    Middle market titles have effectively been killed off by the increasing cost of making AAA titles and the temptation to just go indie instead. Middle market titles are amazing and the heart of gaming

      You nailed it on the head. This is exactly why PS2 era in particular was phenomenal. I never knew there was a term for it, but this is exactly where I feel happiest with games. "Middle market", I won't forget that. Thank you and thank you, Gamez of War.

      Middle market games still exist. They're just harder to find now. I'd say a game like empire of sin is middle market but chances are you haven't play/don't know if.

    Nothing better than having the day off, getting a coffee, putting the feet up and listening to half an hour of underrated 360/PS3 games from my favorite youtuber.
    You really blew me back to the past with some of those titles. I haven't played some of these games in YEARS like Majin and Knights Contract. Wow. You are right, this whole sort of mid-tier games genre is dying. A few that come to mind are Anima (as mentioned), We Happy Few, The Little Girl and The Robot, Recore, Fall of Light, Masters of Anima, Mulaka and Morphite.
    Great stuff man.

    I remember one middleware game I liked back in the day was Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War. It was a crowd-based brawler (or musou) but you controlled a platoon of soldiers rather than one unit and could issue commands to your soldiers and all that. It felt epic leading a cavalry charge and shit like that. Plus I’m a sucker for historical-based games.

    Some other very underrated games from the PS3/360 generation:
    Anarchy Reigns
    Dragon's Dogma - Dark Arisen
    Kingdoms of Amalur - Reckoning
    Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
    Prey
    Pure
    Tornado Outbreak

    • @squidracerX
      @squidracerX Před 5 lety

      Majin was great - cute and fun; and I absolutely loved Kingdoms of Amalur -- too bad it had such negative baggage with the developer :( I had a game save glitch that erased my save right at the end,(only time its ever happened to me in a game), and I was right at the end, i was so mad (hours upon hours lost), i gave it away and never beat it...
      Dragon's Dogma is great but isnt really a hidden gem anymore - its pretty popular, its actually been re-released a few times now, (most recently on Switch like last month). And I think its pretty well known now/pretty good seller now.
      But yeah, Viking was my standout in this video, game I'd never heard of and never see mentioned, picked it up and was in love - probably doesn't hold up as well now, but some of the stuff it did was very ahead of its time - epic battles, taking forts, you could kind of get lost at first because you could head to most objectives right off the bat, and some were just too tough to tackle early unless you were an expert. You could just run and attack the marching line of bad guys, you'd get your ass kicked, then realize you need to hide as they go by, and go and free some buddies from cages to help you first. i really appreciated it/put a lot of time into it :)
      Heavenly Sword I thought was next to perfect, never understood the "7" review score. It was the first time I felt I was playign a movie, the acting was superb. And Enslaved is the story of Monkey, so its Goku if you like DBZ. Great games. Overlooked for no reason.
      Binary Domain. Asuras Wraith, Splatterhouse, Vanquish -- these are the games I played and loved and I skipped a lot of the AAA games that others played. Memory lane here :)

I always like the concept of this mid tier games because they may not have the budgets of AAA titles, and they may not be the most polished games out there but they can implement some pretty good original ideas and its just unfortunate that while the budgets of games keep getting higher, these types of games just don't get made anymore because its either your game is a triple aaa title or its an indee title with the gap for mid tier games getting smaller and smaller but thanks for bringing attention to a lot of these games. I don't really have any interest in playing a lot of them since I only own two out of the games you mentioned which were El Shedai and Vanquish but I'm sure people will take a lot of these suggestions to heart.

I had no idea there was so many of these hack n slash games. Im playing Killer is Dead, Shadows of the damned and that hack slash Metal Gear game forgot the name atm but yeh oh Ninja Gaiden Stigma also. So many. Dunno how u play these along with great rpg's too but yeh people who move on to the latest console just because everyone else does is just sad, especially selling there system and games but hey more for us :p but yeh I actually go for consoles no one plays. I play Wii and WiiU atm too. Love it. Anyway can't thank u enough for these gems. I'll def try buy n play them all. B cool to have a big hack n slash collection going. For a big arcade beat em up fan I've gravitated nicely to the hack n slash genre and there so good. Perfect. Your a legend m8! Really enjoy ya vids. Hope everything is going okay. I don't know ya personal stuff but I've got a 6 year old and been through hell the last 2 years. Its a long story. Lets just say mental health and the Australian government don't mix. But got great news just the other week and shits ok. Anyway this vids great, just what we need. I got a ps4 and Switch but because I didn't game much through the PS1 to PS3 era's I have been playing the hell out of so many fantastic games and with your vids I've been playing the cream of the crop. Don't get me wrong too I dl games but only stupidly expensive stuff. I love collecting physical media too. Love it.

    Finally, Glad you made a new video, Your channel is completely underrated, Everytime I watch your videos I can tell you have passion for gaming just like mines, Willing to give some of the underrated games a chance. If you are interested in some underrated upcoming games, Check out Atomic Heart it looks a ton like Bioshock but is definitely not very well known, I'd put Lost Planet 1 on this list too, While Lost Planet isn't a unknown series the 1st Lost Planet is extremely underrated, Awesome Sci-Fi game.

    interesting to hear about vikings i remember when it came out i thought it looked interesting but i kinda forgot about it. dude vanquish is one of my favorite 3rd person shooter from that gen no joke and binary domain was pretty fun to and felt like a great terminator game and i find it interesting that it was made by the yakuza team. splatterhouse was exactly what you would expect and i enjoyed it just wish the load times were better but other wise its a ton of fun.
    1 PS4 game i did like that i would consider middle of the road is girl and the robot. its not amazing but i found it was enjoyable for a action puzzle game where you use both the girl and the robot

    Some early PS3 games I sold to get the 360 version because early PS3 games didn't have trophies. Dark Sector I sold for that reason and remembered after one of the things i liked about it was the motion controls. So it's one I still need to re buy back.

    Excellent, excellent list. Splatterhouse gets no love when it really should. The game is NOT perfect, with weird difficulty spikes near the end, iffy platforming, and a rushed finale, but the combat, story (surprisingly), finishing moves, unlcockable original titles, and most of all, Jim Cummings stellar voice work, make it worth playing easily. Also, noticed the terror mask prop in the background, nice touch.
