Who do you believe is the most over rated developer?

I get what your saying WoW, and it's not that I need a reason to play a game at all :P I ENJOY the way video games can toss stories out there, you can go see a movie, and dump "x" amount of money to see it , but you don't quite understand the characters, you only see them. In a video game you get to live the experiences and I think that's pretty damn cool. So where I'm coming from, is that I ENJOY the game play, but I also enjoy the stories, I just have little reason to play a game that only meets one of my needs when I can find plenty out there that do both :P

I'd have been much happier with Mario as a series if they just went back to the original scope of it, wander level to level and not ever even need a reason to do so. Story in Mario games literally makes me feel stupid. Sometimes I don't even want to return said item because I just hate that character that much xD (I do because I can be quite the completionist, but I think the point gets across)

I guess I just really miss the days of Super Mario World :P No bullshit story, just Mario, 1up's, and Stages with time limits :P

But like I mentioned it's not a "need" to have them from video games, it's just I've seen the light at the other end so to say, and I have little reason to look back :x
I am quite the fan of Movies and what not, but I just believe there is a world where video games can take you that movies just can't :P And I kinda like it ^^ I've always been a big story driven gamer, and for my tastes Nintendo just doesn't do it for me :P In my opinion I've played better. But that doesn't stop Ocarina of Time from being the highest rated game ever, which I feel is severely over-rated :P

I do agree with Sky's of Arcadia, it was pretty cool ^^ I wouldn't say best of the generation :D But good for sure :P And your points on Capcom were dead on xD Battle Network was terrible ><

I kind of agree with you.  Except for maybe SM-RPG, the stories in Mario games are mediocre at best.  But then again, for example no one buys Soul Calibur or DoA for the stories either.  They buy them for the gameplay.  ^_^

Maybe best is going a bit far, but it easily crushes everything else on the gamecube (Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia...etc).
