Based-ass list, although I think Enter Electro might have been the better Spidey game.
@@FelisImpurrator I personally would have put Legend of the Dragoon/The Legend of Dragoon on the list myself, but that's just me.
The eponymous counter is cracking me up 😂
It and 'titular' need to have a counter in every video 😂
EPONYMOUS! ill make a short of how many times haha
King Kong 05 was a underrated MASTERPIECE. I adored that game as a kid
I am waiting for a remaster or hd version… I need it.
I think it's one of the few video game movie tie-ins considered better than the movie
FINALLY!!! Someone mentioned Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. Thank you, Jess. 😅👏
I once played Croc 2, and it was really great (despite its difficulty)! The first Croc was really better than the second game?
Man the first croc was my first PSX game and I loved it to death. Should revisit it...
My middle son (called Dante 😅) began playing it recently and it warms my heart seeing him play games I played at his age and really loving it for the same reasons I did ^_^
You can play as Croc in Diddy Kong racing too!
Fun fact:
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos was made by the same people who created Star Fox and was originally pitched to Nintendo as a Yoshi game.
Had Nintendo taken them up on the pitch, it would have released before Super Mario 64.
It has to be TimeSplitters for me. Every single one of those games, especially TimeSplitters 3, were just great. So many characters, so many levels, so much fun and joy in playing it as a kid. It was so camp, it never took itself too seriously, and it just played so well, and still is a great game today! Welll overdue a remaster, that unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever get 😥
1000% facts!!!
Champions of Norrath and Champions: Return To Arms need more love. They're often overlooked by Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1&2, and The Bard's Tale, but Champions, especially the sequel, has more to offer than the other games. Being able to choose a good or evil playthrough, adding some replayability, and being able to import your character from the first game was amazing back then.
THANK YOU!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THOSE GAMES STILL 😭
Many hours with my sister spent
@@errtothebear same here with my brother! So many memories with those games. I just replayed through Norrath and it definitely still holds up
I played Champions of Norrath and Champions 2. They were both great games. Would love a rerelease.
The bugs bunny and taz in time game was awesome! I played it a lot when I was a kid with friends, it was pure fun.
There are so many forgotten games that I could tell that it could take a while, but I think Rogue Galaxy it's a forgotten one (even though it has a ps4 remaster)
I LOVE that Maximo made this list. I was working in a Walmart Electronics department when this came out and still remember the neat promotional t-shirt I got during it's big release.
A game that I have never seen on any list is Outward. It is a game with no leveling system. It is based on equipment in skill. There is a large amount of customization with many survival elements. You need to stay warm/cool as the seasons change or environment, fed, hydrated, and need to sleep. There is a camping and cooking mechanic. There are no set camping spots, you can camp anywhere but there are safe spots. If you don’t camp in a safe spot you have to dedicate downtime to keeping watch so you aren’t ambushed while you sleep. For food it rots and some is poisonous. With water you have to be careful of the source because it differentiates between stagnant, fresh, salt, and river water but you can boil it to make it drinkable. You need dry rations to go between areas because travel takes days depending on where you are. There is medicine to heal illness but it takes time, it is not instant.
There are even inventory limits which depends on your backpack that have different states. Wearing a backpack in most instances slows your dodge rolls. Some backpacks and builds don’t. You can drop your backpack in battle but then most of your inventory is unavailable. Combat and especially magic, takes planning. You can very rarely just go into large combat with no buffs.
My game that people don't seem to remember is Radiant Historia. It came out at the end of the DS's lifespan, right before the 3DS came out, and is an UNDERRATED JRPG. It's based around a split timeline with a time travel mechanic that allows you to jump between the timelines, allowing you to take skills and equipment, and most importantly knowledge, to the opposite timeline. It was really cool, and it got a remake for the 3DS that added a post game and some extra content, as well as voice acting in cutscenes. It was super cool, and it's honestly one of my favourite games of all time.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. The stained glass scene alone is worth the price of admission.
Religious themes can sometimes be a touchy subject. But in a day and age where Persona 5 can depict a Japanese high school student charging into battle with St. Michael and the four horsemen of the apocalypse by his side, and nobody seems to bat an eyelash, I think there may be more of a market for it today.
You can't tell me people don't remember Croc! I loved that game so much
My list 1. Operation Winback for the Nintendo64. I remember buying that game in the bargain bin at GameStop for like 10-12 dollars. Took it home and didn't really expect much. Turned out to be one of my favorites games of all time. Not only that but It quietly revolutionized gaming...We seen it's mechanics in Metal Gear Solid, Gears of war and even Resident Evil 4. Such an underrated under appreciated gem than influenced alot. My number 2 would be Project Snowblind. I think originally it was supposed to be a Deus Ex. This game was a fun FPS and one of my favorite games on the original Xbox. I still am waiting for a sequel. 3. Full Auto on Xbox360. This game was just fun. I remember my girlfriend at the time bought it for me. Definitely one of my favorite games I played non stop. 4. Phantasy star Card on GameCube. I am not even a fan of turn based RPG or card games. Oddly I use to play this Fantasy start turn based card game non stop 😂. I actually beat a game that has two elements I am generally not interested. That speaks volumes about how good it is. 5. Honest NFL 2k5 deserves more love for being so ahead of its time and actually introducing society to the idea of algorithms with its Halftime and weekly highlight shows. 6. Jackal for original Nintendo. I feel like those over the head shooters or side scrolling games like ikaruga, Streets of Rage etc get alot of props. But this old school game is still one of my favorite games of all time. 7. Zero Tolerance Sega Genesis. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. Fun FPS on Sega Genesis.
I remember stunlocking Venom and Carnage in Spiderman by Neversoft. So fun. Core memory unlocked
Herzog Zwei, Tactics Ogre: March of the Black Queen and Gunstar Heroes are severely underrated games IMO
I put forth Wario Land 3 as a forgotten game that deserves more love. Especially when 4 seems to get all the attention. First game I ever completed and is the most unique metroidvania I've ever played. Wrote an essay about why and then recorded a video where I did a reading of it. Wario Land 1 and 2 are also quite good, by the way.
The Legend of Dragoon was my favorite PlayStation game of all time, it is filled with lore and it needs a remake badly
Same here.
Well the intro is playing, I would say we are way overdue for a Breath of Fire, and Sucker Punch remembering that Sly Cooper exists
Sucker Punch didn't even make Sly 4. They're done with Sly.
@@screamingfalcon71 Which would qualify it as "forgotten"....
Sly cooper has SO much potential man.
You mentioned Crash Bash, but what about Crash Team Rumble? The most current Crash Bandicoot title? It's a multiplayer Crash game, it sort of meets the standards of Crash Bash
Lost in Time and Time Busters are criminally underrated games and deserve a remaster more than any game rn.
What a great video! I forgot that I played most of these games growing up, and man, the nostalgia hit me!
Oh man. Right out of the gate, huge memories unlocked with Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. I had forgotten all about that game but now that I see it again I vividly remember playing it all the time when it first came out.
This video is it! Lol kong, Croc, and pitfall were some of my favorite games growing up. Those plus the hobbit game that was on the ps2 were absolutely amazing
Forgotten sands, also has one of the best final levels I have ever played in a game period. You literally have to platform and parkour on building pieces in a sand storm. It's probably the most cinematic the series has ever gotten.
Evil Zone (1997) Loved This Fighting Game Especially knowing a pre Max Tennyson Paul Eiding voices one of the characters extra points
I had that game for the PlayStation back in the day. Definitely a hidden gem!
I would also mention Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, a wonderful action/adventure game that takes inspiration from Zelda. It was a game I played on the Gamecube, and even today, it holds up really well. The visuals are nice and vibrant, the gameplay is nice and smooth, and its music is superb. My only negatives would be that there is no lock on system, so smaller targets like scarab beetles may give you a little trouble, but most enemies aren't difficult to land a hit on. And also, there's the biggest one, the ending. THQ clearly wanted there to be a sequel, because it ends on a cliffhanger, though since THQ Nortic seems keen on revitalizing some of their older games, maybe this one will see a remake in the future, as well as a potential sequel. Either way, it's still a great game that's easily accessible through Steam or by getting a copy on the Switch.
Chaos Legion, Radiata Stories, and Drakengard come to mind.
Chaos Legion wasn’t great, but I enjoyed the gothic setting and gameplay.Radiata Stories had so many different playable characters, all with unique personalities, and fun gameplay.
Drakengard might not qualify, since Nier are sequels to it, but the first one was very unique within the series. Loved the story, with all the endings, and I really enjoyed that leveling up your weapons changed there appearance and also gave you background story of the weapons
Thank you for reminding me of Maximo, so many good memories with that one
My Sister and I used to play SpiderMan all the time back in the day… she doesn’t play much video games anymore now but we try to do a Super Mario64 playthrough about once a year tho
That Spider-Man game in 2000 is a core memory for my childhood. Just seeing gameplay brough me back.
Also want to send love about the 'eponymous' counter, had a good laugh :)
My forgotten game that deserves more love I'd Tomba/Tombi. I never hear it mentioned anywhere but it was such an underrated game. So fun.
Croc games were brilliant. I remember in primary school you could get the entire game by collecting all the demo discs, or something along those lines.
I'd like to see a similar list but pre 2000, or pre '95 games only. I have fond memories of playing Jill of the Jungle.
I played the hell put out of a demo disc from PlayStation magazine that had Crash Bash and the Bugs Bunny game on. Incredible. Never got the full games, just constantly played the demos haha
For me it’s the Yokai Watch franchise… cause man it was fun… also that feeling you get when you summon your first legendary Yokai (Shogunyan) backed by the Operatic summoning theme Legendaries get was the best… Lvl 5 seeing how your coming back can we get ports of the original 3ds games
I loved Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, that giant white alligator level is why I'm always suspicious/scared when having to swim through water in video games
Jess! Croc is awesome!.. also; Titular, Appelative, I love your face, Nominative, Namesake, if you mix up the syntax.. eponymous does do some heavy lifting 😂
Ape Escape, Tomba, Brave Fencer Musashi, Power Stone, Rivals Schools, Mega Man Legends, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, Legend of Legaia, Dead or Alive 2, Ninja Gaiden, Musashi Samurai Legend, I can do this all day...
How i wish for all of the Crocs 1+2, Bugs Bunny Lost in Time and with Taz and Crash got remastered like the Reignated Trilogy or something.. those games were so so good i still play them on my PS1
Crash bash and the Spiderman game were amazing! Thanks for mentioning.
There are some other really good games that I would put on the forgotten games list like the Onimusha series, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (Aka Sheep Raider), and Pink Panther: Pinkadelic Pursuit.
Wow. I almost teared up just from the footage of Croc. Thank you
Forgotten Sands, Maximo and Kong all on one list, pretty impressive.
The Wheel of Time was a pretty good title too. A FPS using artifacts to shoot magic effects, both offensive and defensive, instead of guns.
The Maximo games are so damn good, it blows my mind the series died on the PS2
I started to play Castlevania: Curse of Darkness again and it's one worth checking. It's surprisingly ahead of the times and feels really modern in a lot of ways.
Scaler, Brute Force, and Sudeki need a shout-out, too. I played the heck out of them when I was younger, and I just unearthed my copies along with a big box full of my other ps1/ Og Xbox/ 360 games. Guess what I'll be doing on my channel when I'm able to get a set-up to record my old consoles. I'm thankful that some are backwards compatible and really should get back to finishing my playthoughs of Condemed and Jade Empire. I just have to play so much to catch up to where I left them off since losing all my save data after the black screen of death mirosoft update debarcle 😅 Oh, and I should also mention The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcherbay, in my shout-outs. That game slaps!
So many of these were crapped on when they first came out. We didn't know how good we had it.
tarzan , toy story trillogy, dante's inferno creep the fck outa me and i was 15 old back then. this game deserve more love more recognizion . its one of the best god of war imitations and brutally challenging just because back then dev's respected gamer's dedication. i couldnt even beat it on easy mode at first.
I think some of the other over looked games that I thought were amazing were the Onimusha games and the xenosaga games
I played the crap out of onimusha 2 trying to get weapons.leveled how I wanted
You need to do a part 2 of this or even a series
You forgot Ape Escape
Nightmare creatures on PS1 and Champions of Norrath on PS2 definitely need remakes.
I still have my big box PC version of Croc - first game I ever bought (or talked parents into buying)
Can't believe Ghosthunter isn't on this list!
after years since i was a kid of trying to get crocs noises out of my head and only getting them out as i turned 30, you just got them stuck back in my head
Even if it it hasn't aged well Croc 2 was actually one of my favourite games growing up.
Parasite eve on the other hand is one of my favourite games I've played recently and I would argue has aged amazingly well. Someone sort out the copyright on that thing and get us a remake!
Rule of Rose would probably have gotten more love if it was more available and wasn't so expensive on the secondary market.
I loved playing Maximo 1 and 2 as a kid
I played Rule of Rose when I was younger. But trying to get hold of the game nowadays is essentially is impossible without taking up a loan.
It's also worth mentioning that the Pitfall game mentioned here DOES have the original built into it and playable.
I guess we may never hear Jess's sweet sign-off at the end of these again...
Power Stone and Legacy of Kain series is something I’ve wished for years.
Thank you for making a quality list. This rocks!!
Every time I see a video on forgotten, underrated, or hidden gem games that deserve more love and a game from the TWEWY duology doesn't show up, I can't help but get a little bit sad, lol.
Awesome to see Emperor's Tomb getting some love!
I never hear any mention of brute force for the original xbox, that game was some fantastic spit-screen co-op.
A couple all timers on here. Loved Forgotten Sands and King Kong.
Speaking of video games that need love. Taz Unleashed ? I think that's what it was. For PS2 . Just destruction and toonness. Kinda loved it.
If Croc was remastered with trophies, I’d buy that in a heartbeat.
Chaos Legion. Brilliant game, gorgeous for its time, I'd love a remake.
Tomba 1&2 and the first Alundra (don't bring up whatever the second one was) from the PS1. Tomba was a great, colorful 2D platformer with a pink haired jungle boy that bit enemies on the head. Alundra was a brilliant top down Zelda clone that was the best ever made. Again, the less said about the sequel the better.
Yuri Lowenthal was the Prince? The same guy who voiced both Sasuke and Suzaku? Wow. Also, Forgotten Sands being in between Sands of Time and Warrior Within means we now know the answer to what happens following the cliffhanger in the DLC ending. And it turns out the guy who voiced both the Medic and Prophet of Regret, Robin Atkin Downes, voiced the Prince in Warrior Within.
"Sasuke and Suzaku" sounds like a buddy cop sitcom.
Lowenthal also played Yosuke in Persona 4 Golden, and Spider-Man/Peter Parker, in the Insomniac games. Legend
@@OmegaSpider227 Ah yes, Sasuke and Suzaku vs their own personal nemeses, Naruto and Zero.
The Indiana Jones level where you enter the tomb and have to swim with the Giant Croc lurking still gives me nightmares 🐊
that spiderman game made me think that there should be a list of 10/15/20 games fan would like to see modernize.
I absolutely loved Maximo. It was so good and would kick your butt. This makes me want to buy a PS2 just for that game
I think there are even more forgotten video games that deserve more love that are not 3D
I would play the absolute hell out of a Croc remake!
A game I mention on occasion that no one in my life seems to remember is “Um Jammer Lammy”
Fear effect should be on this list. That game deserves to be remembered
Ooh, new 3D platformers! I knew Croc, but the rest are definitely obscure.
Ok I’m not a big horror fan but these 2 are well and truly under rated gem “Eternal darkness” game cube
“Kudelka” of the ps1 the music is brilliant
Oh i remember Croc because it was the game that came bundled with my ps1. That and Gex
Okay, the tongue-in-cheek counter was funny... even if it did make me think of the dark days of titular Whatculture.
I was holding out to the end of the video to see if it showed up but no one ever mentions I-Ninja😢 was one of my favorite platformers from the OG Xbox. But honestly have played it in well over a decade so I just have nostalgia goggles on lol
HOW IS THIS INDIANA JONES GAME:
1)Set before temple of doom
2) named emperor's tomb
3) is somehow NOT about how Indy came to possess the remains of Nurhaci-an important Chinese emperor whose ashes are central to the inciting event of that movie?
I mean come on, story writers. You tee'd that one up for connection, and then just...completely wiffed the stationary ball.
In mobile Criminal Case is criminal underrated game that many people forgot and deserve more love
Radiata Stories deserves a port or remaster because it is an absolutely amazing game
Haha, when you mentioned Pitfall, I thought you meant the PSX game with Bruce Campbell.
Rule of Rose wont be on many lists in the uk, its banned here and costs hundreds to import
Fantastic list, loved it
I never hear any love for the original Ape Escape. That was an amazing game for the time that has never seen a remaster.
I miss all of these!!
However my cat, Crash Bash, is confused why someone keeps saying his name 😂😂
Vanguard Bandits needs all the love and a remake. it's SO DAMN GOOD PLS
Finally someone mentioned Rule of Rose...! Thank you..!
I loved the PS1 version of Spider-Man and its sequel, Enter Electro
I think a game that deserves to be on this list is darksiders. Them games was amazing with good lore and story telling
I used to have that Spider-Man game on PC. Man, I miss that game.
This is the kind of video I really love watching.
I need to replay that spiderman game, last played in 2004 and never beat it after my mother took away and lost my ps2 for 15 years...
AYO TIME BUSTERS WAS THE ONE OF THOSE GAMES FROM MY CHILDHOOD THAT I FORGOT I LOVED ❤❤❤
Primal and the The Suffering duology for the PS2. They need to be remade or at least remastered
