I was curious to hear from people about games within their favorite genre that are supposedly some of the cream of the crop that you actually thought were only good or OK. Here's my example.
My favorite genre is FPS. I never understood all the fuss about Bioshock (just beat it last night). Didn't blow me away like a lot of people/reviews said it would. Above average? Definitely. Unique? For sure. One of my favorite FPS? Nah. I have no desire to play it again. I'll watch the other endings on Youtube.
Another game/series I never understood all of the fuss about is the Halo series. Good/fun? Yes. Great? Not IMO.
If you want, you could flip this thread the other way in your post. Take a game from your favorite genre that's considered subpar or a stinker, but you really liked.
Keep this in mind when reading what I type...
I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
