I absolutely loved that game. It was way too short but man it was great. I always felt red dead redemption felt more like a spiritual successor to Gun than a successor to Red Dead Revolver.
game player well everything comes down to money really. If they didnt make enough from the first why would they bother with a second clearly it would imply that people were not interested
Ya it was....but the cole dies and the corrupt figures make a deal with DA office there is no loose end that can ve carried into a sequel...it was a great game though really accurate for 1940s L.A.

Everything about LA Noire was fantastic, but I also didn't go into it with the mindset of it being GTA: 1947. I knew what I was getting, and I loved every minute of it. The overarching story was great, the cases were challenging, and the performances were memorable (albeit, some for the wrong reason) but the game is still a strong 9/10 for me.

Mafia 1 & 2 are two of the most underrated games ever imo, they never pushed the envelope like GTA but they are near that level.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, is honestly still worth a play, it costs like 5 bucks on steam and you can go online to get a free patch that sorts out all of the game breaking bugs
IT's an amazing game that is worth at the very least 3 playthrus due to the Nosferatu and Malkavian. It deff still holds up to this day and honestly i like it WAY more then Half Life.
Its not like Persona really inless you count being able to get social skills but thats it. If you like games like Dues Ex you will like this game or if your a fan of Vampires since this is the BEST Vampire sim you can get.

Yes L.A. Noire is one of my favorite games and I would be so happy to see a sequel with more advanced detective modes omg I loved playing a game from the detective perspective. It's a perfect fit for a video game and you rarely get it. We need more of it!
LA Noire's initial reception greatly disappoints me. I mean, it's great that it's developed a strong cult following these days and the Switch port and PC ports are doing well, but when it first came out, seeing people complain about a detective game being a detective game just pissed me off. It still does. I know with Rockstar you expect certain things, and the game does have those elements from time to time (as do the noir/hardboiled movies it takes inspiration from), but like those films that inspired it, it's a detective story, not an action thriller. What the fuck did people expect it to be?! It's like being pissed off at LA Confidential for not being Lethal Weapon!
Prince Aligorna Rockstar were only the publisher so it's a annoying that people have expectations of one of their projects. Was made by Team Bondi in Australia.
wes8723 it only sold a lot in the past because people had ASSUMED it would be like GTA but as a cop. it wasn't, people complained and stated they were lied to, sales for the game dropped greatly after the 'backlash' caused by assumptions. only NOW do people appreciate it, after the remaster, for the game it is and not for it not being the game people in the past ASSUMED it would be.
lol, people complained because it was not GTA in cop because they wanted more freedom to do, but La Noire won't let you do that, you can run over npc civilians but you cant shoot them, can you pull out your gun just to cause fun mayhem like GTA? nope sorry lad, La Noire is for story emotional baby in 80s.
@@wickedprinc3624 yep was gonna say that i had it and it was exclusive to the nintendo 64, these guys should do their research when i saw the screenshots after they said turok i was like...... really?
@s hudson - What I liked about the game is that each mission can be approached in different ways. I play it stealthy as much as I can. It is a lot more fun and not arcadey that way. There are situations where you can go full stealth all the way. The mission to get inside the citadel and get Dierker - I was able to kill everyone without it going beyond a yellow warning and they never saw me. The only one that did was Dierker, and that was because the story was meant to.
100% agree. I thought heavy rain was terrible. Loved indigo prophecy though. I still haven’t been able to figure out why Heavy Rain is rated so highly.
Lee Griffis thank you whenever I say heavy rain sucks compared to indigo prophecy and beyond two souls people lose their minds. I honestly hated heavy rain after the first hour it wasn't compelling to play the story when both game play and story were that dull
Turok 2008 came out after far superior Crysis and definitely after first FarCry. In 2008 it had nothing new to offer and it's SOOO BORING to play. And if we are talking about original Turok on N64 it was appreciated enough. Heavy Rain came out years after Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) that pioneered this genre. Heavy Rain didn't get the appreciation for different reasons. J-SON!
They have to make HD reskinned, revamped Psi-Ops with multiplayer coop gameplay , pvp, and even multiplayer to their various, minigame... . Or make new series but inspired by this. Srsly this is 3rd person action shooting with Portal mechanics, to the one that never knew the game before... .
Forget Psi-Ops. Trespasser was doing physics based gameplay way back when the FIRST Half-Life came out. Buggy as hell and difficult to grasp the controls at first, but we likely never would have had the Half-Life 2 or Crysis we know and love if Trespasser hadn't been pushing those ideas back in 1998.
I was gonna say the same thing. So many things pioneered on that game. And I love playing it, and I still have my original disk. And Surgeon Simulator and OctoDad basically copied the arm and hand mechanics over 10 years later.
actually a really well put together video, with some spot on info and some good insight into why some really great games didnt take off in there initial release
Really? I back when MGS2 came out, the people I talked to were disappointed that they didn't play as Snake the whole game and that the story with the patriots was confusing, but that was their only complaint. They all loved the game.
I heard exactly two complaints about MGS2 when it released: That you weren't playing as Snake (which almost everyone got over after a few hours of playing), and that the story was confusing at the end (which most got over after discussing wth it was all about for a few minutes). The rest of the game was almost unanimously praised. The meta-jokes, the gameplay, most of the story, the characters, the twists, the callbacks to MGS, the atmosphere, etc.. Then again, I was about 20 when it released, so that might have something to do with it.
Grey_B Bushy I was 13 when I played it and thought it was awesome. These guys clearly weren't around/paying attention to gaming when it was released and just read stuff online.
LA noire...I waited 2-3 years for it in high school, a few days before release I was on gamefaqs/gamespot forums and people were saying it was gonna be GTA but with cops and literally no one was correcting them so I had a feeling people were gonna hate on the game. Got it at a midnight release party and I was right, people hated on it and quickly shoved it under the rug because it wasnt GTA as a cop. Game wasnt perfect and combat shouldve been better and possibly more of it but the game wasnt about that. Now that it got re released you see all these people blowing it and calling it great and its like, bitch where the hell were you? We wouldve had a sequel by now if this non existent crowd that apparently loved the last gen release instead of bitching it wasnt the game you assumed it was. Shit makes me sick lmao
Super Game Jerks Damn right, man. I bought it a few days after it came out and I loved it. You're right about the combat, but the story was the point. And, in that, it delivered. People are very predictable.
Sales weren’t the reason there wasn’t a sequel, Team Bondi couldn’t get a publisher for another game after Rockstar cut them loose over the investigation by the Independent Game Developers Association. The company was run like a sweatshop, tons of employees quit over the seven years the game was made, and 130 of those had their names actually cut from the game’s credits. By the time the studio was liquidated there was over $1 million owed in unpaid wages and bonuses.
Super Game Jerks the most tragic part to me is that they sold the company to an Australian film producer, so there goes the hope for a sequel ever coming in the future.
R* owns the rights to the LA Noire franchise now so a sequel could still happen. Don't rule it out entirely, but it is YEARS away (like, a decade) before it see's the light of day.
Power Stone was the first 3D arena fighter for the time but lost to Super Smash Bros as the first 2D arena fighter. Ape Escape was the first 3D platformer to use dual analog controls and it did it beautifully.
I played the shit out of Psy Ops demo when I was a kid. I got it from one of those demo discs that used to be inside every playstation magazine shoutout to everyout who remembers those.
Everything you said about Turok had already been done years before with the original Tomb Raiders and MGS Snake Eater .... and there were those of us that appreciated MGS 2 in its day, for me it's still my favorite game.
Forget Heavy Rain, it was a cult classic that most gamers have at least heard of. It's their first title fahrenheit/indigo prophecy that's forgotten about. One of the greatest games I've ever played. It was so far ahead of its time that it doesn't even get remembered as underrated.
I can even remember when i first launched vampire bloodlines, i could not believe it's graphics, metal gear 2 it was a cosmic orgasm at the time, no ps2 game could ever dream of such a deep, perfected game. Nice list man, i played every one of them and i agreed that they are incredible games, u could make a list of games genres that disappear like commandos and desperados.
Evolve. The game is about strategy, positioning and playing your class properly. Tracking the monster requires you to think ahead, use your tools, and predict their movements. Evolve was such a new idea, it did not receive the love it deserved. Evolve was my 2015.
It is extremely rare that a dislike a video, but this is well deserved. The title and even the intro have nothing to do with the video. For instance Virtua Fighter was critically acclaimed and was the 3rd best selling game of the Saturn, Virtua Fighter 2 being the first. Ans it's about the same story for MGS2. I don't know if it was done for clickbait purpose or from pure lazyness, but it is bad.
Shenmue is my shit. Love that game. Have to settle for Yakuza to get my fix. Hopefully HD remakes with the other 6 chapters (I think that what was promised I know the first game is Chapter 1 and Shemue 2 is chapter 2-4)of the story will arrive someday
I spent so much of my teen years in the practice room of Psi-Ops XD . We used to try to break the game by making the biggest explosions with telekinesis, causing the most work for that havok physics engine. I think it was my first Mature game actually. One thing's for sure, it was the first game I really followed online till it's release and I had to prep my parents ahead of time that I wasn't missing it.
Dont forget to mention that Team Bondi was working on a even bigger project that would try to expand on the ideas of L.A Noire, called The Whore of the Orient. This game would have taken place in 1940s Shanghai which was a criminals paradise at the time, meaning eventual fantastic and puzzling cases. Unfortunately the game was cancelled so we never got to see what Team Bondi had in mind
The Prey reboot I think is pretty underrated. Emergent gameplay down to the simplest things like using basic logic to figure out access codes were so intuitive.
Saints row and mass effect 4 life SR2 is one of the best sandbox games EVER MADE. Dude when SR3 came out and they took out the combat styles and stuff it shocked me. I love SR2 and that vision of Stillwater,it needs a remaster. Like I would totally play and updated SR2 over any SR release, I loved Stillwater
Milad Ahmed sorta disagree I feel like saints row 2 was unique there was so much stuff to do and for the time period the game was really advanced I think saints row is nothing like Gta just because a game is set around a gang doesn't make it a Gta clone that's one of the reasons I dislike Gta because every single open world game is compared to Gta in some way I mean I love Gta but I do have some dislikes for it
+Saints row and mass effect 4 life It was about you, a gang leader, leading your gang to the top by taking control of territories. Same premise of SA. Shit, it even had the neighborhood gang war mechanic that SA had. It wasn't as Creative, fun or funny as SA.
Timothy Matheny watch out we've got a Gta fanboy here who thinks anything which is remotely to do with gangs is a Gta clone look the whole gang thing is an age old tale Gta just stole the idea of other forms of media which came before and I am in no way saying saint row 2 is as good as Gta SA I'm not but it was a lot better than Gta 4 Gta 4 was just garbage it really was and I've been a Gta fan since I was 7 but Gta 4 was completely crap and Gta 5 was mediocre but back to saints row 2. Saints row 2 had similarities to SA but every single game about a gang has similarities to Gta since Gta were the first to do it and I think your comments are quite ignorant I've got a great sense of humor and I found saints row 2 just as funny as SA it was incredibly creative not as creative as SA but still really creative all the whacky crazy fun side missions were incredibly unique and original I can think of hardly any games that had the same side missions as saints row 2 and saying it isn't as fun is again a hit ignorant as I said SA is a better game but saints row is just as fun all the stuff you could do as I said all the side missions it was just an incredibly creative fun unique underrated borderline masterpiece I think it was really advanced graphically and gameplay wise so as I said nowhere near the level of SA but still the second best gangsta game ever made and incredibly underrated and if you don't think that your either a complete Gta fanboy or just don't know much about gaming
The Punisher 2005 game by THQ was one of the best MARVEL games that ever made. The Suffering 1 & 2 probably the best horror games on PS2 and PC. Manhunt 1 & 2, a time when Rockstar was not afraid to make some risks, and the effort was amazing. Postal 2 is like a game that you probably would never see on this days.
Being able to look over to my shelf and my copy of Psi-Ops while watching the video made that a bit sweeter showing up on the list. I've been singing that game's praises for quite sometime now.
I used to replay Vampire almost yearly, sadly the game is starting to show its age even with mod support. I bet a remaster would be a success, but it will probably never happen.
It's aged a bit but tbh Source Engine games age pretty well. I think part of the reason it aged a little more is that they were given an incomplete copy of the source engine to work with.
I love how many of my favorite games are in this list. I bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing Heavy Rain. loved that game and I loved Detroit too.
My girlfriend would hand me the controller every time driving and combat came up in L.A. Noire, but wanted it back as soon as the good part started, haha. We appreciated it for what it was. A great series of murder mysteries for us to investigate. The experience was great.
I finally picked up Vampire The Masquerade and it's a bit rough around the edges but it did finally draw me in and it's definitely a crying shame that it did so poorly. The community is badass for creating so many fixes and restoring cut content.
While not entirely treading new ground, Suikoden 2 was completely panned by most critics on release since it was still using pixel graphics rather than transitioning to 3D. Of course, now the game has a huge following.
Glad to see the recognition with "Alone in the dark"... remember playing it as a kid-teenager when it came out and still remember the the tension and creepy, mistical atmosphere they were able to build, hearing the garden door noises, window noises, zombies roar, ... and the feeling of shooting a shotgun right in front of a zombie face haha... of course later on i played and finished several times Resident Evil 1, but Alone in the Dark was the one that invented this concept of survival horror as was developed years after.
It's a better Boishock than any of the sequels, the story was good fun, the three endings were pretty cool, the combat was awesome, the multiplayer was also really interesting.
Ertan Soner Because it was undermarketed, it had some troubled development so Activision wanted it out so they didn't have to pump more money into it. They never expected it to get a following.
Virtua Fighter was truly appreciated in its time. It is not in the minds of players now because their hasn't been an update is a decade. But at the time was loved.
I’m so glad I’m seeing a bunch of people in the comments talking about how good LA Noire was. So damn underrated just bought the remastered version to play again
It’s such a bummer what happened to Team Bondi, hopefully one day Rockstar will get he ball rolling on a similar detective game because it really was one of he best games of that gen.
Mike, from Texas I know about Vidiots. Adam isn't a "sexual predator". He was kicking game at some chick and he wasn't charming or subtle enough about it and she got creeped out and took things too far. I agree he should have waited until the request for nudes, but that is a far cry from "sexual predator". God, I fuckin hate this generation.
Mike, from Texas He was brow-beaten into saying that shit. And, yeah, cheating is a douchebag thing to do. But, not having tact, charm or subtlety isn't a crime. The chick he hit on was just hurt that the image she had of him, in her head, wasn't the reality. So she decided to pull the old "Boo-hoo, I'm an attractive woman and he made me feel upset. That means he's a monster, get him!" Did you see her? She was definitely hot. Outta his league, I'd say. But, that's all this boils down to; a lack of charm on his part and a shattered fantasy on hers.
Ricky Ray She knew him personally, they were decent friends before all that. And how exactly do you believe was "forced" to admit he harassed more than one woman? That's the worst deflection since Kevin Spacey admitting he was gay to excuse pedo-rape.
Mike, from Texas Lol! That is some heavy hyperbole, right there, dude. And, I didn't say forced, I said brow-beaten. He had to say that shit, to keep his girlfriend. That's what his later statements made it seem like. And, if he knew her or not, my point is still valid. She just got weirded out and started a witch-hunt. Creepy dudes will hit on hot women. It's just a fundamental fact of life. Either way, my opinion isn't changing. He didn't hit on my sister, wife or daughters, so I don't care that much. (Granted my daughters are 12 and 1. So that would definitely be a problem). And, clearly, between changing my words to "forced", saying that our (I thought) civil discourse is comparable to Kevin Spacey and calling Adam a "sexual predator", you enjoy some hyperbole.
We use to sluff school, burn, and have Driver tournaments. See who could last the longest on survival mode. Still recall how cool it was to rally through the hills of San Francisco, running from the cops.
It is a shame regarding the controversy surrounding Brendan McNamara, not only was he the founder of Team Bondi and the writer/director of LA Noire but years before he was also the studio head of Team Soho and the writer/director of The Getaway. Those two games are two of the most underrated and best games of their generations.
What about Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall? It held the record for biggest map for years, and it also had horses before Skyrim. For its time, it was one of the greatest games ever made.

lol, people complained because it was not GTA in cop because they wanted more freedom to do, but La Noire won't let you do that, you can run over npc civilians but you cant shoot them, can you pull out your gun just to cause fun mayhem like GTA? nope sorry lad, La Noire is for story emotional baby in 80s.
i loved everything you said but "It's like being pissed off at LA Confidential for not being Lethal Weapon!" earned my like. well done..
la noire is literally like my favorite game of all time, i really wish we had a sequel.
Pretty sure 1998's Thief beat Turok with stealth based bow attacks.
the original turoks came out before thief and had the bows implemented - not sure why they didnt mention those
Exactly what I was going to say... I don’t think he knows his onions, game-wise
@@MissHellybaybee You and Kevin Knutson saved me some typing.
@@wickedprinc3624 yep was gonna say that i had it and it was exclusive to the nintendo 64, these guys should do their research when i saw the screenshots after they said turok i was like...... really?
Was just was gonna say the same
Winback pioneered the whole “shooting from cover” thing.
Frost770 I still have my copy. I have a love/hate relationship with that game.
The Saboteur was good for it's time.
sani 86 About the only Frenchman that could make me laugh on purpose. Real good game.
Beautiful game... Only flaw is that stealth mechanics. That coulda have been the game of the year if stealth was perfected.
a mix of AC just cause mafia. Great game
@s hudson - What did you think was boring about it?
@s hudson - What I liked about the game is that each mission can be approached in different ways. I play it stealthy as much as I can. It is a lot more fun and not arcadey that way. There are situations where you can go full stealth all the way. The mission to get inside the citadel and get Dierker - I was able to kill everyone without it going beyond a yellow warning and they never saw me. The only one that did was Dierker, and that was because the story was meant to.
Heavy Rain was/is a masterpiece
I would put indigo prophecy instead of heavy rain
agreed. It was great, and even addressed taking a cinema director's background into gaming.
Loved IP back when I had it on PS2. then got it again on the xbox 360 marketplace.
100% agree. I thought heavy rain was terrible. Loved indigo prophecy though. I still haven’t been able to figure out why Heavy Rain is rated so highly.
Lee Griffis thank you whenever I say heavy rain sucks compared to indigo prophecy and beyond two souls people lose their minds. I honestly hated heavy rain after the first hour it wasn't compelling to play the story when both game play and story were that dull
Aya Jade what did you think of Omikron? Seems like we’re in the same boat
LA Noire is the best Story Mode I’ve ever played. The game was very sophisticated for the time it was released.
Telltale walking dead
Better than rdr2s story mode? Rdr2s was pretty fucking good
@@Fabian6980 he clearly haven't played rdr2
Turok 2008 came out after far superior Crysis and definitely after first FarCry. In 2008 it had nothing new to offer and it's SOOO BORING to play. And if we are talking about original Turok on N64 it was appreciated enough.
Heavy Rain came out years after Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) that pioneered this genre. Heavy Rain didn't get the appreciation for different reasons. J-SON!
Came here to post about Indigo Prophecy. WhatCulture Gaming has a poor grasp of gaming history :\
actually quantic dreams first game was omikron the nomad soul
Comment on point, here take 10 upvotes.
Lol Crysis came out in 2007 and graphics are still good to today’s standards while turok 2008’s graphics are total crap
I would like to see more games like Grim Fandango nowadays.
Gotta love some PSI-OPS! That game deserved way more attention...
even COLD made a song for that game!!
They have to make HD reskinned, revamped Psi-Ops with multiplayer coop gameplay , pvp, and even multiplayer to their various, minigame... . Or make new series but inspired by this. Srsly this is 3rd person action shooting with Portal mechanics, to the one that never knew the game before... .
The other game like that called Second Sight was real good too.
Yesss!!
Sniper Elite 1 highly underrated game, still with story, gameplay, definitely best fps war games ever
Forget Psi-Ops. Trespasser was doing physics based gameplay way back when the FIRST Half-Life came out. Buggy as hell and difficult to grasp the controls at first, but we likely never would have had the Half-Life 2 or Crysis we know and love if Trespasser hadn't been pushing those ideas back in 1998.
I was gonna say the same thing. So many things pioneered on that game. And I love playing it, and I still have my original disk.
And Surgeon Simulator and OctoDad basically copied the arm and hand mechanics over 10 years later.
L.A Noire was way ahead of its time
Psi-Ops was one of my favourite games when I was younger
Spent hours on a demo disc of it. Picked it up when I found it. No regurts.
actually a really well put together video, with some spot on info and some good insight into why some really great games didnt take off in there initial release
Did you seriously claim nobody appreciated MGS2?
The story is only appreciated in the grander scheme of things. On its own at the time it really pissed a lot of people off.
Really? I back when MGS2 came out, the people I talked to were disappointed that they didn't play as Snake the whole game and that the story with the patriots was confusing, but that was their only complaint. They all loved the game.
archmagusofevil when I say grander scheme of things I mean after the release of Guns of the Patriots.
I heard exactly two complaints about MGS2 when it released: That you weren't playing as Snake (which almost everyone got over after a few hours of playing), and that the story was confusing at the end (which most got over after discussing wth it was all about for a few minutes). The rest of the game was almost unanimously praised. The meta-jokes, the gameplay, most of the story, the characters, the twists, the callbacks to MGS, the atmosphere, etc..
Then again, I was about 20 when it released, so that might have something to do with it.
Grey_B Bushy I was 13 when I played it and thought it was awesome. These guys clearly weren't around/paying attention to gaming when it was released and just read stuff online.
LA noire...I waited 2-3 years for it in high school, a few days before release I was on gamefaqs/gamespot forums and people were saying it was gonna be GTA but with cops and literally no one was correcting them so I had a feeling people were gonna hate on the game. Got it at a midnight release party and I was right, people hated on it and quickly shoved it under the rug because it wasnt GTA as a cop. Game wasnt perfect and combat shouldve been better and possibly more of it but the game wasnt about that. Now that it got re released you see all these people blowing it and calling it great and its like, bitch where the hell were you? We wouldve had a sequel by now if this non existent crowd that apparently loved the last gen release instead of bitching it wasnt the game you assumed it was. Shit makes me sick lmao
Super Game Jerks
Damn right, man. I bought it a few days after it came out and I loved it. You're right about the combat, but the story was the point. And, in that, it delivered. People are very predictable.
Sales weren’t the reason there wasn’t a sequel, Team Bondi couldn’t get a publisher for another game after Rockstar cut them loose over the investigation by the Independent Game Developers Association. The company was run like a sweatshop, tons of employees quit over the seven years the game was made, and 130 of those had their names actually cut from the game’s credits. By the time the studio was liquidated there was over $1 million owed in unpaid wages and bonuses.
SeppuKush yeah man that was terrible. Its just ridiculous
Super Game Jerks the most tragic part to me is that they sold the company to an Australian film producer, so there goes the hope for a sequel ever coming in the future.
R* owns the rights to the LA Noire franchise now so a sequel could still happen. Don't rule it out entirely, but it is YEARS away (like, a decade) before it see's the light of day.
Just recently picked up LA Noire on my Switch. The game has been on my radar for a good three years, and I have definitely not been disappointed.
Power Stone was the first 3D arena fighter for the time but lost to Super Smash Bros as the first 2D arena fighter.
Ape Escape was the first 3D platformer to use dual analog controls and it did it beautifully.
Turok 2 and turok evolution were my favorites
Love L.A Noire bought the remastered loved it again needs a sequel
I played the shit out of Psy Ops demo when I was a kid. I got it from one of those demo discs that used to be inside every playstation magazine shoutout to everyout who remembers those.
Everything you said about Turok had already been done years before with the original Tomb Raiders and MGS Snake Eater ....
and there were those of us that appreciated MGS 2 in its day, for me it's still my favorite game.
LA Noire is still amazing.
Forget Heavy Rain, it was a cult classic that most gamers have at least heard of. It's their first title fahrenheit/indigo prophecy that's forgotten about. One of the greatest games I've ever played. It was so far ahead of its time that it doesn't even get remembered as underrated.
I actually love LA Noire. Why they haven't made anymore is a mystery that needs solving.....see what I did.....I want a part 2
I can even remember when i first launched vampire bloodlines, i could not believe it's graphics, metal gear 2 it was a cosmic orgasm at the time, no ps2 game could ever dream of such a deep, perfected game. Nice list man, i played every one of them and i agreed that they are incredible games, u could make a list of games genres that disappear like commandos and desperados.
LA Noire was a great game. On my list of all time favorite games. Amazing story!
And underrated protagonist, Cole Phelps
In my Top 5 of all time.
Evolve. The game is about strategy, positioning and playing your class properly. Tracking the monster requires you to think ahead, use your tools, and predict their movements.
Evolve was such a new idea, it did not receive the love it deserved. Evolve was my 2015.
didn't you guys day la noir was overrated last year, on your overrated games list hmmm😅
Haha caughtttt.
Damn 😂😂
I watched the overrated games and the underrated one was next on the list with LA Noire in the thumbnail. lol
LA Noire is definitely not overrated.
@@jaysony8587 lol
It is extremely rare that a dislike a video, but this is well deserved.
The title and even the intro have nothing to do with the video.
For instance Virtua Fighter was critically acclaimed and was the 3rd best selling game of the Saturn, Virtua Fighter 2 being the first. Ans it's about the same story for MGS2.
I don't know if it was done for clickbait purpose or from pure lazyness, but it is bad.
I disliked too because watch dogs1 isn't on the list AND I LOVE THAT GAME ITS SO UNDERRATED I LOOVE IT. THE SECOND WD GAME IS MEH BUT WD1 IS AWESOME
Shenmue is my shit. Love that game. Have to settle for Yakuza to get my fix. Hopefully HD remakes with the other 6 chapters (I think that what was promised I know the first game is Chapter 1 and Shemue 2 is chapter 2-4)of the story will arrive someday
I spent so much of my teen years in the practice room of Psi-Ops XD . We used to try to break the game by making the biggest explosions with telekinesis, causing the most work for that havok physics engine. I think it was my first Mature game actually. One thing's for sure, it was the first game I really followed online till it's release and I had to prep my parents ahead of time that I wasn't missing it.
I love L.A. Noire, I really wish it caught on so there would have been sequels.
Me too! I think Rockstar as the rights to it. So maybe if we pester them, they might bring it back!
A jump to the 60's or 70's may prove interesting as a setting.
It was shit and there is no guarantee of a sequel. Rock star have thier hands full with GTA and RDR.
Dont forget to mention that Team Bondi was working on a even bigger project that would try to expand on the ideas of L.A Noire, called The Whore of the Orient. This game would have taken place in 1940s Shanghai which was a criminals paradise at the time, meaning eventual fantastic and puzzling cases. Unfortunately the game was cancelled so we never got to see what Team Bondi had in mind
Nobody appreciated Virtua Fighter and shenmue and alone in the dark? C'mon
The Prey reboot I think is pretty underrated. Emergent gameplay down to the simplest things like using basic logic to figure out access codes were so intuitive.
My underrated games: obscure series, just cause one (none of its sequel can compete), Saints row 2, alan wake
Saints Row 2 is my go to game
SR2 and Mafia 2.
mafia 3 for me
Psi-Ops was my PS2 jam until I discovered Metal Gear Solid 2. It was so fun. And Vampire: the Masquerade was criminally fun at times.
Saints row 2 is one of the most underrated games ever made and it's not even on this list and btw this is coming from a diehard Gta fan
Saints row and mass effect 4 life SR2 is one of the best sandbox games EVER MADE. Dude when SR3 came out and they took out the combat styles and stuff it shocked me. I love SR2 and that vision of Stillwater,it needs a remaster. Like I would totally play and updated SR2 over any SR release, I loved Stillwater
that game was class, just an updated San Andreas imo, the glitches made it great
Milad Ahmed sorta disagree I feel like saints row 2 was unique there was so much stuff to do and for the time period the game was really advanced I think saints row is nothing like Gta just because a game is set around a gang doesn't make it a Gta clone that's one of the reasons I dislike Gta because every single open world game is compared to Gta in some way I mean I love Gta but I do have some dislikes for it
+Saints row and mass effect 4 life It was about you, a gang leader, leading your gang to the top by taking control of territories. Same premise of SA. Shit, it even had the neighborhood gang war mechanic that SA had. It wasn't as Creative, fun or funny as SA.
Timothy Matheny watch out we've got a Gta fanboy here who thinks anything which is remotely to do with gangs is a Gta clone look the whole gang thing is an age old tale Gta just stole the idea of other forms of media which came before and I am in no way saying saint row 2 is as good as Gta SA I'm not but it was a lot better than Gta 4 Gta 4 was just garbage it really was and I've been a Gta fan since I was 7 but Gta 4 was completely crap and Gta 5 was mediocre but back to saints row 2. Saints row 2 had similarities to SA but every single game about a gang has similarities to Gta since Gta were the first to do it and I think your comments are quite ignorant I've got a great sense of humor and I found saints row 2 just as funny as SA it was incredibly creative not as creative as SA but still really creative all the whacky crazy fun side missions were incredibly unique and original I can think of hardly any games that had the same side missions as saints row 2 and saying it isn't as fun is again a hit ignorant as I said SA is a better game but saints row is just as fun all the stuff you could do as I said all the side missions it was just an incredibly creative fun unique underrated borderline masterpiece I think it was really advanced graphically and gameplay wise so as I said nowhere near the level of SA but still the second best gangsta game ever made and incredibly underrated and if you don't think that your either a complete Gta fanboy or just don't know much about gaming
The Punisher 2005 game by THQ was one of the best MARVEL games that ever made.
The Suffering 1 & 2 probably the best horror games on PS2 and PC.
Manhunt 1 & 2, a time when Rockstar was not afraid to make some risks, and the effort was amazing.
Postal 2 is like a game that you probably would never see on this days.
Body harvest is the first gta game that was on foot
God that's an awesome game
Being able to look over to my shelf and my copy of Psi-Ops while watching the video made that a bit sweeter showing up on the list. I've been singing that game's praises for quite sometime now.
I used to replay Vampire almost yearly, sadly the game is starting to show its age even with mod support. I bet a remaster would be a success, but it will probably never happen.
It's aged a bit but tbh Source Engine games age pretty well. I think part of the reason it aged a little more is that they were given an incomplete copy of the source engine to work with.
I love how many of my favorite games are in this list. I bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing Heavy Rain. loved that game and I loved Detroit too.
The very first hitman game had bendy grass/plants in it.
Fandango Brandango and rag doll physics in 2000
But also no save points during long missions which was a pain.
My girlfriend would hand me the controller every time driving and combat came up in L.A. Noire, but wanted it back as soon as the good part started, haha. We appreciated it for what it was. A great series of murder mysteries for us to investigate. The experience was great.
Wheres The saboteur?
Jef Rey love that game.
Really like it, but still not to be as underrated. Had several hard lacks playing it(and bugs too).
I finally picked up Vampire The Masquerade and it's a bit rough around the edges but it did finally draw me in and it's definitely a crying shame that it did so poorly. The community is badass for creating so many fixes and restoring cut content.
Urban chaos 1999 should be on here
I never played 1999 but I played urban chaos riot response that game was fucking awesome I wish it was more popular
While not entirely treading new ground, Suikoden 2 was completely panned by most critics on release since it was still using pixel graphics rather than transitioning to 3D.
Of course, now the game has a huge following.
No one:
Aboustly no one:
Comments: LA noiRE waS THe Best GAme eveR
Edit: played it. One good gAme
Hahaja
Glad to see the recognition with "Alone in the dark"... remember playing it as a kid-teenager when it came out and still remember the the tension and creepy, mistical atmosphere they were able to build, hearing the garden door noises, window noises, zombies roar, ... and the feeling of shooting a shotgun right in front of a zombie face haha... of course later on i played and finished several times Resident Evil 1, but Alone in the Dark was the one that invented this concept of survival horror as was developed years after.
Perfect Dark for its multiplayer options.
liquidgeorge Perfect Dark was loved very loved.
This list deserves an award.
Heavy Rain, but no mention of Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit?
The Getaway was awesome. Brought some realism to the GTA field.
Singuarity is a better time travel game than quantum break
Singularity is very underrated.
Yes! I lover Singularity. It's like Half-Life meets BioShock - Infinite!
It's a better Boishock than any of the sequels, the story was good fun, the three endings were pretty cool, the combat was awesome, the multiplayer was also really interesting.
Singularity was incredible.
Ertan Soner Because it was undermarketed, it had some troubled development so Activision wanted it out so they didn't have to pump more money into it. They never expected it to get a following.
Virtua Fighter was truly appreciated in its time. It is not in the minds of players now because their hasn't been an update is a decade.
But at the time was loved.
The Saboteur, EOE: Eve of Extinction, Vanquish, Bulletstorm, Blur?
I would totally buy Blur 2 if it was made.
I appreciated all of these as soon as they came out
Heavy Rain is still one of my favorite games of all time... I know I sure appreciated it! xD
I’m so glad I’m seeing a bunch of people in the comments talking about how good LA Noire was. So damn underrated just bought the remastered version to play again
It’s such a bummer what happened to Team Bondi, hopefully one day Rockstar will get he ball rolling on a similar detective game because it really was one of he best games of that gen.
They can't, they're too busy creating free dlc's for an online mode that's almost been running for 5 years.
At last someone appreciates Turok, it was an amazing game, everything about it was great, I thought I was the only one that liked it;)
Still miss Adam and Ben. The newer guys are growing on me though.
Mike, from Texas
I know about Vidiots.
Adam isn't a "sexual predator". He was kicking game at some chick and he wasn't charming or subtle enough about it and she got creeped out and took things too far. I agree he should have waited until the request for nudes, but that is a far cry from "sexual predator". God, I fuckin hate this generation.
Mike, from Texas
He was brow-beaten into saying that shit. And, yeah, cheating is a douchebag thing to do. But, not having tact, charm or subtlety isn't a crime. The chick he hit on was just hurt that the image she had of him, in her head, wasn't the reality. So she decided to pull the old "Boo-hoo, I'm an attractive woman and he made me feel upset. That means he's a monster, get him!" Did you see her? She was definitely hot. Outta his league, I'd say. But, that's all this boils down to; a lack of charm on his part and a shattered fantasy on hers.
Ricky Ray She knew him personally, they were decent friends before all that.
And how exactly do you believe was "forced" to admit he harassed more than one woman? That's the worst deflection since Kevin Spacey admitting he was gay to excuse pedo-rape.
Mike, from Texas
Lol! That is some heavy hyperbole, right there, dude. And, I didn't say forced, I said brow-beaten. He had to say that shit, to keep his girlfriend. That's what his later statements made it seem like. And, if he knew her or not, my point is still valid. She just got weirded out and started a witch-hunt. Creepy dudes will hit on hot women. It's just a fundamental fact of life. Either way, my opinion isn't changing. He didn't hit on my sister, wife or daughters, so I don't care that much. (Granted my daughters are 12 and 1. So that would definitely be a problem). And, clearly, between changing my words to "forced", saying that our (I thought) civil discourse is comparable to Kevin Spacey and calling Adam a "sexual predator", you enjoy some hyperbole.
Ben is gone?
We use to sluff school, burn, and have Driver tournaments. See who could last the longest on survival mode. Still recall how cool it was to rally through the hills of San Francisco, running from the cops.
MGS2 was much bigger than you let on
It is a shame regarding the controversy surrounding Brendan McNamara, not only was he the founder of Team Bondi and the writer/director of LA Noire but years before he was also the studio head of Team Soho and the writer/director of The Getaway. Those two games are two of the most underrated and best games of their generations.
It's not about who did it first, it's about who did it right
Its NOT bout who banged Kim K first its bout who hit it right
Rashid Sa'di yes xD
What about Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall? It held the record for biggest map for years, and it also had horses before Skyrim.
For its time, it was one of the greatest games ever made.
Morrowind is better
Virtua Fighter was a huge deal in its time. Not sure how it counts as under appreciated. Tekken was simply far better when it came along
Turok and Driver were extremely popular and got major recognition back in the day.
The original turok on N64 yeah, not the remake
*_Star Strike for the Intellivision..._*
