Uncharted is Overrated

Killzoneis Overrated

Halois Overrated

Gears of Waris Overrated

CoDis Overrated

Elder Scrolls is Overrrated

Vanquishis Overrated

Resistanceis Overrated

See how easy it is to use the word "overrated"?

Medicore story? Perhaps, but the dialogue and characters more than make up for that.

Way too linear? You must be kidding. Uncharted is not Just Cause 2. All shooters are linear.

Boring combat? I disagree, but I guess this is a matter of opinion.

I do think Uncharted 2 is a bit overrated, but those were some pretty weak points.

UC3Drake

Actually, your whole list is correct except for Vanquish, which is kind of ironic.

Did you really just say all shooters are linear? /facepalm

[QUOTE="OB-47"]

[QUOTE="Badosh"] probably why alot of people say it's overrated....DragonfireXZ95

Yeah, alot of people who didn't enjoy the game as much as the award givers themselves. Poor arguement, because if I was to say HL2 is over-rated, then I could just say all those awards prove it is, when really it is a masterpiece

Except gaming has changed since then. Now all you get is advertising hype and budgets that dictate game awards. It's turned into a huge farce and is just as bad as the Academy Awards or the Grammies. It's a huge joke now.

Just look at Gamespot awards for instance. Halo: Reach over Bad Company 2? That's a joke.

Mass Effect 3 over Fallout: New Vegas? Another joke.

Halo Reach is a great game. And do you seriously think that they would give it to the glitchfest that was New Vegas, especially after they gave it a 7.5?

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

[QUOTE="gaming25"] No they arent. It is the probably the epitome of what cinematics are in a video game, which is why it is an amazing game.gaming25

Bad Company 2 is a better shooter still, and should have gotten the award.

New Vegas is a better RPG, despite the glitches. You really don't know RPG's very well if you don't realize that. And you're wrong, New Vegas got an 8.5 on PC.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="UC3Drake"] Um... I thought it was overrated o.o?

UC3Drake

And Uncharted 2 IS teh bestest geame evur kreeted.

[QUOTE="gaming25"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] So the cut-scenes are good. Big freakin' whoop. They're flash in the pan titles. There is absolutely nothing unique about them.

DarkLink77

The whole experience was like a movie. Its what most of the reviews say.

I loved Uncharted 1 not so much Uncharted 2

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="gaming25"] Halo Reach is regarded as a great game.

The story was cheesy science fiction, just like the first and I didn't like it. It is just the presentation that is amazing. The graphics are amazing. The single player action sequences are hectic and right out of a hollywood blockbuster. If it had a more intriguing storylines like say Assassins Creed or Prince of Perisa (SoT trilogy), then the game would be pretty perfect. Drakan11

This is NOT OK dude. Ok you can say Uncharted 2 is crap and all that but DON'T EVER SAY THIS. Assassins Creed (2 & brotherhood) has the worst "story" anyone has ever concieved including any thought coming from any brain of any living creauture during the history of existence. It's 10x worse than The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.

It is. Anyone who legitimately thinks Uncharted 2 is the sixth best game ever made needs to play batter games, but that doesn't mean it's bad.DarkLink77

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="UC3Drake"]I need some elaboration.Other than Half Life 2, Just Cause, and Crysis(which is meh btw), are there any other non-linear shooters? Not a joke post .

UC3Drake

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Reach IS better than BC2, though. At least on consoles, and especially in the single player department.

Why would they give a game RPG of the year that got a 7.5? Also, KOTOR says hi.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="UC3Drake"]In your post , you said it did everything very well. I'm wondering how can it do everything well, yet be overrated? Unless you meant presentation wise only?

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Yes. but the awards are spread throughout the PC and console versions. And the PC version of BC2 is better than Reach.gaming25

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] The whole Stalker series, Hitman series, Grand Theft auto series, Far Cry 1 and 2, Deus Ex.... There are tons of non-linear shooter games. I love how you throw the meh comment in at Crysis too. Gotta love the fanboyism in a "non-joke" post.DragonfireXZ95

No comment as I haven't played BC2 on PC, but Reach does have the core game beat in a lot of ways (feature-wise). Personally, I think either game deserved the nod as both were excellent, so it doesn't bug me. ME2 better than NV, though? Hell no. BioWare wishes they were half the RPG devs Obsidian is.DarkLink77

Nah, the series deserves the praise it gets. It does what it sets out to do exceptionally well.

[QUOTE="gaming25"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Vanquish has much, much better gameplay, so that statement is false. And oh, I don't know, because the game isn't a masterpiece? There's nothing special about it. Masterpeices have to be able to stand the test of time. UC2 isn't going to, because all it has is presentation, and once another game does it better, no one will care.

I thought Vanquish was a little overrated :)

Okay, I guess it is silly to say that all shooters are linear, but I can't actually think of any that aren't. And no-one say Crysis, because at times it can be very linear. Not like that is a bad thing though.

I haven't played Vanquish(only the demo) so I don't know, but I rarely ever see praise for it except by a certain couple of people on this forum, so I don't see a need to call it overrated.

However I do see more praise than any of those other games deserve on these forums simply because they are the most commercially hyped and the most popular.

I think he meant the story as a series, which is very intruiging. And while Brotherhood's story was a little disappointing, it is far from the worst story ever created. And AC2? Come on... how does that have a bad story? If you want a bad story then go play CoD or Just Cause 2.

Eh, I disagree, especially about BO having a better story than Brotherhood. What I liked about Brotherhood's story was the advancment of the main story (as well as the awesome improvements to the gameplay) and the development of Ezio's character was great in AC2. And the reason no-one says ACB is overrated is that it scored an 8.5, while the average user score is 9.1 (so most people think it's underrated). Anyway, let's not turn this thread into a debate over Assassin's Creed. (As a side note, I swear I've had this discussion with you multiple times before) :P

@ UnrealLegend

Yeah that's me allright! I recognize your avatar now!
Anyway I was thinking about the 91 score on metascore which is crazy 8,5 is also way too much. But you're right let's not make it about AC.
One thing though, yeah Uncharted is cliche, mostly lazaraveich, but it isn't a game which is suppose to be deep and all. It's suppose to have a shallow Indiana Jones story and it does that great (exept the endings IMO). I don't think that's bad they just chose a different path than AC. But AC chose the deep path the path full of historical intrigues etc. but it fails badly. It's real pretentious.

Easily the best part of the campaign.

In the way it occured it was one of the best. You were holding fighting sequences while clinging on and up to a car, and then jump before it blows up.

Uncharted 2 just came out a year and a half ago. We have no clue how it will be 10 years from now. It seems like you are trying to grasp at straws by making your main case against UC2 being something that we cant even prove. And Mass Effect 2 scored higher than NV so I dont know why you were surprised.
