Don't make them like they used to





TintoConCasera Got to show the cool stuff





And I always have to show this one

Second Sight, was just the right kind of baseline for stealth/action sci-fi as a kid. Primed me for when I'd discover metal gear and MGS4 four years later.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Playing it right now. It's criminally underrated. Maybe it's just the character action genre, but still.

A super cool game, with really awesome moves.I loved this game.

Great twist ending.

And yeah, I'm ashamed I forgot to mention Vandal Hearts. FFT gets just recognition for being awesome, but IMO, it can't hold a candle to Vandal Hearts for style, fun factor, and flavor.

Chrono Cross

One of the great classic JRPGs.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Second Sight

For some reason that game always reminds me of Psi-Ops: the Mindgate Conspiracy, which is also a great and I believe overlooked game:

(posting the jap cover because it's way cooler)

My most underrated game is an old RTS from 2001, an old favorite which a bunch of us here at the old GAF forums used to play together a LOT.

Kohan: Ahriman's Gift

A very unique RTS and still to this day one of my favorite RTS games of all time. It was a slower paced, more strategic RTS than the hyper quick APM heavy RTS games which were much more popular.

It deserved better. I'd love for someone to make a modern remake or spiritual successor.

Eternal Strands
The Rogue: Prince of Persia

Star Ocean 3 Til The End of Time

This game is overhated. I still think this is the best entry in the franchise. It has the best Item Creation system where it combines time spend on making the item with how much money you put into it. It was different take on the system than before. The battle system is still my favorite out of all the games. I love the MP Death mechanic, yes enemies can target your mp and kill your characters by getting it to 0 but you can do the same thing to your enemies. It was an interesting battle system and for me still holds up. As for story, didn't bother me since I don't really play Star Ocean for the story, I play Star Ocean to break the game and make it my bitch and have it call me daddy while I'm doing it

Also

3D Star Ocean is so much better than 2D Star Ocean

Thanks, buddy. I really love this field and I try everything.

 

[Mortisfacio]

More overlooked than underrated, but a great game and pretty much the best base building TD style game I've played the last decade.

I played the demo of Kunitsu-gami and really liked it, I should play the full game at some point.

Too Human, I think it failed internally cause it has religious themes. It's my first WRPG and my debut to this genre.
