Definitely. I'm not saying that Rockstar is the greatest developer ever, but their GTA series is pretty spectacular. Personally, I've never heard them mentioned in the same breath as Blizzard, Valve, or Nintendo, but if people are indeed doing that, I would have to say that yes, they are overrated by some. They don't deserve that kind of recognition compared to those three developers that consistently put together amazing games across several franchises. |
Eh, I don't think many studios can be mentioned along side those. I'm not as big of a fan of Blizzard as I used to be though. Starcraft and Warcraft are pretty much different flavors of the same game and World of Warcraft is Diablo + Warcraft + MMO. Those franchises are all they really do so to me they've become rather stagnant over the years. |
True. I'm hoping for big things when Starcraft 2 releases. World of Warcraft, while good for an MMO, was still pretty "meh" to me. There are several aspects of other MMOs that I think are much more interesting (for example, SWG's constantly evolving characters and skillsets). A new Diablo game would be awesome, though. I really think Blizzard has slowly become "those guys that do WoW" and little else. Hopefully they shift priorities just a little when SC2 hits. |
Considering WoW is making them all rich, I highly doubt they'll shift priorities any time soon. Starcraft 2 will be very telling. If they're still so highly regarded after the hype has worn off... well who knows. ^_^
