Do any of you find excellent games only mediocre?

Oblivion. I guess I'm just not into medieval RPGs like I used to be.Andrn

[QUOTE="ZacharyT1"]I definitely got that feeling with Bioshock. Everyone makes it out to be an amazing game, but to me it just wasn't all that great.SSBFan12

Wow , nice to know I wasn't the only one not digging Bioshock ! I thought there was something wrong with me ! LOL

I enjoyed GTAV, but found GOW1&2, COD4, and Halo3 to be real boring. I guess shooters arn't my thing.

I felt the same way too.

fable 2, cod anything..., gow 2, left 4 dead, and bioshock all yes... but orange box? come on now that game is just amazing.. even if they did all suck its still 5 games for price of 1!!! what a freaking deal! haha no but really Orange Box is greatGoo4You

75 % of the content in the orange box was something most people had played before.

GoW2.... I love the gameplay and setting for the gears game, brutal and just totally awesome. But the game is just so GLITCHY! I've gotten stuck on corners I've tried to hope over, or jump from a platform to another... and the online is even worse, the matchmaking is terrible. Once you finally get a team, you only play one match, and restard the whole frikin thing over again... gets tedious certainly sinces the chances of coming across a lagtastic game is a 50/50. Still has off map glitching, along with the shield glitch (Hold an invisible shield while wielding a two handed weapon). Just seemed like someone like Unreal who did a pretty good job in the first one could have totally made GoW2 so much better and finished.....

Oh and the story is absolutely terrible....

This is how gaming is now, heh, I've been let down so much on both the 360 and Ps3 I've seriously switched back to my ps2 and started buying a bunch of old games for 10 bucks a pop.

When I look at previews and read articles for a really "great" game, I become so excited to play it, and when I finally get my hands on it, it feels only mediocre and boring. It feels like "Yeah, I've played this thing before." I'm not just talking about hype; even when I haven't done much research on a game or even heard about it really but see that everyone loves it so much AFTER playing the game, I still think the game only mediocre.

This has happened with:

GoW2, Fable 2, The Orange Box, Halo 3, CoDWaW, Mass Effect, GTAIV, Left4Dead, Bioshock, etc.

The only two games that I own that absolutely blew me away were GoW1 and CoD4... i'm not saying the other games I listed aren't good; they are. Definitely. I just got kinda bored of most of them and had to work to complete them (which I did for everyone). GoW1 blew me away because it was the first 360 game I played and I only had the gamecube from lastgen consoles, so you can only imagine how much better this experience was. CoD4 blew me away because it was so damn intense and realistic. It's the only game I've replayed at least 3 times of the ones listed. Anyways, I'm not trying to flame or call any of these games bad. Maybe I just have overly high standards haha. Anyways, does this happen to any of you guys? Thanks for the input.

GTAIV did this to meJluecke3

No. If I don't like a quality game Im not foolish enough to call it "mediocre". That title is reserved for games that actually are mediocre. I just say I don't like the game instead of trying to look like a douche.vashkey

I'm not calling the games mediocre. I said I just got bored with most and thought I would enjoy them more than what I really did. I still believe the games to be excellent, but just said FOR ME, they felt mediocre aka I didn't like them as much as I thought I would. And don't call me a douche; it's very immature.
