There are some obscure good games/stories that somehow didn't quite succeed as they should.

Also those that we like and the reason for it.

THE HORNS OF JERICHO

Anyway, Folklore is a game that should have been huge but wasn't.

I know it became a cult classic, but the original devs went on to make garbage like The Evil Within.

I beat this game in one sitting back when it came out.

In retrospect it wasnt very good, but the possession mechanic was really cool and I remember the girls looking pretty attractive.

Yeah I put the repack of that piece of shit. Toke the bait. At least I didn't buy that cancer.

Maybe I'll wait to see how far I get until suicide is an option.

Jericho had big potential, but the 1. corridor levels and 2. lack of multiplayer ended up killing it. The setting is very interestig and reminiscent of Shin Megami Tensei, only done BETTER.

With a multiplayer option, it would have beaten Left 4 Dead to the punch (well it plays more closely to Killing Floor).

The end was attrocious and boring as well, and just went to show that two characters were just flat out useless in combat situations. But you are right about multiplayer co-op. It also needed more bits about the gun toting pastor. He was fucking amazing.

I played it at release, the ending didn't strike me as particularly offensive. It was the hook for a sequel they were sure to come soon.

I remember looking for some starcraft-like game, and found this. It was amazing.

Also, evil within felt like grinding, with good looking monsters, but painfully grinding

Folklore was that PS3 game where you pokemoned mythical creatures by waggling the controller, right? It was forgotten mostly because it wasn't very good. Horribly grindy, and the gameplay was slow. Loading times every time you opened the mythmon list. The designs of the two main characters was all it had going for it. And if I recall right, it had some puzzle bosses that required you to use specific mons on specific parts at the right time. Yet when you had a whole bunch of them and it wasn't clear at all, it was tedious as hell to check each one that seemed like it would work.

For a sim city type game released in 1996 its charming as hell and i wish it could be remade now without being made into a shitty mobile app

I spent my childhood playing ever rts I could find on any website and store that even mentioned them.

Dark Reign stands out among classic RTS thanks to it's customization of unit orders. It had a bit of a slow response for me, but it was incredible how well you could customize squads in terms of what they should and shouldn't do.

Also has an excellent built in editor and map maker with some very diverse battlefield possibilities.

Bravo sir. You have good taste.
