Name a game that is excellent that many don't know about.

My obligatory Septerra Core post.

That game was smurfing awesome, despite a few.... minor bugs.


Also Brigandine: Legend of Forsena is among my favorite SRPGs.

Bowser's Inside Story is the best Mario RPG in existence. And yet all people ever talk about seems to be Legend of the Seven Stars, which honestly isn't even that good.

I haven't played Inside Story, but for me its competition would be Thousand Year Door.

I'll add Mega Man Battle Network 3. This series often gets overlooked entirely (a Mega Man RPG? lol). But until MMBN4 killed everything good about it, it was actually a really fun and well done bunch of games, with the third entry being the best.

Way of the Samurai. If you want a cool choose your own adventure style game where what you choose to do actually affects things dramatically and it's short enough to replay many times over, this is the game.

Always wanted to try that but never did. Is that for PS2?

Yup. Worth checking out. If memory serves I imagine it's a bit rough around the edges by today's standards but what wasn't in the early PS2 days.

It's for several consoles. There are four games in the series. 3 and 4 are on PS3. I have WotS 3, but I haven't finished it cause i got stuck and forgot where to go next.

To be clear I'm referring specifically to the first one which you'll only find on PS2 outside of Japan. Played a bit of 2 which kind of scaled the size of the world you're in up quite a bit and I felt it was kind of too much for me to get into. The size of the first game just worked for me. Never played the others.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG in existence. And yet all people ever talk about seems to be Legend of the Seven Stars, which honestly isn't even that good.

FTFY.

*sigh* That's the problem. Everyone keeps talking about Paper Mario while Bowser's Inside Story remains forgotten. That's why I mention it in this thread.

[FinalxxSin]

Bulletstorm imo is a slept on title.

I've played Bowser's Inside Story. While a good game, TTYD is still the king of Mario RPGs imo. Then again I haven't fully played through SMRPG myself yet.

[Fynn]

Still, people actually talk about TTYD.

I was just reminded of this series recently due to the old development team thinking about rebooting the series on cell phone (along with the Wild Arms series) but that would be the original Arc the Lad series. Not necessarily the best Tactical-RPG series but one that has enough character and spunk to keep you interested.

I couldn't get into the first one, but despite it's flaws I do enjoy 'Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits'. I'll get around to 2 and 3 one day.

The very first game is a bit nboring but thankfully really short (like ten hours) but it's really Arc the Lad 2 where the game seriously picks up, but it works best if you've played the first one cause it sets up everything in the sequel.
