there's bebas again :wub
-
AC should have been higher
-
I cannot believe those nobs rated Assassin's Creed higher than Uncharted. :duh
-
The Play magazine guy had Heavenly Sword as the top title. :lol
What's Desktop Tower Defense? A couple of guys voted for it.

It was just a 1 pt difference.

War 3 tower defense map clone. I think PixelJunk Monsters is a Tower Defense clone as well.

I guess they're graphics whores.
-
Halo 3 is placed way too highly at number 6, its probably closer to 20
and no Etrian Odyssey?
-
yeah, i can't believe uncharted even made the list. however, i'm just glad mario galaxy didn't make the top 3.

You never change, Prole.

Motorstorm was :yuck. I was really looking forward to that game.
-
it's funny that Halo 3 was so bad that we're already seeing such severe backpedalling just a few months later. Normally, it takes 3-5 years to see this sort of critical reassessment. But with Halo 3, it's suddenly it's all "yeah...uh...so I guess that was fun back in August...well, the coop was at least...well we gave it a 9.5 so we have to put it SOMEWHERE on the top 10...geez, what were we thinking."
-
I think the Halo series reached nintendo levels of review score inflation.
-
youre right Rman, and Halo fans reached Ninfag levels of rabid devotion to their brand, I think reviewers rated Halo 3 very highly the same reason why 1st party Ninty shit gets the 9.5s: fear of fanboy backlash, letterbombs etc.
-
I still play Halo 3
I've been doing the metagame achievements the last few days, great fun.
-
bioshock needs to get behind portal and its orange box
ass creed and ass effect need to gtfo -- halo 3 is somewhat overrated, but mass effect is the prize pig of unthinking score inflation
-
I do think Halo 3 critically amongst forumers did suffer as part of the X360's success - X360 fans aren't in the position where they have to champion each game because of the number of titles out there. So if something isn't AAA+++ then the clear and fair appraisals tend to come much quicker.
I've still got people going on about Uncharted to me despite the fact that i've finished it and generally enjoyed it. It's weird - thinking it's good isn't enough, you either think it is "AAA+++ GOTY GOTC!" or you are a stinking fanboy hatorz.
Let me get out my violin for you. Can't stop talking about those damn Sony fans. You must mumble about them in your sleep.
So what explains you buying 10 bazillion 360 games? Surely they're not all AAA++++ games......

well Tigerriot has a point, not all 360 games are 'AAA+++'
but some actually are, is there any PS3 exclusive thats AAA+++? No
-
how do you look at that list and come away with some rant about the overrating of ps3 games? half that list is just games that managed to be on the right console at the right time
mass effect is two-thirds shit! its sidequests don't even meet the abysmally low standards of rpg sidequesting! its allegedly gripping narrative wouldn't do for a star trek episode -- not that i expect much more from videogames, but if we're going to hate on uncharted for its embarrassing (but successfully colloquial) sex chatter, surely we can spare some hate for mass effect's mortifying courtships capped with that physically painful 'by the gods, shepard' line, in comparison to which halo 3 is shakespeare
-
Ilos, the locations of the game, and the universe itself make the game.
-
i liked feros and noveria best, and if bioware can give us more of that and less moon buggy horseshit, mass effect 2 will perhaps deserve the first game's plaudits
-
I fuck-wholeheartedly agree with you about the side missions. What a fucking chore that was. I did every last one I could find, and then I did Noveria, Virmire, and the end of the game all in a row. If the DLC is little more than SIDEMISSIONS, than I ain't gonna buy it.
-
Feros was great too.
EDIT: Cutting out 4 fifths of the Mako shit would make the game alot better.
-
Orange Box, my next 360 game :bow
-
gaf sfags have obviously gotten hysterical about uncharted, but if you need to praise the sober critical judgement of xbots, you might not want to do it in a thread full of counterexamples
(btw i don't think halo 3 really deserves to be thrown under the bus, though it was disappointing in a number of ways)

Can't LOL
-
wtf gaf
-
A few of those "1st party" Microsoft games are developed by 3rd parties and funded by MS. Money hatted does not = 1st party.
So delete all Insomniac and Naughty Dog and Motorstorm I guess?
-
Tell him Halo 3 outsold all the ps3 titles combined.
I will, lets see if I get banned

Point out what I said too, if you want. w/e

alright Ive posted, watch the sfags explode, I ripped off what you said viscen (re: the moneyhats) hope thats ok
we should get a hilarious reaction regardless, its nice having a GAF account you dont give a shit about
-
surprised no ones taken the halo bait yet
-

But pretty much everyone in this thread has agreed with you that Halo 3 and Mass Effect weren't that great. Where are the counterexamples you're speaking of?
-
If that thread was about any other console it would have been locked. I don't think I'll go back to posting when my account is restored.
Someone post a complete list of Wii first party titles in that thread to really turn it into a tornado. DO IT I'll set it up right now.
Naughty Dog and Evolution are owned by Sony
Wasn't sure about ND, but Evolution was bought after MS was developed. Same for HS I think, right? Doesn't really matter, it's all for fun.

Ehhh, only games I've played and/or really care about on this list are Orange Box, Mario Galaxy, and Halo 3... Galaxy being the best of the bunch. I also liked Etrian Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Contra IV, Kororinpa and (so far) Eternal Sonata out of all the big 07 releases.

I'm afraid it will look the same, or even better on the 360, system warrior.

I only enjoy countering the Xbot nonsense. Thanks for posting more of it. :lol
If you truly believe Microsoft's 2008 lineup is good, I'd love to hear why. What I see is so niche, and so narrowed in it's focus, that it's not even up for discussion that Sony's first party lineup is gonna dominate Microsoft's.
Of course, I'm not talking about sales figures and the like, but purely as a gamer.

You're right, I've been taking this real seriously.
Who the fuck didn't know that Sony had more internal studios than MS?
Good thing I don't have to buy only first party games (or only 360 games). The list is totally pointless.
I only enjoy countering the Xbot nonsense.
Isn't that what everyone in this topic is doing with Wollan?

I cannot believe those nobs rated Assassin's Creed higher than Uncharted. :duh
Are you kidding me? It's infinitely better
