Overrated games

[Napoléon]

I told you to "shut your mouth" as a fucking joke, which has been ruined by you deciding I was being argumentative. I never told you I didn't want you to respond, although that's what you seem to have taken out of it for no reason.

If I didn't take it as a joke then I wouldn't of gave you kudos on it. If you go back and actually read, all I did since that response was try to explain why I think the game is overrated, and you gave me one line responses, for the most part ignoring any of my points. Or at least it seemed that way. If I've taken it wrong then I apologise.

Are people saying the game is perfect - and why? Maybe by their subjective standards, it is. Maybe they have overrated opinions in your mind, but I don't think the game is overrated despite its flaws because I derive excessive enjoyment from it anyway. I think you and I are comparing apples to oranges here. Take the KotOR that you mentioned - I watched David play, and despite a great love for that universe I didn't give a fuck for the game. What matters if the mechanics are perfect if I don't give a shit about the story? In the end I'd just be pushing buttons for no reason.

KotOR has one of the best stories in any RPG ever made. If not the best. My subjective opinion is that it is my favourite game. Objectively it does not have any major flaws on the scale of what Skyrim has. Therein lies the difference.

I feel the same way about Halo, which he also loves to the point of watching the TV miniseries multiple times and I gave him one of their novelizations as something to read at night and he's been continuing with that series. Dude loves Halo. He doesn't think it's overrated at all. I think it's boring.

I'm only trying to look at things objectively based on the subjectivity you talk about. Halo is equally as hyped as what Skyrim is. If I look at it objectively I'd say that the hype Halo and Skyrim both get is too much for what it is, KotOR's hype isn't anywhere near the scale of the hype for Halo and Skyrim. Why is this so hard to comprehend? Seems to me you are trying to view everything as subjective when in actual fact we can be quite objective about a game being overrated.

Also, I treat game review websites the same way I treat pro book reviewers and pro movie reviewers. Most of them are arrogant and condescending. I've stopped reading them because I don't give a fuck about what some 'pro' thinks - they do that sort of thing for a living and I think it beats the love out of them eventually. I want opinions from the every day common man - the lurker on reddit who can give me a biased, but cogent answer as to why the game does it for them, because if I'm going to devote time to a game, I want it to be something that ends up consuming me. And this game does - modded or not, flawed as it is.

I'm not denying reviewers are like that. I've not denied they are subjective. I would only be repeating what I have previously said to address anything you've said here.

In terms of mods, just look back at what I said to Moros for my opinion on that matter.
