Overrated games

[bennyboy]

That's a matter of opinion, which is what I'm trying to express here. I don't think either of them are overrated.

Objectively, Skyrim is overrated.

It's received so many perfect 10's on review sites. The game has so many issues that it simply doesn't warrant a perfect 10. You cannot deny this. The game is overhyped and overrated.

That does not mean to say I think it is a bad game. That's not at all what I'm saying. Like I said earlier in this thread, I've put 600 hours into Skyrim, I do indeed love it. But I can't consider it a perfect game, a game that I would give a 10/10 to. That's why it's overrated. Honestly, I think anyone who disagrees must be viewing Skyrim with some rose-tinted glasses.

Any game with level-scaling mobs is overrated. I fight a couple monsters in an area of Skyrim, and they're my level-- I come back after gaining my uber near-end-game powers, and. . . they're my level. wtf? I came to wipe out a fucking town with a single fireball, not not have a "fair challenge" in a level 1 zone.

Yeah.. My family couldn't afford a PC when I was 7. Certainly not one I would have been allowed to play video games on..

And honestly I'd never even heard of unreal tournament until the last few years. I'm not one of those "I don't care about graphics" gamers either. I want to be able to see things that aren't made of big ugly squares.

Big ugly squares.... ut.... pfffff, you clearly don't know UT.
It has big beautiful squares!

In terms of dollar-for-dollar and minute-for-minute fun, UT is wayyyy near the top of my list. I'd put it in a 3-way tie with the early Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy games.

All three are proof that games have gotten shinier but not better, imo.
