This will come across as a fanboy post but oh well.
Halo CE - Reach
Halo has dead environments, lifeless. No purpose to them whatsoever. Walking around an environment I feel like there is nothing within it to make it believable. Not many objects scattered throughout the world. The environments seem to lack history, detials in practically every way. The multiplayer maps themselves are amateur at best as well. I'd love to see the map designers get together to talk about creating a new multiplayer map "Hey, we will put a stream through the middle, a similair base on both sides, and put a few rocks in between, man this will be so great"
[QUOTE="Grammaton-Cleric"]Frankly, your list comes off as some type of hipster-contrarian nonsense but assuming you are serious I'd love to know what you consider the apex of this medium. I mean it's cute that you deride games like Arkham City or Dark Souls but at some point I'd love to see some example of what you actually consider a great game and why. I usually wouldn't even bother asking the question in this type of thread (which is a garbage topic to begin with) but when I read a list that denotes some of the best-reviewed and loved games of this generation as "overrated" I'm genuinely curious as to what somebody like you plays.famicommander
A game being well reviewed means precisely dick in this day and age of "journalism". I don't base my opinions on popularity or critical response, positive or negative. I base it off my personal experience with the game, demos, developer history, videos, etc. I don't care if a game averages 12% on Gamerankings or 100 on Metacritic. Twelve year olds on GameFAQs are no less credible than your average review source, and that's sad. If you want a list of games I've enjoyed this generation, here: Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy 2 Virtua Fighter 5 Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II Binary Domain Yakuza series Valkyria Chronicles series Xenoblade Chronicles Bangai-O Spirits Sin and Punishment 2 Total War: Shogun II Super Smash Bros Brawl Super Meat Boy Child of Eden Red Dead Redemption New Super Mario Bros Wii Sonic Colors Sonic Generations Sonic Rush Tales of Vesperia Fragile Dreams The House of the Dead Overkill Muramasa: The Demon Blade Little King's Story Zack and Wiki Crush (PSP) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions Patapon series LocoRoco series Lumines series Dead Rising Batman Arkham Asylum (my problems with Arkham City mostly have to do with the game seeming to do things "for the sake of doing them", while AA felt more inspired) No More Heroes Ivy the Kiwi? Fishing Resort The World Ends With You Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Amnesia: The Dark Descent Deadly Creatures Condemned I and II Lost Odyssey Zelda series on Wii and DS Saints Row 1 and 2 Just Cause 2 Tekken series Red Steel 2 (the first one sucked though) Portal 1 and 2 Alpha Protocol Trackmania Metroid Prime 3 Wipeout PSP/PS3 games
