Talk about games you never see anyone talking about.
I'm playing Obscure right now. It's a survival horror game released in 2004. Its main gimmick is that it can be played in co-op, though I'm playing solo and the partner AI is kinda dumb, but the game is still fun.
I remember playing the sequel on my PS2 back in the day as a kid, but never finished it.

Played it with my brother back in the days. We both watched a lot of slasher movies growing up, so we had a blast with the game.

>>11930693 (OP)
Loved that game, played as the two chicks because one knows how to heal and the other one is a good shot. I'm currently playing pic related and so far it's pretty good.

This game was so cool and futuristic when first playing it. Everyone thought it was badass. Looking it up on Youtube now is kind of shocking now because at the time the visuals were insane

Pandemonium is one of the most criminally forgotten games I know. It was a best selling, critically acclaimed and influencial game. Can you think of another "2.5D" platformer in that style before Pandemonium? and I'm not talking about Bug, that's a completely different style, I'm talking about the way the game handles rotation and multi paths in the level design which became standard for 2.5D platformers like Klonoa or N64 Goemon. You can't because there isn't one, Pandemonium came up with the blueprint and everyone knew about the game back then.

Meanwhile when's the last time you heard someone talk about Pandemonium except on here?

>>11931605
I'm a weeb to the bone but the original release and FMV are so much better than the Magical Hoppers trash that constantly gets recommend in "hidden gem" threads.

>>11931605
I've been meaning to play this for a long time, it reminds me of some of the licensed PS1 games I used to play as a kid, I don't mean it disparagingly, it's a nostalgic feeling

>>11931605
Never played so went to look it up and the JP wiki doesn't even have the basic info completely filled out

Games we never ever talk about.

Never ever.

>forgotten

>better than the actual card game
>forgotten

One of the games of all time.

>>11931605
People never talk about it because Pandemonium 2 was garbage, a shame really.

You will NEVER see anyone mention this game. It's not even bad. Just another forgotten title from it's era.

>>11931751
Why are you even consulting that?

>>11931823
Never ever what? It's been a pretty widely-talked about game since its days as an import.

>>11931906
Easier for me to understand
Less fanboy and or political nonsense and revisionism
Amount of content usually reflects actual current popularity or namesake
Even if I search in English JP results usually come up

>>11931820
I rented this game more than a single time, cannot fathom why I would have ever done that.

>>11931747
Hoppers would be better if they actually reskinned the entire game in the same Hermie Hopperhead-like style the opening animation sets up.

>>11931276
Hey I played this. I got softlocked once because I quicksaved too close to a hole, so every time I died from falling in, when I would respawn, the guy would slide into the hole and die. Lost my save due to that loop

>>11931969
>Terminal Velocity
>game runs at 2-5 fps
I cant even decide if it's a smart joke or stupid joke.

>>11931605
I was going through my comic collection recently and holy damn did they advertise that a lot in comics during the lead up or during release or whatever. Shit is everywhere like the milk ads.

Found a copy of it at a local flea market this week, played it briefly as a kid and really liked it.

Akira toriyama game with no European release in the late 90s.
Blame squaresoft.

>>11932398
>Cold fear
This game is in my backlog for ages. It stuck with me ever since it got a cover and a main review in a magazine I used to read. And yeah, even if I know it's just Ubisoft's attempt at making their own Resident Evil.

>>11930693 (OP)
Clive Barkert Undying. Pretty esoteric story and the mansion is big and beautiful. Kinda loses steam when you leave.

>>11932870
Have not beaten it yet but made great progress. Game is bad honestly. And its not because of RE4, early PS2 game Extermination was good but Cold Fear is bad.
Its only RE4 esque when you aim. Afterward it plays like say Silent Hill but bad.
The ship moving doesnt help. No map, no inventory management, enemies dropping health packs or rare aid kits is annoying.
That said still worth a try.

>>11932730
First game came out in Europe, second game was one of the most highly-rated games as an import by Play UK.

I saw Keepsake adds a couple times in magazines which let me to believe it's a bigger deal that it actually was. The studio behind it actually made only one other game beside this game, a sort of tactic game on ds released five years after Keepsake. But Keepsake is a point'n'click fantasy puzzle game set in a magical academy where everyone mysterious disappeared. You play as Lydia, a newcomer to the school, who goes to meet her long time no see friend only to find the whole building completely empty.
Surprisingly the game cost only 1 dollar on Steam. Like it's not discounted, it's the regular price. I'm used to seeing prices at least five times bigger, even for older obscure games, so I found that odd but I ain't complain. I've played it a bit. It's a pretty charming game, which so far makes up for the gameplay being mostly running around empty screens and occasional doing puzzles.

Sun God, bless me with your rays.

Obscure it's a bit of a mediocre game but I've always liked the idea of co-op horror games and there aren't, most of them are just jumpscare simulators, I can't think of many that tried what Obscure did, especially back then.

>>11930693 (OP)

>>11931827
Dude, I fucking love this game. It's so much better than any other TCG adaptation it's unreal. Tons of content for a PS1 game, too. I just wish they kept the anime character songs in the English release. :(

>>11931276
Isn't this set in the Bloodrayne universe.

>>11932458
I've seen a few Gun threads on /v/, it's not THAT forgotten

>>11933718
In the first chapter you have a sexy dhampir lady as a companion and she has similar arm-blades to Rayne

>early PS2 game Extermination was good but Cold Fear is bad.
Haven't played Cold Fear but when someone who likes Extermination says a survival horror game is bad you best believe it is

>>11931828
It's so weird how people never mention how good this game's voice acting is. Actually some of the best I've heard from that era. Fantastic game overall too.

Played this at a Toys R Us kiosk. The movement seemed really interesting. Wasn't enough to get me to buy an Xbox though.

>released in every single console at the time
>looks good
>amazing soundtrack, even better in the CD versions
>gameplay could be better
>forgotten

literally no one talks about this game despite it being goofy as hell

>>11934391
I think it got the attention it deserved. The only good part about it is the literal demo. Then it falls flat on its face and it starts vigorously headbutting the ground until it dies.

>>11931272

Gave it a playthrough recently. It's really short but great fun, and surprisingly funny in places. This game is definitely due a renaissance. It's a shame MDK 2 was a bit hit and miss.

>>11931605

On PCs, Pandemonium was one of many games sold on a 'look how cool this looks with your new 3DFX card,oh - no 3DFX card? BUY A 3DFX CARD' basis. I played the demo and it was fun. Maybe this is a prompt to play the full thing.

>>11931969

It's forgotten because they pretty much lifted and shifted it to Fury3, and then sold that with Microsoft joysticks. It's a fun game though.

Primal on PS2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tZYhVNc17s
I remember it being featured in a bunch of mags and ads (and I even thought it was among launch PS2 games but it was released only in 2003), but then it came out with some mixed reception and was quickly forgotten.

>>11930693 (OP)
Team Buddies was a late ps1 title that we played a ton as kids. Campaign, fun multiplayer with different modes like soccer. It was THE ps1 game at our house.

>>11930693 (OP)
I don't care about the reception, I adored this game.

Literally nobody, and I mean NOBODY, remembers I-Ninja, even though this game was the pinnacle of my childhood hardly anyone talks about it, which kind of sucks but oh well. Here's a high res scan I did of the game cover.

I also scanned the disc, I have the ps2 version as well, might scan it one day.

>>11931823
I feel like Tobal 2 is one of those games that only gets mentioned in the context of its trivia (the "over 200 characters" or whatever tidbit, a number it reaches largely due to Quest Mode).

>>11930693 (OP)
Despite this game's popularity I rarely see anyone talk about it.

>>11934917
That's because it's popular as a clout game. Hipsters claim they love it and that it's art and etc. but nobody actually plays it because A) these same hipsters just watch playthroughs from other people, AT MOST and B) it's not actually a fun game, so there's not really any draw for the average gamer, who will likely also watch it on youtube at most.

>>11934462
Love this game.
Should've been a hit.

>>11934934
It's a decent game, it's just way too long. If it was split in two parts, it'd have been more widely pooular.

>>11934462
I can't imagine getting Primal mixed up with a launch PS2 game. The visuals are insanely good.

>>11934583
>>11934586
I always be wonderin' why they called it I-Ninja n' shit. Was it just because of the popularity of the iMac?

>>11934934
It's a fine game, it's basically a Zelda game.
>>11934947
Agreed on it being too long, I genuinely thought the game was over just to learn. I only was halfway done, there's not really anything new to the second half so it gets pretty boring outside of the bosses.

It's interesting to sometimes look at console launch titles and see so many of them fell into memory hole. Like Smuggler's Run. PS2 launch title that no only had favorable scores but also was made by Rockstar itself. First time I've even heard about this game.
