 Hey guys. I'm planning a weekly series where I give obscure games or games that got undeserved bashings some spotlight. So check it out: http://plus10damage.com/blog/2015/1/28/under-appreciated-awesomeness-vol-1

 It should be up every friday hopefully. Also, I will now be posting articles every wednesday and friday!

Will be keeping an eye out on this series. Im curious to see what games you like that didn't do so hot review wise. I tend to always find some charm or good things in stuff like that so it's cool when others do to. I really need to try the Etrian Odyssey series, I've been meaning to but havent with alot of other things popping up.

Awesome :)

 It is weird what we could consider awesome now that was pretty standard back when it released. There are a ton of really great games that get released when their genre is super popular and get labelled as generic.

Oh, goodie!

Indeed :) You played any of them?

I really like those Etrian Odyssey games but I've played two now and haven't finished one.  I'm hoping to get back to IV once I get a New 3DS.

They are HUGE games. 60+ hours apparently. I've already spent 12 hours on Millenium Girl. If I can find 4 anywhere in Australia, that will be an instant buy.

4 is cool because you can also fly around in this airship.  it's a neat little addition to the gameplay.

I have Millenium Girl or rather I bought it for my son and he's finished it so I can play it. I've played some of EO IV and I enjoyed it so far but it really has no story which is both good and bad for me. Bad because it doesn't hold my interest for very long and good because there's not a lot of remembering what happened last to do when I go back to it. 

I'm playing Persona Q right now and you'll probably love that one.

Singularity I've passed up on for less than 10 bucks a couple of times but then again I'm not much into FPSs and they can make me seasick with all the bobbing up and down.

If you're not a fan of the genre, Singularity doesn't have much to offer.

 Etrian Odyssey Untold's story is surprisingly entertaining without being super complicated (so far anyway). It's cool enough that it gets you intrigued, but light enough that it never takes too much of the focus. And really, it's the characters that make it, not the actual plot.

 I started Persona Q to see what it was like. It took 2 hours to get to any actual gameplay. I gave no shits, it's great to see those characters again. I will try and finish Etrian Odyssey first though.

Well I did like what I played of Bioshock, the first Unreal and older games like Doom and Duke Nukem.

I also own that Etrian Odyssey and i'm really liking it. Haven't played much of it though.

Nice! Maybe it is a really well known title and I just think it's obscure because it's Nintendo haha.

I'm glad I got Mount and Blade for free. Even if I don't like staring at horse butts that much. What do those Star Wars mods do exactly? Undecided

Posted on February 1, 2015 2:02 AM

 Turns the game into Star Wars. All of the enemies, all of the locations, all of the weapons. It's now a Star Wars game haha.

I finally got a copy of Singularity and can't wait to find some time to play it. I watched my friend play it; plus, I love everything Raven Software does. 

Played Etrian Odyssey Millenium Girl. Love that game. It's Wizardry on the 3DS. Can't go wrong there. I'm so excited about the rumor that Etrian Odyssey 5 is coming to Wii-U. Definitely a system seller for me.

Posted on February 1, 2015 10:19 AM

That would be really cool if we got a console Etrian Odyssey. It would also explain why they're remaking the older games with stories too, since maybe 5 has a larger story focus?

 And yeah, Raven Software is the shit. Them and Monolith are my favourite FPS studios.

Mount and Blade: Warband is one of the best PC exclusives in 10 years, imo. And I don't think it looks that bad during the battles, when sun is glinting off armor and you have 100 bodies on the field. Interiors and towns look like but though.

I have played both Etrian Odyssey and Singularity.  I enjoyed both of them.  So, yeah good picks.
