Yantelope Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Rules again: * Each forum member gets to propose one change. * A change may consist of either (1) replacing one of the games on the list with a game not on the list or (2) swapping the position of two games on the list * If the list remains unchanged for a sufficient period of time, I will give everyone a new move. MOVES ARE NOT CUMULATIVE. You can only have one move at a time, you cannot save up multiple moves. If this thread remains stagnant and a period of time has passed, a new move might be granted back to those who have used a move. * I reserve the right to add new rules if something happens, but I'll probably be too lazy to do anything. 10.

It won just about every category it was nominated in, and even some it shouldn't have been nominated in. Best 360 game: RDR Best PS3 game: RDR wut?

Chronixal Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Oh please, calling FFVII overrated is as tired and predictable as they come. And honestly, the concept of something being 'overrated' is ridiculous. It comes down to "Wah, something is popular that I don't like but don't have a legitimate argument against". It's silly.

That's what this thread usually boils down into. I intiailly interpreted it to mean critically overrated. GTA:SA was a great example of a game with stellar reviews even though it was just a rehash of a rehash of a game. Really though, in this thread it's up to you to decide why something is overrated. It would be nice to give some reasoning to back it up. I think Uncharted 2 is critically overrated because it's just an average shooter with some overly long climbing sections and I thought both Batman AA and Assassin's Creed 2 were more deserving of GOTY last year.

brida Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Something being a cash in makes it overrated? Are we judging the moral integrity of the games or the quality...? Also thanks for taking out Fallout 2, what the fuck is that game doing on a list like this anyway. Couldn't possibly be more overrated than, say, 3.

Yantelope Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Fallout 3 and Oblivion are games that I personally don't get or enjoy all that much but I can at least see why other people like them so much and there aren't many games on the market like them.

brida Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 No for sure I'm just saying if we're going to pick a game from the Fallout franchise to label as overrated I don't see how you'd pick 2 over 3 or NV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything with a number is a cash-in. This was _just_ a cash-in, without any quality IMO. Seriously, I was never a SF fan, but I liked SSF4 when I tried it, unlike SF4. And agreed about Fallout 2.

Point taken. Especially NV. It's a game running on the 5 year old Oblivion engine and it still released buggy as hell? That's pretty sad.

HotChops Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 W...T...F...!? You guys put San Andreas at #1? Hell, you put it on a list of overrated games to begin with!!!!? San Andreas is not a rehash of a rehash. It's a major refinement of the Playstation-era GTA series that is a brilliant combination of the best things from GTAIII and Vice City. To many -- myself included -- it surpasses GTA IV in gameplay and scope. Sure, the game isn't perfect. CJ is a lame character and the pop-in graphics are terribly annoying at times, but the game is not overrated! If you're going to put a GTA game on that list, you should put Vice City on there. Now that was an overrated GTA game. I can't tell you how many times I've heard some dinglefart rave about how great Vice City is -- only to add that they never played GTA III. I vote to swap GTA: San Andreas with Call of Duty: Black Ops. Honorable mention goes to every Madden NFL game of the last six years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) You can use your move to do that if you want just copy the list, change the game you want to change and then highlight your choice using the color options. Edit: It would look like this then: 10. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 9. Halo 3 8. Super Mario Galaxy 7. Gears of War 6. Street Fighter 4 5. StarCraft II 4. Uncharted 2 3. Red Dead Redemption 2.

The original list didn't have CoD: Black Ops at number one -- that was my vote. You've got Call of Duty at number one and you added God of War to number 2. BTW, I agree with the GoW nomination. I'd add it too, but I was compelled to get GTA: San Andreas off that list. When did you guys make this list originally? I assume it happened on the old board.
