The whole lineup of PS3 exclusives.

[pilonv1]

Uncharted. 2007 graphics with 1997 gameplay.

[calcifer]

call of duty 4 and halo 3

"The whole lineup of PS3 exclusives."

wow bitter xfag at it again

what ps3 exclusive except the only good one (uncharted) is highly rated?

[The Sceneman]

they all got 8's, and they were all hyped to absolute high heaven by sfags

most overhyped and overrated lineup ever

nothing else this gen can top that

Halo hype was quite bad also

[Smooth Groove]

Bitter?  

You care 10x times more than I do.  Try again.

[calcifer]

Bitter?

so that why you mention it ALL THE TIME?

[Smooth Groove]

Seems like you just can't get my posts out of your mind.  It's been a long while since I've partcipated in PS3 hate threads.

Stop caring so much. 

[MrAngryFace]

The Uncharted hype and then the love after release is something I will never understand.

R&C is fucking rehash, but at least it A.) Looks Better B.) Plays better.

[Smooth Groove]

TBH, Call of Duty 4 is overrated as well.  I liked it very much, especially its fantastic engine which is capable of high framerates even at 1920x1200 w/max settings. 

However, COD4 is far from the revolutionary game that many in the press hyped it up to be.  I think they were probably too enamored of the stats building to notice that the gameplay is still basically the same. 

[TVC15]

Gears, without question. 

+1.  Gears would have gotten 7s if the media didn't have a hardon for it.  Maybe less.  At least Uncharted is enjoyable in SP, even if it has some pretty glaring issues.

[trippingmartian]

This generation has been very familiar with a few notable, fresh exceptions: Portal, HL2:E2, Lost Odyssey, and Bioshock.  Almost everything else released for consoles this gen is overrated in my opinion and I don't really care to get into what is the "most" overrated.

Bioshock.  Excellent game but not an OMG experience.  It was a solid 8 for me.

really?  i liked everything BUT the "game" parts

[Beezy]

COD4 ain't overrated. It's the most fun console FPS I've played (I haven't played R6:V yet so shutup about it).

[Darunia]

On impulse I'd say Uncharted. I played through a chunk of the game at a friend's and even though I enjoyed it, I didn't see how it deserved all the 'buy uncharted!!'s. I'd have to experience the whole thing to pass final judgement, but that's my stance so far.

Otherwise I'd have to say CoD4. Pretty good campaign with a few remarkable highlights mission wise, but not something I'd throw goty awards at. The multiplayer also didn't grab me like millions of other people. I spent an entire day doing nothing but matches, but the next day I didn't feel like coming back at all. I'm really more of a co-op/sp kinda guy, but games like TF2 and Halo 3 managed to draw me into their mp a lot longer.

[Crushed]

The popular games arrrrrrrrrgh I hate popular things.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

BioShock (for its later half) or Uncharted. Maybe No More Heroes?

[Powerslave]

Final Fantasy 7.

It's been eleven fucking years. The game isn't any good, so shut the fuck up about it, remakes, spin offs, and that shitty fan-fiction you write on your deviantart page.

Better than any game you have ever played or will play.

[tiesto]

Seems like every other game is overrated to high heavens nowadays... especially in the genres I don't care about. The Halo 3 hype was pretty intense, and although I liked it more than Halo 1 and 2, the backlash for the game was EXTREMELY heavy.

[Grecco]

Assassins Creed and Bioshock for sure.  Uncharted wasnt really overrated since it got 8.0s on average. Only hyper Sbots overrated it.

[MCD]

yaris

[Mondain]

either Oblivion, Bioshit or Portal... probably Portal

[AdmiralViscen]

I read what you posted before drohne. You posted truth but: I don't like Xbox very much and I like Playstation very much. I have only problem with the vocal part of sfags. And nowadays gaf is 75% sfags, 20% nintenthings, 4% xbots and 1% pc ellitists.

Owned.

[demi]

I can't just name one... here are several instead, the ones that stood out to me highly

* Portal
* Mass Effect
* Oblivion
* Probably any Nintard game, we get it already, grow up

Gears isn't that overrated, it has co-op, which is the shit

I wouldnt even say Uncharted is overrated, it's good and I actually liked it

RESISTANCE I would say is the overrated one, with tards still jerking off over it like it still has any merit

Assassin's Creed is very split 50/50, you have your haters and your lovers, so that can't be an overrated game

[MCD]

well said demi.

[Eel O'Brian]

seems there's an oblivion backlash

i've noticed on messboards that some of the people who spent dozens or hundreds of hours playing it and posting about it now say it's overrated and awful

"this game sucks, lemme go play it for another forty hours"

gamers are such

[Mupepe]

Uncharted or Mass Effect no doubt.

Uncharted seemed great until I played it for an extended period of time.  Mass Effect was great until I drove the vehicle and did the side quests

I ran through, due to oblivions SHIT leveling system that only made the game WORSE as you got stronger, and did nothing but the achievements -- etiolate is the one you should be making fun of, having played WoW for upwards to 100 hours or so, only to say it's "not good"

For the record I will be buying Fallout 3, and I will probably hate that too - having never played an Elder Scrolls or Fallout previously

[Mupepe]

I hate your irrational hate of Bioshock.  I want to fuck you in your fucking ass every time you mention it being overrated.  in fact, i'm going to fucking skull fuck you.  grab you by your fucking ears and shove my shaft down your throat and fill it with sweet fucking cream.

[MCD]

bioshock was overhyped perhaps, not overrated.

[AdmiralViscen]

demi, why does Oblivion's leveling system make things worse as you go on?

[demi]

Because everyone else around you gets stronger, while your equipment sucks balls

So if you grind and boost your skills early on, you're only fucking yourself

I beat the game at I think Level 13, and you get stronger equipment just by doing the main quests alone, no need to grind or boost at all

[y2kev]

bioshock was overhyped perhaps, not overrated.

How was it not overrated?

Bioshock has no fewer than 4 fetch quests, an escort mission, 4 enemy types, sucky gunplay, and the Life o Matic tube thing that totally breaks gameplay balance (yes, I realize you can remove this with a patch).

This is what happened with Bioshock:

Ken Levine: blah blah blah blah blah MISE EN SCENE
Gaming press: omg omg omg omg

Nobody asked any questions afterwards, like, "Do you think the game is about 5-6 hours longer than it should be?" or "Why do you build up the little sister as some precious creature and then destroy this in the end?" or "Why do you have a ridiculously bad final boss?" or "Did you run out of ideas and thus put in yet another fetch quest?"

I'd give it a high 8.

[Mupepe]

demi, why does Oblivion's leveling system make things worse as you go on?

The fact that the same rats you were slaughtering at the beginning of the game are still formidable foes is kind of obnoxious.  it's tedious as fuck

and he's right about the equipment.  the equipment and leveling systems are incredibly broken.

i dunno lol.

[y2kev]

pretty sure the guy that came up with the level scaling idea is not at bethesda anymore  
edit: Uncharted averages a high 8, but I'm not surprised to see more EB trolling of people that don't even post here.

[demi]

I hate to defend PC owners, but if it takes the fanbase to fix what you shipped, then it's clearly a broken and shit game

[AdmiralViscen]

I don't understand how the life tubes in Bioshock are any different from quicksaves. The enemies are still damaged, but your ammo is still used up too so who cares? All you gain is like a third of a health bar from the whole process.

[demi]

The lifetubes are distinguished mentally-challenged because there's no danger of dying, there's no sense of urgency, there's no game over. I can just whack every enemy with a wrench, die, pop out of the tube, whack again, die, repeat repeat

[AdmiralViscen]

I guess if you only used the wrench then there's truly no penalty, but who would do that?

I just used quicksaves anyway, I didn't bother with the tubes.

Quicksaves don't keep the enemy damaged, though. And ammo isn't a penalty really (you don't lose it all, by the way) when you can use the plasmids to build up a super charged wrench and just whack your way through the game with really no penalty. I would have liked the game way more if you came back to life and the enemies regained their health too.

Me, after I ran out of creative plasmid combinations and relied on the basic ones that allow you to build a crazy powerful wrench.

yes.  i also found it damn near impossible to die with the right "upgrades" or whatever

Quicksaves don't keep the enemy damaged, but you also have whoamg all your ammo from before you fucked up!

But if the life tubes are giving you bonus ammo too then there's definitely a problem.

[Eel O'Brian]

i wasn't talking about you, demi, i know you never liked oblivion

i just noticed all the reversals of opinion i've been seeing around

the leveling never bothered me because of the way i played it

[Mupepe]

i never used the lifetubes.  they were the one thing i hated about the game.  I just loaded my last save when i died.

also, i don't mind fetch quests and the same enemies when I still find the battles engaging and I find the atmosphere engaging.  I guess that explains why i love bioshock and assassins creed so much.

I'm not totally clear on this, but I was told (or read) before the game shipped that there was a significant ammo penalty for dying...and that's not really the case.

And loading quicksaves seems kinda slow for how frequently you could potentially die in the game.

[Mupepe]

It doesn't take that long to load the saves and you shouldn't die THAT much in the game.  It's not that heavily populated with enemies.

[Eel O'Brian]

i used the lifetubes frequently

i just wanted to see how the story ended and be taken for a ride

too bad the cart derailed and someone threw up on the seat at the end

[demi]

the saves were useful when doing the Brass Balls achievement... don't use any lifetubes? ok, i will just constantly save!

Haha bow down before us you achievement whore.

Bow down before us, you mean. Your precious Steam has even adopted achievements.

good argumentation that tells how Bioshit truly is

recently it was unveiled that 2K games refused to allow any coverage of the game to press outlets that wouldn't give it their highest level of prominence possible, and that thus the reviews were some of the "best ones ever"... that explains the ridiculously inflated review scores, they basically cheated

what you don't mention however is that it's ridiculously SCRIPTED, you can't walk for five seconds without having an enemy, an NPC, an in-game cutscene or something in the environment harassing you, it's like LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME ENJOY THE ATMOSPHERE, DON'T TRY TO START A FLOWERY CONVERSATION WITH ME AT EVERY 10 SECONDS

I just wanted them all to SHUT THE FUCK UP, how are you supposed to be spooked when there's always someone that tells you what's going on, THANK YOU I'M NOT distinguished mentally-challenged I'M ABLE TO FIGURE OUT ON MY OWN WITHOUT ANNOYING NPCS SAYING IT ALOUD

they really fucked the whole System Shock 2 system so that distinguished mentally-challenged casuals could breeze through it, the regeneration tubes that ruin any feeling of tension are further proof of that

the levels are really small and cramped too, that's another disappointment, it's almost Deux Ex IW levels of bad

6/10 at MOST

Uncharted, it's Tomb Raider: Douchebag edition.

This post gets a thumbs up. Hate on bioshock is usually just nitpicking or issues of taste. Wtf dont like shellfish dont eat shellfish gtfo my place!
