Forums - Gaming Discussion - YOUR 5 most overrated games of last generation

an honorable mention No More Heroes, if that game didnt start out as exclusive i dont think many would care. It was like the FF13 version of a beat em up.

Thought you said you wouldn't ever touch a Ps3 because of Sony fanboys...Now suddenly you've played all the best games it has too offer xD


No I said I wouldnt own a PS3 because of people like you. Sorry you cant accept my opinion and have to make something up in order to have a valid response but really the only thing you can do is #dealwithit. Its not like I need your permission or need you to accept my opinion on games I find over rated. I also named off a big xbox game and I didnt own an 360 for more than 2 weeks. I managed to play those games with friends who own those console.

People like me? gamers? or are you calling me a fanboy? 

Think about it and get back to me.

Here you go: remember when Rockstr got suicide threats and death threats when GTA went Multi platform? I sure do because its the day I sold my PS consoles.

So did you travel to the future and play those games and then return to the past and write that?

Ooops busted! He'll just say he played them on a friends console or something. Or won't bother at all, it's not like he has any more credibility to lose.


I know it's just a good laugh that's all, he must have forgotten that once you write something on the internet it's there forever :)



1. GTA IV
2. Bioshock Infinite
3. Walking Dead
4. Witcher 2
5. Dark Souls

Nothing could possibly live up to the massive hype and my subsequent overestimation of what those last two were going to deliver. Just let myself get too psyched. I appreciate others have different opinions of WD but a cell-shaded, linear, cartoon with zero replay value should not be getting a high review score while games that required ten times the effort and talent to make get high 70s and low 80s. I thought the first Bioshock was a bit overrated but this latest was fawned over to a ridiculous degree. Good game, maybe very good but nothing I'd want to play more than twice. GTA is the poster boy for early gen review-score hysteria. Nothing will ever deserve a perfect 10 imo.

Crysis 1 was another overly hyped game but I could only guestimate from playing 2 so I didn't put either in my 'top' 5.



5. Metal Gear Solid 4
4. Mass Effect 3
3. Skyrim
2. The Last of Us
1. Twilight Princess

Erhm, I'd have to go with:

1) The Last of Us
2) The Last of Us
3) The Last of Us
4) The Last of Us
5) The Last of Us

I played through that game TWICE to make sure I wasn't missing something about it that would make me mentally dethrone Uncharted 2 (yes 2!)... But nope, it was just not that impressive. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and though it was a somewhat overly cinematic experience, the rest of the game just didn't fit right. I was EASILY the strongest man in the room halfway through the game, and since dying had zero consequence, I felt like I was playing (not "playing") just another generic zombie shooting game. The cinematic experience was the ONLY thing I actually felt redeemed it. Outside of the cinematics, it's essentially entirely forgettable...

Edit: Typo, lol

Exclusives in general always get overhyped. Multiplatforms need to work for hardcore gamer hype. 



In all honesty the only game I played last gen that I thought was over rated was the last of us its a good game but it's definatly not the game of the generation people are claiming it is.
