You see this is why I like Metal Jesus. He admits that a game may not be perfect, but each game with a unique premise or mechanic deserves a look... and he really gets that. Some if these games got a lot of shit when they released, but they were a lot better than some people gave them credit for. Metal is a true gamer. He plays for the fun of the game. I respect that.
I am right there with you. I own 3 xbox 360 S: 1x GoW edition, 1x Halo 4 edition, and 1x CoD MW edition. I also have 4x ferrari f438 race wheels, 12 controllers. 2 kinects, and over 300 games and collecting more witb each passing months as I discover new amazing games all the time!
That's interesting I have a Xbox 360 and love it! I love the Far Cry series and playing 2-4 and Red Dead Redemption but I plan on getting a PS4 to play RD2, For cry 5-6, Ghosts of Tsushima, Last of Us 1&2
I think the switch from the 360 to the One, or the PS3 to the PS4, was the worst console upgrade era for both parties. No wonder people are still on their old consoles. This move has turned me into a retro gamer on a modded OG Xbox. I barely play my Xbox one. Pretty much just used it for GTA online. Which is a dinosaur now. Waiting for a virtual reality GTA. I'll do that upgrade. Gonna skip the Xbox X.
@@DMurcielago totally agreed. These new games kinda suck anyway. It's all about the visual at the expense of the gameplay. But mostly, it's all about the money now. I miss the days of going to the arcade. 😢
GhostSniper3081 Funny...you claim that you're unsure if he was even alive in 2006, and then say, "Note to self: Do not reply to 12 year olds". If he weren't alive in 2006, say he was born in 2007, he would only be seven years old; possibly turning eight this year. Learn to count properly before you respond so pathetically and stupidly.
For your faceplate question, Yes I loved them back when I had a fat xbox 360 I actually had a guy in France who was doing custom plates on ebay to make me one which turned out better than any stock I've seen. I also bought that same death smiles limited edition just for the faceplate. Rock on brother!
You have totally sold Split/Second to me that looks amazing and like you i am a massive fan of the Burnout series. i know what i am doing this weekend. Thanks Jason.
@@michaelwoolfordI bought a refurbished fat and a factory slim for 55 bucks and two sealed Afterglow controllers for < 20. Are the Afterglows any good? I'm thinking I should I keep them sealed as the ligit first party controllers just feel proper.
Enslaved is an AMAZING game! It is so sad that they lacked the sales to do a sequel. With you starting the video out with this game, man, I know this is gonna be good!
So glad that you included Project Sylpheed. I also have that one and it is a lot of fun. Plus the price for that game at a lot of retailers is really low. I am looking forward to the next 2 episodes!
Sacred 2 is a great and overlooked game. I bought the game awhile back for $9.99. I ended up putting 155 hours into a Shadow Warrior and got to level 114 by the time I had finished the campaign on the Niobium level. I could see myself going back and playing it even more perhaps as a different class. It might not be as polished and pretty as Diablo 3 but I might say I actually prefer it. Thanks again for the suggestion!
7:47 Kingdoms of Amalur was one of the best surprises I ever had in gaming. I was looking for something that I missed. Something really good. And it delivered. I was hooked. Then I played it again a year later and decided to buy the DLC. I’m sure I paid full price for ancient DLC but IDC. What a pleasure.
Hey dude, as a long time subscriber and viewer of your videos I can say that your hidden gem videos are among the best videos on youtube. Mostly for me because of the new titles I learn about. Your recommendations have lead to me buying many killer titles. So thank you for that. Not so much for Flipnic on the ps2 which I thought was crap though :) I have a tip for improving a tiny little aspect on your hidden gems videos which would increase my enjoyment even further. I decide whether or not I like the games you show while watching the video. I usually keep a piece of paper next to me where I write down the titles I may start looking for. Having the game's titles on screen during all of the gameplay would prevent me from having to scrub back to find out what the title was. Just my two cents worth here.
I actually like the faceplates, it wasn't too gimmicky and it also wasn't forced upon you when buying an Xbox 360. It was a really cool way to decorate and personalize your system. Hidden Gems I think should be in the next video: DeathSmiles Shadows of the Damned
I bought several of these from all three videos today. Got them super cheap. Thank you for helping my relatively new hobby. You've educated me very much and opened up many new game worlds to me.
stumbled onto your channel looking for old 360 games to play while saving up for my new system. even though i can't stand many of these offerings, i really appreciate your style and enthusiasm for games that snobs would sleep on. thanks for the time you put into these, man.
I think it would be fun if you did a hidden gem video about download games for each system, like wiiware and psn network. also there are some great games on the dsiware. once again another great video!!
Oh that game is fantastic. Silly fun. The bad graphics, the silly story. The enemies and the AI support that yells at em. And the 2D rendered pickups. Every level is like a horde mode form any other game. Its insanely fun.
Love the videos! This series came just in time as I have been craving some fresh new games to play. I was hoping, for parts 2 and 3 you could include some interesting and diffrent multiplayer games for both xbox live/lan party and couch multiplayer. Mabye even some co-op! Keep up the great videos!
"Back in the day" - dear god, man, you make it sound like it was a Sega Genesis or something! To me, it's still current gen (mainly because I'm too broke for the Xbone).
07:46 - "Ah yes, Kingdoms of Amalar. Amaluuuuuurrrr." I laughed at that way harder than I should have. xD Awesome vid, as always MJR! Can't wait to pick some of these up.
I liked the two Condemned games that came out at the beginning of the 360's time. They were good for keeping you on edge. Similar to that, Alan Wake was pretty fun too.
Glad to see quite a few games in my collection that are in this video like Singularity, Enslaved, Project Slypheed, Split/Second...as for faceplates I personally liked them but I can understand why didn't really take off. I suppose some people saw it as "cool but useless" item and most of the plates I saw went straight to the bargain bin. I personally own the "Deathsmiles" plate and a "The Outfit" faceplate. I know quite a few faceplates (namely promo ones) have gone rare and worth some money.
ENSLAVED! OMG, this is one of my favorite games from the last generation. So good and yes, definitely did not get enough love. Another hidden gem you should talk about is Catherine! Very unique in terms of both gameplay and art style. Those James Bond games looks really neat. Never heard of either. Might have to check them out!
I love Enslaved and Singularity. I would agree both are overlooked and deserve some recognition. I have that Deathsmiles collector's edition with the faceplate and I also have bought a couple. The one I have on my 360 is the one that looks like old wood grain and makes it looks like and old Atari or something. I enjoy the faceplates a lot. Great vid.
Let's not forget how Gamecube had the emblem on top that you could remove on the early models. I remember I had a Super Mario Sunshine one I got from a magazine!
the Hellsing shirt was immediate +rep I've faded into a pure PC gamer nowadays but watching your videos has really thrown me into this state of console nostalgia, I also really respect almost all of your picks and views on the games. I'm a new subscriber and I'm excited to watch more of your videos. :D
the darkness, tenchu z, way of the samurai 3, and sleeping dogs. now I am not quite sure if the titles mentioned count as hidden gems, but I'm the only one of my friends to really play through these.
Dude! I'm a new subscriber now sitting through a streak of your videos, and I was actually thinking about if you've ever played Singularity. Definitely one of my favourite gems, it's a shame it didn't attract more popularity. Thanks for making great videos! :)
@MetalJesusRocks. I've never watched a video where someone hit All the games right on the nose! Such an amazing list of MY favorite games. Awesome awesome vid
Everything or Nothing is definitely one of my favourite Bond games and after hearing you compare Bloodstone to it I might check it out :) Gotta say though those cut scenes are kinda Fugly! ;)
My friend bought this really abstract, crazy looking plate with all kinds of shapes and lines. He had his friend's mom who was an artist do colored sharpie art on his xbox. It's a sight to behold.
I don't know if "ended" is the correct way to phrase the 7th gen current console state. Yes, the next gen stuff is here but to say the 7th gen is over is just foolery. The "last gen" is still releasing games at a faster pace then the new blood... ended or still in the middle of a final sprint tsunami?
Um no. The 7th gen is the last gen, Its not current gen. The PS4/X1 is the current gen. And with every new generation, there is always a grace period. But after 2014. You are not going to see games being released of last gen hardware. And if they do, its cross gen.
Have over 300 games several consoles, kinects, controllers, etc and going strong adding more all the time. I havent played several of these games. Thanks metal jesus
Mortal Porcupine Because the 7th generation is over. The 3DS is still the newest of it's kind. Plus, the 360 is almost 10 years old while the 3DS is like 3.
I just got my 360 and can't wait to play awesome games! I never was a collector, nor had any gaming console just always been a PC gamer. Your videos help me so much man! Keep making them.
Finally got around to play Enslaved: OTW!! Would not known about it if you had not shown it :) Long time watcher of your great stuff. Keep em' coming!! Cheers from Sweden.
Hot damn! I thought I was the only fan of Alpha Protocol out there! Being Metal Jesus and all I'm definitely counting on you to bring Brutal Legend to the table in one of these follow-up videos. For my money that was the best game of the generation.
The best hidden gem is the PC. It let's you play games past 30-40fps AND let's you make a Microsoft Excel spredsheet. CAN'T DO THAT SHIT ON YOUR CONSOLE!
Gustavo Andrade all jokes aside, I actually own an Xbox 360 and it's not bad. In fact,it has some of my favorite exclusives out there. Now, I just prefer the PC platform because of its extra features (graphics, framerates, and things and stuff i need to use for school and work like MS Word and PS . That was my point. To express my opinion and have a laugh too.
You just remind of a game to put on my list, i forgotten about Project Sylpheed, i always wanted to get that one. Thank you very much for adding that one on the list. You rock brother. Sincerely. a fellow resident from the state of WA. Ultra Maniac Gamer!
its funny. I've never held a 360 controller , or seen a game in real time.. I've seen my friends Xbox360 on a shelf collecting dust for about the entire lifespan of the console.. I live in Norway (Europe) and PS3/PS4 is huge over here, some people arent even aware the 360 exist
yeah I know!! I figure it's like this. The US buyers gets the american system cause it caters more to americans. Sony sellls systems in Japan, cause it caters to the Japanese market. There's also a sense of patriotism. Now the EU is in that sense unbiased. Playstation still get the "americanized" games cause the EU/JP market is too big for them to not reach out to. But the Xbox dont get to many Japanese titles being the systems sells so poorly in the US. So that's why I think Sony sells more in EU and Japan
Bear Kuma The PS3 has nearly the same amount of marketshare as the 360 in the US. Not quite as much, but certainly close. I won't even talk about the Wii. And the PS4 is beating the Xbox One in the US.
CyborgNinja7 yeah, 360 got a head start of one year.. Now the 360 totals at 80 million units, the ps3 82 million. Thats pretty good. but yeah. the 360 wins in the US. but every other country the ps3 wins. PS4 is beating the xbox1 all over the world. thats due to the trust people lost in Microsoft over those shitty choices they made, the selling price and the overall design vs the ps4's . The launch lineup on the xbox1 I have to admit was actually better than the ps3. but even good games couldnt salvage the face MS lost
Bear Kuma I agree, and Sony's support of indie developers and the Vita makes the PS4 a winner in my book. The ability to remote play your PS4 games on a handheld is an amazing feature, and if you already own one, then getting a PS4 over the Xbox One is obvious. I sound like a Sony sales rep now, but really I see little reason for the Xbox One in the long-run except for the Kinect and whatever exclusives it may have over time.
One of my favorite hidden gem/ sleeper titles was The First Templar, even though it came out in 2011, there's something about it, interesting environments.
I'm sorry, but considering the PS3 has far more exclusives then the 360 that people care about for the most part, I feel that this video should have been called HD 7th Gen Hidden Gems. For the 360, I feel it's the exclusives if has that would help it a lot more. I'm more of a Sony person so I would just get these games on a PS3. I do own a 360, but most of my games are digital on it due to my lack of interest in some of the exclusives on the 360. Don't get me wrong, this is a great video, but I recommend a little more title consideration next time please.
***** Way to sound mature. Ed Prins-Stairs is right, though. The ONLY 360 exclusive here is Sylpheed. Should have been "7Th generation multi-platform hidden gems" or something similar... Or don't talk about multi-platform games. Stick to 360 exclusives like Beautiful Katamari, Blue Dragon, Chromehounds, Deathsmiles, Guilty Gear 2: Overture, Lost Odyssey, Magna Carta 2, Ninety-Nine Nights, etc, etc. There's a lot of hidden gems in the 360 exclusives. Why stick multi-plats in here ?
Not to mention, with Microsoft's many recent decisions turning a lot of people off from them as well (though for me, it was when Microsoft tried to push the Kinect which for me is less practical then the Move or Wii Remote) that I started to care less about what Microsoft had to offer and more about what Sony had to offer. With all this, there's much more reason to stick with 360 exclusives so to prove that Microsoft isn't as bad as some people may currently think. I love MetalJesusRocks videos as it helps me discover many games I didn't originally know about and helps me greatly as a gamer and collector, but I just really want to see more of what is the best for each system discuss and not a game in general that is on multiple console that is talked about on a video focused on one console alone.
I feel it's debatable. I'm also going to add for the obvious one, I do not like Gears of War that much. It comes off as generic and boring. There are others I do enjoy, but I wanted it to be clear that that particular series doesn't work for me. I have nothing against shooters and there are some I enjoy, just not those ones in particular.
Ed Prins-Stairs Lol you mean Testosterone: The Game. Gears is kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Anyway I love Halo and Mass Effect (the first 2 were exclusives until a year or 2 ago). As a heads up I don't count PC releases. So you've got L4D 1 and 2, Half Life 2, Team Fortress, Portal, Alan Wake, Blue Dragon, Beautiful Katamari, Crackdown 1 and 2, the Fable series, the Forza series (not a fan of GT), Lost Odyssey, Toy Soldiers, Witcher 2 and many others.
Love your videos MJR! Just picked up a copy of Singularity from my local exchange for $1 based on your recommendation! Can't beat that price, and I can't wait to try it out! Thanks!
SupernovaDragon77 I still stand by comment about Alpha Protocol. Maybe I'm crazy, but after the 1st couple hours of leveling up in that game, it started to get really fun. By the end of the game, I was sold.
Holy shit I wasn't expecting a reply from you... I feel so privileged :P Personally I just thought the AI were garbage and the gameplay was stale and kinda uninspired.. I guess we have to agree to disagree..
Ive recently watcched your hidden gems series for both wii and xbox 360 thanks so much for making your vids they've helped a lot and you are fun to watch!
I always consider Split Second as one of the best Racing Games. Me and my friends spent hours just racing each other and still to this day, we play the game and everyone gets excited when all the buildings fall down . xD
I'm not a minute and a half in and I already love you for picking one of my favorite hidden gems on the 360. Love Enslaved to death, first game I ever got every achievement on (including the DLC ones!).
Jason, I just noticed you’re closing in on 1 million. Have you considered launching a campaign? “The march to 1,000,000” Maybe every thousand new subs you do a giveaway? When you get to a million, there will be a huge giveaway and feature the millionth subscriber in a future video? Tons of ideas, but this is a great occasion to drive awareness and new subs.
Watched this video a lot of time. Just bought Enslaved Odyssey to the West and it is amazing. Never heard of that game before and thank you for showing me those hidden gems!
Great video as always MetalJesus! I was definitely the same way with my 360 as it was my go-to console. PS3 was mainly used for the exclusives. I have Alpha Protocol, but after watching this vid I definitely have to give it a go.
You see this is why I like Metal Jesus. He admits that a game may not be perfect, but each game with a unique premise or mechanic deserves a look... and he really gets that. Some if these games got a lot of shit when they released, but they were a lot better than some people gave them credit for. Metal is a true gamer. He plays for the fun of the game. I respect that.
ScorchedCrow95 - Agreed, Bro.
I like how he hides the gems, but is nice enough to share his hidden gems. MJR is a master tier hidden gem collector.
I just wish all reviewers were like him, instead of highlighting the flaws of a game and ignoring all the other positive stuff.

So many great games. I love PlayStation and Sony. The 360 killed it that generation. Gears of War was a blast.
I love the faceplate that microsoft gave away for free to all Xbox 360 early adopters: you know, the one with the three flashing red lights?
Oh man, a RROD joke. How original. It feels like i am back in 2006 all over again. Scrub.

Still watching this, 2018.

Shadows of the Damned
Just bought Enslaved. So stoked to play it. Bums me out I had never heard of it until I watched this. Thanks!
You forgot that Obsidian made Fallout New Vegas.
Great call on Split Second, I've been looking for that "Rush" and "Burn Out" type of a game since the Nintendo 64.
Some great looking titles in there, I love the look of Project Sylpheed.
I bought several of these from all three videos today. Got them super cheap. Thank you for helping my relatively new hobby. You've educated me very much and opened up many new game worlds to me.
Not exactly hidden, but the lost planet series is an underrated gem in my opinion.
Yeah, Lost Planet is such a fun game. All three of them, in fact.
Loved that game ngl
glad to see Sacred 2 on the list...for parts 2 or 3 I would add Tales of Vesperia and Tenchu Z
I also played through Alpha Protocol twice in a row.
I've only done that with maybe three other games ever (not including old action games).
Dead Space 2 two hit me the same way. I beat it and immediately started it up again on a higher difficulty.

360 has been the most fun console in my lifetime and I'm almost 40. Dreamcast as well
I've got to go with Earth Defence Force 2017 as my hidden gem, so much fun...
Oh that game is fantastic. Silly fun. The bad graphics, the silly story. The enemies and the AI support that yells at em. And the 2D rendered pickups. Every level is like a horde mode form any other game. Its insanely fun.
Balc0ra's Gaming Great Co-op too.
Aye sadly only local. But Insect Armageddon fixed that.
Balc0ra's Gaming EDF 2050 fixed what Insect Armageddon Broke... AKA IA too damn gritty, serious, and short.
I know, but 2017 is still the best of em. 2050 is just the 2017 core game with Armageddon characters.... more or less.
I also think halo 3 was a little gem to mention too. Not too many people heard of it. Pretty fun lil game.
The F.E.A.R game is pretty good and condemned 2
Fear 2 was one of my favourites
Love the videos! This series came just in time as I have been craving some fresh new games to play. I was hoping, for parts 2 and 3 you could include some interesting and diffrent multiplayer games for both xbox live/lan party and couch multiplayer. Mabye even some co-op! Keep up the great videos!

When you said enslaved, I almost died, I've always regarded it very highly and played it to death
I love Enslaved and Singularity. I would agree both are overlooked and deserve some recognition.
I have that Deathsmiles collector's edition with the faceplate and I also have bought a couple.
The one I have on my 360 is the one that looks like old wood grain and makes it looks like and old Atari or something.
I enjoy the faceplates a lot. Great vid.
Back in the day? The 360 only just stopped being relevant, and it came out only maybe 7, 8 years ago...
Let's not forget how Gamecube had the emblem on top that you could remove on the early models. I remember I had a Super Mario Sunshine one I got from a magazine!
Omg I forgot about split second that game was sick!
the Hellsing shirt was immediate +rep
I've faded into a pure PC gamer nowadays but watching your videos has really thrown me into this state of console nostalgia, I also really respect almost all of your picks and views on the games. I'm a new subscriber and I'm excited to watch more of your videos. :D
Obsidian are the RPG master imo, New Vegas is so much better than Fallout 3
the darkness, tenchu z, way of the samurai 3, and sleeping dogs.
now I am not quite sure if the titles mentioned count as hidden gems, but I'm the only one of my friends to really play through these.
+Ryan Houk I love those games good choice man
"Back in the day"
Woah there buddy
I'm so glad you included Enslaved and Singularity, a couple of my favorite 360 games!
Have u ever tried Tales of Vesperia
+Drake Schaefer THat game is so dope!
Dude! I'm a new subscriber now sitting through a streak of your videos, and I was actually thinking about if you've ever played Singularity. Definitely one of my favourite gems, it's a shame it didn't attract more popularity. Thanks for making great videos! :)
360 was my "go to system" as well. Good vid.
@MetalJesusRocks. I've never watched a video where someone hit All the games right on the nose! Such an amazing list of MY favorite games. Awesome awesome vid
I love the 360, I have over 250 games and only a few are truly bad most games were great.
Kingdoms of Amalur! YES! That game is awesome! I'm not even into RPGs and I loved it.
Everything or Nothing is definitely one of my favourite Bond games and after hearing you compare Bloodstone to it I might check it out :) Gotta say though those cut scenes are kinda Fugly! ;)
My friend bought this really abstract, crazy looking plate with all kinds of shapes and lines. He had his friend's mom who was an artist do colored sharpie art on his xbox. It's a sight to behold.
I don't know if "ended" is the correct way to phrase the 7th gen current console state. Yes, the next gen stuff is here but to say the 7th gen is over is just foolery. The "last gen" is still releasing games at a faster pace then the new blood... ended or still in the middle of a final sprint tsunami?
Um no. The 7th gen is the last gen, Its not current gen. The PS4/X1 is the current gen. And with every new generation, there is always a grace period. But after 2014. You are not going to see games being released of last gen hardware. And if they do, its cross gen.
***** blah blah blah
Have over 300 games several consoles, kinects, controllers, etc and going strong adding more all the time. I havent played several of these games. Thanks metal jesus
Where is ride to hell we all know that games the best
+Breith Huseljic look at your profile picture lol XD
+/-
toni
Lol
glad to see metal jesus back again, i thought he was gone for good last time.
Hi Jesus of Metal!
Request - Can you do a 3DS hidden gems video? Pleeeeeeeease :D
That's too new.
Sigfee Why is it? X360 and PS3 arent exactly retro either
Mortal Porcupine Because the 7th generation is over. The 3DS is still the newest of it's kind. Plus, the 360 is almost 10 years old while the 3DS is like 3.
Sigfee Well it was just a suggestion. The channel isnt called previous gen game reviews its called metaljesusrocks
Mortal Porcupine That seemed really irrelevant, but okay.
So many great RPG's on here. Rock on Metal Jesus!
I'm wondering how these are gems. I still see all of these games at my local GameStop for pretty cheap, and a lot of people still pick them up.
they are gems not because they are hard to get, just because they are not very popular and not many ppl have played them.
Hidden gems are fun games not many know about
He said gems, not forgotten games no one played because they sucked.
I just got my 360 and can't wait to play awesome games! I never was a collector, nor had any gaming console just always been a PC gamer. Your videos help me so much man! Keep making them.
Are all these games on PS3 also?
+The Orange Guy All of the games except Project Sylpheed are available for PS3 as well.
Finally got around to play Enslaved: OTW!! Would not known about it if you had not shown it :) Long time watcher of your great stuff. Keep em' coming!! Cheers from Sweden.
Love the Hidden Gems series FOOS.
Hot damn! I thought I was the only fan of Alpha Protocol out there! Being Metal Jesus and all I'm definitely counting on you to bring Brutal Legend to the table in one of these follow-up videos. For my money that was the best game of the generation.
The best hidden gem is the PC. It let's you play games past 30-40fps AND let's you make a Microsoft Excel spredsheet. CAN'T DO THAT SHIT ON YOUR CONSOLE!
You must be fun at parties
Gustavo Andrade all jokes aside, I actually own an Xbox 360 and it's not bad. In fact,it has some of my favorite exclusives out there. Now, I just prefer the PC platform because of its extra features (graphics, framerates, and things and stuff i need to use for school and work like MS Word and PS . That was my point. To express my opinion and have a laugh too.
That's alright I just thought you were making fun of people who own consoles. You know how some PC community can be d&/ks. It's cool though
You just remind of a game to put on my list, i forgotten about Project Sylpheed, i always wanted to get that one. Thank you very much for adding that one on the list. You rock brother. Sincerely. a fellow resident from the state of WA. Ultra Maniac Gamer!
its funny. I've never held a 360 controller , or seen a game in real time.. I've seen my friends Xbox360 on a shelf collecting dust for about the entire lifespan of the console.. I live in Norway (Europe) and PS3/PS4 is huge over here, some people arent even aware the 360 exist
That is crazy! Here in North America the system is a huge success.
yeah I know!! I figure it's like this. The US buyers gets the american system cause it caters more to americans. Sony sellls systems in Japan, cause it caters to the Japanese market. There's also a sense of patriotism. Now the EU is in that sense unbiased. Playstation still get the "americanized" games cause the EU/JP market is too big for them to not reach out to. But the Xbox dont get to many Japanese titles being the systems sells so poorly in the US. So that's why I think Sony sells more in EU and Japan
Bear Kuma The PS3 has nearly the same amount of marketshare as the 360 in the US. Not quite as much, but certainly close. I won't even talk about the Wii. And the PS4 is beating the Xbox One in the US.
CyborgNinja7 yeah, 360 got a head start of one year.. Now the 360 totals at 80 million units, the ps3 82 million. Thats pretty good. but yeah. the 360 wins in the US. but every other country the ps3 wins. PS4 is beating the xbox1 all over the world. thats due to the trust people lost in Microsoft over those shitty choices they made, the selling price and the overall design vs the ps4's . The launch lineup on the xbox1 I have to admit was actually better than the ps3. but even good games couldnt salvage the face MS lost
Bear Kuma I agree, and Sony's support of indie developers and the Vita makes the PS4 a winner in my book. The ability to remote play your PS4 games on a handheld is an amazing feature, and if you already own one, then getting a PS4 over the Xbox One is obvious. I sound like a Sony sales rep now, but really I see little reason for the Xbox One in the long-run except for the Kinect and whatever exclusives it may have over time.
One of my favorite hidden gem/ sleeper titles was The First Templar, even though it came out in 2011, there's something about it, interesting environments.
why the hell did he not include Lost Odyssey? that is the longest RPG game ive ever played! it has like 5 fucking discs!
He put it in the honorable mentions of his best 360 games of all time video.
mickeyshaunoodfgb lost odyssey is exclusive to the 360 what are talking about?
the x1 can play it tho since it's backward compatible
I don't have a 360, good thing that most of these games came on PC.
They Call It The Xbox 360 Because When You See It You Do a 360 And Walk Away!
Shouldn't it be '180' degrees? 360 degrees just makes you do a full circle - still looking at the 'XBOX 360'
SmiSmoSkiSko No, 360 Is Turn Around
Peter Sheppard Are you 5?
had top mute this post cos every dip shit on the planet types the same dip shit line :)
Were you dropped as a baby?
Until now you have been my best english teacher, thanks a lot Metal Jesus!
lol the video was made barely 6 months after the next gen consoles and this dude was already talking like the 360 was used centuries ago
I picked up Singularity several years ago for $10 and it is absolutely incredible. Glad to see it mentioned.
I'm sorry, but considering the PS3 has far more exclusives then the 360 that people care about for the most part, I feel that this video should have been called HD 7th Gen Hidden Gems. For the 360, I feel it's the exclusives if has that would help it a lot more. I'm more of a Sony person so I would just get these games on a PS3. I do own a 360, but most of my games are digital on it due to my lack of interest in some of the exclusives on the 360.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great video, but I recommend a little more title consideration next time please.
***** Way to sound mature.
Ed Prins-Stairs is right, though. The ONLY 360 exclusive here is Sylpheed. Should have been "7Th generation multi-platform hidden gems" or something similar...
Or don't talk about multi-platform games. Stick to 360 exclusives like Beautiful Katamari, Blue Dragon, Chromehounds, Deathsmiles, Guilty Gear 2: Overture, Lost Odyssey, Magna Carta 2, Ninety-Nine Nights, etc, etc.
There's a lot of hidden gems in the 360 exclusives. Why stick multi-plats in here ?
Not to mention, with Microsoft's many recent decisions turning a lot of people off from them as well (though for me, it was when Microsoft tried to push the Kinect which for me is less practical then the Move or Wii Remote) that I started to care less about what Microsoft had to offer and more about what Sony had to offer. With all this, there's much more reason to stick with 360 exclusives so to prove that Microsoft isn't as bad as some people may currently think.
I love MetalJesusRocks videos as it helps me discover many games I didn't originally know about and helps me greatly as a gamer and collector, but I just really want to see more of what is the best for each system discuss and not a game in general that is on multiple console that is talked about on a video focused on one console alone.
I would have to disagree. The PS3 may have had more exclusives, but the 360 had higher quality ones.
I feel it's debatable. I'm also going to add for the obvious one, I do not like Gears of War that much. It comes off as generic and boring. There are others I do enjoy, but I wanted it to be clear that that particular series doesn't work for me. I have nothing against shooters and there are some I enjoy, just not those ones in particular.
Ed Prins-Stairs Lol you mean Testosterone: The Game. Gears is kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Anyway I love Halo and Mass Effect (the first 2 were exclusives until a year or 2 ago). As a heads up I don't count PC releases. So you've got L4D 1 and 2, Half Life 2, Team Fortress, Portal, Alan Wake, Blue Dragon, Beautiful Katamari, Crackdown 1 and 2, the Fable series, the Forza series (not a fan of GT), Lost Odyssey, Toy Soldiers, Witcher 2 and many others.
Love your videos MJR! Just picked up a copy of Singularity from my local exchange for $1 based on your recommendation! Can't beat that price, and I can't wait to try it out! Thanks!
Omg how can you like Alpha Protocol?? It's garbage...
SupernovaDragon77 I still stand by comment about Alpha Protocol. Maybe I'm crazy, but after the 1st couple hours of leveling up in that game, it started to get really fun. By the end of the game, I was sold.
Holy shit I wasn't expecting a reply from you... I feel so privileged :P Personally I just thought the AI were garbage and the gameplay was stale and kinda uninspired.. I guess we have to agree to disagree..
lol I got stock on the first mission the hacking is stupid on it
+SupernovaDragon77 I kind of liked it, I even completed it.
no it wasn't
Some great titles there matey - Split Second is probably one of my favourite racers on the 360 :)
Ive recently watcched your hidden gems series for both wii and xbox 360 thanks so much for making your vids they've helped a lot and you are fun to watch!
I always consider Split Second as one of the best Racing Games. Me and my friends spent hours just racing each other and still to this day, we play the game and everyone gets excited when all the buildings fall down . xD
Great video. Even 4 years later its helping people find some hidden gems!
I'm not a minute and a half in and I already love you for picking one of my favorite hidden gems on the 360. Love Enslaved to death, first game I ever got every achievement on (including the DLC ones!).
Jason, I just noticed you’re closing in on 1 million. Have you considered launching a campaign? “The march to 1,000,000” Maybe every thousand new subs you do a giveaway? When you get to a million, there will be a huge giveaway and feature the millionth subscriber in a future video? Tons of ideas, but this is a great occasion to drive awareness and new subs.
Awesome video!! Love the name of your channel brother!! Keep these videos coming!!✌🏼
Your intro music... Truly rocks... U earned 1 subscriber
Dude, your channel is awesome. I love it.
Watched this video a lot of time. Just bought Enslaved Odyssey to the West and it is amazing. Never heard of that game before and thank you for showing me those hidden gems!
Great video as always MetalJesus! I was definitely the same way with my 360 as it was my go-to console. PS3 was mainly used for the exclusives. I have Alpha Protocol, but after watching this vid I definitely have to give it a go.
