I came to realize (with 11k posts and a couple of years of hard thinking) that there's no such thing as an overrated game.

Games are rated the way they are for a reason and I simply don't value my opinion enough to think that it's above the majority's.

I bow to you.


OH COME ON.

GTA IV is ridiculously overrated.

Just caus someone jumps into the 'holier than thou' camp doesn't mean they are right.

But he is right. I do have an opinion, but like he said, games are rated the way they are for a reason, therefore your opinion and mine (i agree with you) are just a minority and shouldn't be individually valued more than the majority's.

Ocarina of Time is always my first answer, TP slaughters it in every way!
Then I have to call the Metroid Prime series, they are boring and dull.
Then we have the SMG series, the are good, but not SO good.


TP came out EIGHT years after OOT. OOT pioneered the adventure game genre. Your first comment makes no sense.

 

Metroid Prime was perhaps too cerebral for you. Sorry, it stands as the greatest Gamecube game ever and perhaps the best of its generation.

 

SMG is... you know what nevermind.

 

You obviously have something against Nintendo's games.

Me something against Nintendo games? You don't know me at all then.

Ocarina, well, I guess I just don't have the nostalgia factor, I got it in the virtual console and it wasn't as good as I expected.

Prime games were boring, I guess I could say I have something against FPS.

SMG was great, I said I liked it a lot, but it didn't have a long lasting impact.

Well NO GAME from 13 years ago will be what you expect it to be. Go play Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2/3, Silent Hill etc etc.

The Prime games were FP ADVENTURE games. They didn't control like FP SHOOTERS, nor was the emphasis on headshots or sniping or anything. I find it crazy that you would be put off by looking out of a characters eyes - even though this is arguably more immersive than 3rd person. And if you say its boring then its cause you probably couldn't solve the puzzles or got confused by the maps. It was the most immersive and atmospheric game I ever experienced. You were either too young, or not interested in a deep experience.

Yes, SMG is great.

Yes, SMG is great.

SNES games aged superbly and look and play as smooth as recent games. I just didn't find it so amazing, as I said, it may be the nostalgia factor I don't have.

I didn't like the First Person view, that is my opinion, not because I couldn't solve a puzzle, I do not like First Person games.

Yes, SMG is great. But (IN MY OPINION) it is not the game or platformer of the generation, that was my point

You are overcomplicating something very simple.

If;

the perceived opinion of the majority << the actual opinion of the majority

=> ITS OVERRATED

Just follow these easy steps:

1) Go read reviews and check the metascore for GTA IV

2) Go and play GTA IV

3) Read impressions and comments about the game from people that didn't just chuck out a review within a week of its release

4) Realize I'm right as it is ridiculously overrated and would've merely been above average (perceived) without the GTA name.

Well if you *blanket statement* don't like FP games then you have no right saying it was boring and overrated.

I hate racing simulators. GT5 sucked for me and I couldn't play Forza3 for more than 10mins before saying I'd never play it again. BUT that doesn't mean I can go around voicing these opinions as though they mean anything at all.

I might as well say Madden sucks even though I know literally nothing about American football.

ESPECIALLY not in the case of Prime as it was a truly original game and a revelation for the FP genre.

Doctor, you have confused me.

Oh sorry - not my intention.

Let's leave it at that then

1.Uncharted 2. The single player mode is just good but not as awesome as Demon's Souls.
2. God of War 3. I literally fell asleep playing this (I am just not into button mashing shit)
3. Oblivion, Same as No. 2

Oh wait. You were 6 years old when Metroid: Prime came out.

I rest my case.
