Overrated games

[Welsh cake]

Smash Bros.

Holy. Hell. Overrated doesn't even begin to describe it.

I've never seen a little fighting game meant to be a joke, a parody, invoke so much fanboy savageness.

Skyrim

You shut your mouth.

It's overrated. Doesn't mean it's a bad game and it doesn't mean I don't love it. But by god it is so overrated.

Look, someone is wrong on the Internet.

No need to rib Summer too much, it happens to the best of us.

Skyrim

You shut your mouth.

I've just bought the SkyRim Legendary pack for the PS3 (my laptop's poked and won't play it).

Looking forward to trying it on my 60 inch TV!

On the downside, I might not be here much in the coming months.

Pretty sure he was talking to you, stinker.

My mother loved Tetris on the NES. she really liked Doctor Mario too, since she could compete with me. I never really got too much into it, though, and sometimes refused to play DM when she wanted to play

My grandmother was so hooked on Dr. Mario that the game burned into her TV screen.

Exactly

Seriously though, Skyrim is overrated. How the fuck it's scored so many 10/10's on review sites is beyond me.

And if there's one thing I've realised after years of playing Bethesda games, it's that they don't age well. Graphically Skyrim is already looking pretty dated (I know you have mods for PC but fuck the master race I don't care). Gameplay wise, animations and character movements have never been the most fluid or even anywhere near the best.

And then there's the issues I have with the game world. How nothing you ever do has real consequence. This is the biggest blight in the Elder Scrolls series in my opinion.

Probably because it's being rated by fangirls like me

It's like Lord of the Rings - people think it's boring, formulaic, somewhat sexist, blah blah blah.

Fuck those people. I love those books.

And I love that game.

And TES just put out a video where one of the hobbits (Dominic) was talking about his enjoyment of Skyrim, just to link the two.

While we're on that topic, I'm going to go download The Hobbit and touch myself while thinking of Thorin. Goddamn, Armitage, you sexy. Where's the mod dropping him into Skyrim so I can marry him?
