To be fair, it is mostly me brushing aside the idea that people post titles in this thread because it's not particularly talked about wherever it is they are - certain titles, simply because they are not as well-known as a Final Fantasy game, does not constitute "overlooked" or "underrated" status. >_> Like, the only reason why anyone would consider the original Valkyrie Profile game for the PSX "overlooked" is because it was in limited print, and so it became very rare. Yet, VP: Lenneth is a thing. There was VP2, even, so obviously people cared enough about the first game for it to warrant further games.
If you really must go and say "thread is being ruined or warped" then just dump it all on me and call it a day
Wasn't that the point? I'm pretty sure I meant overlooked by some gamers. It doesn't mean the game you should post should be infamous, or something like that. Just a game that can be overlooked, or games that were pretty underrated that they really deserve to be. I mean, even if I love video games, that doesn't mean I have the time to look for games underneath famous games. Even I miss out some obvious titles that I would just come to know a few years after...even maybe more. I mean, there were also heaps of platforming games I missed out last gen, since there wasn't much any ads, and since GF doesn't update quite easily(some games aren't included).
So yes, VProfile can be considered overlooked if some people didn't even bother to look for it, unless they played the sequels, they will probably look for it. It's like saying Xenogears was overshadowed by Final Fantasy VII, and yet most people I know doesn't even know what Xenogears is. All they know is Xenosaga, and no...they don't even know Xenoblade. Games like these can be considered overlooked for some gamers because they were overshadowed by more famous games. You could also tell that from some games Tales series, and Atelier. Metro 2033 was also overlooked by a lot of people in 2010, and people only knew about it during the Steam ad for the sequel, Metro 2034. Sure you could say you know a lot of people who knows it, but that's just you and people "you know" that really
WOULD know it. What about people who doesn't? People who were busy, they would just settle for games from ads/demos, or just a famous franchise instead of looking for awesome games that and wouldn't bother to look for undiscovered gems, which the majority of people in planet earth is.
I'm not saying you should post games that seemingly not a lot of people would know. Just post games like for example the game is in a franchise, and most people know about the games, but there was one game that was overlooked. That's it, just post that game that people wouldn't bother to look unless they were hardcore fans of that certain franchise. Like how Ace Combat games were pretty decent and famous then, but now most of their games are overlooked by most gamers.
Again, it doesn't need to be overly overlooked. Just consider some titles that you think most people just don't know about.
