Brute Force for xbox.

I am aware of that. But heck, Ninja-Bread Man certainly isn't a game many people have played!! /yes/

After playing it myself.. I have seen why..

Baroque IMO was overlooked and if it did get attention it was underrated.


The lost in blue series as well.

fucking vanquish
short, sweet, full badass

The gameplay of baroque is kind of crappy, however the soundtrack is one of those soundtracks where you go HOLY SHIT this is PERFECT and wish the game would have been really well done so that people could hear its awesome music.

I mean look:

I'm rather surprised that no one has mentioned God Hand yet. What is God Hand you ask?

Was such a great game, but obviously too adult for the Wii.

It would have been better if it had a better sound-track too... I mean come on.. Rap music? BLEGHHH!!!!!!

Wasn't that the game that went into the gamers guiness world record book for the most swearing (mainly uses of the f word) in it? I was like woahhh that's on wii?

I thought that was House of the Dead: Overkill.

All Custom Robo games.

I do think the gameplay can be bland. most people i talk to about this game hate the diffculty level of it which i can understand even though i consider this game a gem. Its honestly the hardest game ive ever played even demon souls never pissed me off as bad as Baroque. Yeah the music in this game is awesome it fits the emood of the game perfectly .

Almost all of Y's games were released in the West multiple times on multiple platforms. And sold well on all of them pretty much. So not really overlooked at all anywhere.

I think only the people who lived through the time of the original turbografix and sega Ys games that did really well would regard it as popular. I only heard about it in about the last two years, and don't know anyone personally who has played anything from the series.

OMFG!! If u want to talk about some great old games, dat Turb Grafix 16 had some extremely good titles for its' time. Some of them are available on the Wii Shop channel too. I loved the pinball game "Devil's Crush" on that system. I still have my TG16, w a shitass ton of games.... somewhere.

Games that I loved over the years, may or may not fall into the category/consideration of "Overlooked", but:

X-Com: UFO Defense- Love this game, still play it from time to time.

Genji: Dawn of the Samurai- (PS2) Beautiful graphics, decent story, fun as chit gameplay, high replay value.

Onimusha- All of them were pretty good, decently challenging too,

Suikoden-(PS1) It's one of those RPG's I'll never forget. The music was pretty good too.

Beyond the Beyond- (PS1) One of the hardest RPG's I've ever conquered. Very fun tho.

EVO- (OG NES) This was an evolution based RPG where you used your xp points to evolve from a tiny minnow all the way to a predatory land beast. Super fun back in the day.

Marble Madness- (OG NES) Alot of you gamers 25yoa+ will definetly remember this game. You throw the controllers at the TV too?

Arkanoid- (OG NES) This was the OG brickbuster game that is on nearly everyone's cellphone nowadays.

General Chaos- (OG Sega Genesis) Fun little RTS game with differing soldier classes and a map thats almost too small to play on.

Persona: Revelations- (PS1) Pretty in-depth multi-layered rpg. Never beat it, but invested plenty of hours in it.

Journeyman Project: Turbo- (PC) This game came with some PCs sold in the late 90's. Really fun time traveling, puzzle solving game. I can still hear the music and sounds from this game in muh haid.

Full Throttle- (PC) "Somebody took my Keys........I don't like that..." Point and Click comedy/adventure game that is absolutely hilarious.

System Shock 2- (PC) One of my personal favorites, and personal claims to fame. I made this game work on Win XP MF'ers!!! One of the best Survival Horror RPG/FPS games evar!! The grafix aren't terrible either (Released in 1998). Oh and NB4 Deadspace.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl- (PC) God I loved this FPS. Just an absolutely epic physics engine, decent story, sneaky-ass enemies, and an excellent experience all around.

^

I agree with Genji and Onimusha.

Though might I add.. Genji was horribly short... I could speed run it in just over an hour... Still, amazing game!

I agree. It could have used alot more content.

Can't believe I forgot one of my favorites:

Samurai Western- Great little PS2 game that is mad addictive and an excercise in reflexes.

I found it easy...get the 9 attack sword and instakill everything, game over.

Demon souls is definitely harder.

I've gotten Virtual-On Cyber Troopers (1996) to work on windows 7 :P

oh and i add that to another overlooked game. It has one of the best true 3-d fight systems in any fighter. (Not pseudo 3-d like soul calibur)

Vortiene:

Nice! And who doesnt love Soul Calibur. I cant tell you how many hours I've logged into the first 3 of that series. Hopefully there will be one for the WiiU, w online play.

i like soul calibur a lot (probably my fave fighting game after virtual on) it's just not true 3-d vectored fighting

...

How is SoulCalibur overlooked?

I just found my Custom Robo Arena for the ds the other month and it is such a nostalgia trip.
and my friend has the Gamecube version that we play all the time.

we didnt say that if you reread, we were just talking about it in comparison to the arena fighting style of virtual-on.

Virtual on is something that i always wanted to see come back. They dont even make games in the arena style anymore the last game i could think of would be Gotcha Force which was also a good and overlooked game.

Never even knew that, sadly i dont have a xbox. i just play it on my dreamcast. Hopefully they'll put it on PSN someday.

I've never even heard of Virtual-On. (Watches Youtube Gameplay Vid)

That game looks fun as shit!! I'm with you on that being a true 3-D fighter. It kinda looks like a fusion of Armored Core and Virtua Fighter.

Might have to give that one a go in the future.
