While you guys and gals are playing your newfangled Destinies you just got for Christmas, millions of games go by unloved because not enough people know of them and of how awesome they are.
So let's Fix that, PA Forums. Let's appreciate the shit out of those games, be they obscure indie games or even misunderstood AAA titles.
i want to start off by talking about a game I just really really love called Starseed Pilgrim.
it's an indie game you can buy on Steam about discovery. The less you know about it, the better it is. it's simply amazing and everyone should try it out and be judged solely on their opinions on this game.
So if you have 6 bucks handy, check out Starseed pilgrim on Steam. it's worth every penny and then some, in my humble opinion.
But enough about my opinions, what are your favorite obscure games? What are some games you feel deserve a second chance? What are those weird extremely japanese titles you fancy because of how quirky they are?

RPS likes it, too!
oh snap, i remember about that game.
I think a friend had it and I tried it and i just spent hours making creatures and not actually RTSing.

Why I fear the ocean.
I was running around the start when I ran into the second enemy in the game, a kobold. I had kind of gotten the grasp of the basics in the first fight, but I also noticed that jumping forward made your character do a kind of jumping side flip. So I pondered if it would let me do something...
Kobold: "Human! Die!"
Run forward and jump, hitting 4 then 6: The character does a jumping side flip, slicing the kobold's head off on the way down.
Instantly sold. There was even a move creator where you could make a custom move, then bind it to a key.

Watch me struggle to learn streaming! Point and laugh!
OH FUCK.
Amazing island.
i remember that game. i must've rented it, like, 3 times.
It was a crappy game, but i loved making monsters.

oh shit is this the one where you have to dodge searchlights and rappel down a building and there's like a sniper part? for NES or Genesis or something?

Exactly. I know I had it for NES but it might have been on both systems.
I spent so much time on this as a kid.
also Killing Time for the 3DO
Loved em
i'm talking about true GameCube Hidden Gem: Gotcha Force.
Made by Capcom, this action game was insanely cool.
Imagine Pokemon, except as an action game...
Can you imagine doing 4 player free-for all battles in pokemon as an action game?
Well, Gotcha Force was kinda like that, except even cooler.
If you ever see this game in the wild, buy it. it's rare, but it's super fun.

I saw a full LP once. I really wish there was an easy way to play it on modern machines, since it seemed pretty interesting.
Why I fear the ocean.
"Feel my wrath."
"Hwaaargh!"
"You're finished now."
"Feel my wrath."
"We're not finished yet."
"Hwaaargh!"
Kind of gave it a different twist from most games. More of a fantasy kingdom simulation and management game.
but they're listening to every word I say
Also Earthsiege, Dynamix/Sierra's take on Mechwarrior. I loved those gourad shaders!

The neatest thing about Hybrid Heaven's weird-as-fuck combat system was that your character's stance (and maybe build?) changed depending on what moves you used most frequently.
I only played it once with a friend, but I remember having a blast with it.

I'm working on a cute little video game! Here's a link for you.
Loved that game. You had what, three different mechs to choose from? The city fights were great.
