Wait what, visually? Sure I guess, but still one of the stealth greats, and you have mods to clean some things up if it's that much of a bother.

And as much as I enjoyed the older Hitman games, I remember thinking the animation was a bit jank even back then, pretty sure it would look laughably bad now. But still a good game is a good game.

Not every stealth game gets to age as gracefully as CT visually. Aside from some repetitive and wack ass looking character models, game holds up well.

i see the word "jank" being used to some of greatest games ever made. people use this word because most of them suck at those games. or are not AAA mainstream titles.

I often see Mafia and Deus Ex consider "Jank" by some people.

As always, it depends on the definition of flop. Titanfall 2 was generally well received by critics, but due to an insane release window it didnt sell anywhere near enough. Tf2 had some of the best sp moments ... ever...but ultimately flopped.

Yeah, this.

It had damn good multiplayer, too. Great balance, lot's of cool weapons and loadouts.

I think the singleplayer was seriously under-appreciated, too; one of the better man-with-non-human (i.e. animal, robot, alien) matchups out there. And the level design! Seriously gave me vertigo on a couple parts.

Models look like shit but you can mod the environments to look decent.

Besides the point, as with pretty much any good game, once you're engrossed pretty much won't give a shit.

Galak-Z: The Interdimensional.

I'll go to bat for this one anytime. Criminally underrated and unfortunately commercially performed poorly.

@Yams1980: Did you get the recently released Two Point Hospital which is essentially the same game as Theme Hospital?

The order (I only paid 10 bucks for it) I hope they make part 2. The graphics were amazing.

@robbie23: I meant the SNES version. Lufia II is one of the best RPGs I've ever played. But it appears to have been somewhat of a commercial failure upon release, before attracting a cult following over the years.

I haven't played the DS version, but heard it's not as good as the SNES version?

Geist and Lollipop Chainsaw if they count, they're within my top 10 favourite games. I also really enjoyed Mass Effect Andromeda, The Order: 1886, and Bullet Witch.

I agree, though it didn't get slammed critically like PB games always do

Gonna limit it to metacritic and anything that went below 80, because we all know this mediums journos only use the 7-10 scale.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege: absurd reviews on that game, so many tried to act like they were above that shit dunking on some stupid single player add on shit and "mah content" yet that game has more depth than any FPS that isn't an arena FPS or named Counter Strike, frankly it's better than Counter Strike. Then the journos tried to get on some meme take about how the game started suspect, but became great. GTFO, that game played great since day damn 1. Some technical issues here n there, but it didn't get that much more polished, the core loop was godlike from the get go. It's Ubisoft's best game since, shit it might actually be Ubisoft's best game.

God Hand: Gaming media history will remember God Hand as some niche, cult darling that had some cool ideas that people love for its cheese. Me I could take it or love it on the cheese, but it's rightfully beloved by the Action game community, because it's one of the greatest action games ever made. It has a far more free form system than what Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta offer, and unlike Devil May Cry it has enemies that actually require you to use more of its tools. As far as the action game that has the best balance between the core tools n options the player has versus the stuff the opponents can do, God Hand is the best game in the genre at that. We haven't gotten a single action game that could deliver on that front since Doom: Eternal in a completely different genre.

I fee like Six Siege never really got the props that its due in general. One of the best MP games I played this gen. Wow, God Hand has a 9.2 user score on metacritic. Would like to play it some day. Hopefully they do a remaster or something lol.

Thanks, I'll have to watch this.
