Ragdoll Kung-Fu game trailer

Trailer for what must be one of the most useless games. Guess it is fun playing it when your really intoxicated? Ragdoll Kung-Fu

youtu.be

Ragdoll KungFu. First game on steam that wasn't by valve. I remember just buying it becuase it was on steam, and really hated it, but remember there being a lot of buzz around it.

what other games will forever be forgotten in history. (except for in this very special thread)

Holy crap.

I remember playing this on PS3. In the very early days. I don't know if it was free at some point but I got it.

You could use the camera to be in the game. Maybe it was bundled. I loved it. I was very young though.

Wrath of the Gods, a purportedly educational point and click adventure game from the '90s that was surprisingly funny. I have never met a single other person who has heard of it.

It's no God of War, production values wise...here's Atlas holding up the sky.

Lol, I remember that game, it was pretty hilarious!

Novel at the time for being an RPG without pre-rendered backgrounds. Me and my friends went crazy for this but it seems to have been completely forgotten in the intervening years

Future Cop LAPD, G-Police and Colony Wars. All great games at the time.

How dare you?

Nobody ever forgets COLONY WARS, even those who never played or heard of it!!1
But you're right, they were all great games.

It's crazy because I think all of those would still be really well received these days. G-Police and Colony Wars for sure. CW and it's sequel were amazing.

So true! Sony has to be preparing their return on PSVR2!

Disintegration better be in this list, it basically had one trailer and by the time I looked for the release date it had come out and just disappeared already!

I spoke with someone last year who thought this was Dead by Daylight DLC.

Unless we're talking about Colony Wars 2492 which nobody knows of.

I can't believe no one has made a game in this genre since. Basically realistic driving physics coupled with realistic mounted weaponry. It was extremely fun and played amazing. Like MechWarrior but with cars. Autoduel in 3D.

The sequel was dumbed-down garbage.

Yup, this was truly amazing game.
Remake with VR support would be incredible. (Or just the old game in VR.)

Since I grabbed it urgently before the Wii Shop closure:

...there's probably a decent number of Wii Shop games to flag up, actually.

kratos01 · May 20, 2021

One of the best FPS game on PS2. Unfort. the game crashs on PS3 at one point and you cant go on.

AIan · May 20, 2021

I remember Valheim used to be talked about all the time, it seems to have just diappeared from my Discords and Twitter etc

This is on gamepass on Xbox at the moment so hopefully more will play it now. By far one of the best looking ps2 games

A stealth game. Cheesy story with bad acting, but otherwise wasn't half bad.

Played it and finished it on Gamecube. Good game.

I replayed that a few months ago. Pretty damn good game actually.

How about Blast Off, the sequel to Bosconian? I didn't even know about it until I read it in Hardcore Gaming 101's Shoot 'em Ups Vol. 2.

Approximately probably best to think of it as "Space Invaders Pikmin". Although that's rather loose.

Kind of still want that game tbh. I'm a huge fan of the NES-iteration (which is objectively better than any other version based on the arcade version). Never bought it though :(

KhandoleezzaRice · May 20, 2021

One of these was forgotten.

Edit: Actually give it a few more years and the other will probably be forgotten too.

Hillside · May 20, 2021

The Darkness 1 & 2 and Darkwatch come to mind

What I wouldn't give for a re-release or sequel to Darkwatch.

I haven't forgotten! I loved that game.

YohraUtopia · May 20, 2021

Red Steel II, actually kinda amazing.

OneTrickJeffrey · May 20, 2021

An arcade/adventure flight sim from the PS2 launch window. Notably, the music was done by Kow Otani, the composer who worked on Shadow of the Colossus.

It was a good game and it would be a perfect fit for the Switch. Sadly Ubi doesn't seem interested in bringing it back.

Should i buy this? Looks cool.

you should not. it is bad. it was one of my most anticipated games the year it came out and was a HUGE let down.

Deleted member 37928 · May 20, 2021

Kinda crazy that this series was really popular during a certain period in time, despite being infamous for its lack of quality. And now no one talks about it, which is good I think. But I really remember seeing a new Army Men game back then and thinking "oh ffs, another one of these crap games?!"

I found it at a second hand store for ~4 dollars a day or two after posting. Bought it. Played it in one sitting last week. It was not good, haha. Extremly generic, annoying and frustrating dog fights and very unpolished overall.

Feels like the game magazines i subscribed to reviewed one of theese every month for a couple of years back then.

HylianMaster2020 · May 20, 2021

the Ubisoft conversation right now is assassins creed, rainbow six instead of ghost recon.

Cyberpunk

I was stuck in traffic in Manhattan the other day and right above me on the side of a building was a remaining Cyberpunk billboard. There was a graffiti of a turd and some other random shit all over it. Pure poetry

How are you supposed to know what this game is about by looking at the case lol

I remember I don't think I realized this was an SRPG as a kid until I reread a magazine. Like, the first time I saw the game I assumed it was some hack 'n slash game and then months down the road I re-read the Nintendo Power review and realized it was an SRPG and was suddenly slightly interested.

Wow i didnt even know this game existed, looks kinda neat. And yeah, Rygar PS2 was pretty good, PS2 has some pretty amazing games that nobody mentions anymore

AmirMoosavi · May 21, 2021

Suddenly remembering playing the demo of this:

Then when I went to Wikipedia, I was reminded that I also played the demo of this before that:

Have never seen either game discussed in the intervening years.

I think this was the first game I owned on my new PC in 2008. Don't think I've ever seen people talk about it since then.

I loved this, it really captured the myths and fantastical nature of ancient Greece. Had a decent combat system too, such a shame it was a flop commercially.

jesu · May 23, 2021

Playing The Wild At Heart reminded me of Overlord which I don't remember seeing getting mentioned much at all.
But then I did a search and someone made a thread about it in January so it doesn't really count.

This also spawned the spiritual successor Vigilante 8/2nd Offense, another series nobody talks about anymore despite it being the best car combat ever.

Activision put out a half assed XBLA "remake" in 2008 and nobody noticed.
