Exactly. That's part of the reason why XV feels so alien to me(although it's a huge list of major changes that collectively make it feel like a different IP).

I first noticed this with DOOM Eternal compared to DOOM 2016 but now Street Fighter 6 is following the same trend as well. I wonder which other games have done this. The new arcade style hubs look much better btw.

>This topic is kinda broad in the sense that almost everyone's idea of an underrated game varies so what criterias did the OP use when arriving to their conclusion as to what an underrated game is. Don't overthink it.

By starting the next game

Gen 4 felt very rough. But it was my first gen so I still have a soft spot for it.

The slogan should be "Friends by Choice, Companion by Force".

Apparantly the game lets the player force them to work in factories as well. Very weird game.

Yeah true. Serperior is pretty badass, she needs a mega evolution for the upcoming gen 5 remakes with dual grass/dragon typing(grass sole typing is crap with lots of weaknesses)

Maleficent? The disney one?

How is legends arceus? There is a lot of hype surrounding that game and its an open world game iirc. Also I feel a similar way to gen 4 pokemon that you do about silver. I still love it though for nostalgia reasons.

Favourite - Fairy Tail Least favourite - Jujutsu Kaisen

Favourite: Pokemon Black Least Favourite: Pokemon Moon

Serperior. Looks regal and majestic

PS5 and Switch. Occasionally I use my PS3 to play exclusives on there.

I mainly mean underrated in terms of a lack of popularity.

Lol who plays horror games at daytime 😂 Nope, oddly enough horror games are the one type of games that I rarely/never play. I played Ghostwire Tokyo a few months back if that counts as one, I also played some FNAF back in 2015 when it was popular at school but other than that nope. Not that I dislike them just happened to not have played them. The new FNAF game looks cool though. Bloodborne does as well.

There paid to review them not to be good at them so it's going to attract lots of people who can't play decently to save their life and just want the money.

Ghostrunner is my pick. It should get way more hype for how quality and unique it is.

Yeah. The Bayo 2 game case literally comes with free Bayo 1 download code since it was on PS3, 360 and PC. Not a lot of nintendo fans would have played the first game before B2 came out.

Around the same price like £50 for both games(they come in a bundle).

False equivalency strawman. Yes, games are always going to have a change each entry but my point is, 15 is changed so so radically it has nothing in common with the things the previous games share in common. The previous games changed some things up but still had the same formula. FF1-10 had basically the same formula, 10 and 12 also felt similar enough. They were all turn based, semi open world or had an overworld with screen transitions for combat, combat was based around attacking, magic, skills, summons and items. In FFXV, it's based around attacking, teleporting and weapon switching. Prev games are all based in very fantastical settings whether it be medieval or steampunk or cybperpunk rather than being as the devs say "A fantasy based on reality"(hence why the series is called "Final FANTASY"), magic is magic not item bombs, summons play a more active role in combat rather than something you trigger once in a while. THAT is the series "core identity". FFXV being an open world action game where you can enter an enemy base and sneak around doing stealth kills like it's metal gear solid, use mounted turrets to fire at enemies like it's call of duty, do QTEs in combat like it's freakin bayonetta or god of war. I mean no offense but I don't get how you're equating the changes made in this game to changes made in previous game, they are not the same changes. Anyway, I don't feel like debating further because i'm just repeating myself at this point. To each our own.

Try to play Bayo 1 first if you can. It comes free with Bayo 2.

7R being a remake of 7(one of the strongest core identity FFs) is much closer to the general FF zeitgeist than XV. It is not based in reality for one, magic actually functions like FF magic in that game rather than bombs. Summons also have an active role like other FF games. The combat is half turn based and not focused around warping.

It's self explanatory. I don't see a need to debate this matter. Put a clip of FFXV gameplay side by side with a previous FF game(besides FF 13 and the MMOS). And put that game side by side with another FF game. No matter the games you choose FFXV is going to be the odd one out. Just look at the clip I sent it is like a different IP disguised as an FF game. If we talked how different FF13 is compared to prev games I would be fine debating but this is way too obvious.
