A lot of people think this game is realy great, maybe not the people you know but ive meet lot of people who think that COD5 is better than COD4 and that it WILL be better than Modern Warfare2.AgentNein said:
Anything brought out for the Wii (Excluding Zelda because I like Zelda) has been a pile of crap...Especially Madworld.
...I would also like to make a prediction of things that are getting hyped up now and knock them down...The new Final Fantasy...Don't get me wrong I like FF but I have a feeling that this one is going to be a massive let down.

I dislike jumping on the bangwagon so I will not say Halo 3 is overrated, hell, I hardly hear praise for it now. It's the haters that talk about more than it's fans.
So, I'll say, Kingdom Hearts 2. Great game, had fun with it, but a lot of scenes I found myself cringing at the dialogue. And Sephiroth is NOT the hardest boss in the game, he just has the highest HP and is so much easier compared to his KH1 counterpart. Xaldin is.
Battlefield 1943, all my mates speak of it as though it`s the greatest multiplayer game ever,however after being lured in by a promising 2 match trial ,i`m so bored i`ve taken to doing as many laps as possible of any given island without dying. I like to call it "the gautlet" the rules are simple pick a vehicle (or you can go on foot if you wish) do as many laps as possible without dying ,my current best is 5 until some fighter took offense to my driving and hounded me for the final 3 laps of guadalcanal before crashing into me,twat
Okay, I'll tell you why some of those games are up there... Street Fighter IV is up there because of the repetition (Hell, I think all fighting games are repetitive), Assassin's Creed, because of the assassinations... those guys just won't shut up!, next Castle Crashers after you beat the game then what? You gonna try the achievements? done! now what? max lvl my character? You'll find yourself bored after a while. Next up is... Star wars force Unleashed! When I first picked this game up it was great, until I went online to find everybody saying... "Have you played SW:FU?, its so awesome you can crush people, shoot lightning at them, throw them around, and stuff!!!!11!!", and then I find myself thinking "Ok....." then off I go to play it again after I finished Sith Warrior difficulty I was bored as hell of it, Sith Lord is tough, but not impossible. Lets see.... Next is.... LOTR: Conquest! I find the little bit of light IS the rogue class, its like this.... Oh shit Sauron's here! -stab- oh... nevermind then. Skate......... Ummm.... it... it... it turned people into Skater wannabes? I just don't like the game... Dyansty warriors is overhype by one person my friend, who overhyped Mass Effect for me. So I say STFU Ace! Last, I just could never get into Killzone 1, never played Liberation, and Killzone is probably just like Killzone 1 with bigger guns, and more Nazi like hats. (I saw the scene where the main character in Killzone 1 died... OH Shit! forgot to say spoiler!).DigitalJedl said:...

Oh, and also "Ow! why a pointy stick! Well, it wasn't a criket bat, so go get a cookie from my cabinet..."
Templar was him name, salute! Okay, now that's out of the way..Darkblaven said:
LORT: Conquest...
The Rouge class basically broke the game for me. During the demo I was considering buying it until I played online...
Spawn, stab, respawn, stab, nerdragequit.
Killzone 2 is leaps and bounds better than Killzone 1, to me at least. It's worth a rent, but that's the highest recommendation I would give for you. Even if I bought the game, I love it but I hate it when people block a certain class in the lobby because they whine about how cheap it is. I.e the Assault class that comes with an RPG, and a grenade launcher. Oh he has a bit of extra health, but it's still quite easy to take him down with a few headshots.
Sigh... what happened to the good old days of Unreal Tournament. No weapon was cheap, just kill, kill, kill and have fun.
... There's a laser grid and a mine field near the cabinet, sir.
You must be joking. It's better.ottenni said:
But in all seriousness, I'm gonna throw out one I haven't seen mentioned: TF2. Not that it's a bad game...far from it. But in terms of being overrated, it takes the cake. So many people seem to worship that game, and for me it just wasn't that great.
Fallout 3. It was ok for maybe 2 or 3 months, but it got to the point where you've just done everything and everything looks the same.
Spore - Do I really need an explanation?
CoD 5 ( and the newer one when it comes out ) - Just the same old shit copy and pasted.
Halo 3 - I have been playing ALOT of Halo 3 lately but it's overrated, It has GREAT multiplayer and a shit campaign, It's mediocre at best.
Gears of war 1&2 - Generic Super soldier just like halo, Except Shit story and shit multiplayer.
Left 4 dead - OKAY! before any one flames me I just didn't like it, It got so much praise from people I decided to buy it, it was fun doing each campaign TWICE, but after that I knew where to hide and where the zombies spawned so it lost it's fun after 5 hours.
Resident Evil 5 - Played it for the achievements and I couldn't play past the 3rd level, My eyes started to bleed.
There is my list.

Half Life 2. Halo 3. These games simply aren't that great. In fact, i'm hard pressed to find anything terribly amazing about either one. They're on the same level to me. Oh, and KOFXII. Sure it looks pretty, but really, nerfing your characters and giving them a new paint job does not in fact make for compelling gameplay .
.
Well, atleast we agreed on Unreal... Oh, and I cheap out on the lasers, and mines they're just for show.
