Title: games that are "good" but are actually like REALLY GOOD
Post by: strongbad on February 12, 2016, 10:47:09 PM
like you know duh everyone knows this game is good but then you play it and you're like sweet jesus this is really good

RIVER CITY RANSOM
probably one of the best coop games i've played. kind of hard without a walkthrough, but seriously for its time that game was fucking revolutionary
it's an open world beat em up with well done RPG elements and weapons and even some minor platforming. and the game is flawless in coop. REALLY GOOD

GTA V
Rogue Legacy
Okami
Uncharted 2
Shadow of the Colossus

basically you mean games that you feel are underrated or exceed expectations despite being considered good right

Child of Light is the only recent game that surpassed my initial expectations of it being a generally "good" game. I love that game

Mother 2 & 3
Shadow of the Colussus

I also feel this way about the half life series, but i understand that one could be easily contested, especially in 2016 lol

So far feel that way with Witcher 3 as well

I know I talk about spelunky a lot but damn that game is amazing

Probably one of the best games I've ever played and my appreciation only grows even after ~1500 deaths

I need to play it period I hear it's really good

However I don't like how you get better each time you die. Makes it feel kind of cheap

I have a weird example.
I heard blazblue was supposed to be good, but when I first played it, I was underwhelmed

It took a few more times, and now it's in my top fighting games

You don't get much better, and it's up to chance as to what class you'll get to be each time, so that puts a good spin on it. Also you die CONSTANTLY so if no progress carried through the game would be p. frustrating.

my favorite games are the ones where you die constantly lol
actually stops being frustrating when you form the right perspective of the game being a learning experience with winning being a distant goal

though i've had some deaths in nethack where i had to put the game down for a week or two because i was so mad

that's the whole point tho. the whole game is built around that mechanic.
