These are the most overrated games according to IGN

1. GTA4

Empty city. Not much to do beside driving and shooting.

2. Uncharted 3

Too many cinematics. Story goes first at expense of gameplay.

3. Minecraft

Too complex. It´s more like a Lego builder than a game.

4. Legend of zelda: Majora's Mask

Only 6 temples. Weird Link. Side quests are not good enough compared to previous installments.

Maybe you could argue that Minecraft on PC is complex if you don't mod it since you need to remember every combination to build stuff, and playing online is a hassle, but since we have the 360 version which is completely devoid of those issues I don't see the problem.

It is hard to understand whether they speak of Uncharted 3 or Uncharted in general.

Complete bullshit, there's so much more to do than that. They seem to forget that the game has a multiplayer full of hundreds of hours of fun.

Can't say I disagree with UC3 though

Yeah seriously, there's detail in every damn corner and on PC there's so much traffic and pedestrians when set to max. The whole city feels much more alive than any other virtual open world city by far.

Uncharted 3 and GTA IV are both good games that just don't come close to being as great as their predecessor. The only difference is, fans AND critics knock Uncharted 3 for this and yet GTA IV received nothing but praise from most reviewers. And yeah, both are good games, but GODDAMN gta IV is so underwhelming compared to San Andreas, a game with a far bigger map with more variety in locations, missions, vechicles, and activities. Oh, and the driving didn't feel like ASS in that game, so you could actually have fun trying to race or outrun the cops.

The reason Minecraft is overrated is because it's too complex? I agree it's overrated, but definitely not for the reason they give. I mean, it doesn't even make any sense.

 

Uncharted? [spoiler] Yeah... [/spoiler]

You realise these websites aren't run by one person right? Different reviewers have different tastes, just because one person gave a game a 10 doesn't mean everybody that works there feels the same way.

Wait they didn't even say mincraft was complex, they just said it wasn't much of a game and more of a toy, in the respect that all your given is a place and an item and then you decide what to do :S

My most overrated game is the assasins creed series, i've played through 1 and 2, and i just felt so bored, the combat is repetitive, block block block counter repeat, the story was quick boring, there was no point in upgrading your castle, by the time you got the great asassins custome the game was over, the mechanics were rubbish and the missions were so boring it was a real bore just to get through it. 2 was better than one but not by much.

I agree that GTA IV was boring and certainly overrated, but I don't think anything can come close to MGS IV as far being the most overrated game of last gen.  The game got near perfect reviews from almost every site but was nothing more than cutscene after cutscene the entire game.  A complete piece of trash IMO.

I think Uncharted 3 is a game that intergrates gameplay and cinematics quite nicely. The story that is the driving point for the cinematics is the part that is hilariously bad.

Saying Uncharted 3 put story over gameplay invalidates your opinion entirely. The game's story was pathetic and completely escapes any idea of summer action blockbuster the previous two had. Maybe I should watch the video but IGN's podcasts generally bore the f*ck out of me after I listen to more Rev3Games

4. Legend of zelda: Mask of Betrayal

Only 6 temples. Weird Link. Side quests are not good enough compared to previous installments.

Do you mean Majora's Mask?  Pretty sure Mask of Betrayal isn't a Zelda game.:?

Why not. IGN has prety good articles. They are usually overpositive about AAA launches. But for the rest, they are quite trustworthy.

I agree with the first two... not sure of legend of zelda... actually minecraft should be the most over-rated
