I'll pump some forgotten gems into your rectum

kek nothing quite like good, old-fashioned sexual violence posting

It is very open with big cities, but it isn't "open world" in the modern sense of a giant empty map.
What you will get is an RPG with a completely unique feel, grounded, original setting, and fantastic music.
Framerate blows, but otherwise, it holds up great and nothing else feels quite like it. This game and Timesplitters sold me on the PS2.

Blurry ps1 grafx with good soundtrack and shitty fetch quests.

i feel like more people know godhand or haunting ground

>>7138192
Maybe not completely forgotten like pic/related

>>7138140
Please give City Crisis a try before you scoff at its spine label.

>>7138585
The Sega Genesis version should be completely forgotten.

>>7138625

I honestly thought it was pretty good for what it was, obviously not on par with the actual VF2 but it definitely didn't suck.

>Tons of mini games
>Tons of collectable
>Tons of unlockable and secrets
>Character customization
>Good graphics for PS2 game
>Comfy OSTs
>Classic Bomberman mode
>PvP mode
>mario kart mode

This is why Hudson died. When they made a game that's actually good it always buried and forgotten in japan but when they decied to port it to west they went full retard and cut 80% content of the game also made sure the game looks like shit as possible

Good job Hudson, good fucking job

Bump

This was one of the first games I rented for PS2.

This game was notable for having extremely large levels on consoles (although not impressive on PC).

>>7138712
May have been this it was so long ago idrc

>>7138720
sweet vid, gonna check out invasion from beyond and destrega

already have rising zan

>>7138739
I was really impressed by it for the overall quality as a primarily PC based RPG fan. It later came out on PC, but I never felt the need to get that version.
I'd compare it to something like Morrowind in terms of how it feels like nothing else. Morrowind is a deeper game, but also a way jankier one. It is also several years newer.

I never hear this series get talked about enough

>>7138616
People goof on the hidden gem meme but even know with a billion hidden gem videos on YouTube this is the first time I heard of city crsis and after playing it for a bit I can tell ya it is indeed very good

>>7138712
>>7138748
God I miss AC so fucking much, no other mech series even begins to scratch the same itch.

>>7138140
2 was better

>>7138712
Extremely based. AC2 is one of my favorite games. Love the OST as well.
I'm playing AC3 right at this moment, funnily enough.

>>7138183
I've never played Summoner but that skit was great

This series

And also Dororo/Blood Will Tell.

it's a horror survival RPG

>>7138585
This was actually my childhood experience with VF2. Dural was a pain in the ass to beat.

>>7139275
Also the start of the Shadow Hearts franchise.
It's an incredibly interesting game, but the survival horror stylings and the JRPG combat is pretty much always at odds with each other.

>>7138585
This is the version I played as a kid

>>7138663
>Sarah's Theme, Arranged Version, from Virtua Fighter 2. Audio is a clean rip straight from the original Sega Saturn Game. Couldn't seem to find a full collection of all the music from Virtua Fighter 2, so I figured I'd do it my self. Virtua Fighter 2, its music, and all other related content is property of Sega Enterprises. Enjoy!

>>7138910
ok zoomer

>>7139275
Too bad it's shit along with Shadow Hearts.

>>7140679
Wish I was, I'm fucking in my late 30s

>I'm fucking in my late 30s

At least you are fucking.

>>7139263
It makes for a pretty hilarious playthrough with a friend.

>best ost in the PS1 JRPG genre if not all JRPGs
>ahead of its time innovative addition system for combat
>incredible creativity for its visuals and presentation
>fluid, funny, entertaining and gripping characterization
>dragoon system, magics, transformations is just really fucking cool


>plagued by translation errors and misrepresented details
>awful advertising campaign which resulted in lukewarm if not downright bad reception at release
>voice actors for the FMV sequences were laughable
>ideas were tossed around for years on ending the story with nobody agreeing, resulting in confusing final boss/motive
>3 years of development with highest at the time budget ever given to sony game, yet couldn't fix the above issues


This game should've been given so much more. People called it the FF7 killer when it was being discussed before release, and you know what? If they just polished it more, gave it a little more respect, it might actually have contended with it and had sequels and remasters today. I played FF6,7, and 8 back when they released, but I could only give you snippets of experience. I remember everything from this game because it was given love and care, but unfortunately not enough.

>>7139263
didn't this get a port to the PS3 of all things?

>>7138616
I actually bought this a few weeks ago purely because of the spine, haven’t played it yet

Best adventure game coming through.

>>7140684
confirmed shit taste

>>7143381
The series is still going. Just recently the fourth game got rleased for all modern systems.

>>7138140
If by "open" you mean giant, flat, empty fields and giant flat empty towns that allow you to freely explore the air between the zone walls then sure.

>>7139264
I want that game purely for the Hiroaki Samura art on the cover

>>7143658
>tfw kya fan on /vr/ :)
One of my favorite 3d action platformer adventure games on the ps2. Its a shame atari didn't allow eden games to make a sequel.

Has anyone ever unlocked the female characters in this game? I would love to see what they look like.

>>7144770
Nope.

>>7138739
Extremely large and fucking empty levels, it was an absolute drag to go anywhere in that game. Even as a kid who played through fucking phantasy star 2 on console I didn't have patience for that game.

>>7144770
>main character named dean

>>7144765
>Its a shame

Retard Alert.

>>7138708
At least bump with porn.

>>7138140
GEMS?
GEMS?
Dont you every use my "TRADEMARK" without my express permission you little shit.

maybe not underrated so much as forgotten as far as usual ports go the PS2 version was a blast

>>7150615
I got that for ten bucks, it wasn't terrible. Splitscreen was fun for an hour or two
