Games that you feel do not deserve the press that they recieve.

[Nelson McCulloch]

Whether it is good press or bad press, some games just don't deserve the phrase (or criticism) that they get.

So what are some games that you think don't deserve the press that they have received?

 

[Javarock]

Dynasty Warriors, As long as it has edit mode

 

[Bags159]

Call of Duty X and Halo X.

 

[Easton Dark]

The Kane and Lynch series doesn't even deserve the AWFUL reviews it gets.

It deserves to be forgotten.

 

[IronicBeet]

Prepare for about a million "Call of Duty and Halo" responses.

OT: Dragon Age 2. Not saying it's a bad game by any means, but all the reviews it gets are just a little too excited about it.

 

[Blind Sight]

Impossible Creatures, because it basically received no press. And this is a game where you can make freaking tiger scorpions and your base was a flying train.

 

[Javarock]

Dynasty Warriors, As long as it has edit mode

oh its fun for sure. But all the negativity about it is technically true (facing facts). Nevertheless i do intend to buy various future editions of the game because i thoroughly enjoy the madness.

Same... I Can agree. Normally you can buy any in the seris ( I Useally buy one for every three realses) And enjoy the updates....

Still good way to pass time.

The only mainstream press I've ever seen about World of Warcraft has been the sales numbers. By the way, what is a cinematic RPG?

Brutal Legend didn't deserve the criticism of its stage battles, because the gameplay of them was not what was at fault - it was the explanation of that gameplay. If you're ignoring 3/4 of a game's mechanics, then it probably will seem shallow - but that's not to say that those mechanics aren't there. Just that the game doesn't make enough (any) effort to make you use them.

Dragon Age for me gets it's praises sung way too much. It was awful.

While the idea of an MMORPG that doesn't run off the Everquest formula sounds interesting, the word "cinematic" in reference to games almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost always means boring.

Edit: On topic, Dragon Age: Origins. It was the most convoluted boring irritating bland piece of crap I've played since Morrowind, without having ANY of Morrowind's redeeming features.

 

[TingaWinga]

Call of Duty All of them except for CoD4 were hugely over publicized however

You could argue that Duke Nukem was over publicised as it has finally decided it is actually coming out after countless "set-backs"

 

[Veldel]

Mass Effect Series its overrated IMO
