Valve, seriously I love Valve games. I can't think of a single Valve game that I would consider anything less than excellent (well except for maybe Ricochet). But other than CS: GO, and DOTA 2 they really haven't done much in the last few years and it pains me so much.

Oh yeah, forgot about Valve. They haven't really made a game that I've enjoyed since Left 4 Dead. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Agreed. They were the greatest back then and 30 years later their ranking hasn't changed at all!

To each his own huh. I don't associate positiveness with someone/something not progressing over such a period.


Me neither, which is why I love Nintendo so much.

Thread says overrated, not underrated.

I can see where people get Nintendo from, I mean look at the recent SSB release.  The game comes out with no big story mode, which btw was in the previous entry and other fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice have included that put other fighting games to shame, and yet only has one point lower on metacritic for it compared to the previous entry.  Instead we got some crappy monopoly mode.

You point out the 1 con yet missed a ton of pros. Beside most people didn't care for the SSE. It also wasnt present in the first 2 games. People buy SSB because of the multiplayer which SSBU >>>>>> SSBB in for several reasons (working online/5-8player smash just to name a few).

Srry there's no SSE in the new game, but seriously judging the game based off that is very silly...

I'm not judging the game purely off that...if I was I woulda said it deserves a 0 for not including it.  Its not based on SSE, there should have been a new story mode that is able to compete with other fighting games.  Not having a major single player is a major flaw, worth way more than one point lower on metacritic.  If the next Mortal Kombat released without a story mode it would get ripped apart, but SSB got a free pass.  The fact is SSB has fallen behind other fighting games in that category.

Historically: Rare during the N64 era


Today: Valve's output, I like most of their games, but they're not able to make AAA games anymore that are miles ahead of the competition like HL1&2

Rare thing these days. Good on you though, they are a part of video game history so they should be supported like any culture.

Oh so many games that stayed the exact same all these years.............. Oh my god playing the same thing for 30 years............. 

Now serious question have you played any Nintendo Game(at least in the past 10 years)? These post are terrible, i really dislike it when somebody says [Insert Company] is bad "just because i dont like them" and never play their games. Its depressing and hilarious at the same time :-/

I'm starting to get a lot of laughs with this thread. He should of set it up with a poll. I can see why some people don't like naughty dog. Some people felt that TLOU was too realistic or hit too close to home. Some felt that games should feel like a game not like a simulated movie. So I can understand some of the criticism. I'm not gonna bother trying to defend naughty dog against stuff like that. That's really a matter of preference there and not about being an overrated developer.

Basically. Though I'll say this, it's interesting that there's not a single poster that has compared them to anyone else, a dev better than them at what they do, for example, in a rated, measurable way. Thus, the majority of what will come out of this thread are personal opinion(s) of devs and little else. It's not just towards Naughty Dog, though. When people talk about Nintendo's 30 year presence, I'm not sure how they fall into that status, either. They're "overrated" compared to who? In what regard?


Well, one thing that will make me look badly on a dev is if their games are finished products. Is it a cake with no icing on it or do I have to wait 6 months to finally have icing on it. You can compare all devs to eachother in this aspect. Naughty Dog is kinda difficult to compare to another dev though just on their games being bug free for the most part. I don't think Nintendo is overrated. They are pretty good at what they do and in general live up their fans expectations but I hate the genre of games that they focus on.

 

Bethesda more or less fits what an overrated developer is like. They are not good at what they focus on but are highly praised. They just make big game worlds with lots of shit to do that are buggier than Joe's apartment.
