Post your favorites, be it hidden gems or just underrated shit.
one of the most fun random purchases, ever
Hi op you're a cool dude shadow of destiny was a great game catch you later buddy
>>345424768Saw SGB let's play this. Uncle also had this.
Is it still getting a HD release?
>>345425689
Never heard anything about a HD release. It got ported to PSP couple of years back with some minor visual differences and completely re-done voice acting with new VAs. It's SH collection tier fuckup.
>>345425872
Why would someone do this
>>345424894
Fucking great game.
One of my favorites, though not an opinion shared by many.
War of the Monsters. Fucking loved that game. Also, anyone remember that gta rip off where you just shot people in malls and shit? Anyone remember the name? It was a ps2 game
Seriously, watch the trailer.
![coverk[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TTAd5JG.jpg "coverk[2].jpg")
>>345425936
Dunno. To top it off, they got the fucking Ben Ten guy to voice the MC.
Fun fact - game is made by team silent guys. Image unrelated but related to thread
>>345425872
>PSP
Why tho?
Why is the PS2 full of gems?
It's pretty great. No one talks about it though. It's all: muh papers please and undertale when it comes to indie games on this site.
>>345426093
Shifting between all 3 forms on the fly was fun as shit. I never did beat the final boss though, since young me just couldn't keep up.
>>345426253
It truly is. Pic related is my ps2 hdd.
>>345426220
That game is neither gem nor hidden.
>>345426403
Says you.
>>345427982
Not really. The combat is boring as fuck and half-way through you just don't want to do it at all.
Weapon upgrading is cryptical as shit unless you go look FAQs for upgrade paths. Factory is complete shit. Story is boring & predictable as fuck. Areas get dull fast.
It's by far the weakest game Level-5 has ever put out.
>>345426403
beats cuck cloud 2 at least.
>>345428175
Nice opinion.
>>345427982
Obviously fuckface, who the hell else would have said it, if not him? Was it not fucking clear enough that it was said by him when he was the one who said it? Who needed that extra clarification? Is this what you do, go around dispensing useless tripe and pass it off as 'contributing to the discussion'?
>>345428251
I agree with him. Combat hardly changes
>>345424768
Some of the decisions made by the devs for this game were flat out stupid. However, I love this game to bits and it's way better than the PSX Galerians.
>>345428251
Ha, at least try
I remember i played it together with my lil bro.
>>345426253
it was in the sweetspot of being easy to develop for and not too expensive to make games for.
>>345428592
that kid be fucked up as an adult now, your brother
>>345428592
HoD is pretty popular though, it's just old
>>345428705
>has a wife and a house
>working 100k a year job at engineering company
>still has time to play some new games like overwatch with me
I don't know man.
Shadow of Destiny is pretty hilarious desu
>>345428318
Nice shitpost, nigger.
>>345424768
It was kinda funny see the dog from Chibi-Robo in this game
Driving physics
car destructions
fairly lenghtly game with nice sandbox elements
replay cam
hidden vehicles
nice challange modes
Enjoyed it as a kid/10
![250px-EternalRing_front-1-[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Sfw4zLC.jpg "250px-EternalRing_front-1-[1].jpg")
Watched my dad play this game all the way through back when we first got a PS2. Couldn't really wrap my head around it at the time but goddamn the final boss had an absolutely fucked life.
This is the definition of hidden gem. It was so comfy, original and had so much content I cannot believe it didnt became a series.
Radiata Stories is another one.
>>345427787
>>345426220
>>345428952
Don't be retarded, these are in no way "hidden gems."
>>345428251
The fact that you can't say anything substantial about it just proves my point.
>>345428206
Like hell it does. Even if Dark Cloud 2's combat isn't anything special it's still an improvement over Dark Cloud 1 overall (broken weapons don't literally disappear) and building is great.
>>345429039
>boot the game up
>go to fix a drink or something
>game idles on the start screen for a bit until main cast appears and greets you
It's the little things dude
Yeah it's kinda short and unpolished
But otherwise it's pretty fucking fun game
And it costs like 3$
>>345428206
Also,
>Unironically using cuck
Stop.
>>345428206
why is cuck cloud so fun to say
New game NEVER
>>345426028
You and I are kindred spirits anon.
>>345427982
It was re-released in HD will full trophy support on PS4.
>>345429153
never played it but played Shinobi
you are now manually hearing that song in your head
>>345429081
No, it doesn't. I don't have to say anything when dealing with your OPINION.
>>345429215
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8nDFPeSK0I
>>345429250
You can't even fucking defend your opinion dude. That's why replies like yours just keep on proving my point.
>>345429102
That game is so full of nice details like that it really makes me feel like they made the game with love.
Can only imagine what the cancelled sequel could have been.
>>345424768
It wasn't at the time, but Fear Effect became this for me. Shame because it was actually a decent game when teenage players weren't yammering on about lesbians and tits.
>>345424768
where's a good place to obtain old games that isnt GOG?
>>345429321
They don't prove anything, shitlord. But please, keep acting like your opinions are facts.
>>345429276
aww yea
>>345429420
>Shitlord
Back to tumblr you go.
You haven't said ONE thing why you think the game is such a gem. All you can do is go "nuh-uh" like a little kid.
You're just digging yourself deeper.
>>345424768
first two discworld games got atention because of their ridiculous puzzles and direct ties to the books, but noir was sadly forgotten for some reason. it's the kind of game that wolf among wishes it was half as good as.
>>345429343
Supposedly there was something about affecting the political nature of the town you would live in. Or have some kind of impact on the social class.
>>345429486
>he thinks tumblr invented shitlord
Look at how new you, it's fucking embarrassing.
>>345429540
Enjoy never getting your opinions taken seriously :-)
But you already know that Rogue Galaxy is trash :P
>>345428969
Basically just Kings Field. I remember playing it for like four hours, then getting bored and never playing it again.
Keep in mind i was like 14 when it came out, so I may enjoy it now or maybe it really was just dull.
I only heard about this recently, but it's actually a really fun light strategy game with a ton of content. It's a shame it doesn't get talked about very often, even in the context of Peter Molyneux's games.
>>345429609
Enjoy your opinion, matey.
>>345429039
I'd kill for a remake that expanded on the game's mechanics.
>More girls to woo
>Choices that didn't only affect the current situation
>More jobs to engage in
>Wider range of clothes, with more permutations and combinations instead of the default dozen or so outfits
>At least double the number of songs to perform, a jukebox that isn't shit to listen to them on
>Revamped combat that plays relatively the same, but more structurally sound, and no game overs
>>345429053
Driv3r is underrated as all fuck you fucking muck
>>345429102
Pretty cool how it they had nearly all the major characters do the line, even that faggot who runs the arena in the starter town.
>>345426403
>Unironically hating Rogue Galaxy
>>345429039
>tfw always want to play this when someone brings it up but the PS2 emulation for it is shit
Custom robots and waifus sounds like a great combo
>>345429490
I hated that game at first because of the weird puzzles and no Rincewind.
But then I sat down and gave it a go and fucking loved it about as much as Discworld 2.
That letter puzzled me out the entire game until you are told what it was for.
>>345430256
I'm pretty sure there's a working emulation now. It might not do squat for the graphics, but at least you can enjoy somewhat shorter load times and none of the glitches found in the PS3 BC that made the little shit Basil turn invisible.
>>345430226
I don't hate it, it's just legitimately boring as fuck and uninteresting as it gets.
None of you actually even tried to prove me otherwise on my points.
>>345430080
Driv3r was literally released as beta version, dude. If it didn't have replay cam it would be completely worthless.
>>345430384
Nobody has to.
>>345430484
>Nobody has to tell why they like a game or what they think is good in it to be taken seriously
Ghostbusters 2016 is an amazing movie by the way.
I remember getting this for Christmas and none of my friends had it, so I stopped.
Years later after I lost it I found a copy at Gamestop for a buck.
>>345430582
>This somehow means my opinions about I didn't like about mean it's a terrible game!
really fun game...capcom published it in japan...nice cover art.
Fucking loved the art style for the game. Shame it's graphics didn't reflect the style nearly as perfectly, which is probably the biggest thing I'd like to see done if the sequel were to be picked up again.
>>345429153
good taste dude, I remember when I first fought the final boss I paniced and threw one of my 999 seconds sleep bombs at him and we were both unconcious for 16 minutes real time. what a world
also that GOD DAMN BEAR SEGMENT
>>345430783
You're not even making any sense anymore. Go to bed, Jimmy.
>>345430384

I enjoyed it and there is fuck you can do about it, people talk shit therefore its underrated IN MY OPINION and now fuck off
>>345428938
practically everything by Love-de-lic could be considered a hidden gem. they only released 3 games under that studio, but when it went under a lot of the people splintered off and formed new studios, like Punchline who'd make Chulip and Rule of Rose(2 great hidden gems) or Vanpool and Skip Ltd. who are responsible for a wealth of hidden gems like Chibi Robo, Little King's Story, Giftpia on top of more well known games like Superstar Saga. honestly some of the most talented and creative people came from Love-de-lic in the late 90s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0BijzQHSg
>>345430751
goddammit, anon. it never got released in the us, right?
>>345430841
Shame the plot was total dogshit, made more hilarious that some dillweed tried to sue Midway for supposedly "stealing it" from him.
>>345430902
You're not doing any better with that entry level shitposting, bub.
>>345429153
there was a sequel on the Vita by the way, it didn't look like much changed other than character models
Could be repetitive, but it was fun. Kind of like Just Cause 2, for its time.
>>345425872
>It's SH collection tier fuckup.
The new voices are fucking amazing and the changes in visuals don't mean anything because Shadow of Destiny is an early ps2 game. You don't compare it to a SH collection fuckup, forget your rose tinted glasses.
>>345425872
>redone voice acting
I'm not even going to look that up, and thankfully I still have a working ps2 and a copy of this game.
It's amazing how such a low budget title could end up being so mesmerizing, I miss this type of creativity in games today, it's all the budget and flash that people care about.
>>345430256
Sadly, the waifu portion is lacking.
Connies is just... the worst thing ever. Holy shit, how can someone be so awful.
Savory can't be fucked in the postgame despite being Best Girl.
You can't actually fuck Second-Best Girl Nora even though you damn well earn it. (You get the best weapon in the game by wooing her, though)
You can fuck an older woman who talks like a sailor, though... that's kinda amusing.
>>345430907
> people talk shit therefore its underrated IN MY OPINION and now fuck off
Your opinion means fuckall when it was objectively released as beta version of the game full of glitches and bugs. They even dared to put full price tag on it.
Do you defend Ubisoft releasing unfinished games nowadays as well? Or anyone for that matter?
And like it or not, it's not underrated. That one has nothing to do with your opinion either. Imagine if I said that [Popular thing X] was underrated in my opinion. That wouldn't make sense at all, would it?
>>345431019
Dude, they got a fucking Ben Ten voice actor. Fuck off.
Literally the best Xbox Live Indie ever
Apparently getting an updated 3ds version
![Black_Dvd_ntsc-[cdcovers_cc]-front.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0ik7aLP.jpg "Black_Dvd_ntsc-[cdcovers_cc]-front.jpg")
I still think this forgotten game holds up today. Good, solid, a little generic in the plot, but great action.
>>345431151
Only flaw is that missions tend to be a bit on the long side, sometimes up to an hour and having to retry from scratch when you die is hardcore.
Also fuck weapon sponges. Having to hit someone in the head with 20 bullets before they die has no place in a military shooter, realistic or not.
>>345431141
>They got a ben ten voice actor
Listen. First, that sentence doesn't mean anything. Second, the original dub was utter shit early ps2 dubbing tier. It was insanely bad. So even if you were right we went from "absolute shit" to "slightly less shit". My point still stands.
Man I love that game but fuck the original voices, go and replay it goddammit. The scenes in the medieval times are so cringe worthy.
>>345430910
>Sense something horribly horribly wrong while playing Chulip (other than the random for the sake of random stuff)
>See who made it
>Oh god... oh god, it's true...
I make no apologies....
>>345431151
This thing was a huge disappointment.
I literally finished it in 4 hours, the same evening I bought it. Never touched it again.
>>345431136
You shit on it, everyone shit on it while it being a good game makes it underrated. In my opinion it is underrated, objectivly, it is underrated. Driver san francisco is underrated, too. You can still fuck off if you really want to. because I liked this game, it is underrated and lost to obscurity therefore hidden gem. It fits all criteria now please, please fuck off memelord.
Chain weapon before God of War, Beautiful game, solid boss battles, but very limited enemies. Honestly, this is a game you might want to consider playing. Still think it looks great.
>>345431249
The original voices were much better, don't be fucking stupid. Eike's actor might have been stiff at times, but he actually sounded appropriate to the character, unlike fucking Yuri "I can't do anything but my Ben 10/Sasuke voice" Lowenthal. Not only that, Homunculus' voice actor was objectively superior, being played by fucking Charles Martinet, the dude who does Mario.
The PSP dub is a terrible mistake, just like the SH collection redub. Maybe not as disastrously handled, but still unfitting crap.
>>345431334
It was shat on because it was just another GTA clone attempt to cash in on Driver's name. Other than that, like I said, it was finished as unfinished as it gets.
It got RIGHTFULLY shat on.
So no, it is not underrated or is it obscure.
Just because you enjoy an unfinished game and eating shit, doesn't mean it's an actual gem of a game.
> It fits all criteria
It fits the criteria because you force it to fit that criteria. I could pick any popular game of the past that doesn't get talked about anymore and claim it's "obscure" and hidden because of that. But that would be bullshit.
>please fuck off memelord.
Desperate, huh?
>>345431584
>Homunculus explains how much of a faggot you are
I accept your argument just because the filename is so appropriate.
Fuck, now I'm nostalgic, gonna replay it. Is it easily emulated on pcsx2?
>>345430981
It's not that good, it removed quite a bit of the freedom in gameplay you had in the original.
People always say underrated game that nobody played. But after all this time, I think people went back, took a chance with it, and enjoyed it. Great game!
>>345431125
Connie is hardly awful, but there's no denying the choices regarding the girls are indeed quite limiting. Nora (and the broads in the first town) can be given the rare gems you find, but nothing special happens. Savory can't be wooed beyond a few dates and then she vanishes in the post-game no matter which ending you get. Captain Ciboulette definitely could have used some special scenes if you dated her before the end. Alas, the game was largely underdeveloped in a lot of places, like they either didn't have time to flesh them out or had to cut corners.
>>345431334
don't respond to him man, your time is worth more than that
>>345426253
This is one of the craziest games I've ever played, I never fucking understood the plot
>>345431637
From what I understand it should be, since the PC version is apparently too out of date as an alternative.
Not overrated as some claim, I think it's still a great game.
It's a rare game that puts a player in such confused state of mindfuck. Honestly it's very rare for a game nowadays to let me in that satisfied state after I finish it, let alone make me google shit about it and read on all the different interpretations for hours after the fact.
Sure, it looks dated as fuck, and sure, camera/controls are stiff as shit but hey it has charm.
>>345431125
Here's a larger image if you're interest. Thankfully, the website I got it from didn't have the watermark too intrusively slapped across it like what fucking DA does.
>>345431924
And while I'm at it, I'll post Captain Tits, though I can't find a larger version of this image, sadly.
Should get more love then it already does. Does anyone still talk about this game? :(
>>345431637
If you have trouble with the emulation there is also a PSP version
>>345431919
You mean OP's game?
If so, I agree. It certainly hasn't aged as well as most Konami PS2 games, and the VA was pretty much somewhere between SH1 laughable (concerning some NPC voices) and SH2 where some characters felt genuine, but desperately in need of polish in their delivery.
>>345431910
It really is great, from a time Schafer was still loved.
sigh...So good, So beautiful.
>>345432058
>>345431910
>>345432127
More great examples of games that aren't hidden at all.
I haven't played the prequel with the black chick though.
>>345431629
I am not fucking talking about some bugs you retarded mudman, every game has bugs and many games today are released with gamebreaking bugs, it is completely irrelevant for the whole discussion.
Fact is: The game gets shat on unrightfully because of the things it did right, it did really awesome (liek the things I already stated). I am desperate for you to fuck off because I see that this discussion leads nowhere and that it is tedious to talk to some stubborn underb8.
1. game is underrated because people didnt even play it because of some retarded reviewers and shitposters like you.
2. ggame is a hidden gem because the whole driver series drivted into obscurity and nobody except some people even know these series exists., even more about driv3r.
>>345432110
True, but the redub just feels so wrong. Everyone is way too anime sounding, it's like the SH collection where you could tell "These are anime voice actors." which really kills it for some.
>>345432127
Everywhere I look I see people praising this "underrated gem"
It's still fun to this day
>hidden gems
>thinly veiled ps2 thread
here's a real hidden gem given that so many chinese autists on neogaf/v/ gave it a bad score
what masterful japanese game is this?
>>345432208
When I was little I couldn't stop staring at the girls' boobs. I mean really.
>>345432238
That's shadow of mordor.
Not Red Dead Revolver (which came out years later, and on another system), but for its time, although limited, this was the best western game around.
>>345432243
Margarete's?
>>345430910
Does Moon have an english translation yet? I want to play this game so bad.
What part of HIDDEN gems do you mouthbreathers not understand?
>>345432309
That... really was a simpler time. Wasn't it?
>Those textures
Best medieval dynasty simulator out there.
>>345432309
Or Dana's? Both were fairly stacked. Of course, the lead artist did Suikoden from what I've read, and I recall that series has some fairly big boobed chicks.
>>345432116
There was a Konami anniversary collage on their facebook sometime last year and they included it, it made me happy.
You have to understand that the game is almost a ps2 launch title so it has to look like shit. To me the low-poly models just add to the charm. Plus the plot is very busy and there is something going on almost all the time so the player isn't left with a lot of breathing room to be bothered by bland visuals.
Still probably one of my favorite games of all time for how it manages to be a kickass on-rails shooter with heavy political and character metaphors.
>>345432352
It was first year PS2, what do you expect? Granted, one would have expected a bit more from Konami, who pretty much used to make the consoles they worked with their bitches. Though I can imagine the team for it didn't get as much support as say Kojima's or Team Silent.
This is one of my favourite RPG's on the PS2/GCN.
Granted I'm a huge LoTR fag, so it might not be fully warranted, but I love it.
Elegost a best
>>345432435
>It was first year PS2, what do you expect?
I am not expecting anyhing. I am just surprised at how good it looks in my mind and how it actually looks in reality.
>>345432435
It WAS team silent who made it.
But it was a budget title.
>>345432369
It didn't have to look so simple, that was likely the team not having the same kind of talent like SH had. Still, the designs were good enough that if you can ignore the textures, they are certainly enjoyable. And the time travel was probably some of the best I've seen in most fiction.
Mystical, Polynesian, pretty good for its time.

It is so ridiculously well written, has virtually no plot holes.
>>345432489
Pretty sure it wasn't Team Silent, but people who had been part of the team when they did SH1. Don't forget, the team kept changing and losing/gaining members between each game. Hell, the director of the original left Konami entirely to do Siren, while one of the writers is responsible for this game. But I'm pretty sure it was their own new team, not the SH one since they were busy with SH2 which came out the following year.
>>345432174
>I am not fucking talking about some bugs you retarded mudman
Neither am I, idiot. It's objectively released unfinished and full of bugs and glitches. Nothing you say can change that.
>many games today are released with gamebreaking bugs, it is completely irrelevant for the whole discussion.
Stop making excuses. By far the most unfinished games come from Ubisoft. Do you always go defending AC like AC Unity when it releases unfinished as it can be?
It was a fucking lazy GTA clone that didn't match GTA at all. It was underdeveloped hunkajunk that only featured one good thing, the replay system.
You're just being fanboy/nostalgiafag here.
>1. game is underrated because people didnt even play it because of some retarded reviewers and shitposters like you.
I have the fucking game and I bought it at full price, stop pretending I'm shitposting. You're defending an unfinished game when nowadays people seem to lack that capability but actually had that capability back then.
>because the whole driver series drivted into obscurity
I'll let you figure out why. Also, that still doesn't mean it's fucking hidden.
Nobody talks about dozens and dozens of popular games from ages ago because they've been talked about back then and they're no longer RELEVANT.
By your definition I could call something like Lego Racers or Heart of Darkness hidden gems despite the fact that they were popular games.
>>345432608
Depends. If you nitpick things like how Homunculus is separate from his stone, or how he's clearly sealed in one ending, there are some questionable plot points. And the EX ending more or less runs on what I can only assume is "This results from converging timelines" hence why that particular Eike knows what's about to happen and can fuck with everything big time.
>>345432454
2 player is the worst excuse ever.
It would be easier to just swap the controller
>>345432657
Not that guy but those titles ARE obscure and hidden in year 2016, even on /v/.
Nowadays on this board nostalgia pleasure of choice is RE4 and COD4. PS1 and PS2 threads are rare as fuck.
Sign of times.
PS2 response to Jet Grind Radio? Doesn't matter, overlook Marc Ecko and his Rhino shirts and you have a very cool game right here my friends.

Okami sold like shit though so it pretty much fits. It IS a hidden gem, its not as popular as you'd think it is.
Loved how the monsters were kind of like Jim Henson's non-Muppet creatures; very strange, but with a kind of cuddly look to them.
>>345432809
TORUNADO FURAAAAMU!
But seriously, this game would've been so much better if the battles didn't take forever.
>>345432779
Yeah, that was always stupid. It was total lore rape
>>345432751
Never touched that, what was it like?
>>345432895
I liked how you had to collect pieces of picture books in order to get hints on how to beat the bosses.
But fuck having to play the game twice in order to fight the final boss.
>>345432753
>Not that guy but those titles ARE obscure and hidden in year 2016, even on /v/.
Only if you take the "current year" scope, by which 99% of popular games of the past are obscure and hidden.
>Nowadays on this board nostalgia pleasure of choice is RE4 and COD4
Yet nobody pretends RE4 is nostalgia and nobody posts COD4.
Hidden gem threads are always 99% games that everyone and their mother knows but doesn't get talked about because it was ages ago that they were released and 1% of actual hidden gems.
If you want pii ess 1 you go to /vr/.

It is and it isn't. It's not entirely hidden or obscure to the point that NOBODY knows about, but it certainly performed poorly enough that it's underrated for the fact that it got overshadowed by the then most recent Zelda titles (of which many compared the game) and just not getting the kind of hype Capcom gave to things like Devil May Cry and Resident Evil.
>>345432913
Identical to singleplayer but you use the second controller ONLY in the battle.
Like shooting stuff...good. Enjoy, nice and simple, and fun.

>Hidden gem threads are always 99% games that everyone and their mother knows but doesn't get talked about because it was ages ago that they were released and 1% of actual hidden gems.
seems to me you have a problem with the thread tile despite it being very common knowledge what these threads entail.
>If you want pii ess 1 you go to /vr/.
except this thread with its current number of replies would probably take two days on /vr/.
>>345432978
Not really the final boss, but yea, it was kind of lame how little difference there was in Keats and Ellen's story. They either should have had more things distinct to them, like some unique areas. Or at least the option to beat the game with just one character like say DMC2 where the only thing you miss are a few scenes.
I'd kill for a rerelease that fixed some of the other problems, like the load times between switching mons, and maybe giving Keats and Ellen special weapons to use when you don't want to use the Folk.

Played all the way through this recently - amusing all the way, even if it was a bit too simple at times. Recommended
>>345432358
>>345432913
Yeah. Pic related was great though. I loved The Hobbit book as a kid (still do) so I really appreciated how faithful this game was to the story and lore.
>>345433105
>seems to me you have a problem with the thread tile despite it being very common knowledge what these threads entail.
Many people seem to have the obsession to think that what they post are actually hidden gems, though. That's why it's fucking shit.
Plus, what's the point of making threads dedicated to console X's library when 99% of the posts are going to be of the same shit posted every time?
Sucks that Spore didn't even come close to being as amazingly made.
I want to see someone do a game like this with an evolving AI that grows like a virtual child. I keep hearing hype about the animal in that Last Guardian game, but I doubt it'll be anywhere as complex as the Norns.
>>345432879
this is actually the best RPG ever made
you don't know anything about it because sony has a monopoly on ignorance
theres much more you don't know about
>>345433279
Because it's different people every time that post them. The point of these threads it to discuss and find someone who liked these, usually for a good reason, shitty games as much as you and discuss it briefly. Nobody is going to play through all these games just because some fucktard in his mom's basement posteda a 200x200 thumbnail of it on a kamchatkan coloring bookboard.
While Final Fantasy was raging on, Square decided to make another RP....Fighter. Yep, here it is, Tobal No.1, character design by Akira Toriyama. Tobal 2 was never released in NA or Europe.
>>345433390
All the system have their hidden/underrated games, stop making thinly concealed console war jabs.
>>345433494
If it's different people then why are 99% of the posts the same? Don't you see the problem?
>>345433390
That's on PC too you console warring shitposter. It was even released a year or so before on PC.
>>345432657
>Neither am I, idiot. It's objectively released unfinished and full of bugs and glitches. Nothing you say can change that.
As are many many games today, considering that you could no update a ps2 title, it was impressive that I was still able to play through the whole game without encountering any so IDC MAN maybe you are just talking shit or my version was fine, whatever you have no point here.
>Stop making excuses
I am making comparions to prove that you have no point.
>Do you always go defending AC like AC Unity when it releases unfinished as it can be?
What a retarded argument, falacy furthermore, like our whole discussion.
>It was a fucking lazy GTA clone
Driver was first to make a 3d world where you could drive cars. GTA is a clone of driver you faggot.
>You're just being fanboy/nostalgiafag here.
Have you seen the damage models of the cars? Only rivaled by flatout 2. Driving mechanics and physics are better than new titles. Many interiors you could enter, shadows are really decent as is the world because it is huge, full of driveable vehicles and areas one could drive in (hidden cars and areas included)
>I have the fucking game and I bought it at full price, stop pretending I'm shitposting. You're defending an unfinished game when nowadays people seem to lack that capability but actually had that capability back then.
Is it unfinished? yes , is it bad? hell no.
> I could call something like Lego Racers or Heart of Darkness hidden gems despite the fact that they were popular games.
following your logic, we should stop talking about games because all it takes is going to the wiki and looking at the full game list. From 100 anons on here, every single one could say he played 10 of 1000 titles on that list and therefore for them would be the other 990 obscure or hidden.
Please go and take your hate speech with you.

I really don't. I see a repeating occurrence but certainly not a problem. The fact is, this is in the top 3% of threasd on /v/ quality wise whether you like it or not and I enjoy actual discussion on old games, inb4 /vr/.
I would rather see a Shadow of Destiny thread every day on /v/ over pretty much anything you can find right now when you open /v/ catalog.
>>345432657
Heart of Darkness is pretty fucking obscure, mate. It and most of its creator's games are only known to diehard gamers and the and artsy crowd. Seriously, you can't possibly expect anyone under 30 in this era to know about Heart of Darkness.

microsoft exclusive bro
unlike sony, MS has two major gaming platforms.
if something is available on windows and xbox, but not on playstation or nintendo, then it doesn't become any less exclusive
its actually called a microsoft exclusive
you need to deal with this fact
>>345433552
true, but so many other systems have much better libraries than sony.
and this thread is actually just a thinly veild sony brand name advertisement by neogaf shitposters
you really don't know how pathetic the type of people who admire sony games are.
>>345433795
If you're willing to make a thread in another several hours or so, I'd happily discuss it. Need to get some sleep soon, but that is a game I could spend hours talking about. It and that Steambot Chronicles.
>>345433612
>As are many many games today
Like I already said. The main culprit behind unfinished releases still remains Ubisoft.
>it was impressive that I was still able to play through the whole game without encountering any so IDC MAN maybe you are just talking shit or my version was fine,
You only have to fucking google "Driv3r" bugs to find lots of topics about it. But keep on pretending with that "works for me so you're full of shit" attitude.
>What a retarded argument, falacy furthermore, like our whole discussion.
How the fuck is it a fallacy? Driv3r was released unfinished. You defend it.
AC Unity was released unfinished. You say nothing but call it a fallacy to compare the two despite being by the same publisher and both of them were released unfinished.
>Driver was first to make a 3d world where you could drive cars. GTA is a clone of driver you faggot.
Yeah, remind me about that time you walked on foot, shot around baddies, civilians, found hidden shit and all in Driver 1 & 2. Driving doesn't fucking make it the first GTA, Driv3r is objectively an attempt to cash in on GTA's success.
You're fucking ridiculous fanboy who can't see no wrong in his speshul game.
>>345433848
Ok, now I know for a fact that you're just baiting.
>>345433926
You walked on foot in Driver 2. Driver 2 inspired GTA3 dude.
>>345433824
Me and my niece played it and were both under 30.
Not only that, back when Kellogg's cereals came out with some game demos it was one of the games that had demos on them.
Namco decides to make a brawler....uses Nina Williams. It's a beat em' up all right.
>>345433848
>shifting goalposts this hard
So I guess classic xbox isn't that great after all if I can play its games on another platform huh
>>345434003
And you shot around baddies, civs, and shit? Come on dude.
>>345433612
>Driver was first to make a 3d world where you could drive cars. GTA is a clone of driver you faggot.
Not that guy, but you're completely wrong. While Driver 1 DID create a 3D world you could drive in that GTA wouldn't see until it's third mainline entry. Even then, that's the only similarity they have; driving. GTA had much more going for it than Driver did until the third entry where it tried to be like the series that had previously mocked it.
And as we know, the game wasn't very successful in the "take THAT" back at R*.
>>345434003
Just to add, even if it inspired it it's far from being a Driver clone. Driv3r however is quite literally an attempt to ape GTA.
>>345433848
>and this thread is actually just a thinly veild sony brand name advertisement by neogaf shitposters
In that case post some underrated Xbox gems instead of crying about it. Here, I'll give you a free one.
anyone post this, still pretty good.
>>345434008
It's still not as widely known as some people think it is.
>>345433824
>Seriously, you can't possibly expect anyone under 30 in this era to know about Heart of Darkness.
>implying cinematic platformers are remotely obscure
Everyone's heard of Another World, Flashback, Prince of Persia, Blackthorne, and yes, Heart of Darkness. Shit isn't remotely obscure.

>>345432356
>Not the original
Europe 1400 was the first game to make me stay up all night.
But my true love is picreleated. Even though I dislike edge, this game somehow resonates with me.
>>345434047
>another platform
yeah, another microsoft platform
...they make more than one major gaming platform
......because microsoft is an actual company who works with technology and computers
sony has always been a mid-grade consumer electronics manufacturer who prices their products as high-grade
infact, the first computer sony ever made was the MSX, which is a microsoft computer
int he 1980's japan used to be americas hardware slaves, before they taught china how to push buttons at a factory
>>345434212
Prince of Persia is know because it never faded from the spotlight. But only hardcore gamers know about Chahi's games. Ask any random person you know, and they'll probably go "Nope, don't think I heard of that one"
>>345434047
Don't respond to a stupid platform war hamsterposter.
>>345432159
I love this game, although I never could finish it, since it became too difficult at one point. I own the ps1 game too
>>345434347
Kind of hoping that'll get a PS4 port since Primal was released not long ago. Haven't played that version yet, but I can bet it still has the teaser for Ghost Hunter with the ghost chick appearing after the credits.
>>345434162
Mah nigga!
"Shadow, go!"
>Fucking dog tears the throats out of everybody
Shit was SO cash.
>>345434261
Great game. Built on the gameplay of another underrated gem from the same company,
>>345434537
Then they did that semi-reboot and fucked everything up.
Also, sucks that they canned the game tied to Dethklok, it sounded pretty cool.
![shadow_man[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IxBCKlP.jpg "shadow_man[1].jpg")
What about this beauty. Granted, I never finished the damn game, was too difficult for little me at the time, but boy did I enjoy wandering around. It took me an hour to use a fucking bear to get into Hell.
>>345434421
Oh man, now here is a textbook definition of underrated.
Imagine a more gothic, less philosophical Legacy of Kain with a self-aware female protag and an ironic shitlord of a stone statue goblin companion.
Loved it even if exploration was at times very un-handholding.
>>345433926
>Like I already said. The main culprit behind unfinished releases still remains Ubisoft.
So what. I know the fact that ubisoft shat out the game 6 months to early and corrupted 2 magazines. I know that they are the problem I dont support them but I like the game. There is no hidden agenda in my opinion just the simple fact that I really enjoyed this game despite people saying it has bugs ( I really, honestly cant remeber them being present because it was years ago since I played it)
>You only have to fucking google "Driv3r" bugs to find lots of topics about it. But keep on pretending with that "works for me so you're full of shit" attitude.
I will gladly do so because like duded, many games have bugs. Sure it was a dick move from ubisoft and I am, as you, really disappointed but driver was killed even after ubisoft. parallel lines was cool but not that fucking grand and san francisco ditched the 3rd person on foot mechanics therefore wasnt really the "upgraded" driver but still a really fun game I nearly 100%. people just were not interested in the series anymore i suppose.
>How the fuck is it a fallacy? Driv3r was released unfinished. You defend it
I defend the fun I had with driver
>You say nothing but call it a fallacy to compare the two despite being by the same publisher and both of them were released unfinished.
Ubisoft shit attitude has nothing to do with the fact that driver is a fun game
>Yeah, remind me about that time you walked on foot, shot around baddies, civilians, found hidden shit and all in Driver 1 & 2
I did so in driver 2
>You're fucking ridiculous fanboy who can't see no wrong in his speshul game.
Maybe I am, at least I am not some retard bliinded by pure hate towards company politics
The game is good, even by today standards albeit a bit buggy
>>345434283
That still doesn't change the Xbox itself being shit.
YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH, all this shit talkin' in this thread bitchessss. Anyway, wanna punch Lil' Kim in the face with Henry Rollins? How about Snoop Dog drop kicking Carmen Electra. Right. Fuckin. Hea! Good fighting game though, can dress you fighter with Sean John....Remember them?
Anybody?
*Cricket chirps*
>>345434554
I wouldn't say it was underrated, but it certainly goes uncredited despite coming out around the same time as the Spider-Man 2 game and being just as solid a superhero sandbox, and of course years before the Arkham games basically undid the "superhero game curse'.
As for prototype, that is pretty well known and did well enough. Sadly the sequel was a mixed bag of some good new ideas, and terrible ones. Plus the plot was stupid with Mercer turning on humans because he got NTR'd.
>>345434112
I was not the one comparing the titles, just pointing out the fact that driver was the first 3d game of the both franchises and therefore, not really copying gta until driv3r.
>>345430841
PC version is freeware.
>>345434554
I remember playing newer Hulk with somewhat samish concept. It was tamer then this one though.
>Retarded comic where Alex is betrayed by some chick and goes all saturday morning villain
>Prototype 2 with charismatic James "I hate computers" Heller
>Third part with Pariah and Alex reconsuming Heller from inside because original strain lol is kill
It hurts.
>>345434602
I was pretty surprised that it wound up on the PS4 PSN, literally a day or so after I had just thought of it out of the blue.
>it had a joke about killing Tomb Raider
>Angel of Darkness bombs hard and pretty much sent the franchise into a spiral
That was eerie shit.
>>345432290
it's literally better than red dead redemption. somehow way more atmospheric, rockstar just produce bland turds
>>345434662
Now this is something they need to either put on PC, or make an HD version for Xbone and PS4. Granted, the story mode was kind of short, but man was that shit fun as hell.
>>345434818
>Third part with Pariah and Alex reconsuming Heller from inside because original strain lol is kill
Was that really the plot for the third game had they been greenlit?
>>345434840
Bully was legit though.
>>345434662
>Henry Rollins
Oh FUCK, I'll take 8 copies.
Henry Rollins is perhaps the most Alpha of all Alpha males.
>>345434840
I disagree. Redemption is plenty atmospheric and had solid gunplay. Even then, kind of hard to compare them when Gun was more spaghetti western in terms of action with its moderately stylized action.
There's no justice that we're never going to see another game set in the Ar Tonelico universe, because other than 3, they were all fucking amazing.
>>345434662

Same company made these games. And the team recently got together to make the proposed 4th game for the PS3, now for PS4. Which makes me hopeful the Steambot Chronicles sequel will get revived or remade.
>>345434945
Yeah, it was supposed to feature Pariah, kid of Elizabeth Green, first natural born Redlight carrier, with Alex overtaking Heller from inside. It was even rumored that Alex was the MC.
One of the creepiest expiriences I ever had with a game title, still somewhere in the top 5 of the spookiest games for me. The hide and seek elements, seeing how the faggots moved slowly near your hiding spot, the rush wenn running away after being spotted. Hard as nail puzzles (even more so in fs2) Good art and overall atmosphere. Weird as fuck story and the movie was okayish too, albeit a bit far away from the source material. Only rivaled by silent hill and i think the original creator made this game, so, kinda understandable
>>345435153
Weird how they only had like ONE of the VAs from the movie it was based on. Shame they haven't ever made another D game, though maybe if the new anime does well, it might.

>>345434824
Heh, funny thing is that I genuinely loved Angel of Darkness on launch on PC. Then I went and replayed the ps2 version last summer and I liked it even more, rare occurrence for a ps2 version to run just as good as on pc.
>>345434724
You wanna talk equally obscure and underrated? 90% of gameplay for Arkham Asylum was directly ripped from this, and nobody even played it.
>>345435224
Wow, they really regretted making Heller, didn't they? Wonder if Alex would have conveniently stopped being a beta shit and just reverted to the "I may eat and kill them, but I'm not about to wipe out all humans"
GTA clone, or something more. Found in a bargain bin, this game is worth it.
>>345435308
Batman Begins didn't exactly invent the template for what a Batman game should be like (mix of stealth and beat em up action), and games like Vengeance did a lot of the same way before.
>>345435225
Tried playing the ps3 remake and it felt meh as fuck. I just can't get scared of japonese ghosts/zombies with white makeup.
>>345435225
The English dub was RE1 tier though. The sequel is better by default for allowing you to choose the original Japanese.
>>345435428
I dug it, but man did the combat drag at times. I recall getting stuck for an hour or so fighting in that house near the outskirts of the map. And the choices were pretty meh. Shame how Sleeping Dogs, despite at one point being forced into the True Crime franchise, could have had even deeper choices before ultimately going full linear in the story.
>>345435461
You mean Blood Curse? That one sucked. It casualized everything and removed most of what made the original so great.
>>345434283
>RROD
>>345435517
That reminds me, does the PS4 version of Siren still use the shitty British voices? OR did they wise up and use the original Jap VAs?
>>345435225
the first game was okay at best for me due to how frustrating the hidden level requirements got, and that fucking mission where you're the little girl in the school and the shibito are actively hunting for you,
but Forbidden Siren 2 is hands down my favorite horror game ever
