If quality is subjective, overrated is also a subjective term. And in my opinion, an overused one.


This, especially the last part

Little Big Planet is overrated it starts with a great idea, but sackboy's movements sucks ass and the level editor it's not so intuitive, it takes hours to create a decent level. I've seen better editors made by amateurs like lunar magic for Super Mario World.

LBP is on this list? News to me...

Me too!

 

Oh wait, its not.  Because its exclusive , and it would appear that there are a few people on this site who fake the ability to read or lack the ability to comprehend what it is the words they are reading are telling them?!!?

 

and to Johann:

Why even post in this thread then? nm dont answer that



gta, and exclusives: 3 marios, n64 zeldas

It's hard to pick between GTA4 and Resi 5 - which is more overrated, a 9.0 game that got 98% Meta or a 6.5 game that got 85% Meta?


Hey! That's my personal 2009 GOTY you're trashing there me boy! Them's fightin' words! *puts up his dukes*

Edit: RE5, that is.

Really? And here I thought you were a reasonable man lol. It's so flawed. Biggest disappointment of 2009 IMO. I could stretch to giving it a 7 though.

I would say it was overhyped moreso than its overrated.  Peopel expected the next RE4, and we got a weak action game.  It scored in the low 8s, about what it deserves.

OT:

I'd have to go with GTAIV.  They took out a lot of what made GTA fun for me, and I couldn't get into the game at all.  I also think MW2 is overrated, based on what I've heard about how it compare to the first, but I haven't played it enough (only 2-3 hours) to really comment.

Well, they say there's  no accounting for taste, or lack thereof as may apply in this case.

Well obviously RE5 for me which was a tragedy for me as a huge Resident Evil fan, but I think most of the RE fans kinda agree so only critically overrated I supposed. GTA IV probably in comparison to the series, but still a good game. But compared to the reviews, most definitely. That's just one of the cases where the game is still really good, but not the perfection they hold it up to. Same with Modern Warfare 2, although I think the game deserved more along the 8s rather than 9s.

I'll try to keep this civil by only using multiplat games

Even though you said this, I'm still going to vote Metal Gear Solid 4. That game was average at best, I wish I hadn't bought it. Its only fun for fans of the series; there's no way a casual gamer who hasn't played much MGS could pick it up and play it and enjoy it.



Oh and I'd also like to say while there is a lot Infinity Ward could do to fix Modern Warfare 2 to make it more fun (fix the spawn system, shorten the range of commando, etc)...you can't fault them for the excessive camping people do. Its a great game and therefore not overrated, but the people who play it are dickheads.
