This is probably gonna be filled with loads of JRPG's that people hate for not reaching mainstream but fuck that!
Im gonna show you the greatest game that should have taken off!
Mace-fucking-Griffin!!!!
I loved this god damn game! I played it through 20 times and it kicked fucking ass!!!!
Granted it looks like shit now but it was on the ps2, it had a pretty rough difficulty curve and it came out the same time as some pussy ass game named "HALO: Combat evolved" which pretty much drowned it in it's own feces. But you had your own space ship! What wouldn't you do for your own spaceship?
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY will agree with me, But I really enjoyed the Iron Man game from last year, even tough 99.99% of the world said it was the biggest pile of shit they had ever played
Ok, they shipped a broken game, but that's because the developer was in process of going bankrupt even before it was released. Too bad, cause this is the RPG overlord for character development, once you patch it.
Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines
And there may have been a title that snuck by me, but last I checked, Grand Prix Legends still has the most realisitc physics engine, for a raceing game, ever made. Yet another company, Papyrus, that went out of buisness.
