Fudge said it best....
All the latest COD games are overrated imo. I have fun with em but they are not as amazing or groundbreaking as people make them out to be, very overrated imo.
thislol, did you even play with other people? coop is the whole appeal to l4d, something that a demo can't demonstrate.left for dead
i played demo for 5 min and never looked at it again

I don't think anyone ever said that CoD 4 was groundbreaking...just fun which all of you admitted. 5 wasn't good at all and MW 2 is pretty decent but far from overrated, it scored 86/100, that's about right.
Overrated games:
HL 2, good game but let's be serious 96...
Bioshock, again 96, this is not a 96 game, more like 85 or so.
Oblivion, 94, without mods I wouldn't rate it higher than 55, with mods, no more than 75.
Actually alot of people say it's revolutionary, ground breaking, genre defining, etc. Mainly console players though.I don't think anyone ever said that CoD 4 was groundbreaking...

I disagree with every one of your points. Those are my top favourite games, and they deserve above 90 (except Oblivion without mods) because of their innovation and creativity. HL2 allowed you to have a real connection and care for the characters, Bioshock had a really good setting, and Oblivion has so many mods the possibilities are endless. Though you're kind of right about Oblivion without mods, it sucked
Braid. 95%? I don't think so

That cool, rather pretentious game, had it's moments. But I don't think a short side scrolling puzzle game should merit such a high score. Same with Plants vs. Zombies. It's a fun time killer but is way over hyped. People have really **** standards for these simple kinds of games and overhype the few that don't suck.
GTA4 is over rated. Same old fedex missions as the last 5 games. Looks pretty though.
On second thought, the multiplayer in GTA4 is pretty awesome. Although my PC wasnt really upto snuff to run the game beautifully (read: bad port).
Also they make you jump through hoops to play the game. GFWL and Rockstar club? gimme a break.
Far Cry and Bioshock. Especially Bioshock.
Far Cy had a pretty lame story, terrible voice acting/characters, and a frustrating checkpoint system which made the game a lot harder than it should have been. The Enemy A.I was pretty good though, and the combat was decent, but it failed to rise above the level of generic for me (except for the graphics, which were excellent).
Bioshock just had really crappy shooting mechanics and repetitive level design, although the story was good and Rapture as a whole was pretty sweet. Had the devs worked on the Core game mechanics more, it would deserve the praise it gets, but while its an impressive experience, it fails as a video game (for me at least).
Dragon Age: Origins.. (no, seriously)
I only played it for about 1 hour and exchanged it with left 4 dead 2.

*Gasp* I have a new Nemesis! Three of those games are on my top ten list!
Just out of interest, what RTS's do you consider to be good? CoH and WiC are two of the best to have come out in the last 5 or so years!

If you look at his ratings it's another obvious case of " I expected it to be a great "RTS" " and because it's not, the game is garbage and extremely overrated. He loves DoW, an RTS, and doesn't like DoW II which is an RTS/RPG hybrid, dislikes CoH since it's more RTT, dislikes WiC because it's pure RTT.Starcraft and CSS
Edit: All Blizzard games

Sure? I had the feeling that until World Of Warcraft the press was underrating the Blizzard games, since the scores from Starcraft, Warcraft II, Diablo II and Warcraft II were lower than 90 in a lot of magazines and sites. But, ironically, Starcraft, Diablo II and Warcraft III are still in the top 25 of most played online games, even 10 years after the shipment.
What?! WiC HL2 & Bioshock?! NO! :D
they are all great!
my choice is Halo. it's amazing how a simple shooter makes everyone crazy. they should've played Doom back in the days.
e: yeah and Assassins Creed.

No, you're just angry about the whole dedicated server thing and you can't let it go.
This is very obvious.
Yeah sure, no one can ever have an opinion, they're just angry PC elitists. Riiiight.[QUOTE="fudgeblood"]Call of Duty 4, 5 or 6.uyiop0t

I agree with CoD 4/6 being overrated. Also, I agreed with 4 being overrated long before it was announced that 6 will have dedicated servers. So ?Please Log In to post.
