The first xmen legends is one of the greatest games from my childhood! I still have my copy for the gamecube. Definitely giving that another playthrough its been too many years. Thank you for the reminder 🤘

@shanedesir-parkes Ай бұрын

It was a solid RPG for the time. Great way of living the comics. I bought this myself for the GameCube. Never played 2 but yeah... Great game

@KOTSOSMC2002 Ай бұрын

Mass Effect 3 is kind of a sad tale. Game had the overwhelming majority of people hyped and simpin' throughout the whole thing, even the multiplayer was good. Those damned final 10 minutes of the game were so bad for most players it overruled literally EVERYTHING else the game did, it went from a 9/10 to a 5/10 just cause of that finale to most. Only other controversy surrounding the game was the Javik DLC being way too important to be paid DLC, the game was literally borderline flawless until the boarding of the Crucible.

@adamn7777 Ай бұрын

ME3 had arguably the best combat in the series. It felt the most dynamic and interesting of the combat systems throughout the series. It also had some incredible moments. The citadel DLC is fantastic, that scene where you're shooting can on a ledge in the citadel with Garrus before the final mission felt so emotional including the option to let him win was awesome. The game did a lot so well then the ending just tanked the whole game. People should not be able to so easily make a meme about who the final boss of the game is despite the Marauder Shields jokes being pretty funny at the time. I really wish they had embraced the indoctrination theory that fans put together and ran with that because it was better than what they came up with.

@luckyghost7777 Ай бұрын

I just got into mass effect as a whole last year and while 2 was my overall favorite the citadel dlc was the most fun I had playing a video game in a long time

@SpanishFly120 Ай бұрын

Yeah, the Multiplayer was great (people asking for things to get nerfed in a CO-OP Multiplayer, winding up making it too hard for new players aside), and I wish it was in the Legacy Edition, but the stuff with the original ending and the Javik thing after the game's intended release was made to be earlier than intended causing that is just, ooof.

@thusano2 Ай бұрын

I played it back then, and all the conversation was about how bad the ending was, but not to be cliche, the joy of mass effect was the journey, not the ending lol.

@dennisautry7841 Ай бұрын

Mass Effect 3 did something that genuinely never happens to me. It affected me emotionally. I had played through the series since ME1 and had romanced Liara, staying true to her with her absence from the crew through ME2, and that moment in ME3 where Shepard and Liara say goodbye.... it really got me. However you want to debate the ending, the farewells between friends, comrades, and lovers was so well written that will always stand by the statement ME3 was one of the best.

@Belligerent_Herald Ай бұрын

I also really loved ME3. Yes the ending failed to acknowledge your choices. But the entire game itself is your past actions coming back to haunt you. Do you have a galaxy full of people you’ve helped willing to throw there lot in with you. Or are you alone. Also that dlc night out on the town was just magical.

Mass Effect 3 ending isn't the problem, the problem started all the way down to the beginning of ME2. It was destined to be a failure years before the making of the game.

@halfricansaint7727 Ай бұрын

ME3 was actually my favorite in the trilogy. I was completely out of the entire loop on Mass Effect until the Legendary Edition came out and I wanted to jump in. I had heard about them while they were coming out, but I never really cared. Bought the LE on day one and binged the hell out of all 3 and, honestly, ME3 was my favorite. The conclusion of all of the galaxy’s numerous side stories was always going to be a huge task. I agree that the final moments (even with the extended version) are a bit rushed but I loved how a lot of the trilogy’s stories came together and it felt so epic. Truly loved that game.

Mass Effect 3 is the best one in the series, excluding the mediocre last 20 minutes of it. And to be fair, how do you even end something that epic in a satisfying way? They wrote a brilliant series, but it was so brilliant that they wrote themselves into a corner. Either way, 98% of the game was incredible.

Naughty Dog's, EA published, Sega Megadrive classic, Rings Of Power. Absolutely epic. I loved RPGs as a kid, and for sheer size/playtime, I wouldn't find anything even close until FFVII dropped on the PS1. I'd love to play it again. ❤

@d.a.baracus1438 Ай бұрын

I could not agree more w/ Josh... Mass Effect 3 is one of my all-time favorites. Yes, not as good as ME2, but still... Of course, the end was disappointing, but the 40 hours that lead up the ending are just incredible. If you play paragon like I usually do, then the moments you have with your squad (past & present) are just so touching and meaningful, & the resolution of all the storylines that spanned the entire trilogy, like curing the genophage & helping the Quarians reclaim their home world, is just epic. And having re-played the numerous times, I usually end up w/ going w/ the same paragon choices, so at this point, I don't really mind the ending b/c I always pick the same one anyway so it's like playing a linear game...

Eternal Sonata is one of the prettiest and unique games I've ever played in my life. I had no idea the game was a loose interpretation of Frederic Chopin's life (even though it takes place inside his mind before his death) who i quickly became interested in thanks to the game. I'm not even a fan of classical music yet I found his work to be emotionally beautiful and tragic all at once. What makes the game better in my opinion is that every other character is based on a musical note or some form of music genre.I hope someday,one day the game becomes available on game pass so everyone can play this overlooked beautiful game.

@darshura8429 Ай бұрын

Eternal Sonata was excellent, the music, the story, and the characters. It even had a secret multiplayer if you had more than 1 controller connected and your friends can play as your party members.

Secret of Evermore - It was easily better then Mana at the time, great combat magic system, fun little world, and having a multipurpose dog as the best CPU partner you could ask for Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals - Easily some of the best boss music of all time, wrapped up in an enriching story, brain numbing puzzles mixed into dungeons, and then the added on Ancient Cave, which is basically another game they squished into it.

@jimifender22 Ай бұрын

Mass effect 3 is great. Ending isn't good but i think that was always going to be a difficult story to wrap up in a satisfying way. Until the end it's arguably the best of the trilogy. That whole series as lauded as it is i think is still somehow underrated overall

X-men Legends 1 and 2 and Balder's Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2 were all incredible games. The only downside of the first X-men game was that you got to unlock Psylocke (my favourite character) way too late. You literally get her 2-3 rooms before the final boss, who is immune to psychic damage. Her main attacks deal psychic damage 😂

"What game are you ashamed that you've never played?" I have an idea for a quiz like this, since I was very young I fell in love with video games and even today in my 40s I can't get enough of playing them, but there are one or two series that I'm ashamed of never having played, Final Fantasy 8 is a game that I only played for about an hour on the PS1 that my sister's friend brought when she visited us, so to my shame I never played a Final Fantasy game again after that. So I'd love a quiz where each of you admits to the game you've never played, even though you know it's a genre you like or even one of the best games out there.

If you mention Raven Software's X-Men Legends as the most underrated RPG of all time, I'd say it is going up in price because collector's are looking for it. Especially on XBox. If a RPG of Raven Software ist underrated, then it's probably their debut Game "Black Crypt".

Stevie said we wouldn't have the likes of Baldurs Gate without KOTOR but the first two games came out before KOTOR 🤨also, I'd hardly call most of the games on this list overlooked. While the first Dragons Dogma was perhaps overlooked. It was clear since the announcement of a second that it's been anything but. And while Mass Effect 3 had it's controversy around it's ending, it's another one that was far from overlooked, people may still take issue with how the ending was handled, but it's still played by many and enjoyed to this day.

If I'd plug a game here it's Record of Agarest War/Agarest Generations of War. The main gimmick of it is that you're a member of this family that's fighting some big evil monster over multiple generations until your final offspring can finish the job. I think it got overlooked because they marketed it way too much on sexy anime waifus so most people probably thought it was some hentai or dating sim game when that was a minuscule part of the game.
