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.
ScreenRant's Ben Brosofsky writes, "There have been a lot of great co-op games over the years, and the best of the best cover a wide variety of genres while maintaining the fun."
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.
Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
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.
