Okay I'm not knowledgeable about games' scores and such and it might have gotten decent scores, but I have a feeling this game is underappreciated (as in, not enough people have played it/know about it).

Hi. Mah name is Atsumete (Japanese for assemble). I don't watch a lot of anime, but if you can recommend any anime to me that is sci-fi and/or fantasy that is 13+ with some fanservice please tell me!

Dunno if i would call it the most underrated but i do consider Dragon Age 2 to be underrated compared to other games like it. The complaints that the environments are repetitive and the fact that the story is broken up in a way that you feel like you are doing side missions most of the time ARE valid points. However they are also true of Persona 3, a game which pulls that shit for 2-3 times the length that DA2 did yet is called one of the if not the best RPG ever made by a ton of people.

Majora's Mask, in comparison to Ocarina of Time. For having a better story, a richer overworld with sympathetic characters, more consistent difficulty, and for revamping the time travelling dynamic.

I would say the most underrated game ive ever played would probably be Rogue galaxy. I love level 5 games but for some reason that game doesn't get near as much as attention as like dark cloud 2 or dragon quest VII. But i consider it being an amazing game.

Deadly Premonition. Lots of people can't get into it and find it to slow and boring but the comedy works really well and the plot is quite good. More people should give it a chance.

I don't think you know what the word "Bias" means.

Duke was crap.
you do realize that by insulting the game I'm calling underrated your only proving my point even more that it is underrated

and the fact that your trying to prove to me that a game is bad that i like just shows you have bias, if you didn't have any bias you wouldn't give 2 shits either way about what my view is but no, you reply to me to try and say that i don't understand what im talking about and by saying the game is crap you are also trying to say my opinion is wrong and that your is right

If you truly believe you are not bias then answer me, what were you trying to accomplish with that comment? and don't give me the BS excuse of "i was trying to show my opinion on the game". Cause if you were then you would not have brought up how i don't know what bias is and your analysis of the game would have been more than 3 words

Under rated, can't help you there, but, I know of a number of under known games, that sadly suffer from being simply too outside of the mainstream to have been encountered enough.

We have all heard of RTS ie Real Time Strategy (frankly a term so utterly lacking in accuracy). But how many of you know of the company Panther Games (australian). They make a series of titles, that began with Highwy to the Reich went on to Conquest of the Aegean, and has also more recently created Battles from the Bulge. Real time the way real time should have been made years ago.

In these games, the speed of your mouse control will do nothing for you, if you make wrong decisions, you lose. The game simulates an actual chain of command. No repeatedly changing your mind and repeatedly giving units micro control. Likely among the best games for illustrating if you actually are any good at command and strategy at the tactical level.

I could likely mention a few other games I am fond of that are simply too far removed from the minds of mainstream gamer, not so muc under rated, as just under exposed to the market.
While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku.
At least I can go see her in concert.

"Bias" is an inclination to present or hold a partial perspective at the expense of (possibly equally valid) alternatives.

Toll house cookies are better then Chips ahoy cookies, because I like Toll house. that's a Bias.

You don't know what Bias means.

Duke was crap because it was a 15 year old game that played like a shitty modern game

It had no challenge what so ever,

had none of the game play elements Duke was known for.

It looked like shit,

even after all that dev time it was still glaringly rushed and unfinished.

It made fun of modern shooters yet copied all their flaws.

The only reason people gave a shit about it was because of the Hype.

Gearbox spent more money on advertising the damn thing then actually used in it's development.

It was obviously pushed out just to make money and capitalize on the hype.

The Humor was ignorant, pathetic and out of date.

The combat and weapon selection was so simplified it was almost like it was designed for toddlers.

Half the controller is devoted to childish gimmicks.

and was easily the worst Duke game to date.

It would have been a half-decent game were it finished five or ten years ago, where the technology and gameplay conventions it used were actually current for it's time. Hence, low review scores, low opinions, no more Duke.
