| Burgles said: It never crossed my mind until...About half an hour ago when I read one of those "Top 100 over-rated games" things... Anyway, I noticed RARE had quite a few games on the list (virtually every game they've made to be honest)...I did some more searching and found another list with most their games on again... Hmmm.... These were the games... Donkey Kong Country 123 (23 basically a rehash of 1) Banjo KazooieDonkey Kong 64 (Mario 64 collectathon clones) Perfect DarkGolden Eye (They're the same game basically...Appaling blurry graphics, the pioneer in console deathmatch tomfoolery...but does that make them good?...I got hooked on smoking but that isn't quality) Killer Instinct (This really was rubbish, characters were all bland, ridiculous combo system...just a bland fighter with no soul really. Do you remember "Primal Rage"?) Kameo (Pretty dull if you ask me, nice graphics though...Definately shows strong signs of being one of those launch titles everyone thinks is great on release...Then years later they realise it was actually mediocre and generic)
This isn't my opinion, well a couple of lines are. I've elaborated the point a little, can't find the source now...But really, I'm just curious what you guys think. I'm inclined to agree that a lot of them really are over hyped over rate titles that on release got much more credit than they deserved... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are "rubbish". I really enjoyed DKC 1 on the SNES years ago...But maybe I enjoyed it because everyone else did? I was only 12-13 I think at the time maybe a little younger so... Opionions? |
I liked Donky Kong Country 1 & 2 not so much 3
I never really liked Banjo Kazooie and never played too far into DK64 so can't say anything
Perfect dark and Golden eye I was and still am not into FPS but even I played Goldeneye 007 with friends here and there.
Killer Instinct no soul? NO U! Killer Instinct was pure awesome. If you could freebase the pure awesome that made that game up crack cocaine and heroin would no longer be sold because we'd all be shooting up, snorting or smoking Liquid or Powdered Killer Instinct.
Kamaeo I never played it...
