Hidden gems thread?

>>713565163
Crazy this got a PC port down the line. The only other 360 jank game I wish got ported is WET.

>>713564583 (OP)
This game is so fucking based but it was sent out to die. It was a PSP game that got localized in fucking 2015.

>>713564583 (OP)
Falcom never touched the Brandish series again after this remake failed to gain much momentum, kinda funny since roguelikes are everywhere these days.

>>713564583 (OP)
>>713565163
Actual hidden gems? Niice

>>713566352
it's not a roguelike

>>713564583 (OP)
>Cero B
Cero has changed to much over the years that the very same outfit Dela wears would be an automatic Cero C or Cero D these days.

is this a hidden gem? I don't hear anyone talk about it but I like it.

>>713566579
And thank God for that.

>>713566626
Yes, it's great, but you need to learn how to play it. Most of the videos I've seen of people playing it are just running along the ground without utilising the aerial mobility at all, when really if you're even touching the ground you're doing it wrong.

>>713566596
No it wouldn't and you're a retard falling for censors shifting the blame. The uncensored release of Fairy Tail was approved with a CERO B.

Not sure if it's that hidden, but definitely a gem if you can handle a little jank.

>>713564583 (OP)
I've never seen a Brandishfag talking good things about this remake, then again I never see any Brandishfags around at all.

>>713566769
The hardest part is actually getting a chance to play this game. Xemu sucks but it was more manageable on that than on my modded 360 where boosting causes the entire screen to go black. I honestly might get an original xbox or an xbox one just to play this game.

>>713564583 (OP)
it's gothic with a more generic fantasy paint job but the soul is still there.

>>713564583 (OP)

>>713566895
It's Brandish if the camera had smooth 3D movement. Make of that what you will.

>>713566869
>The uncensored release of Fairy Tail was approved with a CERO B.
What uncensored release? The upskirts never came back.

>>713566974
you could've stopped at
>it's gothic

>>713566973
Yeah it sucks that Gunvalkyrie was one of the only good Xbox games left that didn't get the backwards compatibility + digital release treatment on the Xbone / SeX.

>>713566895
>>713564583 (OP)
it's less obscure these days thanks to Deltarune

>>713564583 (OP)
wtf I had no idea this got a PSP port

>>713566164
>wet
same cd shop owner who sold me doa xtreme 2 refused to sell me wet cause the name was pornographic

>>713567017
The uncensored release that's on the disc before they censored it with a patch. If CERO was the one with a problem with it they would've demanded a recall.
Granblue Versus also had a CERO B rating and the devs for that explicitly said that the reason the censored outfits even became a thing was because the execs wanted to appeal to the west and the FGC.

>>713567148
ill never forget the faggot working at blockbuster who told my mom conkers bad fur day was M rated for sexual content

>Quake but with robots and uzis and shit
was kino

game good

>>713566291
The Brandish series only had one game localized in the west before, and it was only the SNES port of the first game, the fact the PSP remake got brought over at all, even if 6 full years after the original JP release is a miracle in itself.

>>713566791
Only good game posted ITT. Not a hidden gem though unless you were born or developed consciousness years after it's release.

it came out same time as god of war 2 and was overshadowed by it, but the gameplay was leagues better. sad that creative assembly didnt try another action game.

>hidden gem thread
>every game is more than a decade old

The best game ever made for the PS1. Better than FFVII, better than xenogears, better than MGS. Only the realest of real heads know what this is.

>>713567507
old game good new game bad. retard.

>>713566696
>>713567064
Please someone make a modern ripoff of this game.

>>713567606
you didn't have to sign your post, anon

>>713567245
>fag is angry because he wouldn't let a stranger corrupt his youth
typical tranny

>>713566974
Gothic is about dragons and Orcs, quite literally the most generic thing ever.
Risen has way more personality

>>713567507
There have been no good games made in the past 10 years.

So this is the "games only you played" thread?

>>713567507
Because there are no more AA/mid-budget games that can fly under the radar anymore.
Everything is either AAA shit everyone knows about, or bottom of the barrel indieslop where you feel like you're wading through shit to find anything decent.

>>713567660
he wants to keep it formal

Did someone say hidden gems?

>>713567507
so?

>>713567736
They still exist.

>>713567507
If you talk about a modern hidden gem you get called a shill.

>>713567732
It's a thread about gems, not turds.

>>713567892
ok shill

>>713567693
sorry you're a tranny fag I guess. good luck with that

>>713567892
trvke

Ghost in the Shell for the PS1. One of the rare games on the PS1 that has an option for widescreen. This game is easy as fuck but holy shit does it kick ass.

>>713567967
You never played it.

>>713567987
Why are you repeating what your father told you?

>>713568085
sorry your dad told you to become a tranny fag. good luck with that

So retarded that it comes back around full circle to being kino.
Played the whole series with a couple of buddies drunk as fuck and it was unironically one of the funnest times I've had with vidya in recent memory.

>>713568116
reported for being underage

Blood Will Tell / Dororo

It's kind of a proto-soulslike.

>>713568182
I thought v liked that

>>713564583 (OP)
Brandish is great. I do think the PSP version starts a little too easy but it's a good version of the game and the extra stuff is a nice bonus.

>>713564583 (OP)
Is brandish similar to ys?

>>713568113
you are a troon in denial

>>713568305
sorry that happened to you. good luck with that

>>713568305
you will never be a woman. kill yourself tranny faggot

>>713568343
>>713568405
transgenders in denial

was about to make a thread just discovered pic related. one of the best looking gamecube games ive ever seen. Its amazing cuz super mario sunshine looks totally ass in comparison

Yumia

>>713568530
good luck with your denial tranny

>>713568262
Both from Falcom but not really. Brandish is more like a grid based dungeon crawler meets action RPG, it's way more slow and methodical than Ys.

>>713568530
this is you within a year

>>713568610
stop grooming

>>713568712
cool projecting tranny

>>713568959
I don't take hormones. I'm defending myself from the trannies actually.

>>713568116
>So retarded that it comes back around full circle to being kino
Nope, I think you're just retarded.

>>713569062
was this meant for me? hi hello

>>713569069
And why are they trannies? Provide an actual thought out argument otherwise you're just a mentally ill tranny. Good luck.

>>713564583 (OP)

>>713569138
they/them/xir/xee whatever the fuck they want to be called got angry when i called them a tranny. I think they are probably trans and in denial.

>>713569195
>Provide an actual thought out argument otherwise you're just a mentally ill tranny. Good luck.
lol okay tranny, lay off the hormones

>>713564583 (OP)
I played this a few years ago and it was very fun.

>>713569195
>>713569243
can both of you retards fuck off and die in another thread

>>713569380
no

A rare Brandish thread? Where is the Brandish mobile game?! Ys? Come on Falcum!

>>713567368
>final boss dies from you dropping the macguffin

>>713569641
If only this thread were even half that cool.

>>713567487
funny how the dual blades are the best weapons and simultaneously the first ones you get.

Cho Ren Sha.

>>713566895
It's a good remake

>>713564583 (OP)
Falcom is retarded to not remake the rest of the games.

>>713566164
Didn't this game have bad frame rate on console ?
If is bad there it will be horrid on PC unless someone does a proper remake.

>>713567487
>the gameplay was leagues better
ehhh I wouldn't say it was better, but it was a fun little game. soundtrack was pretty good too.

>>713564583 (OP)
I am literally the only person on /v/ who has finished The Nightmare of Druaga

Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N.
Blast Works
Samidare
Meritous
The Void

Gladiux is never ever coming out, is it?

>>713574052
I'll play it, anything I should know before I do?

The real best Dreamcast shmups: Border Down and Psyvariar 2.

>>713566696
>>713567064
i remember this game. It was cool and weird. They even had a god that was modeled after Earthworm Jim

>>713567053
>>713566973
It did eventually. I bought a Series X mostly just for Gunvalkyrie.

I have fond memories of Metal Dungeon but everyone else who remembers it seem to hate it.

>>713574178
By performing some random/obscure actions you can unlock silver and gold chest on each floor. There is a guide on gamefaqs about how to get them:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/569405-the-nightmare-of-druaga/faqs/35036

>>713564583 (OP)
nothing by falcom is either hidden or a gem

>>713568550
does look pretty good, what is it?

>>713576054
Glad I asked, thanks anon

>>713575203
this game is fucking good

>>713574052
How is it? I played Tower of Druaga as a kid and it's easy to see how it basically paved the way for every video game ever. It's also retarded hard and cryptic and impossible to do without a guide. It Nightmare similar in "style" while not being retarded with secrets?

>>713566974
I remember being very fascinated by this game's tropical island aesthetics, it was janky but giga-soulful.

>>713568012
this game is really fun, they even got the same english voice actors as the first movie

>>713568550
>no salsa

based but also fuck you

>>713573982
what universe do you live in to think this is how computers work?

>>713575203
I only vaguely remember it, wasn't the combat entirely automated?

>>713565163
Based

GKUE9G in the filename is the game's ID, search it to find...
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Scaler

>>713577745
Like horses in a pipe

>>713568550
I'm guessing the Gamecube version is the superior version to play if I were to try this game out? Looks like a neat little generic platformer.

>>713566913
Now this is a fucking gem. Had so much fun playing with my older cousin and being the gunslinger.

>>713578248
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUye_wNUZ5M
looks like gamecube has slightly worse graphics than the other versions, most notably no bloom.

>>713567316
Absolutely loved this game. I created monsters and storylines with said monsters. Favorite mini games were the last trials where it was all combat

>>713578670
>that low ass model quality and jaggies on the ps2 due to a possible lowe res

Sure thing bud. Xbox > GC > PS2

test

>>713565163
It's fucking not lol

This game is pretty bad even if you like jank
But I'd say at least give it a try

>>713564583 (OP)

>>713579452
looks like it's just lower res with no AA, the model looks the same. low native res is a non issue when emulating, not sure why you'd care. the underlying asset quality matters the most.
looks best on PS2 honestly, the bloom looks weaker on xbox. but if the bloom doesn't upscale well then xbox should be decent too. gamecube is clearly lesser.
to be fair if you hate bloom then you might prefer gamecube on that basis. but it's clearly supposed to be part of the game's look.

>>713579878
We like bloom now?

>>713579848
i assume you mean the wii version? never seen anyone prefer the wii u version.

>>713579930
I thought it was wii, but I just did a search for rodea wii and got that. Don't remember the differences but yeah I guess I am suggesting the better of the two

>>713566626
Just tried it and yeah, people had a point when they said the controls fucking suck. When it works it's fine, but jesus christ it has bad japanese camera syndrome. Forced inverted, shoots up and down with no granularity, it's already got left and right turning on the left stick too, but if you try to turn with just the left stick it actually caps your turn and you stop. All this in a fucking flying game where half the enemies are on different verticality levels than you.
Frankly any game with forced inverted camera is already a little doodoo, but this is an achievement in bad cameras.

>>713579929
i liked it in late 6th gen games like this that weren't also brown, like psychonauts and the spongebob movie game.

thread is titled hidden gem thread not hidden shit thread. start posting gems already.

>>713580049
the hard truth is that if a game was really a gem, it would be well known. you're going to get recommended a bunch of 6/10 games if you ask for hidden gems.

Fun around the world Pokemon like 2d rpg racing game.

from the developers of earth defense force

>>713580104
this. popularity = quality.

>>713580212
That's RAD and it is rad. I remember seeing it in the store decades ago and never heard anyone talk or know about it. So I eventually got it and it was actually pretty kino. Would play the vs mode with my friend for months.

>>713579848
this game hurt me more than sonic 06 in regards to what could have been

posting japanese games with no western marketing dont count. these games are not hidden in japan at all.
post western hidden gems.

>>713581139
The screeshots make it look like shit, are you sure it's a hidden gem?

>>713581512
the gameplay is jankfest.
the roleplaying and build autism is great though.
I love it.
it was made by one dude over 12 years.
though yeah its a case of >>713580104

>>713581581
You should also tell him that it's a sequel to a NWN mod

WHERE'S THE FUCKING PORT, SEGA?

>>713568236
/v/ermin only pretended to like it to be contrarian and get a few kicks out of "zoom zooms" that knew it was mascot horror shovelware.

>>713581218
muh monster rancher

>>713566913
What the fuck is up with Atlus making so many good games nobody talks about?

>>713565163
Bullet Witch good call

>>713566913
I absolutely hated 100%'ing this. I never liked any of the one handed swords that let you double jump and the grand majority of joins/cards were max difficulty and placed in areas where you needed a double jump.

>>713567732
I liked that one a lot. I love looter style games like Diablo and Path of Exile and it was fun having a shooter with those kind of mechanics

Come on at least one of you played this kino?

>>713584297
no but I did play this one

>>713584471
Added to my play list. God the 6th gen has so many games I've never played that look good.

sequel to Philosoma

>>713574052
Still have my PS2 copy of this. Top 3 Mystery Dungeon game easily.

Play it at least once a year.
>>713567236
Loved this game. Great story and amazing atmosphere.
>>713584297
Enjoyed this one quite a bit too.

Actually solid precision platformers similar to Another World, Flashback, and Blackthorne.

>>713568810
I want nothing more than for From to revive this series

>>713566974
What's up with the sequels? I remember enjoying the first game, but I never got around to play the second and third games.

Holy shit I could rant how good this metroidvania is. Breaking this game is absolutely fun

>>713580212
>>713580293
The actual hidden gem is its predecessor Remote Control Dandy on the PSX, which actually had much more content than RAD.

>>713581021
As an EUfag this was the game that made me aware of region-locking and hating it thereforth. Thankfully it's a thing of the past now.

>>713584297
I played this and it was bad.

>>713584471
This one was good though.

>>713587634
I've not played them either because I heard they departed from the Gothic gameplay.

>>713564583 (OP)

>>713574052
Never played their games but I only know them cause they were in Namco x Capcom.

>>713564583 (OP)
never played any brandish but this shit rocks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykYjr3sSACQ

Very underrated not talked about as much.

>>713593370
It's a bit unfair because it's a cover but Brandish music is cool nontheless.

>>713564583 (OP)
based op, i fucking love this game, one of my favourites by falcom. xanadu next is even better but at least that one is comparatively more popular and has the benefit of being on pc.

>>713565163
pre-Bayonetta?

>>713589421
I remember playing this back in the day, good stuff. Never really messed with the monster raising thing because the difficulty was so low as is

>>713594686
it's secretly pre-nier

>>713567316
I saw this so many times at blockbuster as a kid but never rented it. Was it actually good?

>>713566895
It's awesome and a great entry point before getting to the less accessible stuff, like pc98 Brandish 2

>>713593485
Only thing I remember about this one was watching the Retsupurae Longplay of it some time ago. Seemed ok from a game from that era.

>>713566723
The first time you're late and she's nearly fully transformed...

The gameplay is only okay, but damn this deserved to be many times more popular that it ended being. Especially it being the teams only full attempt at an original production of this quality. Who knows what they could have done with some budget and encouragement.

>>713566895
It's pretty good, made me discover and appreciate the series

Good shit.

>>713583572
The second game is peak. The third game is garbo. I was so angry

>>713583752
I have no clue how to play this game effectively. Great concept.

>>713583572
they were just one of the big publishers that other companies piggy backed to release stuff in the west, they didn't make most of the games they published

creeper world

>>713565163
Alicia is the gem

>>713581218
Pre Laegrinna

>>713565163
this post just reminded me I forgot to download the dlc outfits before the 360 marketplace closed, damn.

Shinobido
diamond in the rough
huge learning curve at all turns, but really satisfying to master

>>713585946
The soundtrack to this game is amazing.

>>713566723
The last story, too.

Just got a switch 2 and online. Any hidden gems on NSO? Pic unrelated

old as shit but this was my gateway drug to the genre

>>713564583 (OP)
Can someone please give me hidden gems for PS2?
I've recently found my old chipped hardware and now I'm looking for games on it, but I've already played the "top 100" kind of super popular games for it.
I've recently played World Super Police and 僕の夏休み which both are not crazy good like the really popular games but they are pretty damn enjoyable.

>>713564583 (OP)
Bump

>>713600289
I've got Robot Alchemic Drive on my to play list for ps2 games and it just seems like a very strange fun concept of a game. You play as a guy who remote controls a mech, but the gameplay also has that as the perspective. I don't expect amazing, but I expect incredibly charming

>>713564583 (OP)
Metal Saga

>>713599062
What's the context ? Because this is cool.

>>713604031
The terrible voice acting, actually interesting story (though slow) and excellent atmosphere intersect to create kinography. The gameplay is also weird in a fun way, though it does get repetitive.

>>713604031
>>713606842
Thanks anons, I'll check it out.

>>713566980
Back in my country the cover was censored save from the game logo, I bought thinking it was a SURFING game, I ended up enjoying

not the brandish I was thinking about

Would have gladly sacrificed the OR games in exchange for these games getting localized.

>>713585518
disappointing theres no english translation for this one. looks like an interesting oldschool survival horror game

>>713610889
It is entirely bizarre that Zangeki no Reginleiv never got localised. Genuinely doesn't make sense

>>713608586
So fucking cool

>>713568186
I'm not gonna lie, I legit thought those grey things were legs and the white things were fingers, on a clear alusion to a woman masturbating and playing with her clit.

Pic related is chinese Cuphead. Only the chinese and touhoucucks are aware of it, so stfu about muh review numbers, fags.

>>713611314
Game’s way more gorey than your usual Nintendo stuff and I remember NOA and NOE being particularly autistic about that sort of thing in that era, so that’s probably why. Takt not even being considered is what really strikes me as odd.

>>713613671
It’s funny how a random Nickelodeon game on the GBA was a complete rip-off of this, lol

It's a weird feeling seeing a game you grew up with getting more and more obscure as the years go by.

>>713584007
I hate this game purely for always showing up in my childhood obsessive searches for any one piece video game content I could get my hands on

>>713564583 (OP)
I've never encountered any other games that had sword/combat controls like this one. Still super fun to play today

>>713564583 (OP)
this and Haegemonia are still my two favourite space strategy games

>>713567736
>Because there are no more AA/mid-budget games that can fly under the radar anymore

Literally this year, one of the best finale acts I've ever seen.

Too bad the game is apparently shit

>>713619947
>pixelshit visual novel
We're talking about GAMES here, homo.

>>713567540
I know what this is and its heavily overrated by its 5 die hard fans.

>>713569030
Kino game

>>713566626
god choice display button and control is odd but good game.

really short Squaresoft adventure game with airship combat, exclusive to the Satellaview

>>713604513
novelty mission. your character's soul gets transferred into a bear and it's just fun doing all the same ninja shit as 800 pounds of fury.

The game is otherwise a mission based lite ninja 'sim'. There are three factions. you get to pick which task to accept from whom, mission after mission. your options are limited, and failure is an option. Sometimes (rarely) accepting a quest just to intentionally fail it is preferable depending how you want to game the factions.
its definitely a B grade game, but there's a lot of novelty and still nothing quite like it, save I guess the sequel on PSP.

>>713567368
did xbox version got a pal release?

>>713619703
I 'member playing this one as a kid and thinking how it was way more polished/fluid for action games at the time. Maybe I just never stumbled upon the good ones besides this, though.

Fun game
