>>1066861 What game is that?

>>1066854 I remember the too human shitshow when it released, but i had already shifted to playing 100% on PC at that point so i never played it. Doesn't seen like i missed a lot.

Only time I ever spent money on a game as a joke.

>>1066869 That game is too infamous to be here. People are still talking about it despite most people not having played it.

>>1066871 Red Faction Armaggedon barely anyone remembers and it did so poorly it sold like half of Red Faction, but plenty of people still remember the 2010 AVP game, it had some decent marketing behind it and sold alright. Just not COD numbers

>>1066877 The thread may as well be called memorable marketing campaigns really.

>>1066882 *Un-memorable.

>>1066882 Not really Some simply didn't have any, just word of mouth

>>1066885 Like I said, marketing campaigns.

>>1066854 Breed was rather cool, basically the first "Halo-killer" since it also went with the whole "started as a RTS became a FPS" thing and the Starship Troopers knock off setting was cool as well But once you actually play it you just know it wasn't a finished game, as a matter of fact it feels not far removed from FPS mods in Starcraft 2 in terms of gunplay and the missions are just about the most forgettable shit when it's not memorable because of how bad it is (forced stealth mission, enough said). Devastation had a neat concept (what if regular shooter but you get a respawn mechanic and sometimes your enemies do as well) but it just was not given the polish it deserved. That laser sniper rifle was made of pure sex though. >>1066871 Fucking everybody raves on about Guerilla but honestly it falls into every single traps of a mediocre open world game and besides the limited destructibles it's just boring, whereas Armageddon is more in line with the original, an okayish shooter with neat gimmicks it just really wasn't a time where such a game could be successful anymore.

Remember that Mother 4 fan game that's been in development for god knows how long. Still little to no news on it. Last original post was 6 months ago and it was just a comic strip that supposedly tied to the game somehow.

>>1066903 >TimeShift I thought I remembered that one, but then I realized I was thinking of Haze.

The hype surrounding this game vs the total lack of discussion less than a month after launch was very funny to see. To this day I do not understand why so many people, including anons here, were so excited for this turd. >>1066870 Its use of jigsaw pieces and legos, its emphasis on childhood, it's like Autism Speaks made it. This is such an "autism parent" ass game lmao, actual autistic people hate this kind of media.

>>1066903 Guerrila was a pre Ubishit Open World so the game was mostly collectibles and the progression system was actually enjoyable (except for giving you the jetpack too late). It does get quite repetitive but it' still a physics sandbox so there's plenty of fun moments to fuck around with. Armaggedon flopped exactly because everyone complaijed that it was not Open World.

The Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy were some of my favorite childhood games, so I will never forget about this game. I did not play it on release, as I heard it wasn't all that good, and by then I had moved on, because of PoP 2008 and Assassin Creed killing the series. Several years later, I did play it on PC, it was ok, and I think it's better for the better that the series ended like this, instead of getting annual releases like AssCreed. Yes, I am aware of the 2D game that got released somewhat recently, but that is ok for me, it doesn't really affect the other games. There was also a cancelled 2010 game, called Redemption, and thankfully it died quickly, because it's quick death is the only redeeming fact about it.

>>1066861 Lost oddysey on Xbox 360 was good, i really need to setup Xenia to paly it again

>>1066903 Vietcong is well known in czech republic abd thereby slovakia too

One of the weirdest instances of forgotten games that comes to mind is that one time Ace Combat turned into Cowadoody.

>>1066854 >Post vidya barely anyone remembers Part of the problem with making such a demand is that it depends upon how "obscure" of a game you want to mention. <For example, I unironically own all these games, and have never seen anyone ever talk about them. >>1066903 >TimeShift >>1066930 >Haze >>1066965 >The Forgotten Sands You fags have to do better than that than to list games that I actually own.

>>1066980 >Cubic Ninja Let's be honest, most people who owned that game, was just to use the exploit in order to install pirated software on the 3DS.

>>1066976 Nothing weird about it post 2007 7th Gen was fucking miserable with every game in every genre wanting to be COD, Gear or Halo.

>>1066950 People liked Terraria. This promised to be Terraria, but in space. Then they fucked it up.

>>1066998 >People liked Terraria. This promised to be Terraria, but in space. Then they fucked it up. Not even the first time that happened

>>1066871 Armageddon might have been one of the worst ideas for a sequel. Take everything people loved about the previous game and just fucking get rid of it and fight monsters in some fucking tunnels. Fucking genious.

>>1067190 Well I remember a couple of characters from this game.

>>1067191 Plural?

>>1067192 The Potato was also a character. I'm not sure if she actually made it in or not but reddit submitted her. And then they abandoned her. And /v/ adopted her.

>>1066980 Own any of these?

>>1067374 Yes, Septerra Core

>>1067374 I've wanted to get Odama for a long time. I regret not getting it long ago when I saw it in the store.

>>1067203 Ah, didn't realize she was from the game too.

>>1066863 Proud owner of this game on steam On my last Steam account, I also owned Happy Tree Friends False Alarm which was only available for about two months. Never heard a peep about it since it went off the store, but to be fair the game was forgettable.

>>1066854 Did anyone play the game with the "I Love My Food" song?

>>1066854 Too Human has gone from being a notorious clusterfuck to being posted in an obscure game thread? >>1066903 >Timeshift >Vietcong I remember both of these, especially Timeshift because it was a popular answer to "the Wii has no shooters" in ye olden days of console wars and Vietcong because there was moralfagging about it. >>1066930 >Piss Filter: The Game Ugh. >>1067374 >Odama Played it at a friend's house, we got yelled at for yelling at the game and his mom didn't accept the excuse that that was what you were supposed to do.

>>1067524 > Timeshift because it was a popular answer to "the Wii has no shooters" But Timeshift isn't on the Wii?

>>1067527 Ah fuck me you're right. I was thinking of Conduit. I suck dicks, ignore my post.

>>1067524 >Notorious Maybe in thr US

Remember when RTS as a genre existed with more than 2 games a year, and they act least tried to innovate between them with at least a new gimmick? All that's left now are supreme commander clones, starcraft, and maybe company of heroes if you squint. Still, this is a boomer thread. Any game older than 15 years is almost guaranteed to be in the "barely anyone remembers" list.

>>1067527 >>1067528 >The Conduit Played and beat that, still need to play the sequel >>1067536 >Rise of Legends Didn't Sseth do a review of that?

>>1067548 >Didn't Sseth do a review of that? Yeah.

>>1066854 Anybody remember these? Don't think I've ever heard anybody else talk about these,

No relation to the film. This was the predecessor to Xanadu, this was the game that led to Ys and Zelda. A game that was extremely important and influential, yet is completely unremembered today. Ultima, Rogue, and Wizardry all got their roses, but Dragon Slayer remains obscure. Likely forgotten as unlike other Japanese CRPGs from the early-to-mid 80s, Dragon Slayer never got a Famicom or international release; mostly being ported to other Japanese computers. >>1067575 Every port of this game does something better than the others, so the best way to play it is some crazy concoction that merges different parts of them together. So I've heard, never played it personally.

>>1067559 Holy shit, I remember seeing General Chaos in a magazine as a kid and I really wanted to play it for many years but I never found it anywhere, eventually I kind of forgot about it. I should go find a rom and play it now after 30 years.

This was a pretty fun game at the time, Valve abandoned it almost instantly.

>>1066980 "Most obscure games you actually own (and maybe like)" would perhaps be a better variant of this thread. I'll list a couple that I have and like. >Jersey Devil I've tried to get people to play it, but they all complain about the controls. I think the issue is that people expect the glide to feel like Spyro, and let you go far. The glide really doesn't give you much distance, and is instead used mostly for just a slight variant to your jump that makes the platforming more complex. Otherwise it's a somewhat standard playing 3D platformer of the era, but I like that genre. Bit of a mix between Mario 64's more open design and Crash Bandicoot's more linear design. And I love the halloween aesthetic. >Tobal No. 1 I know it got a sequel in Japan, but the only times I've heard anyone talk about it in English is to mention that it came with a demo of Final Fantasy VII. I never liked Final Fantasy, but I loved Tobal since it first released. The controls are a bit weird, the circle button isn't used at all, for some reason, but that didn't hurt the fun for me. What helped the fun significantly was the Quest Mode, where you do dungeon crawling with light RPG elements, with fighting game combat, of ccourse. Neat concept, and I guess it did better in Japan, but since nobody gives a flying fuck about it outside Japan, I think it's relevant to this thread. Also, Akira Toriyama did the character designs, and the American instruction booklet tries to advertise DBZ as being from the maker of this game, rather than the other way around. That's pretty funny. I did already like DBZ though so I just thought it was cool. >>1067559 Shove It is one of the best Boxxle clones (or ports?) of the time. And there were many. And there is a dedicated subculture of old school Sega fans who don't even like Sonic, and are instead all about games like Pat Riley Basketball. The other two are pretty damn obscure, though.

>>Still, this is a boomer thread. Any game older than 15 years is almost guaranteed to be in the "barely anyone remembers" list. While this is unfortunately true, if we used your cutoff, the thread would be filled with nothing but Wii/3DS shovelware or downloadable games nobody's even heard of. Anyway, seeing Starlancer mentioned made me think of these.

What was that german game where you play some chick who catches fairies and does pokemon battles with them? Ancient 2000s game I believe

Sequel when?

>>1067657 Never (makes James Cameron and his pandora avatar films look bad)

A quite fun vehicular combat racer from early in the ps2's lifetime. It took ages for me to realize the name of the game, for a while I was quite convinced it was a hot wheels game.

>>1067658 Uuuuhm what do you mean?? The feline alien savages fighting human mining colonists in THIS game are not BLUE so it's nothing like Avatar!

>>1067653 Zanzarah?

>>1067653 I think you are talking about Zanzarah. >>997644

>>1067674 >>1067703 Yes that's the one. Didn't know the thread was still up lmao. I liked how you quake arena the other goblinoids with your goblinoid (but with magic) Pic only sort of related: best 2d cuhrazy fighter game with fairies

>>1066924 >it'll be out when it's ready So never? Might as well wait for Reggie Fils-Aime to announce a Mother 3 remake for the Switch 2.

>>1067442 Didn't even know Universe at War was on Steam!

>>1068810 It ain't anymore. Got taken down in 2009 I think.

>>1066854 Doubt anyone remember this one. Shit graphics, shit controls, shit AI (that just aimbots you in the head on second and third tournament), but music and map design was (mostly) top notch. A bit sad that i couldn't play even lan matches cause everyone liked CS and Dota more

A very obscure one. I wonder if anybody here can even recognize this just based on a screenshot.

>>1069032 Drakensang is not obscure in Germany.

>Neverdead >Literally dead on arrival

>>1068908 yeah, but I didn't know he had been there at all since it was also ridden with GFLW

>>1069055 I still remember that trailer running at like 10 FPS

>>1069037 I know it won GOTY there, but I don't think it's known outside DACH nations. >>1069055 Konami published a bunch of completely unremembered games throughout that period. Here are a few others. >>1069059 I still see #3 brought up among PS2 enthusiasts, so it's at least known among them.

And today, Konami can publish some real obscure trash. Here's a game I bet nobody on this board has ever heard of. It doesn't even have 100 reviews on Steam. Great marketing from Konami there.

Remember these "massive" cross-media franchises?

>>1070441 I liked the defiance tv show and viva pinata was a fun little game.

>>1070446 >Complete story >You are unable to use your party afterwards outside multiplayer I wish somebody had told me.

>>1070441 Remember this one?

>>1075263 Not really that obscure or forgotten. The Xeno series still exists, Kosmos shows up in tie in media all the time, and they've been heavily hinting at bringing Saga specific back.

>>1075263 Have some music from a successful cross-media franchise.

>>1075279 Outside Japan I don't think many people even remember Xenosaga >>1075283 >first file Ah, nostalgia!

>>1075286 >Outside Japan I don't think many people even remember Xenosaga Most people who are into the Xeno franchise are at least aware of it if not actually played it. I mean most of those people are weebs, sure, but it's not nearly as forgotten or abandoned as most of the stuff in this thread.

>>1075289 That from SRW?

>>1075290 I think Project X Zone.

>>1075293 Thanks, knew it was Banpresto

>>1067536 >Impossible Creatures Memorable because it's the predecessor to Dawn of War (and they use the same engine)

Never once seen anyone talk about headhunter.

>>1078440 See >>1069059

I really wish this game was remembered more and it got a proper sequel that isn't mobile trash

>>1066924 How long was that in development for, 15 years? Did they get the memo that Mother is no longer the hipster aesthetic of choice anymore?

>>1078592 Mighty number who?

>>1078591 I remember a time about 10 years ago when they were ready to release "Mother 4" as an open beta, they just had to apply some finishing touched 10+ years later and they have nothing to show for the work except a DMCA and a lot of pissed off fans who have already forgotten about the shitshow.

>>1078591 I really enjoyed Dead Island and ended up replaying it a bunch of times. A lot of people were disappointed with it because they got overhyped by the CGI trailer (which I never saw). It’s a pretty average game, nothing amazing, but for a while, it was the only one like it.

>>1066980 >Dropship I raise you: DropTeam

I present you Recoil. A tank game from the 90's. Man I miss SP tank games so much bros

>>1078698 I just had a quick look on 4/vg/ and the answer is yes. Katawa Shoujo General #4023 haven't checked the webring.

This shit was shilled super hard back in the day. It was supposed to make you want to buy the console and enjoy the power of the sixasis but no one did.

>>1078742 I remember playing the fuck out of some demo for this

>>1078726 that one was rad

I love this game. Had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

Is posting streamer bait cheating?

the only non nintendo game that used the wiimote correctly.

>>1079218 This game was such a fucking disappointment as a follow-up to one of the best games of the 2010s. This and Dragon's Dogma 2 were the first times in years I felt genuinely burnt by games. There's a review that puts it really well: "Frostpunk 2 is not the sequel I expected, or wanted." The resource management, the brutal struggle from the first game, it's all gone. Anything you may have actually enjoyed about Frostpunk isn't present in 2. It's not even a bad game, but it's not Frostpunk - it's a kind of okay politics-based management game you'd get 90% off during a Steam sale and enjoy for a few days. Had 11Bit called it something like Frostpolitik and marketed it as a spinoff, I think the reaction would have been much more positive.

>>1080242 I know of that game because it's caused the PCSX2 devs PTSD with just how utterly baffling the fact that it runs on actual hardware without breaking is.

>>1080242 Oh damn, haven't thought about this in years. Had no right to be as good as it was for a Playmobil game. >>1080253 Why's that, the large world? Because I can think of PS2 games much larger, like Just Cause. Or is the PS2 port just really weirdly made and broken Hype isn't anything to graphically or technically impressive from what I recall.

>>1080253 What's baffling is that this was by Ubisoft Montreal, was on PC first in 1999 and wasn't dogshit. It's a really fun 3D Zelda clone. The PS2 port took a year and a half to make, must have been hell considering how long that was for a port at that time.

>>1080269 >Or is the PS2 port just really weirdly made and broken Well it works when played on PS2 (with the real disk iirc OPL / ESR have freezes), but because it's an early title it's doing some very sketchy stuff that theoretically should not work but do because PS2 programming is an arcane abyss of forbidden knowledge

>>1080273 >Well it works when played on PS2 Isn't that true for all PS2 games, or is there something I am missing?

>>1080291 >Isn't that true for all PS2 games, or is there something I am missing? Some early games don't play nice on the latter model PS2, for similar reasons why Hype is really hard to emulate properly, they didn't change much between the fat and the slim but even that small difference is enough to break a few games and PCSX2 does a lot of thing differently from the real deal.

>>1067203 Did Reddit have an intended original personality for her before >we made her canonically retarded?

I can see why nobody remembers it. It wasn't a great game by any measure, but for what it was, I thought it came together well and I liked Kit Ballard as a character.

>>1080449 If the personality was made by reddit she was always retarded.

>>1084048 It was pretty okay, I might just go back and 100% it someday.

>>1066854 I completed Too Human as the defender class, weird controls but I loved it. >>1066863 Dead from Balance issues, Used to get steamrolled by the hierarchy and then it was impossible to win as them next patch. >>1066871 Played the demo, should play the rest, actual unique weapons. bought the dlc for it before the xbox 360 shutdown >>1067536 Played the shit out of act of war. >>1067575 Played the demo, it's alright. >>1070446 Need to get the mod that lets you past level 9 iirc on a pirated copy. >>1070441 I'd go straight to trouble in paradise for viva pinata, the map is twice the size so you don't have to evict your favorite critters every 5 seconds.

A few that I remember from picking up in various PC shops around here in the late 90s to early 2000s.

>>1093644 Good shit anon >Gunman Chronicles I need to play that shit

>>1078742 I mainly remember it for its E3 2006 "demonstration" at the Sony press conference meant to show off the Sixaxis but the devs had gotten the Sixaxis devkit like a week earlier and it barely worked. >>1093698 It's on the GoldSrc engine so plays similarly to Half-Life, very much its own vibe setting and arsenal wise though

>>1093846 I'm aware Been on a HL binge with a replay of They Hunger, Brutal Half Life v3 and Delta Particles. Guess I'll go for this next.

>>1067634 I liked Yager, but I don't get what were they thinking with the limited continuations (3, or 9 if you used a cheats), the sparse checkpoints and the difficulty spikes. Maybe it's not as hard as I remember, but I was 12 so...

>>1079248 > We'll never get Frostpunk 3 that returns to the roots but gives us modding or even a Frostpunk 1 remastered with mod tools because the team already bloated 5 times over and is now incapable of doing the simplest things

One I've never seen mentioned anywhere, Pocket Bomberman for the Gameboy. It's somewhat of a 2D platformer though rather than linear sidescrolling levels, you had to go around and destroy all enemies in each level and then return to the entrance to complete it, so there was some verticality and backtracking around.

Anyone remember The Movies? >>1078839 Great, I'm not the only one who played this game.

>>1096342 Hell yeah, great game. I think I might have been the only person that liked the simulation part more than the moviemaking part, everyone else seems to have spent their time making short films. It was ripe for a sequel expanding on everything but Lionhead's long gone now.

>>1096385 I actually wanted both, the simulation and the movie making, to do some actual studio stuff. Hell, if a game deserves to be online it should be this, making everyone have studios and make their movies while gaining prices for best movie and other thigs like that.

>>1066871 both were shit im afraid

>>1096342 Attention, an actor is needed in the casting office.

what a wild thread, I have really fond memories from my childhood of most of the games posted here used to play a lot of Mobile Forces against bots back when my parents didn't have internet set up yet, never seen anyone ever mention it online but apparently it still has active servers, crazy!

Great brawler, could use a modern entry.

>>1067653 There's some russian chick that's remaking the game in Unity. https://www.youtube.com/@ZanzarahbyJW/videos

>>1067575 It was so fucking cool The weapons The dismemberment The spooky zombots The fun multiplayer

>>1066976 Ace Combat players never forgot. The devs themselves admitted it was the wrong direction.

>>1066854 I've done as much as i can do.. for now that is. I have a categorical memory of early 2000s games in the obscure.

>>1066854 Wait i have more. This list will be long and will be a multiple post string, so enjoy. Maybe you'll find something you don't know about.

>>1177201 >>1177241 Continuing.

>>1177304 I remember owning Eden and not finishing it because I found it boring. I have an image of 4 people (soldiers?) in hazmat suits using an elevator, and that's about it. >>1093846 >>1093698 Gunman Chronicles is great except the ending. And it has robot tits, which is always appreciated.

Get on my level, zoomers.

You'll Cowards Don't Even Played DOS

>>1177891 One of my first posts on /v/ was to ask the name of it, lel

>>1066950 It was a simple time, the alpha build look extremely promising and the idea of exploring multiple planets sound awesome. Well, as soon as the beta with the story mode dropped we all knew what was coming. At least it got good smut mods in loverslab

Dead Man's Hand, an average Western FPS

>>1178395 That's it for now. I've tired myself out. I might return to adding onto what I've posted at a later date.

>>1069055 this game was legit great once you got the hang off it reviewers the lot of them were fucking dumbasses and pussies because they didnt take the time to figure out how to play it

>>1066861 This would be have been an absolute failure if this wasn't the first post.

>>1178542 >>1178724 Continuing

>>1178724 This was meant to be a killer app at the time wasn't it?

>>1186887 I think Microsoft still recognized it with backwards compat on Xbox series X. But now it's just a generic forgettable scifi shooter i suppose. Halo was their killer app. But it was killer app in the sense that Chris Roberts studio worked on it. Meaning that it carried that fame with it.

Remembered playing dragon rising on 360 when i was little and liking it somehow despite not knowing what to do Anyone recommending squad-based shooters like swat 4 or something like that?

>>1177684 Ruins of Myth Drannor is pretty well known among crpg fans for being one of the worst games in the genre. A friend of mine wouldn't play the original Path of Radiance because he thought it would be like RoMD.

>>1187574 >Ruins of Myth Drannor is pretty well known among crpg fans It's kind of rare for D&D licensed games to go unnoticed. You're right, and in that case it went unnoticed because it was lower quality. It's very hard to find games that RPG Codex haven't found either since they seem to be ahead of me on that.

>>1069059 Headhunter was good except for the bike part,I like Dawn of fate as a kid haven't played it since then

>>1075283 new .hack when?

>>1078742 warhawk was kino

I never hear any talk about Warbreeds, an RTS where you play as four different alien races. The main gimmick is that you can steal DNA from your enemies' corpses (provided they're fresh enough) and learn how to incorporate their weapons into your own troops - the weapons being actual biological appendages.

>>1188797 it was ahead of its time shame that sony botched their own launch of the console and shifted towards more western focused games they had some great early game ideas on the system that might have faired better if they hadnt

>>1185434 I like your posts this row of yours is the only one where I played all five, you managed to have at least one in all others that I've never heard of, really good stuff man have some slavic jank

A good while back on 4chan /v/, this small Japanese indie game got unprecedented amounts of love. Several continuous threads of people actually discussing the gameplay AND making original content. It got to the point that some anons actually contacted the dev and helped him shape it for the better, including improving the controls for one of the characters. I think in 2014/2015, a tsunami hit Japan, and we never heard from the dev again. He was working on three new characters, pushing the game engine he was using to its limit, but he went MIA and was never heard from again. The blog for the game was deleted earlier this year, so this game will never be completed. You had to be there. The game itself is pretty much a simplified Megaman game where you buy powerups instead of earn them from boss kills, but it was genuinely enjoyable. Easily enough content to feel like a full game, but it will always be an unfinished game.

Any remember?

>>1188723 >El matador Actually decent slowmo shooter for the cheap price you can find it, shame it's super broken on modern GPU and I'm not 100% a fix ever came out >Airblade Was on the demo disc of every launch PS2 in europe, it was pretty cool I guess but I was never good or enjoyed this kind of games >>1188184 >Fur Fighter It's one of those games I hate to hate but while it looks cool enough and has a decent concept the execution ends up meh and the game feels repetitive and boring before long. >>1188149 >Bet on Soldier Has one of the best shotgun in vidya history with the war shotgun (5 barrel 4gauge shells or bigger) >>1185434 >Will rock I can't believe it's not Serious Sam, greece edition >>1178073 >Chrome "I'm here to kick ass and steal your chromium and you're all out of chromium" >>1177684 >I.G.I 2 First person stealth never was a great idea imo, and the first game understood it better than this one, the save system was neat >>1177201 >Boiling point: Road to Hell STALKER before it was cool, never finished it maybe I should go back, especially now that I have the sequel as well.

>>1190883 Those are boys

artist colony: one of the best indie games before steam. sad it never made it there. you hire artists, and have them do one of three things, renovate the place, make art, rest. you can have a limited number of artists and limited number of art pieces per artist. you have to balance spending time on renovation and other things as renovation means using funds on rest instead making art, but also more expensive art. most art studios need to be renovated from ground up, I think only diesel and photography were available in a poor state from the get go, the rest were beyond reach. I think there were singing, acting and masonry. also there is renovating the non art facilities like fountains and flowerbeds, which help inspire artists and look nice on the screen, but are optional. most rest facilities also need to be upgraded. there is a murder mystery as a story but eh who cares. the paintings that get drawn in this game look really pretty. actually the character models look really pleasant too. even the black dudes. gamergate really mindbroke artsy type people. its such a stark contrast. sad that most games of this era of indies are either stuck on big fish games, or delisted everywhere and bastardized into a phone sequel. like another forgotten favorite of mine. supermarket mania 2. this game was the most fun lite management game I ever played.

>>1067374 >Lionheart I remember that because I had a pc magazin with an ad and a short preview of it in it and I thought man that looks cool but never played it.

>>1078839 What I remember about it >very small levels >2+ minutes loading times between each map >the murder scenes where you switch to the perspective of the victim while your MC stabs, stombs etc them to death. >very good looking models for characters

>>1069022 omg yes, I had that on a demo disc, it was only one level but the entire soundtrack so I ended up using it as a music player.

Both are bangers and I think I never heard anyone talk about them.

If you know, you know

>>1199595 can't take this seriously with Oni there

>>1066871 I have fond memories of AVP. Armageddon i didn't even finish. Also judging by the amount of replies and people i know who played AVP you are a retarded.

>>1070441 I honestly find it surprising how nobody talks about the Tak games considering 3 of them were made, sometimes I feel like I'm only person who knows of their existence.

>>1190968 hell yea jericho's one my guilty pleasures right next to daikatana, both are very similar if you think about it >travel thru various time periods (including medieval and greco-roman times) >leather clad sidekicks who somewhat react to commands >gotta keep em alive with some microing >melee katana that's serviceable >absolutely corny as fuck dialog used to make some fancy screens too, really nice looking atmosphere

>>1190968 I remember Undying and liked it more than Jericho, which i considered too flawed. I was going to list it earlier but I'm unsure of whether the game was considered obscure. It's probably not obscure for us older gamers because you can find quite a few reviews on GOG. Nosferatu Wrath of Malachi is probably more obscure than this series.

Some of my favorite western horror games may be considered obscure by today's metrics. Superseded by Condemned perhaps. And some people have ideas that action should be separated from horror and it's a divisive topic in general.

>>1190465 Speaking of slavjank: this game from commie land (Russia) is a confusing but interesting mess of a game. The firefights surprisingly feel quite engaging despite the very shoestring budget it was made on, because the enemies are strafing around the levels. I'm not calling it good by any reasonable standards at the same time. I think anyone actually talented in that tyrannical shithole of a country usually leaves it to make games in western studios.

Spent way too much time on this.

>>1208695 urban chaos was a blast

Another slavjank highlight, but this time from Poland. Apart of the same series of Soldier Elite posted in this thread. I'm not sure if i have to mention the most infamous game in that era: You are Empty. So I'll just get that name drop out of the way too.

There were a few more attempts in the genre of this era.

I really didn't expect Ross to cover Sabotain a couple of weeks back. So forgotten no more. Or at least until people forget again. It shares the same status of Vivisector now.

Just avoid the first one i suppose.

>>1209393 never played this one but I knew I heard the name from somewhere turns out I saw it when Strategy First got the rights to a bunch of these forgotten slav shooters and published them on steam last year, then I forgot about it till now

A few more for fun

>>1199881 >not liking Oni Its a classic, top tier.. wtf is wrong with you?

>>1209610 >find corpse >go touch it >WOOOOOOOP this game went crazy with its trippy visuals cancer to get running but it's worth it, still holds up huge recommend to everyone itt >>1212328 I'll get around to play this, the premise of mongols of all people winning ww1 is one of a kind what's up with the 2 versions with different titles? I always find it interesting how these threads are overwhelmingly 2000's FPS games and 7th gen third person action

>Slowly reading the thread to find new titles to try >>1066863 I need to finish this one day. Last time I stopped because I got a softlock glitch near the end of a long mission >>1067536 I always wanted to give Impossible creatures a go. That cover looked sick. >>1067559 General Chaos looks interesting. How's the gameplay? >>1070441 Dice had a game? And I remember the Viva Pinata show. It was cozy >>1078591 Dead Island is that one game you want to play when you come back home but forget about immediately when you do >>1177241 Evolva looks like an interesting game. How's the gameplay? >>1177362 I remember seeing Scrapland in a video once. Surprised how it didn't get popular with the ideas it had >>1177417 Area 51 was mediocre. The sequel was horrendous >>1178395 I would have bought a game with the name Zax back then >>1185087 I think Gore is still known. At least the cover art >>1186841 Harbinger was boring. Everything else about it was great but the game itself was boring

anyone remembers the secret world? >>1212751 >I-ninja hell yea, that's my childhood right there, along with Asterix & Obelix XXL

or hellgate london? I like how google immediately knows what I'm looking for if I search 'hellgate london gif'

>>1067374 i remember Odium, its called Gorky 17 in europe its a polish turn based tactics game thats incredibly hard, you play as some soldiers stuck in an area and fight monsters or mutants and Septerra Core, i dont remember much except that it was marketed as a JRPG not made in japan or something like that, there was a robot party member and a mechanic i dont remember more

>>1078591 mystery of the druids 2 is a real game? and you have a horny teenage jailbait as a partner?

>>1212286 >damnation played it was alright nothing too amazing but not a bad ride for what it was tbh wouldve liked to have seen a sequel to it actually fun fact: the same guy who was the lead game designer on uncharted 2 was also lead game designer on this game

>>1213603 I'm surprised that theres anons that dont recognize instantly the Honey Select 2 models.

>>1213260 >fighting in heels Dropped.

Oh yeah and i almost forgot this old timeless piece of crap, that should wrap everything up here i think.

>>1212579 >OG releases on PC in 2002 >Gets a PS2 port with a ton of fixes in 2004 with the subtitle World War Zero >PS2 port gets ported back to PC with more updates in 2005 3 different companies as well 90s and 2000s were wild for media

had so much fun in metal arms. there was a planned sequel but that got canned when the studio got bought out by blizzard. it was apparently meant to be a trilogy too.

Did anyone else besides me play Powerslide? >had drive anywhere car physics before anyone else. >Soundtrack was peak 90's industrial techno kino. >Online racing and the various game modes were really fun like ski jump and Fox and Hound.

Starfield before Starfield existed. It's certainly a very ambitious game, unfortunately not a very good one. By the same devs of Boiling Point, which I'd recommend that game over this one. Since it's fun jank, opposed to bad jank. I think we can definitely say Starfield is a better game than this game. Despite most people considering Starfield mediocre, our standards of what is mediocre has largely changed from what that was in the early to mid 2000s. Some people claim that our standards dropped but that's not true because if Bethesda released a game as buggy and broken as this then they'd be out of business since no one would tolerate it.

>>1220340 >kiss made a vidya Is it as boring and low effort as their music?

picrel only my aunt played ever I watched her sometimes, it was a hitman esque thing based on a tv show she liked maybe had kung fu, I'm not sure anymore, might install and check the game out other than my aunt I never met anybody who knew about it >>1226073 more like the daikatana guys made a kiss vidya eceleb made a vid on it recently too so it came out of obscurity, but he's shit at games and half the things he's bitching about are retarded I'd say there's some effort in it looks nice for the era, interesting designs, has plenty of fun moments, probably the best flamethrower in gaming, but I say daikatana is better with the 1.3 patch
