NO GAME IS WITHOUT HATERS! That is the most important thing i need to make clear that i am aware of.Its the ironic characteristic of the gaming community, when a game gets bad reviews, there will be a majority that call the game terrible an a good sized group of people complaining the critics were too harsh. And then when a game gets mega popular, a large population may adore the game but of course there is the group that will call the game overrated or call critics biased or foolish.

Well this is what i see alot on SW, people arguing about games under or over rated, it just makes a guy want to scream at the top of ur lungs and say "OMG, is there a game system wars as a whole DOES like??!!". I doubt this thread will answer that question. Heck this board is called a war, not a negotiation haha.

BUT lets get to my main point. Sure, no game is perfect or without haters, but if u had to pick one current gen game, which one do you think is the most highly regarded and unanimously respected by the gaming community. Like i said, this doesnt have to mean it has to have no haters, but the least haters!!!! Understand?!

And this too.

idk bout that, when the game came out there were a good deal of threads about it being over rated and too kiddy to take seriously. I personally love it tho, feels close to perfection

The game with the least haters? Most likely Super Mario Galaxy. Bioshock is close and if UC2 wasn't exclusive, it would be as well.

Halo ODST...I kid. :P

I'm thinking uncharted 2, but then lemmings wouldn't like the sound of that. Or SMG2, which I think anyone who played it would stop saying any bad things about it.

If UC2 wasn't exclusive, it would be on the list. But you know those cows/lemmings, have to hate the competition.

Basically what everyone else said haha, Uncharted 2 is also one of the highest regarded games this gen. I'd also give Skyward Sword a chance.

SMG2, Arkham Asylum and Portal are the only games that I've seen that usually supersede any severe criticism.

None of the games listed on here deserve hate though, they're all great games.

rasengan2552

Oh please.

Not too many people bash Demon Soul's. Actually, one of the only people I've seen bashing is in love with the PS3.

I don't know why so many people insist on trying to make PS3 exclusives look like the victims of hate campaign.

People bash Oblivion horribly on this forum.

Same thing with MGS4, Halo: Reach, etc.

I agree with this. But my own personal masterpiece is Red Dead. But it's got it's fair share of haters.

Well, it is an RPG in the sense that you play a role, but it has very little in common (Other than NPC interaction) with traditional RPGs. What else do people complain about with this game?

Most people seem to either misunderstand this thread or have a very strange point of view. How could anybody say Super Mario Galaxy 2 for example? It gets tons of hate for being "kiddy" or a "rehash" or being "overrated". Any Mario game does. Bioshock also gets a fair share of hate. So does Demon's Souls for being difficult and the lack of story, Mass Effect for bad shooting gameplay and not being a proper RPG or Halo for being the same old Halo. The only game I would agree on that was mentioned is Arkham Asylum. You hardly see anybody trashing it.

to be honest yeah thats the only thing people really pick on it for, arguing semantics over what qaulifies and doesnt qualify ME2 as an rpg. Thats really what annoys people and why probably ME1 is closer to being a unanimous success

I don't think that there is a definitive one because no matter what game it is, there will be a huge opposition of gamers that like a different game more, there will never be a complete consensus. Although there are some nominees such as Uncharted 2, MGS4, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario Galaxy just to name a few.

A game entirely without haters? Does not exists (especially not in SW).

The closest you'll get are Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Demon Souls.

(I have not heard anyone talk trash about Portal 2 yet but give it time... it'll probably come.)

Portal

Batman: Arkham Asylum

TF2

SMG

And personally I have yet to hear a single negative remark about the game Frozen Synapse. In fact all I've heard so far is that it's a masterpiece :P I have yet to play it though.

So, the least amount of haters? Well, let's make things clearer. It has to be a multiplatform game not exclusive. So, Super Mario Galaxy doesn't count because it is exclusive AND I have seen hate topics or hate comments towards this game. So, it should be like Bioshock or Batman.

Arkham Asylum, Portal, Super Mario Galaxy, and Bioshock. I'd list Uncharted but IMO it has too many flaws to it's game design to be considered a "masterpiece."

Wrong way around. A role playing game with TPS combat.
