Its all up to peoples taste in gaming.

Some games I genuenly  liked even though I wasn't supposed to: Earth Defense Force, Deadly Premonition, Eat Lead: Matt Hazard, Sonic Unleashed

Some games I really hated: Castlevania LoS, God of War 3, Gears of War 2, Call of Duty Black ops

Its no secret I hate scripted story driven linear games, but like unique gaming experiences even if not polished...

Other people see things differently, so threads like this can't really be used as facts...but its nice to hear other peoples tastes in gaming regardless.

You just reminded me I have to go back and finish Nier. I have no idea why I put it down for a while, it's definitely one of the most unique action RPGs of this gen.

I don't know why a lot of people gush over Eternal Sonata and call it "underrated". boring story, uninteresting characters and a combat system so easy it's pointless. and don't get me started on the pretentious ending. Not the worst RPG I've played, it's just medicore. For shame, the music and the visuals were really good though.

Bah, Maxwell's post made me buy my 3rd game today... bastard. >.<

War Tech was fun. Inifinite Discovery was meh worthy...

I want Battle Fantasia

Hitting the nail on the head with this one and basically agree with your list too on games you liked that were "bad" and which you didn't like cause it was linear, scripted, and all the same.

I spout off my feelings and tastes so people with similar tastes as me know what to expect.

I can't comment on all these but I can commit that you are dead wrong on these two.  The force Unleashed II is awful layered on top of awful.  It might be decent if you get it for $20 or so dollars, but paying any more than that and it's a waste.  It doesn't cater to Star Wars fans because it rapes the license at every possible opportunity and it doesn't cater to action fans because there's simply *much* better out there.

As for Eternal Sonata, you're right that it's beyond gorgeous and the music is wonderful but the game itself blows.  It has been a very long time since I played it, but I remember my three biggest complains were 1) they give you a crap load of money in the first hour and you never get to use it, 2) Forte Fermata was one of the worst dungeons I've ever played, and 3) the bow chick was ridiculously overpowered.  In one attach she could heal your entire party and kill an enemy.

-edit-

Actually, found mini rants on Eternal Sonata.

eternal sonata got great reviews so i dont see how it was underrated, people just didnt give a damn about it

I would wait until the game is less than dirt cheap. The dog's death is nowhere near as funny as in fable 2

Thanks, badgenome. You have great taste and are always right, so I will do what you say.

Meh, I base how much I like a game around how much fun I have with them. I've played games that have been borderline broken and I was easliy able to get some fun out of them.

Dead to Rights and Dark Void aren't broken, so they have already gone up and above that factor by adding some interesting gameplay elements and some other pluses (soundtrack, artstyle or whatever).

Also, like I said, Infinite Undiscovery is a stupid name, I had a slight aneurysm by just typing it.

BlazBlue is better, but I do prefer Battle Fantasia's art style.

I'm not a reviewer, I'm just a dude, a dude on a mission and that mission is to get people to play the lost and the damned, the fallen and down trodden and hopefully keep the C to B grade game alive. I am 65 and Below Man.

I don't get the Eternal Sonata hate, what's wrong with the game? It's probably one of the best ones on my list. I'll just add that I'm not a huge JRPG guy, so that's why I place more credit on ease of use over complexity.

I also agree with Disolitude, everythings based around a persons taste in games and some people may not share those tastes, but that's why I specifically mention that most of the titles should be bought at a lower price, rented or at least be demoed before purchase. Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, GTA IV and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are horrible games, but I'm sure that many people will disagree.
