/vr/ - Retro Games

some of these weren't "hidden gems", but they are retroactively (nobody cares about them anymore)
Armored Core (Nexus>2/AA=LR>3/SL)
Genji
PS2 Tenchu Games
Onimusha
SSX 3
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2
Sonic Unleashed PS2
Valkyrie Profile 2
Driver: Parallel Lines
Richard Burns Rally (if you get it on PC you can mod it to make it the best dirt crashing game ever)
Juiced (peak comfy, 2 is meh)
ChainDive (JP)
The Getaway (CINEMATIC gta)
Gauntlet Dark Legacy (arcade port, shallow but fun as fuck with friends)
All the PS2 visual novels

probably more but I need to check my memcard, the ones I know off the top of my head are straight out of "top 5 underrated games" articles, so its not anything new

oh so /vr/ gets e-celebs shilled on here too? nice.

not retro

FATTY

>the mark of kri
>in every garbage bin for 2 bucks at any store that sells PS2 games
>hidden gem

>>6783872
I got Mark Of Kri and its sequel Rise Of Kasai a while back. They're nowhere near gems. Hidden, yeah, but they're better off that way. They're not very good games.

>>6783602
that dororo game is insanely fucking expensive now

>>6783735
AVGN especially had plenty of stealth threads even before this rule change.

>>6784275
it's not hidden at all either
like I said you can find it everywhere
I guess every shovelware game is 'hidden' too because nobody played it

>>6783602
But if the PS2 is considered retro, how is no one allowed to post a hidden gem PS2 game released after 2007? Only 6th Gen retro.

>>6783602
Criminally underrated gem right here.

>>6783602
Good lord he used to be thin. What happened?

>how is no one allowed to post a hidden gem PS2 game released after 2007?
Dems are the new rules, I just follow them.

>>6783602
is there even a single decent post 2007 ps2 game? not trying to bait, sincerely curious

>>6785438
silent hill origins
sonic riders zero gravity
persona 4
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Thunder Force VI
sonic unleashed
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced
Wipeout Pulse
MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Call of Duty: World at War – Final Fronts

>>6785534
persona 4 came out earlier in japan.

>>6783602
Of all the fucking /vr/ things to not die with the rule change why did it have to be this?

>>6785071
>it's not hidden at all either
>like I said you can find it everywhere
Fair enough. There are a bunch of sellers for this garbage game on eBay and Amazon too. It goes for pennies and a lot of the conditions are "New" and "Like New". Hmmm, I wonder why that is?

>>6785438
I liked God of War 2 for what it was.

yakuza 2 in the west
arcana heart
nobunga rise to power
i unironically liked eternal poison
tna impact was a surprisingly good wrestling game
gundam dynasty warriors 2
the ghostbusters game
wwe all stars is a pretty fun arade styled-game

if theres anything else thats not in >>6785534 it
would have to be an unironic hidden gem which noone has ever talked about

>>6786030
damn im retarded
meant to reply to >>6785438

>>6783735
wrong

>>6783602
But PS2 is in and of itself retro, why did you feel the need to add that description?

>>6783602
Released March, 2007, so it still counts. I unironically enjoyed the shit out of this game as a preteen. I still enjoy it as an adult. May not be a great game by /vr/ standards, but I still liked it a lot.

Does anyone have something like picrelated but for PS2?

>>6786027
what hidden gem is that

>>6787335
Wow the 3DS was underwhelming.

I can tell you really like this game.

>>6787406
Thank you very much, anon!

Is this worth buying today off ebay? I miss it honestly from what I remember.

>>6783602
I want Blood Will Tell, but shit is like $200

>>6786027
He should go bear mode.

King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match
King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match

No... I mean if you don't remember, this game went through hell in development, and not to mention the Driv3rgate scandal. Not to mention, the game isn't very good, and it's a buggy mess.

Unless you're into games that have Bethesda levels of bugs, then yeah, sure.
