epic as a developer they didn't make even one good game since jazz jackrabbit.
bethesda because The Elder Scrolls series(without oblivion) and Echelon they didn't make any other good game.

Five or six million Gears owners disagree

OT:

I have lots!

Square Enix: You're not that good. You can't keep people waiting forever for a game. Losers

BioWare: Seems like their games get a pass just because they have a good storyline. Mass Effect takes for-fucking-ever to load textures, but the game still has a metacritic of 91. Have you seen the textures load on that game? Not saying it wasn't awesome, but it's all the time. And KOTOR too. That game had a slipshod frame-rate that was forgiven. And then, every game is this whole Light/Dark; Renegade/Paragon thing, and no one cares that it's the same good/evil thing every game.

Bethesda: I loved Oblivion, but the game is overrated. The storyline is weak, as is the gameplay, the leveling up is crap too. The only reason I completed oblivion was because I had nothing else to play when the game came out.

And Bungie: Yes marathon was awesome, but Halo 2 and 3 were some of the most overrated FPSs in the history of the world, and have done nothing else beside bring some really good matchmaking to the 360.

/end rant.


 yeah and most of them were buying gears because it was first huge game for xbox 360 and it was an online fps and those games are always selling like hotcakes on xbox no matter what.

If you are a typical Japanese gamer...I completely agree with you. For the rest of us however Epic makes great games.


you mean online fps gamers because that's what epic do and every game is just the same with different name and graphic.


UT is the same as Gears? Wow, apparently I've been playing different games.

Other than the visual style, they're nothing alike.


 i mean they are always the same they didn't do any other type of game since forever.

Or, because it's a critically (and commercially) acclaimed game that breathed (sp?) new life into the shooter genre, introducing a system of cover that has changed the way we play games today...

Actually, Gears was a pretty radical departure for Epic and was a damned good game. Besides, you can't criticize a developer for sticking to one genre... That's what all but the biggest developers do. BioWare does RPGs and so does Bethesda. Valve does FPS games. Damned good ones, too. Team ICO makes action adventure games. Polyphony makes racers.

There's nothing wrong with sticking to a specialty.

Nintendo...

Kinda getting tired of the constant "99%!!!!! WOWOWOW MARIO ZELDA!!!!!" Nintendo reviews for games that I've played 10 years on on N64 and 5 years ago on gamecube.

Developers that succeed by the virtue of a single franchise and put out a lot of crappy secondary games like Rockstar are the definition of overrated to me because outside of one single hit IP/franchise they generally don't put out quality anything.


True, id isn't overrated because no one pays attention to them anymore.

I still stand by my statement about Rockstar, though. I have a hard time considering them overrated, especially with how people are raving about GTA IV and the feature set Rockstar included in the game.


Earthworm Jim 3D? Table Tennis? Midnight Club?

I'm sorry but outside of GTA and maybe Max Payne (which is probably far too generous), their offering is not even mediocre, it's just plain bad.



Team Ninja....

Ninja gaiden was BORING & strictly average...dunno why its been so over rated



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

The question you asked is who "is" the more over-rated, not who "was", but if I could go back, I would have to say Origin.

They made a few good games, but they made a lot of crap too.

Ahh you blaspheme. I never met a wing comander game I didnt like. Some of the ultima stuff was good too. That accounts for the majority of their titles. The good outweight the bad IMO. Times of Lore was Kinda sucky though.  You really cant blame them for anything post EA. (I'm looking at you Privateer 2)  



No mention for Guerrilla yet? A developer that has only delivered a single, below-mediocre game, and that with a CGI movie turns into an awesome one? Plus, they're premise for the game (graphics) has already been surpassed by now and people still consider the mentioned game (unreleased BTW) to be some sort of new Messiah in gaming?

And Rockstar :)

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.
