    There are quite a few games listed in this thread that do not count as underappreciated.

    o.O

    Are you saying they deserve no appreciation, or that they are very much appreciated?

    They are already appreciated a lot.

    Harvest Moon games are pretty awesome. They don't get a lot of attention, but I wouldn't call them underappreciated. I can imagine that Harvest Moon appeals to a limited audience in the first place.

    It's kind of surprising how little attention they get, yet how many of the games continuously get churned out.

    I don’t know if it got mass appreciation in obscure circles of depressed nerds, but: Sentinel Returns.

    Yea its true it does have a regular steady dispersement among the general gaming population, but you never see adverts for it like other games, and its also verrrrrrry rarely rated on any shows. I didnt know there was a Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town till about six months after it came out. This makes me assume that its because people underestimate it.

    Virtually every Wii game except FPS's, SPM, and TP (IE Excite Truck, Truama Center)

    Virtually every DS game that isn't first party or Final Fantasy III (and maybe Castlevania). Perhaps EBA is an exception too,

    To sum it up: Any Nintendo game that isn't first party, with some FPS and RPG exceptions (IE Tales of Symphonia and Red Steel).

    Final Fantasy XII just so much hate that it is ridicolous. It was just different being more political and epic and few people liked it because of it.

    Final Fantasy X-2. In short, it wasn't bad it could just be a lot better.

    Final Fantasy II: Ya...


    Other games:

    Dark Cloud 2 is never really talked about. It was a good game IMO, and if someone nevered mention it I would have never played this good game.

    Golden Sun: It is treated like a mediocre RPG even though it is one of the best, if not the best, handheld RPG.

    Pokemon Ranger: It was actually a decent spin-off, though many people (including me) would have never gotten it if it wasn't for the Manaphy egg.

    Most non-shooter/racing games on the Xbox (like Oblivion is hardly ever talked about casually. The only time it is used is when it comes to comparing graphics, in which its screenshots are compared to other games. And that is just Oblivion. Morrowind is like unheard of except by ES fans)

    That is all I can think of at the moment.

    X-Com: Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense
    Warzone 2100
    I-War
    Colony Wars (I know they got good press, but... people don't rave as much as they ought. :P)
    Eternal Champions
    Little Big Adventure (Both)
    Suikoden I & II. The later ones have gained more popularity (Still not enough, given that it's the best series of games ever), but these first two are fairly unknown outside of our circles.

    I couldn't agree more with you on these ones, especially XII, that game gets hated on way too much.

    Anyway there's only one game that comes to mind and that's Psychonauts, truly one of the best games and platformers to grace the PS2 and X-Box.

    The response I was waiting for. I really do like 3 the best, though.

    What!? Um... Oblivion is talked about all the time. However I do agree that XII is hated tooooo much! I love that game! But yeah... Oblivion owns! And in case you haven't read my other hundred posts that has said it but; I just got it today! YAY!
