SF4 is the most over rated game of 2009 so far.

[QUOTE="FirstDiscovery"]Had it not been for the mass casualisation, it wouldnt have turned out so dumbed downtoo_much_eslim

...it's a success because it's wrapped inside a layer of absolute accessibility. reviewer

Who cares? Dead of Alive beats them all.-DrRobotnik-

Street Fightr 4 is amazing! the most over rated game of 2009 will be Killzone 2! i am not a huge fighting game fan but i went out and got SFIV it's truely amazing! so much depth and the character balancing is aweomse! a lot of characters,challenges and a great online How can this game be called over rated? it is arguably the best one in the series!

dont really like to many fighters but this one is awesome. definitely a AAA. I have a theory that the people who dont like it just happen to suck at the game.Blitz_Nemesis

It's great, but not nearly as good as the reviews.

Anyone agree, because when me and my friends played it for 3 hours, we wanted to play Soul Calibur to get the bad taste out of our systems.

Um...no. It's not overrated. Even Jeff Gertsman gave it a 10. ASK_Story

Well, I never really owned a fighter (except for Smash Bros back on the N64), and I'm really enjoying it.

Some pros I can point out so far:

• A lot of attention was given to details.
• It seems to be a very in-depth, with potential to be played for a very long time.
• It's just fun to play.

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]Even though I love hte SC series I have to say SF4 was more enjoyabel then SC4. It feels really balanced. Especially online. SC4 felt really cheap cause of anoying players,but SF4 there isint many ways to be be a spamer. One example was me being abel and fighting again someone as ryu. He was spaming hadukens and it was easy to break that spam. All I really want is a guilty gear online.waynehead895

I dont have gold and wont have gold for a good while,but I dont mind. ALso is anyone even playing that still.

[QUOTE="Couth_"]I don't understand what the hype was behind SFIV. It's a great series, but as far as I'm concerned Tekken and SC have always been betterBioShockOwnz

Tekken and SC are probably the worst fighters. VF and SF are the winners.

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"][QUOTE="110million"] I stopped reading. :| SFIV is not something you can see, or read about, to fully understand the changes, you have to play it. 110million

Again, all these might not mean much in text, but when you actually play the game and form strategies with them, it greatly improves the experiance. The fighting genre is far from dead, I play a great new fighter every few months, people are just not dedicated enough to try new fighters, so they pretend they don't exist or something.

[QUOTE="Couth_"][QUOTE="crazy-player"] No, there's still KoF, BlazBlue, Bushido Blade, Battle Fantasia, etc.jasonharris48

OK, since this is turning into a debate about which fighting game franchise is better, I'll put in my two cents. Keep in mind I have no experience in DOA, MK(the first game's main song is awesome), and I won't get SF4 until Saturday, because my birthday's on Sunday and because of church I'm having it a day early.

Soul Calibur 2 on the GameCube was, to me, awesome. I loved the various modes, being able to play as Link, the graphics. Then I replayed it three months ago on the arcade, and I was shocked at how bad it became for the increasingly VF fan in me. Button mashing goes far.

Then there's Tekken. Tekken has a special place in my gaming, since my first fighting game was Tekken 3. After playing T5, I was amazed, because it felt so fluid and fun, and I loved it.

And last is Virtua Fighter 5 for the 360. Let's just say this: This is the perfect game for beating up button mashers, because that game requires so much skill to play well, it's the deepest fighter ever, even deeper than Capcom games. You have so many moves to work with, and the character balance is a masterpiece in itself.

So out of those three, VF is my favorite right now.

It's not that I don't think it's overrated, I'm sure it's great, but I just can't bring my self to pay $60 for a fourth installment. I have SF2 and 3; I love them both, but I can wait. After reading some comments and I shouldn't be surprised as long as I've been a member here, but many of you are overly biased about fighters. I love certain ones over others, but I can see why people like different fighters. Oh...well, I'll let children be children. Fighting over opinions. lol

MK and SF are awesome 2D fighters.

Tekken and SC are awesome 3D fighters.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the DoA series and I can't say too much about other fighters because I'm not familiar with all of them.

Well I don't have the game but I think you might be right. I read the review yesterday and it went on and on about the visuals and online play mostly. I don't see how a game in an almost dead genre with nothing particularly innovative to bring to the table can score a 9.0. I think the reviewer had both nostalgia and hd hype goggles on at the same time.Bigboi500

The only fighters which i have played are Street Fighter 2, Soul Calibur 2 and 4, Tekken 3 and Smash Bros.

I had so many memories playing Smash Bros and it was the first game i have ever played, but it is more of a party game.

Stret Fighter 2 was amazing, the characters were well balanced, and it was easy to pick up but hard to master.

Soul Calibur was a button masher, but in no means was it garbage, i mean its a great game with tons of content, but characters weren't well balanced and when i thought i got good, my friend who never played it before picked up the controler and whhooped my ass by pressing random buttons.

Tekken 3 was average, i just found characters to be un interesting, but i got tired of it.

So basically having not played Street Fighter 4, but i am hopefully going to pick it up tomorrow, i cannot say if it is overated or not, but i think that no games are over rated, it's just that some people like games more then others.

btw dead or alive is overated.... i keed :P

If you wanted to play some original Soul Calibur that's fine but if you were talking about SCIV

wtfnk?

Congrats. You are the first person to make this type of thread. There is always one of these threads for every high scored game out there.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is over rated, Gears of War 2 is over rated, Halo 3 is over rated, Grand Theft Auto 4 is over rated, and now we have Street Fighter 4 is over rated.

Anyways I haven't played it but it looks great.

I love the fighter genre so any new fighting game to come out i will appriciate it.

Tekken and SC are probably the worst fighters. VF and SF are the winners.

BioShockOwnz

wow this is what he gets for having an opinion, i think GTA IV, Gears 2 and halo 3 are over rated oh well i guess im a totally wrong because i cant voice an opinion of a high rated game.i think people here need to also realise that this genre is dying it wont ever be the same its unfornate but its the truth...yoyo462001

Thats not my point. Im just saying anytime a game comes out that gets great scores, one person always needs to stand out and make a "enter game name here" is over rated. People make these threads just to piss people off or to get attention. There is no reason for someone to make a threads like these.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]Tekken and SC are probably the worst fighters. VF and SF are the winners.

Saturos3091

I agree with your complaints against VF, but I just love how it's a more technical fighter. Same goes for SF. The reward feels like you've earned it. That'sa good feeling.

i dont really care for any fighters ever since they went 3D, KI is still unmatched IMO Dante2710

SFIV is 2D.:D
