i got a game none of you fucks have ever heard of

mostly because it is A. a PC game and B. never been officially translated from Chinese. there is a fan translation, however.

but! its made by Koei, and it plays like a Shining Force game, so its pretty good. i was thinking of doing an imp zone lets play, with none of the modern lets play bullshit aka lets write dumb poo poo loving dialogue into the game or add dumb lovely jokes embellished with gimmicks.
there's lps that don't do that. you could just post it in let's play. so long as you used capital letters anyway.

also you didn't actually say the game's name

Ninja Five-O is obscure because there were only like 5,000 copies of it or whatever the hell the minimum GBA printing was, although the rarity combined with how loving cool it is has earned it notoriety.

and I loving don't know where I left my copy :(

Anyway it's cool, a bit short but there's no fat on it whatsoever. Crazy grappling mechanic and fun level design equals many opportunities to feel like a badass ninja once you get it down.

Aren't all the Umihara Kawase games just repeated remakes of the original SNES one? Not being snarky, a legit question.

I am probably the only person who would consider them 'excellent' but I always liked the Chameleon Twist games for the N64. If there was a 3D Yoshi game from that era it would probably play something like that.

I have no idea how the first game got a sequel, but not only did that happen but they went through the trouble of remodeling the main characters in the NA release because they thought Americans wanted them to look more like chameleons.

are there any more modern "realistic" fighting games w/ weapons other than that ps2 samurai game that wasnt as good as bushido blade?

ah, kengo. it had that minigame where the goal was not to fall asleep. I don't know that there's many realistic ones but wasn't there that fighter on xbox where broken limbs affected your fighting? and bio freaks I guess

but seriously, Binary Domain is pretty good and you should try it. The robot killing is really satisfying, and makes up for the weird squad-based command stuff that doesn't work that well. It's really too bad it lacks couch-based co-op

bad rear end graphics that could barely run on most computers when it came out. its sort of like a first person RTS game with massive open levels. One guy plays a huge monster that eats other players. I wish the multiplayer wasn't dead because it is neat

The PS2 version could be had for under a buck for ages. And it ran just as good on the PS2 as it did on the PC.

I feel like nobody ever talks about Chrono Cross because they didn't consider it a proper sequel to Chrono Trigger, but I actually had more fun playing Cross than I did Trigger. I replayed that poo poo until I unlocked every possible character. So many new game+es.

is ascendancy kind of obscure? idk but play it anyway, if only because the art direction and music own

also out of about 21 alien species there's only like two that could possibly be considered anthropomorphic and neither is very humanoid

that was a cool game but the AI was broken from the get-go and the limited developer support never fixed it, and of course it doesnt' ahve multiplayer, so you are left with a cool idea, and good music, but no game-play. Actually sim-city has more gameplay then ascendancy does :/

yeah but it has the single worst battle music out of any JRPG, which really sucks because the combat was fun and you end up hearing that stupid rear end song a million times

story was stupidly convoluted though

content: Ragnarok Battle Offline loving owns. It's a free game that supports up to 3 players, locally only unfortunately, it's a sidescroller beat'em up game with really good execution and mechanics. 6? Classes that are unique, as well as a cool leveling mechanic that allows you to do fun stuff with your stats.

http://rbo.wikia.com/wiki/Ragnarok_Battle_Offline_Wiki

Anyway there is an english translation for it that is mostly complete, but is totally optional as once you figure out the controls everything else is pretty straightforward.

Gameplay! TW: k-pop music.
