Hidden Gems!

PS3 ended up being my Musou Machine. Though to be fair it did receive the best entry in each respective series. It was a good time to be a Warriors fan.

Dynasty Warriors 8
Samurai Warriors 4
Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate
 
I’m able to emulate the original Xbox on my Steam Deck, which I’m pretty excited about since I’ve never owned a Xbox, but I can’t seem to find a ton of games for it. Does anyone have any recommendations for exclusives or even games whose best versions are on the Xbox? For context, here are the games I have so far:
  • Burnout 3 - Takedown
  • Fable
  • Halo
  • Halo 2
  • Indigo Prophecy
  • Jet Set Radio Future
  • Ninja Gaiden Black
  • Panzer Dragoon Orta
  • Psychonauts
Fromsoftware released a really good xbox exclusive, Otogi: Myth of Demons

The SEGA titles that are trapped on there.
There's a few FROMSOFT joints as well.
 
Stop what you're doing and go play Jet Set Radio Future already. That game ain't just a game, it's a whole ass cult of personality. Sure, it's not the most polished experience ever, but it's an incredible game artistically and environmentally.
Even to own, unless you’re a weirdo who wants the stand-alone copy, it’s extremely cheap too. It was one of the first games I got with my XBox when I got it used. It was, like, $7 for a complete copy of the bundle.

its short and sweet, love the asthetic of it and its just one of those that stuck with me for far longer than i expected.
 
Were yall not born then¿
ONLY ON SONY games that I played on samsung 40" 3DTV AMAZING.
Nowadays I can play them in 3D with 3D video headset but the 3D effect are not tge same and minimum fx, because its in fixed position in front eyes, whereelse with 3DTV and 3d glasses you can move ur head in "any" 3D position to see/shift/around thus gives realistic pop out 3D effects like in real life. thus even 3D VR cant recreate pop out 3D.
Uall missing out the goat 3DTV effects.

Killzone 3 in 3DTV
Uncharted 3 in 3DTV
Motorstorm Apocalypse, in 3DTV
Resistance 3 in 3DTV
God of war origins collection in 3DTV
ICO & Shadow of Colossus collection in 3DTV
Gran Turismo in 3DTV
Crysis 1,2 in 3DTV
Wipeout 3D

Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi
Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires
WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2011
Rock Band 3
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
 
Thanks for all these suggestions (it's actually harder than you would think to find good hidden gems, even with a hundred youtube videos titled "360 hidden gems" its all common stuff).

I would recommend 2 Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG) that I think are awesome.

True. I made this thread when the forum just started. By now I’ve played basically everything suggested.

Ah some pretty cool recs.
 
Motorstorm Pacific Rift - probably the best racer on the system.
Boku no Natsuyasumi 3 - The best version of the legendary series. Shame there is still no translation patch.
Virtua Fighter 5 - I think the first release was better than the "Final" edition as the campaign mode was fantastic.
Yakuza 0 - As this came to PS4 as well, people often forget it's on the PS3 too.
Daytona USA - A digital game, but one that took the arcade original and somehow made it even better.
Outrun Arcade - Very much like Outrun 2, but this time in HD!
Assassin's creed 2 - The best game in the series. By far.
Uncharted 2 - The second best game Naughty Dog ever made. Only beaten by Uncharted 4 on PS4.
 
Hi everyone, how's it going?

I wanna thank everyone that's posted in this topic. I haven't gone through every post everyone's made yet, but almost everything that I've seen posted is indeed something that was never popular, or ever had a cult following. I'm really impressed and proud of you all.

I also wanted to recommend a yt channel that covers that also are actual hidden gems.

Brave Prove:
I bet that you didn't know about this PS1 RPG, I know I sure didn't.

Shadow Struggle

Loaded:
I'm afraid of getting modded so I won't post a pic, but it's a very bloody, gory smash TV type game.


Langrisser 4:
I know that the first 2 might have a cult following, but I don't know about the rest of the series. It's thankfully got a fan translation.

Gekioh

Asuncia:

Oh hey, a PS1 Turn based rpg that is neither strategic, nor does it look or play like Dragon Quest.

Captain Commando:

Why didn't anyone tell me that there's a PS1 version of Captain Commando? What other PS1 side scrolling beat em ups do I not know about?

Cyberbots Fullmetal Madness

Gear Fighter Dendoh:

Oooh, and here's another PS1 side scrolling beat em up.

Goemon The Grand Cycle Of Oedo:

Yay! Another Goemon got a recent fan translation!

Ok, well the first few pages were for actual hidden gems anyways. The last 2 pages make me wonder if anyone that's posted in them read the intro post.

Dark Cloud 1 and 2? Really?

Bully? ARe you for real? it's Rockstars most well known title on the PS2 after the GTA games.

Please re-read the intro post, I'll share it again:

I feel like I've asked this everywhere else. I've tried googling, gamefaqs, and reddit, but no one seems to actually know some titles that actually are under the radar.

When I say actually under the radar, I'm talking titles that were never popular, and still aren't.

Genres that I'm interested in:

Action games, Action-Adventure, RPGs(that aren't super tactical), And Story-Rich pure adventure titles(not to be confused with puzzle games.)

Examples of what I'm looking for:
7 Blades
for example is extremely under the radar, it's my pick for the most fun game on the PS2
Eternal Ring is an another example. It's a very under the radar title from before From Software got big, and is still pretty unknown
Growlanser Generations was actually pretty under the radar, as it was Working Designs final game, and it did pretty terrible, and as far as I know there's no cult following. It is very under the radar. Also, despite being a tactical rpg, it's doesn't actually require you to be strategic, and the story and characters are so compelling. I'd love to find more like it.
Ring Of Red is way too damn hard for me, as it requires a lot of strategy. It's not for me, but it is very under the radar, so please do recc under the radar titles like this.

Examples of what I'm not looking for:
Shadow Hearts(My favorite rpg from asia!), Valkyrie Profile 2, and Radiata Stories
is an example of a title that isn't really known by a lot of people who don't really know the ps2, but if you still really love the system and you were big on rpgs during the systems lifetime and you had the internet, you've known about them for decades. These are not what I mean when I say under the radar. They have a decent sized cult following too.
Clock Tower 3, Haunting Ground, and Rule Of Rose have a huge cult following
, and are not what I mean when I say truly under the radar.
Dues Ex
got a ton of attention on the PC, which is my main platform of choice. This is not what I mean when I say under the radar.
