Underrated: Radiant Historia

I was surprised by 2011. I was so sure my GOTY would be something like Zelda or Batman. And both of those games delivered, don't get me wrong. However, Radiant Historia topped everything I played from last year.

Honorable mentions: Dead Space 2, Solatorobo, Zelda SS, Batman AA.

THAT GAME IS SO GOD DAM BORING. I don't see the appeal.

Overrated- Dark Souls

Underrated- Driver San Francisco

GOTY- Portal 2

And how the hell can MW3 be overrated? There is zero praise for that game to begin with. :roll:

Skyrim over rated? Good god come off it. It's not like it's some yearly FPS or sports release. I guess that's what you get for being GotY.

Something has to be an FPS to be overrated.

I don't even know what that means. I don't think any of those facts have anything to do with one another.

[QUOTE="chilly-chill"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] Everything ends in being a fetch quest to get a lost sword or family heirloom. Game is trash.themajormayor

The loot system is also really bad, pretty much 90% of the "special" loot you can get are normal stock items with incredibly lame enchantments on them.

I swear its like Bethesda thought "eh, lets just focus on the game world, the modders will do the rest" while making the game.

Overrated: UC3 --92 at metacritic? Wow. 8.5 at best. 8.0 for me.

Underrated:Catherine (8.0) got pretty good score but I'd give catherine 8.5. (metacritic)

GOTY 2011: I've been pretty dissapointed in '11 when it comes to GOTY--it's like we got a lot of "good" games but no "great ones". Nothing truly stands out but a lot of games with good qualities that could be GOTY if they improve on it in the next iteration. I have yet to decide on a GOTY.

Overrated - Portal 2, MW3, BF3, GOW3

Underrated - La Noire

GOTY - Deus Ex HR

Driver San Fransisco was def most under-rated. I mean it's so much goddam fun! I think Skyrim deserves GOTY, despite not having played it that much. It just seems like a really great game
