ITT: overrated """""gems"""""""
Nah, it's cool as fuck; and the only good game Silicon Knights ever made.
Fucking top tier atmosphere.
How is it overrated? I thought it was pretty good.
>this is a thread about "overrated underrated" games
fuck this board
ok
>>376799605
agreed, theres a good reason why the sanity effects is the only thing people remember from that game. i would have to go with jsrf. even though i like it, the 1st one is way better. wasnt a big fan of the open world direction
more like eternal dorkness amirite
absolute garbage
Literally every Dreamcast game, especially Shenmue
>>376799605
Gonna have to agree on this one. One of those games I was memed into buying.
>Dude it's like Resident Evil but 20x better!
Literally every Gamecube game, especially TTYD
>>376799605
May the rats eat your eyes.
>>376800102
>Shenmue
This
Yakuza is a great successor that does it way better.
>>376800170
>it's like metal gear solid but with ancient evils
>>376800193
anyone who says this has never played both games.

Blood Omen was just as good
>>376799605
Eternal Darkness was a decent 6.5/10 game. The sanity mechanic was just a gimmick with no real impact on gameplay, the combat was functional but boring hack and slash, and the magic system underutilized except for a few moments throughout the game and having to wait for your mana to recharge was tedious and pointless. Still, the story, characters, settings, music, and visuals are good enough to experience once.
Another overrated gem is Breakdown. Ugly visuals, terrible FPS controls and action, and samey enemies. The hand to hand combat is good though and so were some of the storytelling elements and the environment interactions, but the "10/10 this game is perfect" praise this game gets seems to completely ignore the bad parts.

t.shencuck
enjoy that scam i mean shenmue 3 ;^)
the gameplay is just so fucking boring i couldnt even finish it. its a shame because the story and characters were interesting.
>>376800170
I emu'd it after 6 anons quoted me in some lovecraft thread saying it was really good. It was okay at best imo.
>>376800674
what even makes you think i prefer one over the other?
>>376800715
I can't even fucking get it to work on pc. Even with dpfix I crash in like 15 minute intervals.
>>376800715
Wish I could beat this game. Game fucking froze after the museum and been bugged out since.
>>376799605
The sanity meter was a cool as hell of a concept but it should have played more important role in the game. There was also something about the general mood of the game that was lacking compared to other horror games.
basically a shitter version of psi ops
>>376801252
>basically a better version of psi-ops
ftfy
>>376801286
yeah, no the game is really boring. piss poor stealth gameplay and not being able to change your abilities on the fly is a pain
>>376799605
>>376799605
This was an amazing story to go through. Almost every description of something you examined was well written. Every voice actor did superb, the OST was fantastic and PARGON.
It definitely could use polish but I'd put it as one of the best gamecube exclusives. It's a damn shame nothing was done with the series after it.
>>376801376
No, Psi-Ops was a trash game with no depth or variety in which you can easily steamroll through the game by just using the levitate power. The terrible cliff-hanger ending just sealed the deal on that poor man's second sight.
>>376801634
yeah because second sight had SOOOO much more depth and variety
>>376801429
>6 hours long
>shitty characters
>okay story
>bad gameplay
I never understood the appeal. I will give it that it's 10x better than Cross because Cross didn't end soon enough
>>376801680
Yes, it's good you finally realised the error in your ways.
>>376800715
