Overrated games

Well, at least by the die hard FF fans who like to cosplay and get tattoos on their arm of their favourite FF characters (I knew someone who did this).

The games are great if you enjoy 50 hours of mindless grinding
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

RE: Overrated games
I am a Zelda fan, but there are complaints I have about the series. One of which is the linearity creep. I know that stories flow better when a game is more linear, but you can do better than Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. I have heard A Link Between Worlds is better, due to the item renting system, but I doubt I'll play it because I'm trying to give up consoles and go to PC.

I'm going to miss Zelda, Smash Bros, Harvest Moon, and Pokemon.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Well nintendo is done making consoles anyway.

Of course you know hat game is really overrated. Morrowind. The animation is so poorly done that I couldn't stop laughing at how the character walked so I play the game.

Yeah, the WiiU is a handheld, and it TANKED. I even saw a video saying it was a worse flop than the Virtual Boy. The device that caused seizures and neck pain.

The wii U is actually both a handheld and a console.

In fairness Morrowind has never been about the animations, or the combat and the reviews always do pick up on its criticisms. Even people who like the game will admit its many shortcomings. Sure the graphics are terrible (even for the time it was released) and the animations are laughable, but that's almost part of its charm.

As a big fan of TES3, absolutely Morrowind has many faults in the graphics department (and elsewhere). It's still a great game for so many other reasons. Frankly, with this type of game, I'd much prefer them to expend resources on gameplay than eye candy.

RE: Overrated games
I think graphics are pretty overrated, and the quality of game play has been sacrificed for eye candy. I'd take multiple great games being released yearly, over several great games being released every four or five years. Maybe I'm just not much of a gamer anymore.

RE: Overrated games
As much as I enjoy seeing a beautiful world, I give graphics a low priority too. That seems to be Playstation's big thing, from what I've heard, which is why I wouldn't personally switch to that.

I'm sorry but this is a stupid comment. Playstation as a system doesn't put any more emphasis into graphics over story/gameplay content than Xbox does. It's the developers of the individual games that are responsible for that. And Playstation 4 from the get go has actually had developers on side (compared to how developers hated the ps3 for developing).
