What game or game series do you wish more people would play?

[Breadbassket]

It's almost a trope in video games where a title comes along that is critically praised and acclaimed but it just doesn't get attention from a wider audience or a lot of sales for some reason. What experiences or franchises do you wish were played more?

Tyranny. In the world of CRPGs, Obsidian is pretty well known for their Pillars of Eternity games. But their abandoned bastard child Tyranny is much more interesting and fleshed out in terms of writing and worldbuilding. Only downsides are that it's much shorter and the setting is quite unusual for CRPGs. That might be why it's not so popular.

Wishing more people would play a series you like in current day is definitely a monkey's paw situation.

Maybe a better question for users would be which game series they used to like that they wish fewer people would've played.

None, I like my stuff being niche and obscure so retards don't ruin it causing other people to hate it or bypass like a lot of shit now i'm sure most people avoid because of obnoxious fans

 

[Testacles Maximus]

Amnesia.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I agree with the pessimistic responses but in spirit of answering the question, Hotel Dusk. I really wish it became popular enough to complete the intended trilogy. Even a remaster would be great.

Okay, that's all fine, reasonable, and hell- I agree with you, but you are here on a niche website called Kiwi Farms. Share your tastes faggots.

One game that would be nice if it had a boost in players in my region is Dota 2. I see a lot of the same players in the skill level I play. I doubt a boost in players would change the community culture much.

Cubivore on the Gamecube was a hidden gem. Would have loved to have seen it get at least one sequel to improve on what was already there.

Also the Gex series. The N64 port of Gex: Enter the Gecko was the first game I ever played, so the games have some sentimental value to me. There was going to be a Gex 4 on PS2 but it got cancelled. Would have loved to have gotten just one more entry in the series.

I wish FEWER people would play Xenoblade, my gatekeeping efforts were all for naught after they released the weeb-bait Xenoblade 2 and now trannies shit it all up. I can't actually think of anything I want more people playing, maybe Nier Replicant so that Square would see the series as more than just a fluke (Automata) and actually release a sequel that isn't a mobile phone gacha game (Re-Incarnation)

Any of the games highly rated by collectors simply for being rare. Especially Gotcha Force and Battalion Wars.

I had people offer to buy Battalion Wars from me, but it was fun to have around just to show people who were convinced it was one of the best games on the cube, only for them to play it and find it to be utter shit.


In the spirit of the thread. Syndicate (the EA FPS), Far Cry 3, and James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing.

These games all had amazing co-op modes that nobody would play with me, and still don't.

Syndicate in particular was so brutal and the weapons so much fun to fire, and the missions were all very cyberpunk with missions like stealing servers from rival companies under the guise of a negotiation. You'd then unlock new tech for your weapons that made them all feel unique. Far Cry 3 had you playing as a group of horrible people that hated each other but worked together anyway. The way loot was tiered by storage device was fun. eg. Hard drive > flash drive, but took longer to unlock. Everything or Nothing had you playing as junior agents trying to earn 00 rank. I forget the story, but I think it was set before the events of the single player, and set up the events of the tutorial mission.

These were custom built, stand alone co-op modes, and in some cases (especially Syndicate) were better than the single player of the games they were attached to, but some people don't even know they exist.

It's decent imo, just way too fucking difficult. It's the kind of game that needs cheats or save states to salvage.

Unfortunately DOTA 2 has to compete with coomer-bait League of Legends and their bizarrely Iron Grip on MOBA fans.

For me: I think Pathologic 2 deserves much more love than it has gotten, It's an extremely unique "horror" game and we probably won't get anything like it again

I would prefer The Void gets more love tbh, given that the english version that currently exists is markedly different in its localization and likely won't ever be revisited

Vermintide. Steam even gave out VT2 for free.
Vermintide 1 was niche but well liked. VT2 ate a lot of shit for being feature incomplete at launch (and for some time thereafter) but it sold loads more than the first. I don't know if its bad rep comes from its sorry launch, its perceived inaccessibility, or its asshat fans (somewhat true).
The worst part is that the game died for Darktide which despite riding the live service fagtrain and suffering many many QoL downgrades, can't pull in more players than a five year old VT2.

I enjoyed Battalion Wars as a kid quite a bit. Beat it at least twice. It was so much fun being able to actually fight along side your cpu battalion and give them commands, prefered that over the looming commander god of RTS games. While I can attest to some missions being absolute slogs to get through, I'll still vouch for it being a game worth playing on the cube.

The sequel was kinda meh, I think they over complicated it in ways that were detrimental to the overall game play. I never touched the online so I can't say much about that.

I'd like to get a physical copy to play again because last time I played it was with the Dolphin emulator and it wasn't great. However it sounds like that's gonna cost me. I wouldn't mind finding more games in that RTS style though.
