GTA is horribly overrated

Final Fantasy 7 and onward were ruined by FMV/cutscenes

FPS games involving midget lepers are fun



Raiden is MGS2 is awesome.

God of War is boring.

Halo 3 rocks!!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl isn't really......fun.

"American Dad" is a pretty good show (not exactly video game related......)



1) Longwinding epic storylines have no place in Video Games, that's what books and movies are for.

2) The market is saturated with big budget FPS's and the majority of them are overrated.

3) Online is fun, but local multiplayer (co-op or competitive) is king.

4) Graphics don't matter unless it's nauseating to watch. Grass doesn't need detail it just needs to be green.

5) Controls matter, if I can't play it, I WON'T.

1) The N64 is a terrible system but is fondly remembered because it has amazing games.

2) Mario Kart 64 is by far the worst Mario Kart. The driving in this game is crap even if battle mode is fun.

Despite the fact that i remember the game quite fondly, i would agree with you but for Super Mario Kart. Super Mario Kart is just cruel, even if 64 had its own problems

What do you mean?  Difficulty-wise Super Mario Kart is probably the easiest or 2nd easiest in the franchise.

You must understand that i started gaming in 1999. Mario Kart 64 and especially Super Mario 64 are the reasons why i'm here today, so i always had less love for the SNES franchises.

 

Also the whole coins thing, that you needed coins, that you would lose coins if you got hit. I never adapted to that rule (having been introduced to the series by Kart 64), or liked it. Also the fact that Super Mario Kart's Rainbow Road is pretty much unplayable

Don't ask me why i like Super Circuit better, i just do.

OK, why not, they'll be quite controversial, but that's what the thread is for, right?

1) Dragon Quest VIII is the worst RPG ever made, and Yuuji Horii sucks at making games
2) All FPSes except Quake 1 and 2 suck and are very boring
3) Nintendo is overrated, they make decent games but they can't put a good story in any of them
4) Final Fantasy IX is the worst main series FF I've played, and it had the worst story and characters
5) Metal Gear Solid 3 is not a great game, and MGS2's story is excellent
6) Okami looks nice, but it's boring after 3 hours
7) Final Fantasy VIII has one of the best battle systems ever in an RPG
8) WRPGs mostly suck, and their stories are horrible (except for KOTOR)
9) Blizzard is overrated, the best thing they made is putting the joke comments on the units in Warcraft 3 when you click multiple times in them
10) Mario is a horrible character, same for Sonic
11) Advance Wars is the best Nintendo franchise
12) Star Ocean 3 is fantastic and the twist is one of the best I've ever seen
13) Chrono Cross is better than Chrono Trigger
14) Suikoden II is the best game ever made

I think I was pretty blunt, I doubt anyone will like what I said, hehe

I felt the opposite on this point. Okami was boring for the first three hours or so, it took so long for them to just set you loose and let you go experience that huge, beautiful world they made.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

@Mr Khan

The coin system was great, but I wasn't sad to see it go... the items were what made the game.

Rainbow road was far from being unplayable. It was challenging and frustrating the first few times, that's about it.

LOL! Rainbow Road was hell! Could never finish anything but last.



Quem disse que a boca é tua?

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

Metal Gear Solid is overrated,
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a prime example of how better graphics don't make a better game, as it is the most boring game ever, and probably the easiest,
I like Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), not being a fanboy either,
There are a lot of "crappy" games that I think are actually pretty good (Baroque, Escape From Bug Island, Godzilla Unleashed, Obscure: The Aftermath),
I think Sonic Unleashed is a good game.

1. Games should not have a storyline, stories are for books and films, interactive media should not imitate these.

2. Video games can't be both art and business, but they are closer to the second one, therefore profitability, and popularity are more important values for them than critics' ratings and enthusiasts' opinions.

3. Spore is an awesome game.

4. Sony's 10 year plan failed miserably, they must release PS4 before the end of 2010(next year), and withdraw PS3 soon after that.




1) the wii has no good games except "mario" good games and non-games (blue ocean, wii fit)
2) Sony priced the ps3 as High as they did to force Blu-Ray down our throats.
3) JRPG's are too damn cliche now. Actually, almost all of they are.
4) The elder scrolls 4: Oblivion is highly overrated, and sucks.
5) Nintendo Doesn't care about quality games on their systems
6) Nintendo has sold out
7) Advance wars is the best series Nintendo has ever conceived.
8) Sony has abandoned the PSP
9) The psp library is just as good as the DS library, even if the DS has a mountain more games.
10) Microsoft doesn't have enough 1st party support, and soon enough they won't have any at all worth making games if they keep it up, due to them shutting down all of their studios (Ensemble, ACES, etc.)
