Dragon's Dogma - Does "Epic Big Monster battles" better than most RPGs past or present. You've actually got to scale up the monster and strike him. Love it, wished it got the recognition it deserved.

It does that well, and its recognized for that, the problem is, its the ONLY thing that game does well. The exploration, quests, plot, characters are all awful. This game literally hangs on its battle system and its only fun against big enemies.

Pokemon Red/Blue - It's pure nostalgia with the "Genwunners" Fanbase. even X/Y is better lmao.

Yes the game is dated and nearly unplayable, but I rate this game highly in context. It might have been the most ambitious title ever released, I mean its a [i][b]1996[/b][/i] revolutionary RPG released on a handheld console which at the time was basically only used for Tetris. For it's time pokemon red/blue was one of the most inventive and enjoyable games ever. But we are so used to the franchise now, to go back to that buggy mess gives us piss tinted glasses when reviewing it, so I half agree with your statement here, because the game isn't enjoyable today.

God-Hand - Made by "Proto-Platinum Games"(Clover Studios, same people who made Okami, got closed down and then people from that studio formed Plat-Games.). It was a goofy as fuck game with a near perfect "martial arts meets Brawl 'em' up" style combat system that rewarded creativity and actually learning enemy patterns so that you can progress the fighting spirit and unlock stronger, badasser moves. It was kinda like the anime, Beat 'em' Up version of Dark Souls before Dark Souls in terms of difficulty. Game got some mixed reviews mainly because nobody wanted to actually learn the combat system, plus as well IGN's god awful review lmao. Worth a check out.

Clover Studios were the most interesting developers of the 2000s

Can you still sing the theme song?
