ill pirate second one if it allows me to join police faction and beat the shit out of antifa cucks

>>15288754

I actually completely forgot there was a sequel. I thought you meant that Dead Island 2 cash in that got permanently shelved.

duke nukem dosent get much love these days

borderlands the prequel is great this gen

I really liked dying light but probably wouldn't have even pirated it on release date. The later difficulties which were really enjoyable were only added post game and I can't even imagine playing it on easy.

Also the story of the vanilla game is fucking dumb. Its an idiotball with no conclusion. The expansion had a much better story.

For Honor is unironically the best medieval melee combat game there is. After they added proper servers, it is excellent. Looks good, runs good, controls good and the combat has zero handholding. It is up to you to get good and learn how to read your opponents. I just wish it wasn't made by Ubisoft. They added the ability to change your gender for most characters into female, which is cancer. They have also made sure to make any resemblance of religion absent. Not a single Christian symbol in the entire game with the exception of some non-Christian crosses. People ask for more Christian-themed customization but the devs are too scared of wrongthink and so they made all the characters believe in the god of steel or some crap like that instead. And there are also retarded emotes such as flowers showing up or smoke and other effects. Thankfully those can be turned off in the settings but their existence is still a bad thing.

But with the exception of these problems, the game is rad. If it was made by any other studio we would have much more customization, Byzantine-themed armor and a more serious lore.

not sure if underrated, unknown or half dead

The Ninja Warriors Again

>side-scrolling beat 'em up instead of the usual belt scrolling, lack of moving up and down is replaced with a higher emphasis on responding to standing/crouching attacks

>smaller playing area means you're constantly surrounded from left and right, grunts who can be killed in one hit by anything but can poke you keep spawning most of the time

>you can block, but only from one side, and either high or low blows, you even can block and backstep when stunlocked in combos

>enemy variety is good, you have kunoichis which keep doing somersaults in the air to get behind you and slash you while you are busy, gunmen which fire bullets either high or low, dragon ninjas which can breath fire at a longer range than your punches, mutants which can make themselves invulnerable to throws, robots which are invulnerable to punches from the front and need to be hit from behind or with throws, and so on

>enemies are damn aggressive, some attack near instantly as soon as you get in their range so it becomes a contest of spacing

>lack of space places a higher emphasis of throws as a means of crowd control, Ninja has very powerful throws but has a harder time recovering when knocked down and surrounded, whereas Kunoichi's throws aren't as versatile but her backstep lets her jump over enemies in an arc to get behind them and to reposition yourself to somewhere safer

>specials work like a smartbomb which knocks down all enemies, and it can only be used when the special gauge is full (which fills over time), but if you get knocked down when the gauge isn't completely full, it completely empties, so you need to work for it to be able to use it more than once

>you also have a special more damaging combo you can use when your gauge is full, but it takes up 25% energy and puts you at the risk of losing your entire gauge if you get knocked down before it fully recharges

>bosses often involve fighting regular enemies alongside the bosses so you can't win solely by exploiting the boss AI, the final boss can only be killed by throwing other enemies against him

>some of the best music on the SNES

Sin & Punishment

>3D rail shooter where you control your character simultaneously with the crosshair

>you can jump, doublejump, and roll through attacks, and there's many kinds of attacks

>your gun doubles as a sword which can hit nearby enemies, and can even reflect missiles back into the enemies

>it's fucking CRAZY, you fight some teenage girl who starts teleporting in soldiers in ridiculous numbers just to throw them at you, and after killing her Tokyo is engulfed in a tsunami of blood for no reason and you both transform into massive Evangelions for absolutely no reason just to fight eachother

>second stage involves fighting the psychic leader of the bad guys in an ace combat duel, except he's standing directly on top of his own plane to shoot you while controlling the plane itself, but then you are also standing on top of a levitating block of debris while decimating an entire battleship fleet with just your pistol in one of the most impressive and slowdown-inducing setpieces for the N64

>the final boss is a clone of the Earth itself which is trying to destroy the original Earth

>perfectly playable on Virtual Console using Dolphin

>>15289025

The only F2P I've ever spent money on.

Also the only F2P FPS that you can dominate a match without spending money.

Loved playing it 4-5 years ago.

>>15288746

>I liked Dead Island

How? The game was a shitpile.

>quick and full enemy respawn in a game that asks you to backtrack constantly

>spongy but weak enemies that take forever to deal with without any real challenge

>shitty plot

The part I recall the most was the city. It asked you to get from one area and back like four times, always across a fucking bridge that was swamped by hordes of zombies. Every time you did as much as go inside a building, those fuckers instantly respawned, so you had to slay the same niggers all over again. Worse yet, the combat was ass, so it took forever and was ridiculously tedious. I only finished the game thorugh sheer force of will. It's hard to believe Dying Light runs on the same engine and all, given how much better it is in every regard

>>15288746

The Following was pretty much everything I want out of an expansion pack

>new location that is completely different from the main game

>new mechanics like driving

>new abilities and weapons that dont powercreep the main game

>an actually decent ending unlike the main game

>a large open world that isnt split into two sections

>doing doughnuts in my buggy in a crowd of zombies

>the edgy lesbian's girlfriend fuckin dies because they're retarded

It was p gud

>>15288763

Why? I tried it for an hour and it's just as bad as BL2 if not worse.

>>15289722

>How? The game was a shitpile.

I liked it too. I will tell you how. The paradise resort setting was very original for myself. I have never been to one in real life either so it was very interesting. Going through the entirety of the hotel, the offices, kitchen and parking etc was interesting too. I did not like the characters, and I despise the Australian / New Zealand accents as most do but I was able to push through that because that is subjective taste. I liked the loot system though it could have been more complex. The enemies were varied and seemed to gather in interesting places and would often surprise. It was a very well flushed out game and could have been stellar with a bit more polish and better characters who did not speak down under gibberish and embody racial stereotypes and moronic culture trends like rappers. I enjoyed the second one as well, though it was better in some areas and worse in others.

The main thing is this game is excellent value under ten dollars, most who play it pay less than that. I did not play it upon release so I didn't experience the bugs and shame for paying full price for a game post 2006.

State of Decay YOSE. If you mod out all the glitches, it's a pretty decent experience.

(The sequel is utter shit though.)

>>15299991

I played AIM too. The sequel was slightly better. If I remember correctly, this was like a hover ship sim in the vein of Freelancer.

>>15299991

Contracts kind of sucks compared to Blood Money, but honestly Blood Money is the highlight of the series. I guess Contracts is better than Absolution, but that's not really saying much.

>>15299991

Break Quest is smooth AF and has great music.

>>15301490

The sequel is utter fucking trash. Never played the first one though.

>>15301490

I finished it for the first time last saturday. It has some major flaws, most of them stemming from the generation it came from. I had forgotten how much bullshit that gen introduced. Those really hampered my enjoyment of it.

Overall, It was was more or less mediocre (i'd even say slightly less than mediocre). Throughout the whole game you could tell there was potential there, which I hear was far more realized in the second game. I hope to play it some time soon.

>>15301511

That's a shame to hear, any reasons in particular?

>>15288746

No. The weapons system is SHIT and so is most of the combat.

It is usually more fun to just run around rather than fight.

>>15288746

been playing this recently on xbone. the setting is the most dull and dreary shit ever and ive skipped EVERY cutscene. who thought boring middle eastern city and ran with it? all the npcs suck and you run out of stamina too fast

>>15301654

adding onto my post. there is literally no blocking in a game focused on melee, when stamina recovery is so slow it gets so tedius. Killing Floor 2 has better melee and gore. (not as many weapons)

>>15301204

>I played AIM too. The sequel was slightly better

The second had many QoL features and quite a few bits of decent content (mostly more weapon diversity and more stuff to kill things with) over 1 the thing is it's just not as good almost everywhere else, it especially lack the organic way the world presents itself to you and how it incentivize you to explore it.

There's some russian turboautist porting the first game to UE4 so maybe we'll get some good stuff coming from that if the sequel thing doesn't pan out.

>>15301653

How in the fuck does this qualify as "a pretty good game"? It lost everything that made Unreal good. The weapons are shit, the level design is boring, the aesthetics are gone. And then there's the snail pace movement speed.

And why did they bother with the "downtime" on the fucking ship. There was plenty of downtime in the levels already when you're dragging your slow ass from one pathetic encounter to the next.

>>15301739

Underrated doesn't immediately mean "pretty good". Just, underrated.

>>15301755

That's wrong though. A game isn't underrated just because people don't discuss it or whatever. It's underrated, when people don't play it/ discuss it in spite of being pretty good.

I want summer to end.

>>15301755

The guy in the post I'm responding to called it pretty good.

>>15301764

My bad. I really need to go into torpor.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

>Improved the gameplay from Human Revolution (no shitty eat snacks to refill battery bullshit).

>You can beat any mission, main or side-mission in numerous ways, the level design is so good you have so many choices to decide how you should tackle problems leading to a higher replayability-value

>The hub-world is so deep and rich of content you can spend days just exploring and traversing the city to find new places and apartments which each has stories and secrets to tell.

>The side-missions are amongst the best ever made, Witcher 3 is a shitty Skyrim-clone in comparasion.

All because you faggots fell for the SJW-outrage over it (that they and i have to admit did very well) coupled in and diverted the outrage together with the microtransactions (which was bullshit and you don't need them). You know you're on the wrong side of the fence if Jim F'n Sterling of all people are the one with the loudest voice in your group. They got pissed because they "demeaned" the Black Lives Matter-group with the Aug Lives Matter-slogan. Which in itself is not a damn problem, qiuet clever considering all of the augmented people turned the world into a zombie apocalypse in the last game hence why normal humans despise your robot ass in this game, only natural.

>But m-m-m-muh story is too short

You can beat Fallout in 15 minutes upon starting the game if you want to. No, the game isn't short if you actually take your time to investigate the world and the clues and apartments for said clues and whatnot to get an idea of what´s going on. I bet half of you faggots never went down to the secret vault in the bank belonging to some Illuminati-guy either. The story was simple, find and put down the terrorist leader that bombed the train-station and other evil shit. Then it turns out at the end that the terrorist did so while being a stooge for the Illuminati. So what? If you played the actual game instead of rushing through it, it´s atleast 40-60 hours of gameplay.

So in short, it's one of the best games this generation and you're all a bunch of easily manipulated faggots for falling for the SJW-journalists and e-celebs.

>>15301519

As far as I'm aware it's the same game but they added a bunch of really lazy open world shit where you're sneaking around a suburb looking for ammo you don't need because you can just stealth instant kill everything.

>>15305016

Shit, I bought the game already because I thought it was couch co-op on Steam like EDF.

>>15301490

There were some things that this game did really well and I'd argue it's first acts were really strong when you actually gotta resource manage a bit and will settle for just temporarily slowing down an enemy to make a break for it. I still think it was really clever how you could hear the save point/safe house in the distance by Claire De Lune getting louder. They missed an opportunity to fuck with the player by having that song playing and purposely leading you into something bad

>>15288966

Koihime Enbu looks way better.

Who makes 2d AAA fighters anyway since sf3 or something?

>>15289025

Why nobody posted Skyrim yet and this is here?

It's not underrated it's shit. Also it did have decent online before certain updates. Mostly overrun by hackers with 1-shot guns as always.

>>15299991

Killing Floor 1.0 has the best ear rape menu music ever.

>>15305502

>tfw KF is dead

>tfw don't want to get KF2

This is truly bad.

>>15305143

You are 100% correct.

>>15305494

No you.

Genuinely thought this game would be more popular than it turned out to be, its CS but Tokyo-cyberpunk with a solid OST that encapsulates the mood perfectly.

There are many games I've dropped tons of horus on and you'd likely never have even heard of them, but most of those qualify as cult classics rather than straight-up underrated games.

N++ seems to be pretty unknown, which is sad since it's one of the better platformers out there. Too bad there's not much to talk about since the game is pretty simple.

>>15301341

Break Quest is the best arkanoid/breakout game and it's FREE, there's no excuse not to play it. While some concepts for maps repeat, it's still great.

>>15321912

How does it differ from N+?

>>15321939

I don't know, I played only N and N++. It uses widescreen space (more space on the sides), has a couple new enemies, impact trauma is now omnidirectional and not just if you fall down, also fucktons of secrets and colour schemes to unlock. Don't know how much of these were in N+. If you say that it's basically the game, then yeah, pretty much, but N++ is a lot smoother than N. It's also pretty easy to get it working with SSE too.

>>15321975

Sounds pretty good. Might have to give it a shot. I recall really enjoying n and N+.

just to make sure, N stands for ninja, right? That's what i always thought at least.

>>15322007

>N stands for ninja, right?

I think so, I don't know anything that makes sense. You're free to look anywhere you want, but I think the newest version out there is on a certain russian cs site. You can find SSE there too.

>>15322075

I enjoyed the beta. it was alright but it seemed like it would become repetitive fast.

>>15322075

Being able to stab through fences was neat.

>>15322819

They were selling this game back in a day in the newspaper kiosk on my way to school

>>15317805

I also found NeoTokyo's lack of success to be perplexing. As you said it had everything going for it to be a major hit, but for some reason it just didn't happen.

>>15322819

>Highest resolution is 1024x768

>Windowed mode doesn't capture the mouse

>Keys can only be rebound in a config file

I'll give it a miss.

>>15322819

Is hypnosis overpowered?

>>15322992

You can go higher in res through some config tweaking, has a couple downsides but nothing that would be worse than not having proper full screen

>>15322075

i unironically had a blast with survive. i'm still surprised the hate bandwagon for it grew so quickly. i got like 40 hours out of it and i got it for eighteen bucks so for me that's a fine deal. exploration was fun, and it had an actually good and tactile power arc, where when you start you're always hungry and thirsty and can't fight very well, and by the time the main story is done you're flipping motherfuckers around like big boss and have more food, water and milk than you ever needed. i also think it's funny that people got so butthurt over its completely useless microtransactions and apparently never realized that MGSV had way more unfriendly/jewish microtransactions

Doom 2016

Monster Hunter World.

/v/ gives these games much undeserved hate. Both are fun video games in the mediums darkest age.

>>15305494

God I wanna fuck that mouth so bad.

>>15301801

>>15323234

Deus Ex: MD was pretty good and improved quite a bit on HR gameplay wise and thematically, but the story wasn't quite as striking IMO. Never even made it to the gameplay of Mirror's Edge 2. Despite really enjoying the first, the whiny, obnoxious characters in 2 were extremely offputting.

>>15323236

My nigga.

I'm still hoping Iji gets announced as the final slot for Slap City.

>>15328334

You can thank the lead dev for that.

>>15323186

… I thought Dystopia had predated Neotokyo by a number of years.
