Underappreciated great games

Huh... and here I was, thinking LO was way overrated. The main story is pretty cliche, the fights load slow as hell, you spend more time ring managing in fights than actually fighting and half the cast is annoying (Mack/Cooke/Tolten/Jansen). On that note... oh god, how annoying is Jansen?! He's obviously meant to be comic relief but I think he had a 0.050 batting average at it, making you roll your eyes more often than drawing a snicker.

Granted, I'm painting a poorer picture than it actually is. The dream sequences are fantastic and the highlight of the game. It was good enough for me to sink 80 hours into the game, but I don't see myself playing it ever again.

I also disagree with the "Best JRPG on the 360" comment.. heh. To me, that goes to Last Remnant, which got brutally beaten down by reviews for a few technical problems that are resolved by installing. That & Mass Effect are still my 2 favourite 360 games.

On the computer, I found that the Gothic series was really under-appreciated. Heck, I've never heard of it except for when me or my friend mention it. I sank a lot of hours into that trilogy too

I guess it's a matter of taste. I actually like the story, Jansen was pretty funny (I will admit that he could be stupid at times), and I really never spent that much time ring managing to be honest.
