underrated games thread

sell me on it. what should I look for in this game ?

Furi was an absolute gem of a game. Minimal story, pure gameplay. Anyone know similar games??

>Furi was an absolute gem of a game. Minimal story, pure gameplay.
The first sentence doesn't agree with the second.

Furi is overrated as fuck by the people who shill for it.

This. It's also a boss rush like Furi.
>>387085579
Please kill yourself.

>>387085532
Ah that was just my personal opinion. I only play video games for the gameplay I just can't stand the story and cutscenes in a game i mostly skip them. Furi was a great game, the combat was amazing and the story was kept to a minimum.

Play better games faggot. Furi is mediocre as fuck.

>>387086242
While the walking segments were unnecessarily long, they weren't THAT long. just leave the autowalk on.

You're obviously talking about pic related, because fury only has 3-5 minute waits between bosses.

And I mean, the talking only lasts for about 30-60 seconds, but you're right about it otherwise.

are you retarded? the entire game is about fighting bosses and the walking lasts for at most a couple minutes of cool scenery and music

>>387084449
Worth a pirate. Definitely wouldn't pay for something like that though.

Though it's popular, Risk Of Rain needs more love from all of the gaming community.

As well as the creators 2nd game, DEADBOLT. It's just as fun, with an amazing OST.

>>387087242
why not?

>>387084531
boss rush with good music, good gameplay, unique fights, and the story isn't intrusive
and it's also not easy

>>387085953
What does Fallen add? I played the initial Malicious and enjoyed it a lot but didn't realize there was an updated version. Or is it a proper sequel?

>>387087310
>the story isn't intrusive

They literally force segments upon you in which you simply walk while another character talks.

>>387087391
6 bosses, spear isn't useless, pursuit mode, new weapons, and most importantly it fixes the awful camera.
Lorewise it also wraps up the story.

>>387087521
do you know what pacing is? a game can't be one never ending fight
what better time is there for some story in the very short breaks between fights

>>387087579
Huh, how much is it? Might buy it if its cheap enough

>people complaining about the walking segments
I understand the walking segments getting annoying on later playthroughs, but that's why speedrun mode is a thing.
If anyone actually picked the easiest difficulty they should an hero.

On topic Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds

More like "relatively obscure games that are vastly overrated by the 20 people who've played them" thread.

>>387087701
30 bucks. I should mention that fallen is the second rerelease, with Rebirth being first.
In total you have about 19 bosses.
>Inb4 some underaged calling me a shill for a completely unknown company

>>387087804
have you even played furi? or are you on of the retards who bitches about games they haven't played

>>387087674
So you agree that it's intrusive?

>>387087920
Rebirth was the vita version, yeah? I remember the release only had something like 6 or 8 bosses so thats a pretty good improvement.

>>387087934
I'm one of the retards, to tell you the truth. I watched a Let's Play of it.

>>387087937
how is it intrusive? it adds story to sections of the game where else nothing is going on, the purpose of the walking sections isn't story, it's to give the player a small break
it would be intrusive if it pulled you out mid boss fight for story

>>387088087
>how is it intrusive?
because you can't skip it and it gets in the way of playing the game

I think he's saying that you can't say it has minimal story if its PURE gameplay. Pure implies there is nothing but gameplay, like most competitive multiplayer games.

>>387088864
they were barely above arkham shit and all the bosses had a grand total of 4 different attack types between all of them

they were shit senpai

>>387087062
Alien Soldier is basically a series of boss with brief platforming segments in between. (The platforming mostly gets shorter as you progress through the game.)

Joe and Mac for SNES is also kind of like that.

Titan Souls

Kirby Super Star Ultra has several fun boss rush modes with different gimmicks.

>>387089202
>barely above arkham shit
WOOOOO WEEEEE
I'M TRIGGERED

>>387088307
It doesn't break the flow. It rather serves as a moment for the player to catch breath after the previous fight and to build tension (and boss rush removes it so it isn't a problem on subsequent playthroughs)

>>387087276
I hope RoR2 comes out soon

>>387089202
>4 different attacks
did you play the game?

>>387084449
I'd say Furi was pretty fairly rated. It was very good, but also pretty flawed. I look forward to whatever the developers make next, and I hope they don't make some of the same mistakes that they did with Furi, I think they have a lot of potential.

>>387085448
The minimal story in Furi was pretty bad in my opinion, not because games need to have an abundance of story, but because the story that was there was not at all engaging and you had to walkthrough it, at least on the first playthrough. I felt embarrassed listening to the narration at times, felt like something I would have come up with myself when I was fourteen. God Hand is the right way to do a gameplay focused game, the cutscenes are skippable, and even if you don't want to skip them they're all just short little set-ups for the next area while also being very entertaining.

why did you choose to say "not intrusive" when the story in this game is a perfect example of one you can't avoid?

>>387084449
I think the walking sections could've been done better. Some are amazing, like the section before the Burst and the Song as it really sets the tone of your opponent. Others like the Edge just have you walk through a generic landscape that doesn't really say a whole lot about your upcoming opponent.

>>387090978
>It doesn't break the flow. It rather serves as a moment for the player to catch breath after the previous fight and to build tension

but you're stuck on rails listening to some guy ramble. it breaks the flow by not being player driven. some people only need a few seconds to "catch their breath", not a forced walk in the park

You're not allowed to post in this thread if you haven't beaten Bernard.

What are some other games based around boss fights and music?

The big four are mentioned in >>387087062

It was awful fighting while fighting tor

Necrovision and its stand alone expansion.

how can you claim to have beaten the game when you haven't beaten what is essentially every boss on furier in a single fight?

>>387093689
Wait, is he an unlockable superboss or just an additional DLC boss?
Big difference there, m8

CrossCode is alright.

>final phase of bernard
>mfw that ost kicks in
Don't why the fuck they locked Bernard behind DLC though, he should have been in the main game.

>>387093461
easily worth it, it's like what 5 bucks for 2 more bosses (you unlock the extra boss after you beat The Flame, I actually like that he's a surprise extra you get in the DLC without knowing you bought it)?

How much is the full game? like 20 bucks or something without a sale?

at 10 bosses base game that's like 2 bucks a boss, so if you have to bump that to $2 for the 1st dlc boss and then $3 for the extra DLC boss I'd say its very worth it for that last fight

>>387093773
Unfortunately Bernard only came out with the DLC but indie titles go on sale often so if you think 5 bucks is steep for 2 more bosses you could always wait for a DLC sale

>>387084449
I'm 100% sure GameBakers will make a Furi 2 no joke. Especially since it got a lot of public attention even if it was short
>>387088489
But Furis story wasn't bad it was good to the point were you kinda get the gist of it but it makes you want more of it

>>387094584
>2 more bosses
>One more fight

Ah, so he's still a hidden bonus superboss after all. That's all I needed.

>>387085953
Somebody give me the low-down on this game. I've beaten furi and now I want more

>>387094689
It's not really hidden

>>387087062
I'd say titan souls, the whole game is nothing but boss fights.

>>387091813
I don't think you understand what that word means. I'll give you a hint.
Intrusive =/= mandatory

Insurgency. Amazing shooter, best shooter I've ever played. Last I checked, it's $2.50 on steam. You won't regret buying it.

>>387096592
Insurgency and red orchestra 2 are the last good multiplayer shooters

Curse of being a early PS3 exclusive I guess. It is much more casual but has plenty of fun physics based puzzles.
The best way to play it is on PC now with the "Ultimate" version.

The bosses can get pretty tedious and some levels aren't great. It's mostly improved on in episodes 4-6. Plus it eventually gets a cool light/dark mechanic that makes for some neat timing based puzzles.

>>387095909
Pretty sure they were talking about the close up melee sections, when their HP is orange, in which case they aren't really incorrect.

>>387087521
You can press a button and it will autowalk while you go jerk off in kitchen getting more gamer fuel for you.

>>387091846
I especially liked the Burst's section for how the robot scans you and gives a little insight into the stranger. Nigger's heart had like, 8bpm.

Oh shit also totally forgot
>You build buildings out in the world and shit, some of them to help you access other areas, or do things like get a vehicle from the police (anything you have unlocked) or build a giant bridge to access a whole area
