He can tell whatever he want the same as your or me, I just really hate him presenting himself as different or even an example for Japan. He made 11 MGS, a serie that started a long time ago that's his only known AAA, for a company dying on the console market and that switched to the mobile market. And noone can have the fantastic budget he have for MGS in Japan, except for a selected few licences, so he's not even an example.

But I would be interested about is opinion about what is wrong in Japan dev, but the only thing he says is how great and big is his only AAA.

I would be _really_ interested, because the only thing I ever read from him is the bullshit PR about creativity and common knowledge about the switch to smartphone game. But what I see at my office (smartphone dev in Japan and contact with a lot of people coming from console game companies) is an extreme inefficiency in dev, inhability to speak in english that prevent any use of international proven tools and website, an over extreme attention to details that inflates the budget to no end and stretch dev time and cost for a very limited result when our tooling is so primitive, insignificant specifications, in-house full custom and extremely expensive dev for about every game (the way he does in fact with a in-house custom engine different in MGS 4 and 5 in the same console), etc. and people that have no idea what they talk about and produce nothing but enjoy the fame of a god of dev.

I think this is the dude that keeps arguing with John Lucas on youtube; it's hilarious!

There can be games you might not have played that are overrated in your opinion and that statement would hold true.  If you've only played one God of War or one Call of Duty, your opinion would be partially correct because the other games in the series are mostly the exact same.  Same gameplay, games play through the same way, etc. If you've played Demon's Souls and disliked the game.  While Dark Souls is a connected world, that's the main difference, so you could call that game overrated because it very similar, almost exactlty like its predecessor.

So there are games you don't necessarily have to play before you can accurately come up with the opinion that they're overrated to you.

If it's a new IP, a game you've never played, etc, then no, you really can't say it's overrated without playing it enough to know if that's what you think, but not 10 hours.  You don't need to put 10 hours into a game to know whether the game is for you.  Some games you might.  Some games like Dragon Warrior 7, Star Ocean the Second Story, etc, actually take two hours before you get into the gameplay, and you need to put in atleast a little time into the gameplay itself.  Most games however, you could put in four hours or less and have a good idea on what the rest of the game is going to play like.

I think that the games should be played atleast long enough for the player to gain access to every gameplay feature available.  Tales of Graces F you have to play the game for a period of time before you even get access to the B Artes.  You're missing out on half of the gameplay with the limited amount of A Artes and lack of B Artes if you don't play to where your characters become an adult. 

So the time thing is really on a game by game basis, but four hours is more than enough for you to gather a good opinion on most games.

As far as ALL of the Sony 1st parties being overrated that's a no but there are quite a few that are such as naughty dog but they pretty much have being deserving of the hype lately thus far because of the last of us sales show us that they ain't exactly all bark and no bite.

WRONG you either never played the game or didnt understand it  try again and this time dont focus on her boobs.

If he said he doesnt like any of them, then its fine but saying they are all over-rated is silly.

I dont like a lot of MS and nintendo games but I wouldnt say they are ALL over-rated, because in a lot of situations, the critics agree with me and have not rated them too highly...and they have done the same with sony games too.

First, Umm no, you're just exaggerating and being overly sensitive that's what that is

..the fuck do you mean you "struggle to understand why i do this"? What is it exactly that i'm doing?

And i made it maybe because I WANTED PEOPLE TO COMMENT! *shocked face* I don't give a damn about any stupid ass points. 

And how is this a bait thread? Who exactly am i baiting? You actually felt some type of way about this thread? SMFH 

I think you might need to stop living on the internet, Nem

Second, it's about people claiming that a game is overrated before playing it. That random guy was just the inspiration behind making this thread

Third, that's just your opinion, bro

The definitive version of  Youtube gaming wars. That sums up the whole thing.

her boobs aint all that impressive! and i platniumed that game it seems it u who didnt play that game for some one who has never killed somebody she did very good killing the 200 plus guys

Lol maybe you didn't "understand it" then as he put it, ya know cos it was so deep! I really like those deep thoughtful moments in games where you're going down a steam fast and your head gets impaled on a metal spike, really gets you thinking.

As for OP and youtuber - Ilol'd
