Titanfall followed by MK8. Reserve my judgement on destiny till launch.


Yea I think there's a trio, Titanfall/MK8/Watch Dogs.


I think MK8 lived up to/exceeded everyone's expectations. Overhyped requires the game to be below everyone's expectations.


It didn't exceed my expectations lol.

Didn't exceed my expectations either. It's a fantastic game and I'll have fun with it for years to come but without some additions to battle mode, additions to the character roster that aren't koopalings/babies, maybe the addition of missions/challenges a la MK DS, the tournaments in MK Wii, or the missions in Smash Bros. (...I like that stuff, more content and diversity), and maybe a new racing mode of some sort it will remain below my expectations.

The question should have been "Second most overhyped game of 2014" cause there's really no contest, TitanFall takes the crown easily.

Yes thank you.  A real career mode might be something too.

Ah, then have no fear, basically everyone other than a minute number of people who played the Alpha have been shocked at how good Destiny is, and that's with a microscopic taste of it compared to the scale of the final game.


It's just an MMOFPS, repetitive quests and boring dialogue/story. Nothing special.

I think that could be pretty cool. I can see potential there and it would heighten the single player experience for a few hours to something beyond just an arcade racer.

I think it could last a lot more than a few hours if done correctly and it could offer a lot of replayabilitiy if done correctly.

Out of every game that has release this year, which game do you think is the most overrated? 

I can't answer, since I haven't played any games that have released this year...

Edit: Keep the "Probably Titanfall" going!


Watch dogs or Titanfall



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

I don't have any next gen systems but one of my homies has TitanFall for the X1. I thought the mechs would make the game unbalanced but I was wrong as soon as a I ran a few sessions. This said however it feels similar to many FPS games I've played except without the story mode.

The Gaf thread (a hard bunch to please to be sure) is chock full of people that LOVE it, with many of them going from 3/10, 4/10 before the alpha, to 8/10, 9/10, 10/10 after the Alpha, and they think it's VERY special. The preorder numbers are through the roof.

So should I believe you, or believe the sales and people that have played and loved it?

Ah yes, 117 pages and over 5,000 replies now in the Destiny withdrawal thread alone :

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=839018

The vast majority of which like or love the game. In an ALPHA state.

The thread is considerably larger than the one for Halo MCC.
