I think this belief mostly comes from the fact you are a PS3 fan and that they mostly do 360 games and not PS3 games.

I don't really know how you want me to expand on these but i will.

I have played most of the Zelda's, the one on the DS is the one i got farthest in, it started off as some boy and some girl, i can't really remember anymore of a story after that. But in each zelda i have played or seen people play its all the same, you need to go off and save something and go and meet odd looking things and play boring dungeons.

Pay attention , and you would know zelda games are more complex than that.

For Example in Twilight Princess your are not trying to save zelda rather than hyrule, but from a dark force called zant. Along the way you find out that zant is being controlled by ganon , and midna is a princess. You find out about the mutiny in the twilight world. You also acknowlege the history of many races. This is a really weak story right there./sarcasm. It's not the best story , but it's not bad either. If you paid attention you would notice every zelda games story is different.

SMG, has some of the worst controls and camera i have ever seen in a video game. The camera would never go to what i wanted to see and the controls were just bad, and made even worse by the camera that never went to what i wanted to do. This caused me to fall off ledge after ledge as i tried to get mario where i wanted him to go. He never jumped where i wanted him to go and he never killed who i wanted him to kill. The whole game made it almost impossible to jump on anyone so you had to spin the wii-mote like crazy.

See you aren't expanding enough. Tell me how the controls and the camera were bad.

Metroid games are just boring, i never beat any of the ones i played due to boredom, and the colous in the games are just bad, each level looks bad and appears to be painted by a kid. I played a couple of them and put 1-3 hours into them before turning them off.

This is the one that I have the most problem with. Not only , because metroid is my most cherished video game series , but because you just blew off how it was boring, and it doesn't help your statement that it destroys everything else about an fps. Metroid isn't even meant to be an fps, It's was meant , and always will be an adventure game. I for one think it's far superior to any fps. You not only shoot the hell out of everything, but you also have puzzles, and exploration to consider. Oh , and let's not forget that you get to kill these huge ass bosses. It just seems to me that you expect too much from these games. You expect every single thing to be the best, when it probably won't be.

HL1, i played a long time ago and can't remember all the details but i remember being bored with it, i can't really remember much of a story either. HL2 and the episodes, were full of boring parts and puzzles that did nothing for the game, all they did was extend boring parts of the game. The was also no story, you walk from place to place metting people who go "oh my god its gordon freeman" then they ask you do do some boring crap and the you do it all over again with different people. The games also had the worst dring of any game i have ever played, theer was no point to those parts, but to extend the game. If they took out all the crap they never needed, it would of been one of the shortest games ever.

This video shows HL1 and HL2, but the episodes are just like it, so extend the video another 30seconds and you have the entire game.

Are you kidding. Half Life/2 is one of the only fpses with a decent story. Even if it's story is as crappy as you say. You can't say too much for any other fps. I have never seen the game as boring. I guess anything that makes you think too much is boring too you. Just as metroid is boring, and if you ever played a puzzling zelda game which I doubt you would be bored by that too.

Definitely. I'm not saying that Rockstar is the greatest developer ever, but their GTA series is pretty spectacular.

Personally, I've never heard them mentioned in the same breath as Blizzard, Valve, or Nintendo, but if people are indeed doing that, I would have to say that yes, they are overrated by some. They don't deserve that kind of recognition compared to those three developers that consistently put together amazing games across several franchises.
