Title: Games that didn't get as much credit as they deserved
Post by: ○ Μαρία ○ on April 01, 2013, 01:30:33 AM

Basically just list games you think either could have done better, or didn't get as much credit as they probably should have. Maybe even name games that may not even been good per se, but have always just stuck with you:

Red Ninja: I remember when I was younger playing this game at my cousins house (this will pretty much go for all of the games I list) I thought the concept was pretty awesome, and I really liked the way the girl fought. It was one of those games I didn't really play that much, but it always stuck in my mind.

Okage:Shadow King: Oh my god, the first time I played this game I more or less was like "this is weird, and why did that kid sell his soul to the devil for a pig" so clearly I was a bit confused. After about a good 3 to 5 years I could not stop trying to figure out what the name of this stinking game was, and finally found it and watched game play of it. I actually really like the concept/storyline as well, (though it is said to get really difficult as it progresses) and I do feel it should have done better...

Nightshade: Now where the gameplay isn't really that amazing, I think the only reason I even remembered this game was because the ladies like hair tie things would leave a trail of red behind her, and I always thought that was the coolest shit. I still think the game looks fun, even if the controls make you want to commit genocide. I feel like they could have done better with it. It's apart of the Shinobi series, which I believe had other, more popular games, buuuut alas... this one didn't really live up to their name.

I'll have to think of some other ones but I remember distinctly enjoying Chameleon Twist for the n64.

I just remember liking it and enjoying some parts that didn't make sense at the time ;o
Essentially you have certain things you can eat, certain things that hurt you when the tongue touches.
You can also use the tongue to get around to certain ledges by grabbing onto stuph as you complete the stage.

I don't exactly remember the name or what it was, but there was this game for the PS2 / Xbox around 6 years ago. I remember playing it in Korea, it was probably the best RPG I've played to date.

KH COM/RECOM.

Everyone hated it for the card system, yet the card system made it pretty deep and challenging unlike most KH games where you just keep on mashing the X button. You had to actually think.
The story was pretty damn good, and it had the best/most interesting characters from the organization. (Way too blow you load on that Square leaving mostly dull guys in KH2 left alive.)
Only thing that sucked is it was literally the same damn worlds with the same damn sub plots for them... and you only got more story and a cutscene after being a level.

Not even nigga, I know a shit ton of people who loved COM (I liked it, not really loved, but), and the fact that even to this day it is still popular, says a lot. It may not appeal to some people, but it certainly got the credit it deserved.
I'm talking about games that people wouldn't even remember.
If you wanted to talk about Kingdom Hearts games that didn't get credit, let me tell you a little something about Coded, not re:Coded, Coded.
If re:coded hadn't come out, no one would have even thought for a second about it. Chain of Memories was popular even before the ps2 remake.

Meh, most people dis it, and a lot of KH "fans" skipped it even though it's canon and very important to the series.

Coded didn't get any credit because it didn't come to US. :p  Many wanted it to though.

I remember looking up the monthly things for it reading the summaries waiting for somethin to happen...

People diss a lot of the Kingdom Hearts games, because not every person likes every game. I know some people who hate KH2, which to me seems absurd. I personally don't like KH1 all that much, way may come off as strange to some people.  It's just s perspective thing. More people hated 358/2 days, rather than Chain of Memories, though.

Even if it wasn't in America, that's no excuse for the credit it didn't get. It was only on the mobile phone true, but the Kingdom Hearts Final Mixes were far more popular in comparison, and they weren't available in the US either? A lot of people just didn't like the game play/couldn't get a hold of it, so out of all the KH games, I think it was the one that got the least credit.
