Games you didn't expected to be that good..

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

Metro Last Light since I found Metro 2033 (vanilla PC version) to be an average but great looking game.

The game that took me by surprise of its quality is Batman Arkham Asylum. I downloaded the PS3 demo and played a bit then deleted it. Then news came of its sequel and found a lot of people excited. It made me curious so I borrowed a copy from a friend (shout out to Tenshin), and lo and behold... the perfect 3D Metroidvania game!

Shadow of Mordor...I was really skeptical being a fan of LotR movies but not the games. =)

The walking dead season 1. I just bought it because I was hungry for more Walking Dead after reading the comics. I thought it wouldn't be a good time waster since it was tagged with just around 14 hours gameplay. But boy, I just drowned in it. The story was gripping and the choices you had to make was very difficult at times.

Honestly, my eyes was near watery at the last few scenes. Something a game has never made me do.

It's been a while since I posted here. Anyway, on-topic:

PS1:
Valkyrie Profile - Gamespot rated it a 7/10, pero binili ko parin. Sobrang nagandahan ako. This is one of my most favorite JRPGs of all time. Ito rin lang ang JRPG na nilaro ko ng 4 times!
Star Ocean: The Second Story - My very first PS1 game. Naaalala ko: nakatingin ako sa poster sa rental shop then nilaro ko. Ganda!
Chrono Cross - (Puro JRPG ito ha! Hahaha!) Lahat kasi ng 100+ characters may character development. That's a very awesome feat!
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
At maraming pang iba!!!

PS2:
God of War - Akala ko nung una movie-based game ito (katunog kasi ng Man of War movie ni Nicolas Cage at that time!), kaya hindi ko pinansin nung una. Binili ko without knowing anything about it. Then, kaboom! Asteeeeeg!!!
Dark Cloud 2 - The story was just so heartwarming; the gameplay was so addictive! Ano pa ba ang hinahanap natin sa isang game?
Devil May Cry - That epic spider boss!

PS3:
Demon's Souls - When practically everyone made fun of it when its first trailer came out at TGS 2008, I fell in love with it right away. I didn't watch a single gameplay video of it since then. When I bought it, pansin ko 5-7 hours ako naglalaro which I never did prior to this game. Kaya Bloodborne, you're next!!!

PS4:
Wala pa. Coming soon!
Lord, give me Your heart to have great compassion; Your eyes to see with my heart; Your ears to hear with my heart; Your voice so I can proclaim Your word with boldness!

torchlight sa pc. I learned about this title accidentally while looking for decent games to play and run in my i3 laptop and I instantly got hooked, it is a diablo-clone pero it has nice touch and more simpler learning curve. So far it's a really fun game, looks like I'm gonna need to set aside my other games na naman as always :lol:

Assassins Creed II. Marami palang ideas at gameplay mechanics na nagawa doon. Nilalaro ko pa lang yung part 1 ngayon kaya nakita ko yung improvements from 1 to 2.

LTTP: Ratchet & Clank A Crack In Time

Nung una akala ko tatamarin ako pero maayos naman, consistent na 60fps at ayos yung mga weapons, panalo rin yung clank temporal puzzles at nakakatawa yung humor hehehe.

Thanks to Daniel for the sponsorshp wahahah!

I thought Transistor was good. I just couldn't bear the VA of the talking sword. Ang daldal ni kuya. Hahaha! The battle system and its interesting mechanics showed promise for me. At the end of the day inayawan ko kasi na-realize ko na may pagka Dragon Age and Mass Effect pala siya. I don't really like games like that.
