I was pretty sad when Rayman Origins didn't sell well, though I guess it could have turned out worse

+1 for Ghost Trick. Has Capcom said whether or not the iOS version did well?

Actually, forget Innocent Sin.
THIS is why we can't have nice things.
We get a Sakura Wars title localized after a decade+, and all the fans do is take a dump on it.

Yep. This game does so many things right when it comes to dialogue and decisions, but it's hampered by performance issues and general lack of polish. I've played the game ~7 times and each time something is a bit different in how the game plays out. There's not much else like it.
A successor with more tighter gameplay and polish will forever only exist in my imagination :/

He doesn't know what he's talking about obviously. There's a sequel in development, and:
edit; I was talking about Alan Wake's American Nightmare for the sequel. Just forgot it was already released.

Kid Icarus Uprising. Underneath it's very dividing controls is an absolute blast of a game that puts even Nintendo's best developers to shame as far as production values are concerned.

Bulletstorm (That game was dumb, but it was a good kind of dumb)
Syndicate (Never played the original games, so I have no frame of reference for the apparent disembowling EA performed on the franchise by turning it into a FPS, but it was a good shooter with some nice mechanics and a good story if you took the time to read all the infologs or whatever they were called. Also, the multiplayer was fantastic.)

ZombiU, apparently.
And Shenmue I & II. They did alright, but needed to do super alright.

Way too many to list. Elite Beat Agents is the most heartbreaking one out of all of them for me personally though. That game and its short songlist had more heart, soul, charm, humor, and good writing in it than most of seventh gen combined. iNiS's fate of developing bad Black Eyed Peas Kinect games is absolutely tragic, because they had a perfect track record before that.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is up there too, though I attribute the US handling of the franchise post-AAI more to Capcom being Capcom than anything. Others include the US localization of Dragon Quest VI, Child of Eden, the Wii U in general, Red Steel 2, EX Troopers in Japan, Rhythm Heaven Fever, and I guess F-Zero GX kind of (even though it still sold okay, I guess it wasn't enough for Nintendo).

I'm with you! Best game in the Saga series by far.
But I can totally see why it didn't work, since it came after a first game that sold very well but kind of divided players and a sequel that plain sucked.
Every morning I wake up hoping, 'Today will be the day the announce a Psi-Ops sequel.' And everyday I'm perpetually depressed.

I loved this game when it came out

Yes ! This
Don't get me wrong, I like the L4D and RE series, but other than maybe State of Decay, I haven't played anything that made me think I needed to try so hard to actually survive what was going on.
ZombiU made had me play slow just so I could try and get a survivor going further than the last one I had, and I thought that was great. Plus I like that I still felt genuinely panicked and threatened in the endgame instead of an RE where I have so much ammunition by that point that encounters just seem trivial.
It's all an opinion of play style, honestly. ZombiU gave me the kind of zombie game that I wanted, even with an incredibly loose narrative.
from what i understand, xenosaga 3 is actually xenosaga 6.
episode 1 and 2 were meant to be episode 1. what was meant to be episodes 2-6 were condensed into xenosaga episode 3 either through the pre-game book thing or the game itself.
The only issue I had with that game was oil man. Even Archie wont touch oil man , they put a scarf around his face and was done with it.

I still play the game a fair amount. I'd love to see a sequel on 3DS.
