Overrated games

[Napoléon]

Halo is overrated.

Holy shit how did I forget about gaylo. Lame story. Lame main character. Lame gameplay.

Even the fucking name, "master chief". I can't take that seriously. It's like a 12 year old kid came up with that name.

Why does gaylo bring up some fucking hilarious images in my head.

I don't think graphics are the thing that holds back games. I think people just see good graphics on a short/bad game put 2+2 and get 5. I just think publishers don't like holding onto a game long enough to add more content. They just see something that looks like it will sell and shove it out the door before its reached its potential. Plus gamers are an easy sell, we whine a little when a painfully average game hits the shelf but then the next one comes out and most of us buy that too. That and gamers have notoriously short attention spans, if a game takes too long to develop most people have forgotten it and spent their cash for some cheap thrill elsewhere.

Most Indie games are overrated.

Some are great and original, most fucking suck. You may as well just dust off one of your old consoles and play some of your ancient games. For the most part they are clones of games people played once as a kid. It would be nice if they bothered to improve the UI's but apparently they painful confusion of trying to figure out how the fuck you do anything is part of the fun too! For the most part you can get better games on your phone for 1/10th of the price.

Lucky I was like 12 when I played it

I loved Halo 3 for being one of the first few games that let me play the campaign with my friends. That with the music and the forge made the game great for me.

Overrated still because the number of people that worship halo as some god among games.

Halo is overrated.

1st one blew me away. The difference between ps1 and the next gen was astounding at the time (I too was around 12 at the time). I also liked the 4 factions all fighting each other thing (Humans, flood, covenant, sentinels), that takes some doing.

2nd and 3rd were ok, the retconning of the civil war was annoying though, what the hell ever happened with that.

The most recent one by the new company, halo 4, was terrible, even without the flood.

And yes Insanity, half of what made halo good was the music. 'On a Pale Horse' is awesome-sauce.

Never got into crisis (damn autocorrect), very meh for me.

Bungie did a good enough job that I'm more than willing to shell out for their next offering, Destiny. That it features the voice of Tyrion Lanister also helps.

And what's all this bollocks about them not being worth $60?
One, in Australia we're paying at least $90, even when we're at parity. Two, it depends on how long you're going to play the game. They often end up being much better value than movies.

3. Use the power of the pirate bay.

Any first shooter game is overrated.

First person games can be good, but most first person shooters are overrated.

Baseball and golf.

Fuck-- both of those are a perfect blend of long stretches of utter boredom and short moments of utter frustration.

Oh GOD! Fucking golf. I can sort of understand playing it having been down to the driving range a few times. But watching it? WHY!?

[Napoléon]

Fuck the pair of you. Golf is great.

Sure, I get that watching it on TV can be boring. Especially if you don't appreciate the sport. I could say the same for any kind of game though. Snooker, soccer, basketball, rugby, darts... Any of these sports/games can be boring to watch if you don't play or appreciate the skill involved in them.

Cricket on the other hand? THAT is the definition of a boring thing to watch.

Agreed with most folk who say Halo 4 sucked hard. It did.

However, saying that, the MP is something I've always played quite a lot and been really good at. I don't really play games online anymore aside the odd afternoon of Star Trek MMO so the fact that I keep going back to Halo to play online says something I guess.

Man you should go to an ashes game and get drunk with some Ozzies.

I saw England beat Oz at Trent Bridge last year - Had a free bar and was surrounded by Ozzies with some hilarious banter. Doesn't matter that the game was dull, I can't even remember leaving the ground!
