Hardcore Gamer: Sometimes you just miss your mark. Some games simply don’t deliver. But just because the execution failed doesn’t mean the concept was bad. The concept can still have life and potential in his veins. The following five games were panned upon their release, but have enough creative ideas to be worth revisiting in a sequel
As consoles go, the Gamecube is pretty underrated, so it stands to reason that a lot of its games are too.
Without doubt for me it would be Eternal Darkness, one of the best videogames ever made IMO.
Eternal darkness was phenomenal. I remember panicking when I got an error code pop up and then it looked like all my saves had wiped off my memory card. That game would play with your mind.
Yeah loved it to, getting it all and getting the purple rune was great never felt like a chore. The only other game that I really enjoyed as much was starfox adventures. Great game
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is just incredible, I really hope Nintendo will do a remaster or remake of it.
Big fan of Gotcha Force. A true hidden gem that rarely gets mentioned. It played a lot like Federation Vs. Zeon which is one or my favorite PS2 games.
No Paper Mario, Geist, or Eternal Darkness is surprising. Games like Second Sight can at least be played on other platforms, but some of those games are exceedingly expensive (should you want to play them on original hardware). I've got a handful of them, but Gotcha Force will sadly never end up in my collection at $700 for a CIB copy.
THQ Nordic continues to delight fans of old toys! This time, Second Sight from Free Radical Design which was released on PC back in 2005, is now back on Steam.
Well that's a pleasant surprise. Maybe we can get Psi-ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy on there soon too.
This was actually a really good game back in the day. Shame Free Radical were never able to make a sequel to it.
Very nice! I bought the disc version about 8 years ago only to be told it's not compatible with modern windows.
April's 2021 Games with Gold lineup includes the Xbox One titles, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard and Truck Racing Championship. Xbox 360 titles are Dark Void and Hard Corps: Uprising.
Dark Void is a pretty decent game, I have it on disc for PS3 but hey... I'll grab it digitally to play on my Series S. Hard Corps Uprising is a freaking sweet (and hard) game. I've had that for a while and still cannot beat it.
@darthv72 Jesus Christ LOL, how on earth could you be downvoted for your opinion of the two games that are decent? This community sometimes i swear...
It must be those that have beaten Hard Corps Uprising. That is their way of telling me I need to get good.
This is why sites like Reddit are trash. They auto-punish users who gets downvoted - thus if you have an opinion other than the poitical correct majoirty, you're getting all sorts of blocks.
I'm all in for Dark Void and Hard Corps, but look... people have opinions. Maybe a majority of peeps don't agree with his opinion so they hit the disagree button, I don't know it makes sense to me.
@Supernintentendo
Best thing to do is not worry about those little arrows below your comment, and just say want you feel. You'll be much better off when you don't care about yours or soomebody else's downvotes.
On topic, I also have Dark Void for PS3, and it was pretty decent. Good enough for at least a playthrough.
Since when do people care about votes on here? Everyone on here knows darthv72 is an xbox guy, he'd get more disagrees for saying white is white and black is black.
Some people act like someone spat in their faces or they're credit score would be impacted. Some people don't agree.... .life huh
IGN said, "Dark Void is one of those games you'll play, beat, and forget ever existed."
Exactly my experience.
Dark Void possibly killed my phat launch PS3, with countless crashes and slowdown. So I have mixed feelings about that one lol. Mediocre game at best, and runs terrible on PS3. Hopefully the 360 version is better...
Loved Hard Corps! But yeah get better 😆. By the time you unlock all the abilities you it just gets easier. Makes me wish they would continue with Hard Corps.
Legit cringe when MS promotes Achievements and GamerScore. Sad state of affairs for them to be that desperate.
Making out those games are still worth $129.99 is bad enough 😑🤣 yeah maybe 10 years ago. Worth about 12.99 these days 🤷🏻♂️🤣 ✌🏻
Lol the Austria leak was fake then. This looks better than last months which was rubbish
*Truck Racing Championship*
"monitor tire wear..."
Yeah, that's what I want out of a video game. /s
What have they got in store for next month, Vehicle Inspection Sticker: The Game?
It's a racing game.
It's no different than monitoring your health bar in an FPS or the time you spend watching a cutscene rather than playing.
God I'd love to see another P.N.03. I still sometimes wear the glasses that came with pre-ordering it.
Alpha Protocol, anyone?
Xbox One....................just kidding, no need to get upset.
This is how I feel about Amy. After it was patched, it was a decent game, and I'd like to see it get another chance.
