Games no one but you seem to like

[Panzermanathod]

Also, has anyone played Guitaroo Man? That one is definitely a cult classic.

That game seemed to be something not too many people heard of than something not too many people liked.

Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time - I really liked the story and level design, but the thing that turns all of my friends down is the combat mode which is understandably bad
Ecco the Dolphin series - Most people get frustrated at the difficulty
Super Mario Sunshine - I don't really know why, but I enjoyed it while everyone else I know hates it

 

[NerdyMunk]

flOw, Flower, and PixelJunk Eden.

 

[Shà nwà ng]

Slave Zero, Lost Kingdoms II.

 

[Bokracroc]

Condemned 2: Bloodshot over here man, it's so good, but everyone just shuns it. Too graphic maybe?

Depends, it's just so plain silly it alienated the fans of the first one. It's still rather good but dude, WTF? Super screaming powers? Super screaming cult that's controlling the world? WTF is this shit?

 

[Marticus]

Crysis, Mirrors Edge, Carmageddon, Synergy

 

[Albino-Kitsune]

Harvest Moon and all of it's other titles, even the Rune Factory strain.

Love them. Can't help it. Absolutely love Back To Nature, the Harvest Moon title for the PS1. XP

Oh man, I miss Harvest Moon so much. I haven't played that in a long time. :{

As for me... I love the odd Zelda games like Majora's Mask and Wind Waker.
Oh, and of course the Warcraft series, including WoW. :U

 

[Laze]

Baroque and Pinball Of The Dead.

 

[Bokracroc]

The only Harvest Moon I could enjoy with the SNES one which I own.

 

[~secret~]

Alien Soldier for the megadrive. I've never met another person who loves this game as much as I do, probably because of the insane difficulty.

 

[Riptor]

In a Mugen forum I go to people who like Mortal Kombat are a minority. And I'm a worse chase because I actually liked the games, and the blood was always secondary to me.

Back when I was a kid it wasn't about fatalities. I liked the games themselves (except Genesis MK3. Bleh) I'll admit that I didn't play much of the newer games (MK and DA), but I liked those too.

Actually, same here. The only MK games I didn't like were 3/UMK3/Trilogy and Armageddon.

And Aero the Acrobat. Yes, it was a Sonic ripoff, I won't deny that. But, it was a very well done ripoff. At the very least, it was way better than Bubsy and Awesome Possum.

Oh man, I miss Harvest Moon so much. I haven't played that in a long time. :{

Harvest Moon: Back to nature was the shit! Damn it, I'm really missing that game now, x3

 

[Adrimor]

EDIT: quotes in the wrong thread...rrr...

Dark Sector, TimeShift, Prey, Two Worlds.

Didn't seem like many people liked them, but I had fun with them.

I like Dark Sector.

I'll throw in Killer7, Soul Reaver's block puzzles, Quest RPG, The Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy VIII, Blood Will Tell, Mega Man Battle Network 2, Revelations: Persona, Breath of Fire II, annnd...'s about all I can think of, for now.

This is the complete inverse of the thread's question, but this is as good a place as any to say that I seem to be the only person who doesn't give half a damn about Team Fortress 2.

Nah, I'm with you on this.
At the very least, as long as all the furries love it, I refuse to play =P
Ditto L4D, though that also costs twice as much...

Also only tangentially related, does anybody else here love Half-Life 2 but think the first one was shit?

Dark Cloud 2. Kicks the ass Completely out of any FF Or KH Game I've ever played.
(I played all of KH FYI ;D)

Ack, I forgot the first Dark Cloud! DC2 is pretty cool so far also.


Also adding The 7th Guest, SMT: Imagine, the Space Quest series, and Chaos Legion.

Goldeneye for N64

But didn't that win Game of the Year once?

 

[Sulfide]

But didn't that win Game of the Year once?

twice actually.

And I mean now. I still play it now. No one else does.

 

[Adrimor]

Hmm...yeah, I guess that would count, huh? If my obscure games count, your forgotten one probably would...

 

[JamestheDoc]

I absolutely loved Far Cry 2, yet people give me heat for liking it so.

Another one I rather enjoyed was Turok, yet I seemed to be the only one in my circle to enjoy it.

And yet another is COD:WaW. A lot of people put it down because it's WWII and by Treyarch, but they did a good job with it in my opinion. It's solid gameplay in the same format as Modern Warfare (which it's often compared to as inferior), the graphics are nice, and it's a nice, new, darker perspective on the war as well...

Soul Reaver's block puzzles,

The Legend of Dragoon,

Final Fantasy VIII,

Mega Man Battle Network 2,

Chaos Legion.

My main problem with SR's block puzzles was mainly the frequency of them. A lot of times I just skip over the Stone Glyph because I don't want to bother with that puzzle.

Not my favorite, but LoD was an RPG I enjoyed. Lavitz/Albert were my favorites.

FF8... bleh. Granted, I hear more people saying 9 was bad and that 8 was good. Personally, I used to like FF8, but then it just got annoying. On the other hand, I didn't get into FF9 at first but it's now my favorite FF game next to Tactics. Just Tactics. TA was shit. And I gave it 2 chances.

You could probably throw the Battle Network series in as a whole. Generally good series, though. Didn't like 4, however.

Never played Chaos Legion, but I didn't think it fell under the thread topic.

See, I loved the block puzzles. Unlike the combat, they actually required some skill and thought.

...I miss the ribbon ability, though. That could've been awesome as hell in SR2, but it never appeared after the first one ;~;

The Reaver puzzles in SR2 annoy the hell out of me, though x.x
Double that for the "carry this object" puzzles >_<#

Not my favorite, but LoD was an RPG I enjoyed. Lavitz/Albert were my favorites.

I liked the music and the combat, most of all. It was simplistic, don't get me wrong, but the Additions and the attack items gave you a reason to stay awake during the battles.

FF8... bleh. Granted, I hear more people saying 9 was bad and that 8 was good. Personally, I used to like FF8, but then it just got annoying. On the other hand, I didn't get into FF9 at first but it's now my favorite FF game next to Tactics. Just Tactics. TA was shit. And I gave it 2 chances.

Yeah--a lot of people either hate 8 and love 9 or vice versa.
My problem with 9 was that there was essentially no "hard" character development. Somebody once countered that with "Well, Squall goes through an entire game's worth of development in ten minutes"--but Zidane goes through ten minutes' worth of character development in the entire game. Plus, I didn't like how much it reminded me of DBZ and FF4, the latter of which was (in my opinion) vastly superior to everything after 6 and the former of which just got ridiculous before it was even half-finished.

But Freya turned me furry, so I can't hate FF9 on too much XD
Plus, at least it wasn't as sickeningly Hollywood as the next one...

I agree--TA is shit, but Tactics was the shit.

THERE WAS NO 4 >=[

Never played Chaos Legion, but I didn't think it fell under the thread topic.

Well, nobody I know likes it ^_^;
Though, to be fair, it's a video-game adaptation of a Japanese novel done with mediocre voice acting, a Sephiroth-lookalike villain, and DMC's basic combat formula, except with summoned demon/spirits instead of guns. So even if they had played it, it's safe to assume many people I know would dislike it.

 

[Panzermanathod]

Constrict just felt useless in SR. I mean, sure you can stun enemies if you could pull it off, but I found no real use in it.

As for the combat requiring no though... couldn't say that, especially before you get the reaver.

And I for one liked SR2's puzzles as a whole. Too bad the elemental reavers were, as I put it, "Keys you could stab people with". The only real useful one was wind considering it allowed you to go through the swamp easily.
=================

I loved LoD's combat system. To me, the only way to make it better is to be able to switch on the fly, or something. Not like Xenogears though. Not out of distaste, simply to keep it more unique.

=================

My only *real* beef with FF9 was trance. I liked the characters as a whole moer than the cast of FF8 (although Rinoa would rank higher on my non-specific scale than Garnett). In fact, the only characters in FF8 I really liked were Laguna and Rinoa.

I mean, I don't mind an introvert character much, but Squall kinda got annoying.

As for Freya... you'd hit it?


Well, I'd hit it.


Come on...


Let's hit it...


together.

4.5 is the new 4.

I didn't know what the general consensus was for Chaos Legion. However, the first PSM I bought had a CL video preview in it. I loved it so hard.

 

[Psi Xen]

I love Final Fantasy VIII. Way more than Final Fantasy VII. I don't know why, but the cartoonish models and the story is not doing it for me. And I spent forty dollars buying that game from eBay.

I might get to playing that again, but then again maybe not.

To contribute: I loved Nuclear Strike and Future Cop: L.A.P.D. when I still played the PSOne. But these games seemed to be left in the past.

They will be missed.

You kidding?
Get spear. Beat up enemy. Impale. Eat soul.

Now, when you got gang-attacked it was kinda annoying, but the enemies can't jump, for whatever reason, so you could just hop on something and feed safely from there in many cases.

And I for one liked SR2's puzzles as a whole. Too bad the elemental reavers were, as I put it, "Keys you could stab people with". The only real useful one was wind considering it allowed you to go through the swamp easily.

Yeah, though I did like to have light with me every so often.

YES.

See...I HATED Rinoa, but I liked pretty much everyone else.
Except Ultimecia. She was lame...
Still, at least she didn't just come outta nowhere at the last minute like Necron >_<

As for Freya... you'd hit it?

Dude, I'd tap that like an EVH solo.*

* I really need to come up with a better euphemism...I'm sick of this one...

4.5 is the new 4.

Buh?

I didn't know what the general consensus was for Chaos Legion. However, the first PSM I bought had a CL video preview in it. I loved it so hard.

Hahaha, that's awesome.
The first (and only) issue of a gaming magazine I ever bought had a mini-FAQ for it. Also one for Eternal Darkness and one for Silent Hill 3.


...I should probably add Boktai 1 and 2 to my list, too, huh?

Rockman.EXE 4.5 Real operation

Don't mind the video maker's intro, the fight itself is rather good.

It was different from most of the others as your Navi was near completely automated (although you get to alter how close he/she should get to an enemy and have them use chips).
