Play-Mag writes: Opinions: everyone has them. To the point someone should come up with a witticism about opinions, that they are like… elbows… or teeth… or something with more negative connotations that everyone has.
But opinions aren’t always right, and mob opinions, like the type that pop up on the internets in mobs of their own – metamobbing – can often get carried away in one direction or another, claiming a game is fantastical and wonderful or, more often, that it’s a pile of re-digested vomit defecated onto the plate of your own beloved family member before they are forced to re-eat it and you have to watch them. Also you’re naked. They’re that bad, at least according on which forum you look on.
But these mob opinions that seem to take over, or the mob apathy that washes over, or the mob praise that muscles its way past genuine, constructive criticism aren’t always right. And here’s eight times they were wrong and this definitely isn’t a hit-baiting way of saying ‘eight overlooked games’ no siree not here.
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
Step into a dystopian world full of robots and cyborgs with Binary Domain – the sci-fi shooter game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Let's revisit this classic!
I personally enjoyed this when I played it. I know it wasnt reviewed well but f em
pretty solid third person shooter played from start to finish, also there is another great third person shooter game from that time and very unique called Inversion.
Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the makers of the Yakuza games, Binary Domain is an extremely underrated cyberpunk third-person shooter. Directed by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the mastermind behind the famous Yakuza series, the game is quite different from his previous works. Nagoshi stated that he wanted to explore the themes of life, more specifically through the use of robots. It’s a cyberpunk-themed game, and the game has interesting views on technology, robots and how society would behave in such a world. There are numerous references to other cyberpunk works and fans of the genre will be pleasantly surprised.
I'm looking at my copy right now. I got rid of a bunch of 360 games years ago but I just couldn't part with this one. It was really something special. I've recommended it to several people over the years and almost all of them have never even heard of it.
Funny enough I bought Binary Domain on the cheap 2 days ago... it's actually a brilliant single player. The storyline is a great bit of sci-fi, the characters are witty and feel like they're interacting with each other and the gameplay is fun and fast paced whilst you never seem to be in the same environment twice.
All in all, if you're missing this game, you're missing out too.
The only crap bit was the intrusive learn the buttons bit at the very start of the game.
Binary Domain is IMO one of the best games i have played this year! Great gameplay, story, & a lot of fun to play!
KOA:R was one of my favorite RPG's ive played this year, i liked Reckoning way more than Dragon Dogma...of course that is IMO
i do agree with Binary Domain being on this list, but NBA 2K12?
that i dont get.
Binary Domain was definitely a sleeper hit for me, especially after the mediocre scores it received. Turned out to be one of my better ones.
Both my wife and I got the plat for KoA, it was a lot of fun all the way through. Binary Domain is on my wish list on Amazon.com and my queue for Blockbuster.com. We'll see what happens first: a good sale, or an available copy gets mailed to me.
