TNB: Alot of people are outraged when they see the word overrated, especially when it relates to a product they own. I have come under the most attack on the internet when ever I attempt to make a case in respect to the usage of the word; overrated. It wouldn't matter anymore if the same thing happens. One thing however is established; that a vast majority of people are not able to take criticism on something as trivial as video games. If I said a couple of games were underrated in one of my previous articles, I think it wouldn't be much of a bad idea or out of place to also reveal a list of games that were simply overrated through-out current gen.
The Nerd Stash: “The PS3 marked a turning point in the industry, and among the sea of popular titles came the rare games that are worth more now than ever.”
I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.
I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions
Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
agree for the most part but its hard to say top 5. because halo3, mass effect and god of war 3 could easily replace most of those. gta4 would be the only one i question on that list.
i disagree Assassin's Creed II & Brotherhood were some of the best games.
I strongly disagree with every single word typed about MGS4 in that article.
Best game this gen for me.
That seems like a bad list to me. Mgs4 and skyrim are both really good games. Are they overrated, maybe, but there more likely to be in my top twenty games of this gen, then a top 5 overrated.
*** most importantly the idea of an aging snake and making him suffer back pain was a ridiculous attempt to make an already bad game worse. ***
Worse decision ever in my opinion, it's like he wanted to write himself into a corner because of his "I'm done with MGS after this game" speeches then when he obviously knows people want another one it's like "Oh...well I can't progress the story now...I know ANOTHER prequel". The only way they can bring Snake back now is if they force a "cure" into the game or they do an alternative timeline starting with MGS1, a way where Naomi doesn't get captured but finally finds out a cure for Snake, guessing the plot of one of the future games could revolve round that
I'm playing it now for the first time. It's alright but I really miss the style which I've gotten used to from MGS1-3.
I feel like I can't do stealth as much as I could in the past games aswell, it kind of forces you to go into alert mode for some action, the radar dosen't help mind, worse that it's powered by a rapid decreasing battery. So they can have bloody robots and futuristic tec but they can't make a long lasting battery.
As for AC, the only AC I think has been over rated this gen is AC3.
