That still doesn't change the fact that it gave developers a headache and helped financially wreck Sony.

Again, they aren't talked about that often. Good job just naming almost every Blizzard franchise. WoW is declining in popularity, Diablo is now considered a good game, but was widely criticized when it came out, Starcraft campaign is played once by most people and then never touched again (multiplayer community is very small), HOTS is incredibly new, and Overwatch hasn't even been released yet. How the fuck are any of these overrated?

Naughty Dog games bore the hell out of me and I bought The Last of Us to see what all the positive press and word of mouth was about, but I don't much care for it at all.

Which brings me to my next point: most of Sony's 1st and 2nd party output (and the franchises they created) during the PS3 era were uninteresting to me. The Uncharteds, the Infamous, the Resistances, the LittleBigPlanets, etc. Sony's partnership with David Cage also produced games that I didn't care for.

I also like it when one console is dominating. As a consumer, I don't want to split my gaming library between three different consoles and if one is dominating with the vast majority of releases, that's fine with me. Many say that a dominating console is bad for the industry, but it was good for me as a consumer when the PS1 and PS2 were kicking ass and getting the majority of games that I enjoyed. I didn't have to spend money on another console (though I did buy Ninty consoles).

Some games suck. Examples include games such as GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Halo. Why?

GTA IV lacked fun, and its driving controls were horrible. I just couldn't stand the camera not being able to decide where it wants to be. I had to control it manually because it wouldn't stay in a comfortable spot by itself, but just when I thought I had found a good spot for it, the game decided to move it somewhere else. It literally killed the game for me, even though it wasn't that bad otherwise. (The shooting sucked though.)

MGS4 wasn't a bad game, but it was a bad Metal Gear. Oh, and the story just sucked.

Halo is boring. I've tried it on several occassions, and each time I've had to stop before the game even properly tstarts. I think I've stopped twice in the second level, and once in the fourth level. It just didn't get fun at any point. There wasn't a single moment I thought the game felt good, and the problem was made worse by too large levels. I had a couple of moments where I thought the AI was competent, but it didn't help make the game feel any better in the grand scale. I honestly have no idea why anyone thinks the game is even decent, unless it gets much, much better very soon after the point at which I stopped playing the game. I guess it just isn't for me.

EDIT: Bethesda's games are also very, very overrated. It's very easy to waste dozens or even hundreds of hours in them, but they're so broken, and I don't mean (just) bugs. They're awfully designed as role-playing games, and they reek of wasted potential. If they were smaller, Bethesda would be just another random developer most gamers couldn't even recognize. It highlights Bethesda's strength though, and that is crafting huge, open worlds.

You can't first say that of all Sony's games, you only like Naughty Dog's games, then say you think Sony's push towards cinematic games is a cancer to gaming, because the only Sony first party that makes anything that can be called "cinematic games" is Naughty Dog. You're contradicting yourself.

I have two unpopular opinions about 2 of the biggest franchises:

1. GTA Online is pure garbage, it solely exists to get people to pay for Shark Cards with their real money. 99% of post-launch content doesn't add anything new which is fun, it's all re-skinned content which one can only afford by grinding like hell, glitching/cheating/hacking or paying with real cash, and even then it can be ridiculously expensive (the Yacht costs $99.99/€74,49 using real cash). GTA Online is over 2 years old and servers are still a shit show, disconnections and awful matchmaking (empty lobbies are a common thing) still affect a large part of the community and Rockstar hasn't event tried to fix it, instead they've been doing nothing but adding more re-skinned content.
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has one of the worst, if not the worst Online Multiplayer of all time. The maps are fine, hit detection is fine, graphics are fine for a 2009 game, but the game was unbalanced to the point where it was impossible to play for a minute without getting fucked by some cheap, dumb shit. Commando, One Man Army, Quickscoping, Danger Close Noobtubing, Harrier-Chopper-Nuke, Marathon-Lightweight, Stopping Power, Last Stand, shit spawns, laserbeam weapons, Shotguns as Secondaries, Machine Pistol Secondaries with the power of Primaries, the introduction of dumb shit like the Claymore and Tactical Insertion and last but not least, no decent post-launch support. There's so much unbalanced, broken shit in this game that I sometimes wonder if Infinity Ward did it on purpose. It's truely insane how all of the shit I mentioned above made it past any stage of playtesting.

Most unpopular pokemon opinion of all time:

Pokemon Black and White were incredible. In fact, Black 2/White 2 only made the game much more amazing. It had great characters, good pokemon, and made pokemon games have replay value

Open World games are overrated like GTA, Assassins Creed, Red Dead Redemption etc...

I blame Watch Dog for everything.

Single player games (99,99% content here and, unfortunately, elsewhere) are heavily overrated.

Call of Duty is hella fun and its sales are fully deserved

EA isn't as bad as most people want it to be

Fallout 4 is BORING

Most of Sony's first party studios produce mediocre games

Nintendo products are overpriced in general, especially their portable games wtf
