>>1066861 What game is that?

>>1066854 I remember the too human shitshow when it released, but i had already shifted to playing 100% on PC at that point so i never played it. Doesn't seen like i missed a lot.

Only time I ever spent money on a game as a joke.

>>1066869 That game is too infamous to be here. People are still talking about it despite most people not having played it.

>>1066871 Red Faction Armaggedon barely anyone remembers and it did so poorly it sold like half of Red Faction, but plenty of people still remember the 2010 AVP game, it had some decent marketing behind it and sold alright. Just not COD numbers

>>1066877 The thread may as well be called memorable marketing campaigns really.

>>1066882 *Un-memorable.

>>1066882 Not really Some simply didn't have any, just word of mouth

>>1066885 Like I said, marketing campaigns.

>>1066854 Breed was rather cool, basically the first "Halo-killer" since it also went with the whole "started as a RTS became a FPS" thing and the Starship Troopers knock off setting was cool as well But once you actually play it you just know it wasn't a finished game, as a matter of fact it feels not far removed from FPS mods in Starcraft 2 in terms of gunplay and the missions are just about the most forgettable shit when it's not memorable because of how bad it is (forced stealth mission, enough said). Devastation had a neat concept (what if regular shooter but you get a respawn mechanic and sometimes your enemies do as well) but it just was not given the polish it deserved. That laser sniper rifle was made of pure sex though. >>1066871 Fucking everybody raves on about Guerilla but honestly it falls into every single traps of a mediocre open world game and besides the limited destructibles it's just boring, whereas Armageddon is more in line with the original, an okayish shooter with neat gimmicks it just really wasn't a time where such a game could be successful anymore.

Remember that Mother 4 fan game that's been in development for god knows how long. Still little to no news on it. Last original post was 6 months ago and it was just a comic strip that supposedly tied to the game somehow.

>>1066903 >TimeShift I thought I remembered that one, but then I realized I was thinking of Haze.

The hype surrounding this game vs the total lack of discussion less than a month after launch was very funny to see. To this day I do not understand why so many people, including anons here, were so excited for this turd. >>1066870 Its use of jigsaw pieces and legos, its emphasis on childhood, it's like Autism Speaks made it. This is such an "autism parent" ass game lmao, actual autistic people hate this kind of media.

>>1066903 Guerrila was a pre Ubishit Open World so the game was mostly collectibles and the progression system was actually enjoyable (except for giving you the jetpack too late). It does get quite repetitive but it' still a physics sandbox so there's plenty of fun moments to fuck around with. Armaggedon flopped exactly because everyone complaijed that it was not Open World.

The Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy were some of my favorite childhood games, so I will never forget about this game. I did not play it on release, as I heard it wasn't all that good, and by then I had moved on, because of PoP 2008 and Assassin Creed killing the series. Several years later, I did play it on PC, it was ok, and I think it's better for the better that the series ended like this, instead of getting annual releases like AssCreed. Yes, I am aware of the 2D game that got released somewhat recently, but that is ok for me, it doesn't really affect the other games. There was also a cancelled 2010 game, called Redemption, and thankfully it died quickly, because it's quick death is the only redeeming fact about it.

>>1066861 Lost oddysey on Xbox 360 was good, i really need to setup Xenia to paly it again

>>1066903 Vietcong is well known in czech republic abd thereby slovakia too

One of the weirdest instances of forgotten games that comes to mind is that one time Ace Combat turned into Cowadoody.

>>1066854 >Post vidya barely anyone remembers Part of the problem with making such a demand is that it depends upon how "obscure" of a game you want to mention. <For example, I unironically own all these games, and have never seen anyone ever talk about them. >>1066903 >TimeShift >>1066930 >Haze >>1066965 >The Forgotten Sands You fags have to do better than that than to list games that I actually own.

>>1066980 >Cubic Ninja Let's be honest, most people who owned that game, was just to use the exploit in order to install pirated software on the 3DS.

>>1066976 Nothing weird about it post 2007 7th Gen was fucking miserable with every game in every genre wanting to be COD, Gear or Halo.

>>1066950 People liked Terraria. This promised to be Terraria, but in space. Then they fucked it up.

>>1066998 >People liked Terraria. This promised to be Terraria, but in space. Then they fucked it up. Not even the first time that happened

>>1066871 Armageddon might have been one of the worst ideas for a sequel. Take everything people loved about the previous game and just fucking get rid of it and fight monsters in some fucking tunnels. Fucking genious.

>>1067190 Well I remember a couple of characters from this game.

>>1067191 Plural?

>>1067192 The Potato was also a character. I'm not sure if she actually made it in or not but reddit submitted her. And then they abandoned her. And /v/ adopted her.

>>1066980 Own any of these?

>>1067374 Yes, Septerra Core

>>1067374 I've wanted to get Odama for a long time. I regret not getting it long ago when I saw it in the store.

>>1067203 Ah, didn't realize she was from the game too.

>>1066863 Proud owner of this game on steam On my last Steam account, I also owned Happy Tree Friends False Alarm which was only available for about two months. Never heard a peep about it since it went off the store, but to be fair the game was forgettable.

>>1066854 Did anyone play the game with the "I Love My Food" song?

>>1066854 Too Human has gone from being a notorious clusterfuck to being posted in an obscure game thread? >>1066903 >Timeshift >Vietcong I remember both of these, especially Timeshift because it was a popular answer to "the Wii has no shooters" in ye olden days of console wars and Vietcong because there was moralfagging about it. >>1066930 >Piss Filter: The Game Ugh. >>1067374 >Odama Played it at a friend's house, we got yelled at for yelling at the game and his mom didn't accept the excuse that that was what you were supposed to do.

>>1067524 > Timeshift because it was a popular answer to "the Wii has no shooters" But Timeshift isn't on the Wii?

>>1067527 Ah fuck me you're right. I was thinking of Conduit. I suck dicks, ignore my post.

>>1067524 >Notorious Maybe in thr US

Remember when RTS as a genre existed with more than 2 games a year, and they act least tried to innovate between them with at least a new gimmick? All that's left now are supreme commander clones, starcraft, and maybe company of heroes if you squint. Still, this is a boomer thread. Any game older than 15 years is almost guaranteed to be in the "barely anyone remembers" list.

>>1067527 >>1067528 >The Conduit Played and beat that, still need to play the sequel >>1067536 >Rise of Legends Didn't Sseth do a review of that?

>>1067548 >Didn't Sseth do a review of that? Yeah.

>>1066854 Anybody remember these? Don't think I've ever heard anybody else talk about these,

No relation to the film. This was the predecessor to Xanadu, this was the game that led to Ys and Zelda. A game that was extremely important and influential, yet is completely unremembered today. Ultima, Rogue, and Wizardry all got their roses, but Dragon Slayer remains obscure. Likely forgotten as unlike other Japanese CRPGs from the early-to-mid 80s, Dragon Slayer never got a Famicom or international release; mostly being ported to other Japanese computers. >>1067575 Every port of this game does something better than the others, so the best way to play it is some crazy concoction that merges different parts of them together. So I've heard, never played it personally.

>>1067559 Holy shit, I remember seeing General Chaos in a magazine as a kid and I really wanted to play it for many years but I never found it anywhere, eventually I kind of forgot about it. I should go find a rom and play it now after 30 years.

This was a pretty fun game at the time, Valve abandoned it almost instantly.

>>1066980 "Most obscure games you actually own (and maybe like)" would perhaps be a better variant of this thread. I'll list a couple that I have and like. >Jersey Devil I've tried to get people to play it, but they all complain about the controls. I think the issue is that people expect the glide to feel like Spyro, and let you go far. The glide really doesn't give you much distance, and is instead used mostly for just a slight variant to your jump that makes the platforming more complex. Otherwise it's a somewhat standard playing 3D platformer of the era, but I like that genre. Bit of a mix between Mario 64's more open design and Crash Bandicoot's more linear design. And I love the halloween aesthetic. >Tobal No. 1 I know it got a sequel in Japan, but the only times I've heard anyone talk about it in English is to mention that it came with a demo of Final Fantasy VII. I never liked Final Fantasy, but I loved Tobal since it first released. The controls are a bit weird, the circle button isn't used at all, for some reason, but that didn't hurt the fun for me. What helped the fun significantly was the Quest Mode, where you do dungeon crawling with light RPG elements, with fighting game combat, of ccourse. Neat concept, and I guess it did better in Japan, but since nobody gives a flying fuck about it outside Japan, I think it's relevant to this thread. Also, Akira Toriyama did the character designs, and the American instruction booklet tries to advertise DBZ as being from the maker of this game, rather than the other way around. That's pretty funny. I did already like DBZ though so I just thought it was cool. >>1067559 Shove It is one of the best Boxxle clones (or ports?) of the time. And there were many. And there is a dedicated subculture of old school Sega fans who don't even like Sonic, and are instead all about games like Pat Riley Basketball. The other two are pretty damn obscure, though.

>>Still, this is a boomer thread. Any game older than 15 years is almost guaranteed to be in the "barely anyone remembers" list. While this is unfortunately true, if we used your cutoff, the thread would be filled with nothing but Wii/3DS shovelware or downloadable games nobody's even heard of. Anyway, seeing Starlancer mentioned made me think of these.

What was that german game where you play some chick who catches fairies and does pokemon battles with them? Ancient 2000s game I believe

Sequel when?

>>1067657 Never (makes James Cameron and his pandora avatar films look bad)

A quite fun vehicular combat racer from early in the ps2's lifetime. It took ages for me to realize the name of the game, for a while I was quite convinced it was a hot wheels game.

>>1067658 Uuuuhm what do you mean?? The feline alien savages fighting human mining colonists in THIS game are not BLUE so it's nothing like Avatar!

>>1067653 Zanzarah?

>>1067653 I think you are talking about Zanzarah. >>997644

>>1067674 >>1067703 Yes that's the one. Didn't know the thread was still up lmao. I liked how you quake arena the other goblinoids with your goblinoid (but with magic) Pic only sort of related: best 2d cuhrazy fighter game with fairies

>>1066924 >it'll be out when it's ready So never? Might as well wait for Reggie Fils-Aime to announce a Mother 3 remake for the Switch 2.

>>1067442 Didn't even know Universe at War was on Steam!

>>1068810 It ain't anymore. Got taken down in 2009 I think.

>>1066854 Doubt anyone remember this one. Shit graphics, shit controls, shit AI (that just aimbots you in the head on second and third tournament), but music and map design was (mostly) top notch. A bit sad that i couldn't play even lan matches cause everyone liked CS and Dota more

A very obscure one. I wonder if anybody here can even recognize this just based on a screenshot.

>>1069032 Drakensang is not obscure in Germany.

>Neverdead >Literally dead on arrival

>>1068908 yeah, but I didn't know he had been there at all since it was also ridden with GFLW

>>1069055 I still remember that trailer running at like 10 FPS

>>1069037 I know it won GOTY there, but I don't think it's known outside DACH nations. >>1069055 Konami published a bunch of completely unremembered games throughout that period. Here are a few others. >>1069059 I still see #3 brought up among PS2 enthusiasts, so it's at least known among them.

And today, Konami can publish some real obscure trash. Here's a game I bet nobody on this board has ever heard of. It doesn't even have 100 reviews on Steam. Great marketing from Konami there.

Remember these "massive" cross-media franchises?

>>1070441 I liked the defiance tv show and viva pinata was a fun little game.

>>1070446 >Complete story >You are unable to use your party afterwards outside multiplayer I wish somebody had told me.

>>1070441 Remember this one?

>>1075263 Not really that obscure or forgotten. The Xeno series still exists, Kosmos shows up in tie in media all the time, and they've been heavily hinting at bringing Saga specific back.

>>1075263 Have some music from a successful cross-media franchise.

>>1075279 Outside Japan I don't think many people even remember Xenosaga >>1075283 >first file Ah, nostalgia!

>>1075286 >Outside Japan I don't think many people even remember Xenosaga Most people who are into the Xeno franchise are at least aware of it if not actually played it. I mean most of those people are weebs, sure, but it's not nearly as forgotten or abandoned as most of the stuff in this thread.

>>1075289 That from SRW?

>>1075290 I think Project X Zone.

>>1075293 Thanks, knew it was Banpresto

>>1067536 >Impossible Creatures Memorable because it's the predecessor to Dawn of War (and they use the same engine)
