In our meaningless and sad wastes of lives we've all probably come across some games that were for some, to us unknown reason neglected. It made one think how can such an amazing game be so underrated and underappreciated. Is it because of poor marketing, misunderstood concept, stupid people who wouldn't recognize a great game even if it bit them in the ass? Or is it you and your crappy gaming taste? This thread is dedicated to all of the unfairly neglected RPG (or any other genre) masterpieces which suffered in silence. Let's give them a proper respect.

I'll start. Definite first place in my book is reserved for Koudelka. I didn't expect much of this game because it didnt get the best critics and no one really talked about it or recommended it to me. That's why it was one of the last RPG's on my PS1 schedule. But I fell in love with it as soon as I popped the disc into the old grey box. Intro song called "Requiem" was fantastic and it often made me leave the ps1 and TV turned on so that I can listen to it. The game itself was so good. Unique and fantastic story, well developed characters, horror atmosphere, FMV's, turn based battle system...not to mention the soundtrack! The soundtrack is just too good. All of these are the reasons why I anticipated Shadow Hearts with excitement. First two, especially Covenant, I could play all the time. Third one...the third one...it was a piece of crap. Well, that was expected since it takes place in America. I hope the developers will come to their senses asap and continue where the Covenant ended.
