Hey you!! READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!

;)

I'm glad that the thread title was enough to make you rush in hear with haste.

I have recently stumbled upon a youtube video made by the user Blackbond. In this video, he claims that Hideo Kojima is an overrated developer, Metal Gear Solid is overrated, and he goes on to say that Sony's inhouse studios don't appeal to him and are overrated

Please feel free to watch the video here

Now i wanted to know how you felt about what he is saying in this video. He has mostly been going in on Nintendo for the most part but i guess he may aim the targets at Sony for now lol

I personally respect his opinion on Sony's games not appealing to him but i realized that this whole "overrated" thing has gotten out of hand. People just call anything overrated these days.

He admits that he has never purchased any Sony titles(except for Killzone, legend Of Legaia, Wild Arms, Shadow of the colossus, and Dark Cloud) but still goes on to say that they are the pantheon of overrated games....

.....

How can you claim that a game is overrated if you HAVE NOT PLAYED IT? You admit that you have not purchased The Last Of Us but you still claim that the game is overrated? This is the shit that i'm talking about.

People, you have to PLAY A GAME before you rate/review it. He also admits that he hasn't even really played the Metal Gear Solid games but still caims that they are overrated. You cannot play a game for 5 minutes and determine if it's overrated or not. You have to play it fully or atleast play it for 10 hours to get a good grasp of how the game is.

Blackbond makes sense sometimes but there are also times when he is wrong

So what do you guys think? Is this a good thing to claim games you have not played are overrated? Or should you atleast play the game 1st to determine if it's overrated or not?

Edit: and if you comment on his vids, please try to be civil

I wouldn't even bother with this clickbait. It is like writing a review of a game you have not played and giving it a bad score -your credibility goes right out of window.

Well, people say that having sex with animals is disgusting, despite not having tried it first. So people are hypocrite.

Obviously I recommend trying the game first, then say if it is overrated or not :)

I think Blackbond is an overrated YouTuber. Seriously this man is so blinded by fanboyism that his options are not to be taken seriously. Him and Nxtgen720. All they do is fanboy.

Your example is quite shocking though ...

Oh god not this guy again.

It doesn't make it less true.

Please tell me he is trying to be polemic and earn views, otherwise it's really sad... I thought I was hearing the reasoning of a little kid.

Yeah, if you haven't tried the game you shouldn't talk about it either really.

Now, I've played Uncharted 1 & 2, and I don't get all the hype to those games, but I wouldn't say that The Last of Us is overrated just because of that.

But I do get what he's saying about Kojima. All that man does is Metal Gear, so I don't understand the hype surrounding him. Granted, I haven't played any Metal Gear games (mostly because I can't stand that long cutscenes!!), so I wouldn't say he's overrated, only that I don't get the hype.

I knew this video would get posted here. Well done TC, now you have really done it. :)
