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

@Avian005 Please, if you are going to defend anything on there, don't defend the final boss. It's unforgivably bad. Please. I found the side quests to be boring, unoriginal, and tedious. I do not include the loyalty missions in the side quests, however. I'm okay with some of Mass Effect 2's changes(i.e. you pull the trigger, gun goes bang, things that are where you shot at die), but a lot of it was unnecessary. "Oh, people hated the Mako because we designed boring planets and the controls were awful. Cut it. Oh, people didn't like the inventory system? Cut it." They didn't even bother to fix most of the actual problems the original game had. Jacob was bad, and Jack's bad if you aren't in a relationship with her. Miranda's just boring, and Grunt is a poor man's Wrex. The morality system locks you into Paragon/Renegade if you actually want to succeed. Personally, I'd just rather not have a morality system at all, but hey.DarkLink77

Exactly, you found them that way, I found them a different way.

I personally liked the Mako, but I liked the changes to the side mission a lot more (despite them being more linear). And yes, I would LOVE to bring the inventory system back, but the one in ME1 wasn't good.

I disagree with what you said about Jacob, Jack, Miranda, and Grunt. HIGHELY, disagree.

I like the morality system. If ME1/2 didn't have it wouldn't have been better.

Now, we should end this. We're going a little off topic, but let us agree to disagree, despite the fact we will agure about this again at some point. :P

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="SilverChimera"] Again, I don't see how that matters considering they're both pretty bad. ME2 has a MUCH better cast of characters to make up for it. What did ME1 have? Horrible gameplay and the vehicles?SilverChimera

[QUOTE="Badosh"][QUOTE="sethman410"]Ok, list all the other tps of this generation that was better than UC2. I can only think of Gears of War, rest is worse than UC2 imo. Play more tps please.theuncharted34

nah, the core gameplay is right up there with uncharted but as a whole it's far from uncharted 2.

*unless you were only arguing about the core gameplay.*

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it. :PTheGuardian03

so, out of curiosity, what game are you hyping goty?

infamous 2 for me.

there are going to be a lot of sleepless nights for me when that game comes out :P

lol when does anyone on system wars ever stay on topic? :P

I only wish Uncharted 2's multiplayer was as good as its singleplayer.Stevo_the_gamer

Well maybe for you, but I feel the complete opposite for this game. It took alot of ideas from other game and managed to blend it together for a satisfying ride from beginner to end for me.

[QUOTE="Arach666"]To be honest,I only bought U2 because of the stellar review scores and I found it to be a bit disapointing. Goes to show how much one can trust in review scores.OnlyZiiDane

It´s just one of those games that when you end it,you feel it was ok but not worth the full price tag you´ve paid,especially because you have no intention of playing it again.

Oh well,what can I do,I even got the limited edition,shiny boxes get me all the time! :lol:

Add Demon's Souls, AC II, R&C Future: ACiT, Borderlands, and Red Faction: Guerilla. There's a bunch more ok-ish to good games as well. Some good arcade games that year too.

DarkLink77

ah man. I'm ashamed I forgot about a crack it time :( outstanding game right there.

and I see darklink is hating on.. pretty much everything again :P

lol you seem to hate on cinematic games and act like that is something new. Games have ALWAYS been getting more and more cinematic, which usually is a good thing IMO, if needed and if it doesnt hurt the gameplay. Ocarina of Time was one of the most cinemtic games on the N64 and it is the best game. Super Metroid ALSO is one of the most cinematic games on Super, and also the best Super Nintendo game. People hate on cinematic games for no reason and I do not understand it.

Real gangstas use the pistol.

Silverbond

Analog sticks. They's hard to aim with yo. SilverChimera

ME2, SMG, RDR...overrated yes. Though not close to UC2. UC2 is like...idk the Titanic of video games.percech

I completely agree with this thread

The game is one of the most overrated games I have ever played. The characters seemed better than most but the script was terrible, the story was also bland and predictable. The worst though is the gameplay it was just plain boring, maybe it was the lackluster shooting with enemies taking way too many shots but being dumb as a bag of doorknobs, or maybe it was the mediocre platforming segments where after playing games like assassins creed and prince of persia I was left asking why did they even bother to include it. Im not saying its a bad game but to me its just average, I will not get into the horrid MP which takes no skill. Something tells me if this game was multiplatform it would be just average, however since its a ps3 exclusive the cows seemed desperate early on to make some game the face of the ps3, UC2 with its high production values and excellent gfx somehow winded on top.

halo odst takes the crown of most overrated game this gen

but uncharted 2 is definitely second. i enjoyed the game, but it was nothing special. 8.5 at best. the graphics were and still are amazing, but beyond that (and maybe the story), the game is pretty average.

i must say though that the part at the end where you have to run across the bridge is definitely one of the coolest things i've ever played/seen in a video game. lets hope uc3 has more of those moments

that title definitely belongs to the halo games of this gen.

[QUOTE="RoOodriGowW"]

No , Halo is.And if I'm not mistaken U2 was the game to earn the biggest number of awards in vg history.

DarkLink77

Pistol? Or the Pistole?

Stevo_the_gamer

The pistol. Pistoles are for n00bs.

True, I'll give you that excuse.

Stevo_the_gamer

Aiming with analog sticks may be hard for you inferior PC gamers, but it comes naturally to the glorious console master race.

Best Halo campaign imo. The atmosphere was great. Also I thought the pacing was nice as well. :)

Have you even played it?

Eh, almost all big budget games are overrated.

Unless you're looking for reasons to hate... I really don't see how you can come up with this conclusion.

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.

I'm mostly a PC gamer, but I really loved Uncharted 2. One of the few console exclusives that did live up to the hype in my opinion.

Call of Duty says "hi".XEviscerateX

halo 3 and it's "believe" live action trailer said hi:o

Notice how all the people who think Uncharted is overrated are Microsoft fanmen? Whether you have a master cheif or Duke nukem avatar you're not fooloing anyone. Uncharted 2 was a good game. How could one call Uncharted generic and slobber and drool over generic space-marine fps all day is beyond me.

I only wish Uncharted 2's multiplayer was as good as its singleplayer.Stevo_the_gamer

It's a great game, but I'm going to have to agree. Everyone hyped it to hell so I expected something in a totally different league, especially when so many people said the multiplayer was better than Gears...

ill give them credit for making the MP 2-3 months before the game released...allgedy they werent even gonna put a MP in the game

There are a lot of over-rated games this gen: Metroid Prime 3, Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2.... there's a ton of games that have earned praise that are just snoozefests.

I'm still debating whether or not the community here lied to me about STALKER or not, but that'll have to wait until after Crysis 2 and maybe even King's Bounty

Completely agree, UC2 is so overrated and I would love to punch that twerp Nathan Drake in the face.

Are you one of those people that quit playing a few days/weeks after release?
