So there is topic about most underrated. Shoud be an opposite of that, shouldnt it?

I think Mark of the Ninja or Dishonored - overrated.

Also we can discuss most overrated game of all time. My thoughts: Half Life 2. Nothing special.(except for Gravity Gun, which is really awesome)

But Mark of the Ninja and Dishonored are actually really good. Generally things like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty tend to be the most overrated (Skyrim has to be the most overrated game ever) but I've actually not heard a lot of those games so I can't make that call this year.

Mark of the Ninja sits in my backlog so might be true. But I enjoyed Dishonored a lot, I heard it had great stealth and was above average fun, turns out it had great stealth and was above average fun. Rated properly IMO.

Both of those games are amazing. Mark of the Ninja pretty much revolutionized stealth gameplay.

Revolutionized? I don't think so, but it definitely had the best stealth mechanics of any game in years. (in addition to excellent graphics, animations, theme, haikus, replayability, and controls)

Well just because - for the sake of the argument - I don't fancy fps games as a general, thus don't like counter-strike, I still know it is good in it's genre and not overrated by the masses.

So yeah I don't agree with your view on what being overrated means. The same way I don't agree with many others who say Diablo 3 is overrated. It's not and people generally acclaimed that it wasn't good, so there is nothing overrating about it. Moving on..

I'd say FC3 since it doesn't look very interesting, but I haven't actually played it myself. Dota2 is a very good possibility as bobofatt said, but I really think I have to go with Diablo 3. It's... really bad, and even with the sh*tstorm the internet threw up, it's still (kinda) alive and running an 88 on metacritic.

As far as all time goes... I hate to say it, since it's my single favorite RPG, but FF7. It was a solid game for its time, but it wasn't the best even then. Now, it just kinda pales.

There are three ways to live each moment of your life: 3.Being Ignorant and Apathetic ("i don't know and i don't care"). 2.Being Spiteful (angry). 1.Being Wonderful (appreciating the beauty).

Don't you dare call ignorance the same as apathy. I'm apathetic, yet I'm 100% not ignorant. Please try to view things from a different perspective before you say something that might hurt someone. Enjoying life isn't a choice either, it's just the brain chemicals that determine how you feel, for example: depression isn't a choice.

I think he meant ignorance equates to apathy because someone who is apathetic will experience less and thus remain more ignorant.

Or I'm wrong and he just doesn't know what the two words mean.

Comment has been collapsed.

What i meant to say is that, ignorance and apathy spring from the same attitude sometimes, the phlegmatic temperament towards what's experienced. Ignorance and Apathy together are: "i don't know and i don't care". You see, "I don't know" is ok by itself, but linked to "I don't even care" is destructive. There, i modified the original post to be more explicit.

Blowjobs are twenty one time or a daily subscription fee. ex is even worse, you have to subscribe and buy one time DLCs for your subscription! It is a scam, I am sure. And no matter what you do, eventually you will reach the inevitable game over screen. That DLC is the most expensive. 20 grand for the coffin burial? Five for the cremation dlc?

Not a big surprise. It's 6-8hrs long game, with no replayablity and forgettable multiplayer. It's one of the worst values for AAA prices, I've seen in years. Especially, that as a game - it wasn't even all that entertaining.
It's good that there even is some multiplayer and dumb achievements (which add at least some replayablity to the game), because without them, I'd have problems recommending this game even for 5€ price tag.

Mediocre shooter with an interesting story... good experience, but not really something that I'd call a good game.

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I haven't finished it yet, but I think I'm near the end at around 6.5 hours. Unlocking the FUBAR difficulty and making different choices will warrant a second playthrough for me, and of course the achievements will probably boost game time to around 10-12 hours.

The multiplayer is garbage (haven't even tried it because the single player development team expressed how horrified they were with the multiplayer). I think that a full retail price isn't worth it, but half price would definitely be worth it for me. It's such a nice break from the standard shooters out there that always fuck up the story and characters. The gameplay is the weakest element but it's still fun! I'm not even a big fan of third person shooters and yet I was impressed with Spec Ops, it gave me a unique feeling compared with most games I've spent more money on.

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Despite all odds, FUBAR killed the game even more for me - difficulty clearly shows, the game wasn't designed with it in mind and that it may have even been added in the last few days of developement without proper play-testing. I'd recommend avoiding this difficulty.

The choices in game add a nice illusion of freedom, but sadly - aside for one of two right at the end, they are meaningless and don't affect much... they especially do not affect the ending.
