Which Game is the Underground Hero of this Generation? [Poll] (56k*)

The nominees

No More Heroes.

Travis touchdown is a man on a mission, and that mission is freaking awesome. Any game by the makers of killer 7 that exists not to please the audience but as a statement of intent from the deranged mind of a man known as Suda51. This alone gives it a place on the underground heroes poll, not even mentioning he bought a lightsabre of E-Bay and proptly started chopping people in half.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.; Shadow of Chernobyl

Sometimes ambition and determination pays off. It took almost 6 years for The Zone to come into being, but being an almost unheard of ukrainian developer is not the best attribute to have when you are attempting to make one of the best shooting games of all time. Steep dificulty, crushing layers of atmostphere and sheer mind****ery, arsanals of wepons and being the Ani-Halo make this game a worthy contender. That and Snorks.

Sins of a Solar Empire.

Vast space battles are always good but this game takes it to a whole other level, it's hard to imagine it was made on a budget of under $1 million but it was. This a a game for the patient, games canlast hours and extand accross many solar systems, the game has a save feature for on-line battles such is it's epicness and grandure of scope and such here we are.

The Witcher

It seems Eastern Europe has been showing us casual heathens how it's done, if you want an RPG with an inventory that you could lose a dog in, a campaign that can last you up to 60 house without Oblivion stlye ass-hattery look no further, with a free upgrade to an enhanced feature set for all and sundry and more nipples than a small brothel The Witcher delivers oodles of deep RPG goodness wraped up an engaing story and after market support.

Valkyria Chronicles

Welkin Gunther is just a dude who loves nature and he has a war to fight, but you'll have to wait your turn!Overworks is bringing SRPGs back and for that i commend them and commend this shamefully overlooked game, with a nice mix of deep strartergy, unique art and silly names you can't got much wrong. you may be niche and you may have ridiculously named characters and cartoon warfare but you represent the underground just as much as anyone else and we still love you. Cue epic soundtrack!!

The Witcher, definitely, Geralt is just.....(To put it bluntly) Badass.

TC, as good as your choices are, it's really this.

AAAE here, more than 93% on Gamerankings, and yet people have ignored it for all these years. It didn't an ounce of the credit it damn well deserved. Same thing with this game too.

Beautiful game with a surprisingly amazing story, and innovative gameplay. 9.5 here, but due to how much hermits go crazy over Crysis, it was overlooked.

CoH is really between generations IMO, although it does qualify as an underground hero it is not really one of THE underground heroes. Good choice though, awesome game. BoloTheGreat

I still like Valyria Chronicles. I haven't played he other games so I'll take VC. I still need to finish beating that game.

[QUOTE="BoloTheGreat"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] don't forget LKSShinobishyguy

Where's Demon's Souls? It won't sell amazing, it won't score amazing around here but we all know it's among the best.

Sins was epic win. What I played of STALKER was good, VC looks awesome, and The Witcher is win. I can't choose :cry:aaronmullan

No idea what that has to do with anything, but there is nothing underground,niche, hardcore etc about NMH. It's just not very goood.

My vote went to S.T.A.L.K.E.R: SoC. I love that game. Second would go to The Witcher and then Sins.

Mirror's Edge for sure. The game is certainly underground, it got bad reviews and it's amazing. An innovative adventure all around.

Really tough choice between No More Heroes and Valkyria Chronicles. Both are great games that I absolutely love. I haven't played the other games on the list but I'm going to go with No More Heroes. It's one of the few good games on the wii not made by Nintendo. It's also the shining star of my wii collection.

Can't for the NMH2 :D

for me it's witcher

valkyria chronicles was very good, no more heroes doesn't really interest me so i've never played it. i only tried the sins demo and it was ok, though i doubt i would enjoy the full game. i need to try out stalker as that looks really good, but i might wait it out to see if the 3rd turns out better than the first.

The Witcher and Sins of a Solar not only have the good critical reception, but have enjoyed strong sales. So no to either of them Stalker is the best game out of the other 3 IMO. jg4xchamp
