You forgot The Walking Dead, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us.


LOL at last of us................Easily on the the best games on this generation. Also great Multiplayer. Trying to hard to be edgy.

The Last of Us is good, but there's nothing exceptional about it. When it's averaging 95 on Metacritic, we all know it's going to sweep the GOTY awards, and people are clamoring that it's really the Game Of The Generation, that's as overrated as it gets.

Show me how many GOTY awards Twilight Princess and Brawl won. Show me the throngs of fans calling them Game Of The Generation because they had a lot of feels when Midna left at the end. They have a high Metascore. Higher than they deserve? That depends on who you ask. I wouldn't drop either of them by more than 5 points, whereas I wouldn't argue with someone if they called The Last of Us a 7/10.

Pokémon is a really curious entry on this list, since its main games average in the 80-90 range on Metacritic, and it rarely if ever wins any kind of awards. It also has a lot of depth, and is (as far as I know) the only RPG with a thriving competitive scene rivaling those of popular fighting games.

OMG GAME IS OVERRATED IT SUCKS

Did I say it sucks? I said it's good. It is good. I'm not disagreeing with one person's opinion, I'm disagreeing with the general consensus of the entire industry. There is nothing special about The Last of Us. Nothing about it merits the praise it receives. I don't even care about its Metascore; it's the fact that everyone thinks it's the greatest game of all time that makes me object. It doesn't deserve that kind of praise by a long shot.

People just really like zombies, and Naughty Dog made a zombie game, and now everyone can be hyped through the roof for their zombie feels. And I don't mean to interrupt anyone's zombie feels, by all means continue feeling them, but for people who don't buy into the zombie and/or Uncharted craze, this is just a pretty good game. Nothing extraordinary.

Everyone should love this game. Anyone who doesn't is wrong.



Nintendo and PC gamer

I agree with you about FF7 . FF9 is much better (IMO)

@bold - Lol what. 



Everyone agrees with GTA IV being the most overrated game of all time..
Didn't play Zelda or 5 other games there.. Pokemon 4th Gen is actually an easy fortune for Ninty. No creativity or effort..

I'm allowed to use hyperbole. Obviously my mother doesn't think it's the greatest game of all time because she has never heard of it and doesn't play video games. Obviously I don't think it's the greatest game of all time, as you can see from my thoughts on it.

But it's obviously going to win most of the GOTY awards this year, and when we finally get to the GOTG awards (which should be pretty soon, actually), I bet it'll take a lot of them.
