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

Very true, we give alot of crap to GTA4 but the truth of the matter is, are there a slew of better games in that genre that released this gen. RDR from what i hear is the same game but in old west setting. I love Just Cause 2 and IMHO that game is more fun. But i would never consider it a better game than GTA, the cars control worse, the combat is worse. the story is much , much worse and shorter. I have a love hate relation with GTA myself. I started to like it, but about half way through i was bored, Nico is just ok, the story is meh at best,the vehicles controls go ok(cars) to bad(bikes) to terrible(the helicopter), but once i got BOGT and LAD i loved it, the stories are better the characters are better, weapons better, more variety to do. bikes are better. Dare i say the DLC actually is better than the regular game. Matter of fact i wouldnt mind if GTA5 takes a multiperson approach, play with 3 characters each having a shorter story that intertwines so the narrative doesnt get bogged down
