Overrated Games

For me overrated means realizing, in retrospect, that the game either wasn't nearly as good as thought, or it's impact was much less than it seemed.

So GTA IV for me is a good example because after the frenzy of hype and critical praise it dawned that, actually, the game has had minimal impact in general and that the game itself was only decent, with little really groundbreaking or amazing about it. In short, GTA IV was judged based on the impact of the games that came before it but had far less impact nor was actually as good as them.

Few games are truly overrated, mostly people just say something the don't like is overrated. But GTA IV I think genuinely is. However I think this is generally accepted anyway.

your one of the few that makes sense, as usual

agreed... but then again GTA created the genre.... so like I said in my post most of those serialized games are living on the legacy of the original.... and people still think they are the best in the lot.... it's like movies.... first one is usually the best... at number 5 they suck but people still go see it because they are use to it and there isn't really any solid competition yet.... cause like I asked if those ones are overated which one are the AAA gaames in the genre??? cause they might be overated but they usually still pound the competition (a lot because they have more production money in the first place anyway) it's like star wars yeah the 3 last (first) ones weren't as orgasmic but what better space opera you have seen really ?? same with indiana jones beside the boobs I still rather watch an indi than a lara croft movie :D
