he did Lords Of Shadow (the good one) and Boktai / Lunar Knights (also a good game) and you just said that you didn't play the games as well.... |
Yeah, you are right, I'm not a good judge of his overall work.
What I was thinking about is his big talk about japanese AAA, western AAA games, like "I wanted to show people that Japanese high-end games are still worth playing and that big Japanese games still have a future." and it's always about the very same serie he defined 15 years ago and where he can take lots of resources just based on his and his license name. That's one of the few problems AAA japanese game has : a shrinking range of licences coming from the PS1 area. Let's say I think he's overrated when it comes to talk about japanese gaming future, solution and AAA.

That is stretching it quite a lot.
I feel some are overrated, but he loses all credibility when he says he never played them.
It's nice seeing him attack his main fanbase though instead of the one trick Nintendo hate.

DanneSandin said: Yeah, if you haven't tried the game you shouldn't talk about it either really. Now, I've played Uncharted 1 & 2, and I don't get all the hype to those games, but I wouldn't say that The Last of Us is overrated just because of that. But I do get what he's saying about Kojima. All that man does is Metal Gear, so I don't understand the hype surrounding him. Granted, I haven't played any Metal Gear games (mostly because I can't stand that long cutscenes!!), so I wouldn't say he's overrated, only that I don't get the hype. |
I agree I played Uncharted and was extremely disappointed. Not because I expected to much (I always play games expecting the worst so I wont get disappointed) but because I wasted way to much money on a meh game. (TombRaider 2012 was far better IMHO because it shows young Lara struggling and getting stronger etc. and not a goofy average joe sunny boy whos completely unsympathic) ... I also never liked Jak n Daxter either because of their characters and character design (imho Ratchet n Clank is waaaaaaaay better).
I really would like to play TheLastOfUs tho but because NaughtyDog is so overrated I wont be able to try the game before it drops to 20 bucks. (not going to waste more money on ND games. TLoU might change that but unless I play it I will stay sceptical)
Also dont get the Kojima hype. Actually I dont get any kind of hype because the hype starts before the game comes out and noone knows how it will end up like... Do people have glass balls?
@ Poll yes everyone can determine if a game is overrated by just looking at how people hype it up. If people praise it as the best thing ever without giving examples on why it is better than something else then it is just overrated.
Stuff like COD is also totally overrated and noone can deny that.
Playing the game will just help you get a better understanding and give you details and information on HOW much overrated it is.
I did not watch the video but did read most of the OP. You want me to respond to someone that portrays his 'biased' opinion about something on the internet?
I'd rather respond to an opinion of you than some random guy obviously ranting in a very subjective manner.
Let's say that the whole 'gaming' community is getting more and more pathetic. Instead of respecting what is out there people are only trying to win a pissing contest without having to pull their dicks out. Which results in wet and smelly pants.

The average gamer easily says things like this.
Most of those making comments online have absolutely no idea how much blood, sweat and tears go into making a single videogame. How many hours a day do you think he spent making Metal Gear Solid 4, and over how many years?
How many people quit the industry after Super Mario 64 because of burnout? It's tough work.
And you say:
"He's mostly doing the same licence once every 4 years for about 20 years. "
This is what he's actually done:
1980s: Penguin Adventure (MSX), Metal Gear (MSX2, NES), Snatcher (MSX2, Sega CD, PC)
1990s: SD Snatcher, Metal Gear 2 (MSX2), Policenauts (PC, 3DO), Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series, Metal Gear Solid (PS)
2000s: Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2), Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2), Zone of the Enders (PS2 and Anime), Boktai: The Sun in Your Hand (GBA), Boktai 2 (GBA), Metal Gear Acid (PSP), Metal Gear Acid 2 (PSP), Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3), Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (PS3, 360, PC), Metal Gear Rising (PS3, 360), Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)
Other stuff:
Yeah man, according to industry standards this man sure isn't spreading his wings /sarcasm
The fact is that he is allowed to "talk big" just as much as anyone else on the planet. Yet people with less than 1% of his credentials get upset when he says something bold. The man has worked very hard and knows what he's talking about.
Djoeru said: Oh yeah completely in agree Naughty dog are so overrated, look at their games, they did not even once get a 100 on metacritic and an user score of 10. Ridiculous ; |
Almost as overrated as Santa Monica, Polyphony, Media Molecule, Ready at Dawn and the rest of those useless studios.

I haven't played The Last of Us (don't crucify me) so I can't judge whether it's good or not. All I know is that it's not my cup of tea. A fan of zombie shooters will probably love it, other people may not. I won't even try arguing one way or another for the game cause I have no right to judge it without playing it.
