucking line doing FUCK ALL to get to the next Island.
Something you btw can look forward to in Breath of Wind. Only that you're running across an open world instead of a sea.

Dino Crisis 3 is even more obscure. It's almost completely forgotten and no one ever talks about it.
Seriously, most people, even people who played the first two games, have no idea a third game exists.

I wonder how easy it is to pirate the DLC nowadays.
>>344571576
The best handheld Castlevania game. Don't really know if it's truly obscure, I just remember loving the shit out of it as a kid and nobody I have ever met seems to have played it.
>>344579948
Probably because it's shit, being Xbox exclusive and not having anything to do with the other two don't help it either.

The value of the game shot up from $5 to $30 very suddenly when people started making others aware of this 'hidden gem'. It's by no means a true hidden gem like this thread is asking for, not anymore.

What about mario 2?
>>344577969

This little gem. So overlooked, yet so fucking awesome. Anyone who liked half-life would love this game, it's on a same engine with some modifications. You can customize your weapons depending on the situation or style, dayum. And it was released in 2000.
One of the main voices in this game is done by the same voice actor as Bill in Left4Dead.

Momo 1-3 are a Cave Story hack with an emphasis on trying to do a no-hit run. Characters have projectiles with some variation (you get more than one option in 3, 1, is all projectiles with no melee), can attack continuously without pausing like it's Megaman Zero, speed is pretty quick even without a dash mechanic, there's some enemy/projectile deflection shit.
Momo 4 tried to slow things down (presumably following the "Dark Souls is slow, ergo slow is good" train of thought- You can't deflect projectiles, you can't unlock meaningful variations on your projectile or melee attacks, there are limitations on the melee attack string and projectile charge, and the only way to move quickly is a dash the game couldn't be designed around because it's nonlinear and allows you to collect that upgrade last.
Meanwhile, all the shit you'd expect from the early games is still here. So now you're getting hit by shit you used to be able to deflect but can't, boss fights take forever because you used to strike continuously and now can't, etc. And the added mechanics to compensate suck. The roll isn't really tuned at all for the length enemy attacks take and can lead to you getting hit after dodging something, so jumping is almost always better. The charge shot doesn't retain if you move certain ways, so spammed fire is almost always better. Hitstun is inconsistent on bosses and melee obscures the boss animations, so projectiles are almost always better.
It feels like the dude got so preoccupied with trying to be "original" that he forgot that his new shit didn't gel with his highly derivative old design style. On top of that he kept graphics from Momo 3 in 4, despite the sprites all being upsized, so it just looks weird and laughable in spots.
Doubly so for the Japanese-only Sega Saturn/PS1 version.
"combat" was pretty shit but the racing felt great
>>344579928
Yes, but the fucking atmosphere of that game, and there was rarely ever nothing to look at. It was a veritable feast for the eyes. I'm thinking that the main reason /v/ hates the sailing is because 90% of people were young and had a "I need to kill something every 90 seconds or I get bored" mindset."
Honestly, everyone keeps telling me that they hated the "Fetch the 8 Triforce pieces" quest, but I found it to be my favourite. "What's that, game? You want me to go explore every inch of this beautifully crafted world? Fuck it, I was gonna do that anyway, but now I get rewarded for it."
This is literally my favorite game of all time, and nobody even replies to me any time I post it in /v/, and I've posted it many times.
Play for comfy.
>>344580519
Yeah but the reason they didn't bring jap mario 2 was because they thought americans weren't good enough.
It was good enough to warrant an HD version recently, but I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned on /v/ before.

Stella Glow is the worst game I paid money for this decade.
Would this count as underrated?
>>344580694
I'll be honest, I know Jumping Flash but I never knew it had a sequel
>>344580682
We Genesis now?
If anyone unironically puts Spec Ops on any list other than "Generic TPSs With Cliched as Fuck Writing", they should just fucking stop playing games permanently.
>>344579854
Yeah. I am.
And yeah I think so too. If you spend time on /v/ chances are you're sick of specc ops threads and have seen a couple thousand since it came out. But normies? Fuck no. Outside of vidya related circles, barely anyone has played that game. You have to take the mainstream shit like CoD and Skyrim. Next to their popularity Specc ops doesn't even show up on the graph. so these ARE underrated games. If OP wants games underrated by /v/s standards you'll have to look for some REAL obscure shit like King's Field which only recently got some attention due to being the "proto souls" games. chances are if a game is any kind of good, /v/ already knows about it.

I will never forget this game.

Is it a smash clone?
>>344580449
While it is obscure and all, I have never played a slower, more boring, easier and overall weeber game than this one. This game managed to make me regret pirating it, as hilarious as it sounds. I have no clue on how they did it, since I actually didn't dislike luminous arc that much, but they just straight up copied it and made it worse. Even the witches design is worse ffs. What were they thinking.

JF is great, but the sequel is definitely my favorite. There was a third, but it never made landfall in the west, and it changed up the formula, not very good.
JF2 is a 10/10 game imo
t-thanks for the reply, I'm glad you at least got to play the first Jumping Flash

Iron Storm Momotheruckers, that shit was the best. Played it for hours in a row when I was just a kid
>>344578370
7th Saga came over with enemies that were 4x stronger across the board.
Contra was easier in Japan. Hard Corps had a lifebar in Japan.
Bayou Billy's difficulty was made into batshit insane compared to Mad City
Ninja Gaiden 3 had unlimited continues in Japan
Contra 3 US has no cheat codes unlike Japan
DMC3's first release here had Japan's Hard mode as our Normal mode
There's a lot of examples of games being made harder, just like there are examples of games being made easier too.

I thought it was shit worse than 1? I've literally never seen anyone have a positive opinion of it
>>344576315
I've got mixed feelings on this one. I played easily 100+ hours (co-op was great) and remember it fondly, but it simply doesn't hold up. Tried playing it a few weeks back and there's so many fucking problems.

How does it feel knowing the sequel is an MMO that's taking as long to come out as Blade & Soul did?

>I don't think ANY mario game is underrated.
Super Mario Land 2. Nobody ever talks about it and it's top tier.
>>344580854
butthurt "but muh forced to burn them!" babby detected.
>>344579889
Here's a big hint: its literally one of the two games worth giving a shit about if you have a 3DS.
Fuck the only reason I got a 3DS was for 4U, and I hadn't even heard of monster hunter until my gf picked up 3U like a month before 4U came out.

During the sailing there where LOTS of moments where there was nothing to see at sea. You just kept the button pushed to get 5 or so square to the north and sometimes all you see in the time is bad weather coming up, or some asshole animals trying to kick you off your ship. Yeah maybe sometimes you found a pirate lookout but that was pretty much nothing of note.
the game was great whenever you left your boat. the actual sailing was super fucking tedious. Something they realized for the OH GOD ALL THE BLOOM version
>>344579125
>last remnant
It got bad rep because of the 360 version.Let's kick some A!
>>344577036
Aside of the broken English translation, it's pretty good. Gameplay feels a lot like Dragon's Crown.
If you know French, you should play it in French.

Did anybody else ever play this game? This was my fucking jam as a kid.
>>344580706
Kinda, but that's really overgeneralizing it. Considering the U.S. had just gotten over the vidya crash it wouldn't have been wise to bring over a sequel to the most popular game around that a) visually looked identical b) made little innovation over the original and c) had extremely bullshit difficulty. Regardless this has nothing to do with the conversation since it didn't get localized in the first place and we're specifically talking about difficulty changes in localized games.
This game.

>shotgun with rifle bullets
im interested already
>>344581160
It was lame in most regards. I was expected to feel bad for people that got killed off screen just because I pressed the button to continue the game. the angry mob around your friend at one point was the only good part
>>344581160
Not even close. Honestly, that scene was fucking laughable because you didn't even know they were there until afterwards. What kind of shit writer expects the player to feel remorseful in a situation where the player LITERALLY has no choice and you don't even know the people effected? Terrible fucking writing and then """"twist"""" ending was so transparent that even a Down's Syndrome sufferer like yourself likely solved it 2 hours into the game. Two hours, mind you, if half of the game since this piece of shit is only 4 hours long.
>>344581160
Learn to read before you shitpost, retard.
>>344581458
It's a melee-focused game actually.
>>344581058
Original RE1 was made much harder in the US.
Enemies hit harder, more sturdy, no auto aim.
Director's Cut reverts all the changes.
>>344581395
Reminds me of the guy that couldn't play games without a carton aesthetic.
>>344581367
Picked it up one day, just couldn't get into it.
I think its mostly because of how heavily "influenced" it is by GiTs I just couldn't be fucked to learn the combat system to progress through the story, as stupid as that sounds.
Honestly seemed like a slower godhand with guns.
>>344578619
Those fuckers with the nvg's though
>>344581137
because it's a great game just like Mario bros 1.
added to that there isn't much bullshit you can make up about the game. Like "why is this guy behind bars" in Mario Kart, or "what's written under this statue? why is this city under water with such weird music?" in Mario 64. or the "deepest lore" "mario clone comes up, original mario dies, clone stays" bullshit. Not even very many interesting facts like that super mario bros 3 is a play. or that super mario bros 2 was just a re-sprite version of Doki Doki Panic because the Jap M2 was considered "too hard".
not much conversation topic about a game that's just a great game.
>hey you played Mario Land 2?
>yeah good game.
>true.

I thought Oni is popular. Mostly because it was made by Bungie. Also fuck the dream level I never managed to get through it
>>344580454
Oh, shit. I loved this game
>>344581387
This was free onOrigina few weeks ago.
I downloaded it, and installed it, but have yet to play it.
