Why are there no "hidden gems" in vidya anymore? What's

>>385880645
it's not that hidden since dragon slayer was a pretty popular series, but faxanadu remains one of my favorite games from early childhood and a game that probably even a lot of people who had an nes never played. i really enjoyed it a lot.

Does XCOM count?

i think they had this game in an arcade cabinet back at the ice hockey rink i played at when i was like 10 years old, i probably spent like close to $100 on that cabinet. i had no idea what i was doing but my character ended up being one of the top ten on the machine just from me playing so much.

This game kind of went under the radar even though I have over a hundred hours in multiplayer. It's a shame because it has some of the best AI I've ever seen, and it's pretty innovative for an RTS game. There are no units, just a free market economy which fluctuates heavily based on the supply and demand of the player companies. So it's all about trying to monopolize resource production to out-jew all the other players. Also, there's a black market you can buy stuff on to sabotage other players anonymously, but if they have a goon squad on the tile you try to sabotage, everyone finds out you're a dirty rat.

What if they're hidden gems because you haven't heard of them?

>>385881019
I was really interested in this, but I figured that its the kind of game to get stale after you've played it once. What gives it replayablity?

There are hidden gems, you just can't find them because they're hidden. By definition they shouldn't be easy to find.

Though what some of you people consider hidden "gems" is absolute trash.

>>385880645
Because the only shit that gets released is AAA trash or indie garbage.

Because games blow up and get popular followings with the internet, so the opportunity of missing a game on its release really isn't a thing anymore.

Does Alan Wake count? I feel like I never see anyone talk about it. If not that then probably Hotel Dusk, Lego Racers or Alien Infestation.

>>385881176
Multiplayer, randomly generated maps with different resource scarcities, resource prices start out differently each time you start a game. So all of these things force you to adapt your strategy based on which HQ type (they all use different resources to upgrade/support life). There are also 3 different biomes in the game so far: mars, ceres, and Io. Each one has different resources and terrain. For example: water is plentiful on Ceres, but virtually nonexistent on Io. Since it's one of the main life support resources, it leads to vastly different playstyles

>>385880978
I honestly can vouch for this.

Friends and I got into it since we liked space engineers, the exploration gets cranked way up for this game. It gets updated nearly every day too. I haven't played in a month or two now, but if you love autistic space building check it out I guess.

>>385881304
Go ahead and name a hidden gem for every current console. You can't because each fucking console gets 3 games worth playing a year, at max.

Interplanetary is like DEFCON only empirically better. Everyone plays as their own planet in a solar system. You build up infrastructure on your planet- research new tech- drain you planet of all its natural resources. Then you fire salvos of rail cannon and other fun stuff at your enemies - but the fun part is that you have to aim the guns manually and do some mental guesswork about how gravity of nearby planets will influence your shot, or slingshot projectiles around planets to increase their impact - super fun with friends (sadly the online community is nonexistent).

Naming some hidden gems with a quick blurb

NEO Scavenger - apocalyptic survival open world done very fucking right
Thumper - Audiosurf spends a night on shrooms watching David Lynch movies
Door Kickers - Tacticool operators kill turrurists in top-down planning game
Duskers - Drive drones around derelict spaceships and try to figure out why everyone is fucking dead and everything is trying to kill you
HELLDIVERS - twin stick shooter with amazingly fun coop in which you spread DEMOCRACY to filthy aliens
My Summer Car - to be fair this was FOTM back when it came out but if you weren't in those threads you didn't hear about it most likely
Enjoy a Finnish summer of getting drunk, building your own car from scratch, piece by piece, saunas, drunks, loud shitty music, swearing, and pissing
TIS-100 and SHENZHEN I/O - autistically code things to solve puzzles and feel like either a massive nerd or a complete moron
theHunter: Call of the Wild - walk around an amazingly beautiful wilderness and hunt, honestly I'm not even into hunting and I love this game because of how comfy and beautiful it is

It's true though. 8th gen games are either AAA games with $100 million put into marketing, or Early Access indie games on a shoestring budget. The mid-budget market, the normal source for "hidden gems", is gone. Just look at how quickly licensed games have disappeared.

I'll second NEO Scavenger and Duskers. Duskers can get fucking intense too. The way you described theHunter is sort of how I feel about UnReal World minus the graphics. It's so comfy getting thrown into this Iron age world and not only hunting, but crafting your own clothing out of hides, preserving meat for the winter, and collecting ingredients from the wild to cook with.

It's like saying Factorio is obscure

Factorio is the highest rated game on Steam I'm pretty sure

>>385883665
Which is pretty funny, considering when it was still in early access / released, no one really cared for it, what happened, why is it so popular right now?

the mods made the game even better and the community is working towards improving every single aspect of the game alongside with the devs who never stopped working and improving the game as well.

arx fatalis

I found rimworld before entering Steam. Real lucky to get the game in the vanilla stage and think about the possibilities and then, some months later when the community hub was made all the ideas that I had were put into the game.

>>385880645
In the age of the internet and social media, games get far more coverage. It's less likley for a good game to not really be forgotten or given no coverage. As such, relatively obscure games aren't gonna have the same level of such as they did in, say, the PS2 era.

If you mean in terms of quality, then it's because you're older and more jaded and are getting bored with the hobby. I suggest taking a break from video games for a few years and exploring some new hobbies. If or when you get back into games, they'll likely feel fresher.

>>385884839

Do you know what the word "hidden" means?

I'd say that Titanfall 2 is the biggest hidden gem on this gen machines, if compared to when it came out and how it succeeded. Pretty cheap now too.
But to actually hidden gems for current gen I'd say World of Final Fantasy if you need some comfy JRPG with a fan service overdose. Was maybe mentioned once in E3 and no one noticed it then, or after it. Just my opinion of course.
Other one is Digimon games that have started to appear, more Japanese stuff.
West has Tearaway, Plantsvs. Zombies GW2, Mad Max, Mother Russia Bleeds,
Another one is basically anything by Vanillaware.

Dwelling to older games, some OG xbox games come to mind such as Bloodrayne, Urban Chaos, Shellshock '67, Armed and Dangerous, Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death, Yager, Brute Force. Some of those are multiplats
On PS2 there are The Punisher, The Red Star, Second Sight, Digimon Rumble Arena 2, Knights of the Temple, Star Wars Episode 3.

Not sure how hidden unity of command is, but I found it fun- managed to get ~40 hours out of the campaign. plays like a classic tabletop war game only much prettier and streamlined. It's more of a puzzle game than anything else- with seeing how quickly you can blitz into enemy territory to cut their fuel, how long you can hold off an attack without supply lines, what approaches are optimal. you can take it slow and miss out on requisition for much needed units later on in the campaign, or play it risky. Really entertaining.

CrossCode is a hidden gem considering its lack of presence on /v/ and it's also quite modern.

Last gen gave us Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity for our pals in the PAL regions).

Might as well add my own to this.

Infra (PC) - Fun puzzle adventure game in the source engine, setting is a city with horrible infrastructure problems and you going around solving the mystery of it while not trying to die in a tunnel collapse or power plant explosion. No combat though.

In Virbis Virtus (PC) - Puzzle adventure game where you're a mage. The game requires a mic to cast spells by speaking the spell lines.

Tumbleseed (Switch) - If you ever played that Taito arcade game "Ice cold beer" It's like that. Control a bar from each end independently to roll a ball up a hill while avoiding holes and enemies. Has roguelike elements.

Sorcery! series (PC) - Basically a choose your own adventure book with a unique artstyle and slightly more gameplay than a book. You play the hero going to reclaim the crown that allows whoever wears it to rule. Choose your direction, what to say to people, how to spend your money, and how to cast spells at just about any time. There are 4 parts, but the first 2 are the same game.

No you just have to pure skill it unless you get a wand, bomb, or frost nova. All the bosses have patterns you just have to get used to it.

Other then that...
If you are playing knight get 1 point in DEF early and actually use the block ability.
Wizard you just need a good ranged spell to spam
Berserker just spam jump

The best item in the game is unlimited jumps i never give that up no mater the stats

This game would have actually been good if they just reworked the entire plot to not fucking blow up the incredibly beautiful and interesting city in the second mission. It should have been way more subtle with its political overtones. That and the combat needed some advanced mechanics or something, it was so fucking easy.

>After having gained a new artist, Łukasz Piskorz, the game's graphics were polished up from pixel art to high-quality 2D art. This change was done not only to make it look better, but also to distinguish it from Gunpoint.
>Reviers praised the game's overall design concept and the alikeness with Gunpoint. Though, people still differentiated them, where Phil Savage from PC Gamer stated that Ronin is "the schlocky B-movie to Gunpoint's more cerebral stealth-puzzling".

Nah, the sequel's just a visual novel. A kinetic one at that so you don't even do anything but read a short little story about some idol joining their school. Kinda wish I'd have bothered to read the page before buying as soon as I saw there was a sequel.

Didn't know there was a fighting game. Might look into that.

If I wrote a story with that fungus in it I'd make it so that said fungus were like a naturally occurring delicious chewing gum. Like a seed that would require being chewed on before being thrown into the ground to grow another individual.

It would appear in different flavors as well.

Does Zone of the Enders count as a hidden gem? I mean, everyone owned it because of the MGS2 demo disc, and everyone loves 2, but nobody seems to ever have anything to say about ZoE1 nevermind anything good. But I love that short little game. It's not as good as 2 but it's enjoyable enough for what it is.

Sunless Sea for a heavily story and narrative-driven trading game.

Domina for Sega Genesis style Gladiator Trainer simulator.

Project Zomboid for Dreamcast style perfection in the 'Zombie Survival' Genre. Been developed for over 6 years.

Prison Architect: The game Rimworld stole all their graphics from.

>>385895303
None of those are hidden gems. Everyone on /v/ knows about PZ and PA. SS is talked about a lot, and Domina is unironically to SJW-y for me to like even though the gameplay is sublime

>>385895481

Games that have tens of thousands of copies and are far from main stream. I am glad you know about them though, my pedantic and arrogant friend.

Protip: If you can't get over the post-modern twists of Domina's bare-bones as fuck 'plot' and overcome the patriarchy with the best ending then I'm sorry, there's no hope for you. (((they))) have gotten to you and now everything in your life is political.

I didn't get the best ending the first time, but the second time around I just bought slaves with extra money, trained their AI to 100, gave them basic starting gear, then released them. I also edited the sprites so my Domina was a qt 3.14 lizard girl. It would've been a better game if it was just an endless gladiator simulator instead of "men are stupid dumb pigs unlike me who is doing exactly everything they are doing haha"
Plus I can't even hire a bunch of sexy young man slaves to have bacchanalian orgies with. What bullshit is this?

It was just such a nice concept but i think it would be better maybe in a 4 player coop or something. Also the mathematics you need to do in the end when you craft stuff is annoying. You quickly realize that you will run out of the basic resources in no time when you reach TECH 2 and the only way to get them effizient is by looting stuff and recycle. But your inventory is so small that it will get into a grind fest very fast. Always stuffing all the shit into your backpack and the monorail and head back to your base to load off and then you realize you wasted time and food on 40 metal that just evaporates when you build a new reactor core.

Hell i even got stressed while writing it.

This is a hidden gem. So many people only know about the PSone game when the sequel is fucking fantastic in every damn way. And I never see this actually discussed on /v/, at least not for long. Klonoa threads never reach bump limit. I bet almost nobody on /v/ has played this and it's a damn shame.

Been a little while since I played,but I don't remember having a ton of trouble with it. Honestly I spent the majority of my time just using the hammer though,the spin attack combined with whatever it was that let you regen mana faster was pretty fuckin great.

Have you tried the new F2P game though? Headshots aren't even a thing anymore in Unchained.

I don't think Persona is about imparting life lessons

Story and music aren't the only things about a GAME, either.
A lot of people play games for silly things, like gameplay.

And P5's gameplay is fuckin' good
Tons of improvements and new elements that make it much more enjoyable as a game than its predecessors.

This. There are no hidden gems anymore because all the good games are actually getting attention, which is sad considering how many few good games are being made now.

Considering how fucking easier it is to publish a game now, and how fucking shitty the internet is now, it's more like they're being buried under a massive torrent of shit.

>>385910912

Not him but I wouldn't recommend that game to anyone, the RNG is too much of a deal breaker and there's far too little content in the game with each dungeon only having a handful of unique enemies and a few lines of lore.

Not sure how hidden it really is but Treasures of the Deep was pretty baller

It's okay to hate it but I hope you appreciate that thousands of people have no problem with the RNG because they bothered learning the game and how to succeed in it rather than just dismissing it out of hand because it doesn't contain "Press X not to die" gameplay.

>Why are there no "hidden gems" in vidya anymore?

>>385912316
>have no problem with the RNG
It's RNG about which dungeons are available for you to pick, which trinket reward you'll get, and the combination of monsters you'll get. That I can deal with but once I surprised a group of enemies on the cove and they got two consecutive turns while focusing in one single character, which of course died, that shit broke the straw for me.

Don't diminish the game's failures, this fanbase is getting as cancerous as the soulsfags.

here's a list of games that get overlooked most of the time.

war in the north - fantastic online and couch coop. system linked the shit out of this game with a friend.
both lara croft games, temple of osiris and guardian of light - same as above. great coop games.
asscreed chronicles china - an asscreed where you actually need to stealth and some sections are challenging. fighting against more than one enemy mostly ends up in you dying.
sunset overdrive - fluid movement, nice animations and fun boss fights. solid 20-40 hours of fun.

Don't diminish your failures.

>>385912771
>Sounds like you just fucking suck at risk management.
You don't control when the enemies get surprised, you can't do anything during their turn and their turn is heavily based around rng rather than speed, so no it has nothing to do with my ability.

You keep staining the image of the fanbase with your useless babble.

So in short you were in the beginning of the game, had a shitty team and someone died.

Shocking.

>>385913727
So your character died and you decided to become a bitch about it? Unlucky RNG can happen. I went through the game, and I didn't for once lose a character for every other reason than the fact I didn't prepare well enough and became greedy.

>>385913821
Yes but not because I sucked, but because the game is RNG reliant.

>So your character died and you decided to become a bitch about it?
Because of the RNG? Hell yes, if I lose I want it to be because I was shitty at something not because the game was poorly designed.

>>385914132
They both seem equal at first glance, but when you look closer you see that COMOC is a STR fag and NAWAN is a DEX fag.

Furthermore, COMOC is fighting to defend four bitches, NAWAN has to protect six wenches.

I think this motivation will grant NAWAN victory.
