gaming Games that don't get a lot of attention.

[Cloud Flash 5]

I spend most of my days playing countless Versus matches on Advance Wars, which not many were into. My most fond memories of games are the old GBA ones and such, and so I still play them to no end!

 

I dunno, there's lots of series that don't get enough recognition. Some off the top of my head:

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R is my favorite FPS series, Metroid is my favorite Nintendo series and it doesn't get as much attention as it should IMO, Total Annihilation is an amazing old RTS that I still play at least once a day, same with Dark Colony. (Another old RTS that I found amazing, but never went anywhere. Plus it's getting harder and harder to play comfortably on my computer considering it hasn't aged well from a technical standpoint. ) I could go on and on about great, obscure games that I've had the privilege of playing!

Phantasy Star Online is an amazing game. The levels and enemies are interesting, as is the music. Plus, the different classes of characters and the vast array of weapons allows for some really fun gameplay. Plus, when you beat a boss, you just feel good about it.

 

I almost forgot to mention. Skies of Arcadia Legends. Its for the Sega Genesis, and for the gamecube. It is by far one of the best RPG games I have ever played. The battle style is really fun to use, and as you get stronger and better at the game, it becomes addicting to play. I have played and beaten that game so many times, that I wore out my copy of it. I actually got to the point to where I grinded my characters so much, that I could kill the last boss in 3 turns. But, the game is in no way shape or form easy, I just happened to know a trick to buy a bunch of items that increased my main characters attack, so I would basically do max damage with every attack that I did. All in all, a super fun game. Plus, the story is better than any final fantasy game story.

Paraworld

Rise of Legends

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Dark Sector

 

I have never played against more than two people in these games. They're all fun, but most had next to no fanfair.

banjo kazooie, starfox adventures, paper mario, kirby, and pretty much animal crossing

Jolly Rover is a pretty cool point and click adventure game that didn't get a whole lot of attention as far as I know.

i think that its reputation has grown thanks to IndieRoyal.

Well the most underrated game i know is the Klonoa series, particuarly the second one. It's a love letter to anyone who loves retro games and has an inner child with a sense of adventure. That and he's incredibly cute.

[Sepia-chan 495]

I believe the Megaman franchise is somewhat overlooked by many gamers, but it's gotten a bit more popular with MM9 and 10.

[Discovery Dream 592]

Eversion. It's an indie game that can be bought on Steam and it's creepy as buck, but that's why I love it. It's so macabre and disturbing and I keep coming back.

[DrOphthalmos 497]

How about Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines?

 

The game was a bit of a mess at launch, but a combination of official and unofficial patches helped to deal with that.

 

I loved that game though the lack of online multiplayer was a big hindrance to me since I used the previous Vampire game (Vampire the Masquerade Redemption) to play the table top version with online friends.

 

I miss pissed-off Christof.

I know 'Blooldlines' only through Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, but I'd like to play it. Vampires are cool.

[DrOphthalmos 497]

I never hear anyone talk about Final Fantasy Tactics.... it's a fun game. but I don't know if it's underated.

 

FFT is alright, but for the masters of strategy RPGs look not to Square Enix but to Nippon Ichi.

 

La Pucelle was pure win - funny story, great strategy RPG elements.

 

 

But it only gets better! NIS then went on to make the Disgaea series. I've loved every single one of them! 4 came out not too long ago but it was overshadowed by the hype over Skyrim. Any one of the Disgaea games is worth checking out if you liked FFT.

 

For Disgaea 4, I always liked this trailer. It is in Japanese but it is easy enough to see all the wonderful over-the-top action you get in this game.

Both VtM games are awesome. Enjoy!

N (ninja) - an AWESOME platformer. try it yourself

I spent waaay too many hours on that game^^

[The Media Brony 50]

I thought Lost Odyssey was a fantastic old school RPG. But because it didn't have Final Fantasy in its name it didn't do as well as it deserved. I think it should have been the real FF 13.

I started playing Earthbound recently, great game it's so sad that it's not that well known and Gargoyles Quest for the Game Boy is pretty good (a little outdated though).

[prettycool 65]

5 Days a Stranger, Trilby's Notes, 6 Days a Sacrifice and 7 Days a Skeptic.

Those games are awesome and I reapeat AWESOME!!!

[Cherry Sparklepuff 9]

Cave Story

[Rainbow_Crash 92]

game of thrones genesis. Unexpectedly well designed mechanics wise game... too bad publisher though that "game of thrones" in the name would be the only thing that was needed to sell and therefore there is like 0 population online...

 

End of nations, interesting mmorts, could be fun when its complete

[prettycool 65]

Cave Story

 

I highly disagree with that statement. Cave Story gets a lot of attention. It even has Steam, Wii, DSI and 3DS ports Edited March 30, 2012 by SuperX46

[Arty the Musician 12]

Worms World Party and Hearts of Iron. It´s perfect strategy from 1933 - 1950 period, but, unfortunately, not well known...

Yet no one cares about the bad ports, I'm saying the original is underrated. Not only that, but you can't just go in public and ask "Do you know what Cave Story is?" Everyone would say no.

Worms World Party

Silly Musician, that's not how you spell Worms Armageddon.

 

Seriously though, WA still gets patches and such to this day, even though they're released very slowly.

[FedoraMemes 582]

Brutal Legend

The LEGO Games

 

That's all I got right now

[NyxTheShield 91]

Final Fantasy IX on comparison to the rest of the saga is pretty underrated, and is one of the best game of the saga.
