Flawed games that you love anyway

[Leynos]

I won't list dump this time.  Depending on the success of the thread will post more later. Right now.

Gungrave games. They're misunderstood by some. They are meant to be simple but also highly rewarding of skill. Not as in-depth as a DMC by any means. But a similar idea of the more stylish you are in combat the higher the score. That is the idea to chain attacks and get a high score. Arcade ideals. I love the first on PS2. Overdose has issues. GORE I adore. it launched with some problems but the game has been patched to hell and back to make it so much better. Switch version has new costumes and characters.  I love GORE. I platinumed it. Not saying it's perfect even after all the patches and fixes. It's still a simple game that is meant to be played on higher difficulties. It can be dull if not playing to the style of the game and it's easy to not to. So I get some of the hate. If you know how to style the game and chain attacks it's a blast for arcade and PS2 era shooter fans. Anime came after the PS2 games. It's a slow burn of mostly anime mob stuff.

Series has fallen to mostly obscurity even with GORE coming out. Even tho the creator is the same as Trigun. It never took off the way that series did. It was a modest success on PS2 getting a sequel and anime. RED Entertainment developed them known for making the SEGA Sakura Wars series. They also did Lords of Thunder on PC Engine. Thousand Arms PS1. Nostalgia on DS and a lot more. Most associate them with Sakura Wars. I just think of Gungrave. A flawed, simple but fun as hell series. Esp 1 and GORE. (VR game not played as that does look awful)
