UC2 has got to be the most overrated game of this gen.

I didn't say MGS4 mainly because I'm not just looking at GS's score. UC2, has won so many awards, has gotten so much praise that it's almost false advertising if you ask me. Is it because there weren't that many good games out that year(much like Halo CE)? Well, to be fair at least Halo CE was innovative for console shooters, UC2 literally did nothing innovative. For a game to win so many awards, I'd expect it to be innovative I really do.

...but UC2, well let's just say there are other shooters out that were more innovative than this game. I really don't see the mass appeal. Perhaps it was just generated by the reviews. Was it because of the graphics? That it was some kind of technical feat? Cows argue that all Crysis is just a benchmark tool, that the gameplay was so average and mediocre. Well, playing UC2 I'd say the same. The gameplay has such a been there done that feel to it that I'm glad I just rented it.

I've honestly never played a game where I felt was so undeserving of the awards it got. Must have been a real boring year. Honestly, it didn't do anything for me. Perhaps if the game wasn't so praised, I wouldn't be such a harsh critic, but the game is honestly no more special than your averate tps. The game received so much praise that I felt obligated to play it. Now that I have, I must say I feel jipped.

IMO Uncharted 2 deserved all of the praises. The multiplayer was perfect for me. And so was Single player.

I honestly don't understand the idea that being innovative is necessary for critical acclaim. UC2 didn't do much new, but what it did was great.

Perfectly paced. Great voice acting. Flawless gameplay. Fun story. Graphically gorgeous. Sound design is excellent. Lots of content that is all top quality.

I don't know what else you want from a game.

*GASP* You haz an opinion! OMG!

Seriously, this topic has been created 20 times THIS YEAR. I'll leave this pic and leave.

Uncharted 2 was great.

No, that would go to Halo ODST.

Well on Gamespot anyways.

On Metacritic, I think it deserves 90+

^ haters gonna hate indeed.

Uncharted 2 is a fantastic game. One of my favorite this generation.

I dont think innovation needs to be present to be a GOTY contender, but I also dont think that UC2 was overly impressive overall. I enjoyed it when I played it but its a shelf game after that. I dont own it, nor do I own a ps3, Just played it a bunch. I personally look at things like carrying saves over from game to game in Mass Effect etc as being instantly better than anything that has been present in an uncharted game.

Uncharted 2 got many awards because it had little competition.SaltyMeatballs

there were plenty of great - outstanding games in 09.

uncharted 2 won so many awards because it's incredible 8)

i can think of another game that was so hyped at the beginning of this gen people said it was better then the 2nd coming of christ......

so no

Erase my original post , Uncharted 2 doesn't deserve the rewards. Kingdom Hearts 2 does. I shall protest! 8)

IMO, Batman AA was the best game of 2009, but Uncharted 2 deserved all the awards it recieved.

I loved Uncharted 2. I think it deserves all the awards it gets. TBH, it wasn't much of a competition. The only other games that rivaled it were Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassins Creed 2, and Modern Warfare 2. With the exception of AC2, I would say that U2 was far, far better than those games. IDK if Uncharted 2 is innovative, but what it does is it created an immersive, hollywood-like experience far better than any other game at the time. Innovation shouldn't be a reason to discount U2 either considering the most innovative game last year was probably Batman or AC2.

It did everything extremely well

infamous, killzone 2 (outstanding), batman arkham asylum (great) just to name a few on the ps3.

I think Uncharted 2 deserves every praise it got.

Overrated for me is COD.

Assassins Creed 2 was twice the game Uncharted 2 was in my opinion...

Topics based around how it's overrated are overrated.

Anyways, I loved it so that's pretty much all I really need to know.:)

I don't agree with you.

Hmm... Should I? It seems like a perfect oppurtunity... hmmm.... decisions, decisions... ;)

And no, 2009 was not a great year, and yes, Uncharted 2 had no competition.

Infamous is far more overrated than U2 is, Killzone 2 is great shooter but definitely not GOTY worthy, and Batman is just great. Nothing more.

Really? When I think of AC2, I don't think repetitive. Maybe AC1, but not 2.

What happens when UC3 doesn't win a bunch of GOTY awards?

UC2 did everything well, it did not one thing inperticular amazing but as a whole it was solid without any major holes. The story though is terrible

It mastered so many elements that it felt innovative. It does everything perfect or close to it. Deserves every bit of praise it gets.

[QUOTE="SilverChimera"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Gamespot rarely gives GOTY to the game that actually deserves it.DarkLink77

Really? I thought it was dope.:) Then again, opinions v. opinions rarely get anywhere but you seem to love it so I shall end it here good sir.:P

It innovated the way Devs thought of cinematics in video games.
