This gen? Where to begin.....
Mass Effect 2 tried to become a shooter while ME1 was a neat hybrid. The end-result is a game with barely present RPG elements (which are completely unnecessary to playing the game BTW), very dull, unpolished combat (glitched on me multiple times), CoD level design, scripted enemies, no exploration, no plot, cookie-cutter characters and a laughable suicide mission. I mean, in any other game that suicide mission would be the freaking tutorial. For BioWare, it's the best they've got.
No plot? Wow... Mass Effect had a different plot which I enjoyed very much each character had their own interesting story that added a another layer of depth to the overall plot of the suicide mission. There is no COD level design in this at all. There was some ecporaltion but that isnt key for being overrated. Oh and tell me a tutorial where the main character can die. Maybe it was easy for you since you looked up all the decisions to make up online...
Gears of War 2 is way over-rated by critics. It's nowhere near as good as the original and yet it has been just as critically successful. The level design abandons the entrenched and more guerilla feel of the first and goes for a more "push forward" mentality that just doesn't lend itself well to Gears. The campaign was overbloated, childish at best and took itself far too seriously. There are Gears of War fans that say they cried when Dom had to kill Maria. Honestly, I cry when I realize people like that actually live in the same freaking world as me. Shoot them or teach them to get a grip on reality. Multiplayer was a mess as well, but Horde was decent.
MP was disappointing. I did enjoy the campaign though.
BioShock earned praise because of its setting and story. However it was never criticized for its stupid corridor shooter gameplay, incessant fetch-quests, poor enemy AI, floaty gunplay and piss-poor finale that destroyed all of the atmosphere the game had going for it.
Way underrated game imo. Corrider shooter gameplay isnt stupid just because its not your **** However, some missions were annoying.
