Your Favorite Underrated Games?

Because it is horrible? That is silly. That is like saying ASCII games aren't real games.

No, no, horrible games are real.

I mean Big Rigs is pretty much a couple hundred lines of code sloppily pasted together with spit and chewing gum.

It has no beginning, no end, no boundaries, no opponents, no anything really.

How they thought it was fit for retail, I'll never know #_#

And it's fun BECAUSE it's so bad, which is confusing.

 

I dunno, I always thought astronomically horrible things (games, movies, etc) were the most entertaining

Well, yeah.

I believe that's the "B-Movie" effect in action. It's like watching Manos — sure, the acting is terrible and The Master is cheesy, but you get to laugh at the ridiculous way it takes itself seriously.
In the same way, Big Rigs is only to be played so you can have fun running off the map,marvel at achieving the speed of light by driving backwards, and laugh at the opponent that never moves.

Yeah, not to mention it's hilarious exclamation of "You're Winner" XD

And for Japanese swordsman Pete's heavenly sake, let us derail this thread no further!

Was Big Rigs even made by the Japanese?

 

I love okami as well.
And by the way. Does Street Fighter x Tekken count as underrated?

 

Was Big Rigs even made by the Japanese?

No, it was made by Russians.

 

Welcome to Skies of Arcadia.

 

I would have to say Deadly Premonition, although it's understandable because it has some of the most boring gameplay to offer in constrast to the bizzare yet entertaining story. That it starts out the first two areas with very little story only makes it that much worse, but the cutscenes that come up later make up for it. People have said that it is just Twin Peaks the game, so if you are a fan of that definetly check it out.

Another game i'd like to share is Unholy War for the Playstation 1. It is like Powerstone, except with a Turn-Based strategy board. You buy characters, collect resources and when two characters collide, it switches to a 3D battle arena where you have to fight the opponent. There was also a mode without the board, but nonetheless it never sold well or gained any recognition over the years.

I can understand that maybe you have no clue about how code works, but if they got that game to work in under less than a thousand lines then color me impressed because that would be quite the feat.

 

I was exaggerating, Gir.

Although I must admit I really don't have any clue of how code works ^_^

 

Welcome to Skies of Arcadia.

Skies of Arcadia was really great. You've made me want to dig out my dreamcast to see if it still works.

 

I saw Bulletstorm and I say it´s very underrated. Best bosses ever. I might buy this game.

 

Dwarf Fortress all the way

 

*Inhales Deeply*
Custom Robo
Ticket to Ride (Online)
Sanctum
VVVVVV
Pirates, Knights, And Vikings II
Dead Pixels
Bastion
Various Worms Games

And more that I cant even put on here due to bad memory.

EDIUT:
I forgot to mention the Ape Escape franchise. PnP is best one. (Note: Edit is misspelled for humor.)

 

Dead Pixels

Is this the same Dead Pixels that I played on the 360, the Indie Game? I didn't find that game quite too good, actually. I realized this when I figured out that you could run past all of the zombies without any penalty and still beat the game very quickly.

Yes, But I play it on PC.
I dont run past instead I just loot as much shit as possible and kill the zeds to get monehs.

 

No, it was made by Russians.

I found this hilarious for some reason ^W^

I'm going to say the same thing I always say: Perfect Dark is the greatest videogame ever created and it is criminally underappreciated.

I actually have the GBC version(the one with the built-in rumble pack thing).

VVVVVV

Rythum Thief and the Emperors Treasure(I haven't played the full game, but I've played the demo and I want it)

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective(also played the demo, also want it)

Super Mario Sunshine(Seriously, guys. What the heck is wrong with you people?)

Noitu Love and the Army of Grinning Darns(mostly 'cause people haven't even heard of it)

Phantasmaburbia('cause people think it's a terrible game just 'cause it was made in GameMaker)

EarthBound(I believe 'cause normal people look at it for two seconds and say it's stupid 'cause it's weird)

@HyMyNameIsMatt THAT PENGUIN SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!!

I wanted to add a game to my list:

La-Mulana(because the idea of a game that's so brutally difficult seems stupid to some people)

 

My favorite underrated game is "To the Moon".
It has a beautifull story, nice soundtracks, really funny fanservice
and it made me cry at the end. It was just to beautifull and sad.
I wish I could forget this game to play it a second time like the first time.
