Today's games nominated by @teezzy and @Thing on a Spring!

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Vote for Asura.

 

[OuterSpace]

Asura even though they cut out the ending and made it dlc.

 

[Amorous Biscuit]

Asura's Wrath is just big, stupid anime fun. Completely over the top and ridiculous, though it is criminal CyberConnect2 handled the ending and the whole DLC debacle.

 

[Mista]

Damn right I'm voting for Asura's Wrath. Loved the game from start to finish!

 

[Showdown]

Yep, Asura was a good time. I need to run through it again.

 

[Snes nes]

I'm voting for asura's wrath that vexx game looks like some weeb furry crap.

 

[teezzy]

You guys don't even know what an underrated game is

shut up weeb

 

[Yawnson]

asura's wrath would do well with a sequal or graphical upgrade, and I only say that because Capcom has a good history with remakes

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

I don't even know what that weird looking furry shit is, so I guess I should vote for it? Nah, I'm voting Asura's Wrath.

 

[Erdrick]

Asura's Wrath was fucking epic. Replay value of 0 but the first time is one hell of an unforgettable ride of rage.

EDIT: Oh and the DLC was hilarious and totally worth it. 100-fold if you're a Street Fighter fan.

 

[Zefah]

Sorry, Vexx's art style makes it a complete non-starter.

[O-N-E]

That single vote for Vexx. @teezzy

I knew what it would look like before clicking the thread.

 

[DonDonDonPata]

On paper, Asura is one of the worst games of that generation. Ending hidden behind DLC, endless quick time events and cutscene spam, try hard storyline, simplistic combat system…

But it's so fun, somehow.
