Five Games That Were Overrated

Here are five games that, in the author's opinion , garnered way too much praise.

As an uncharted fan I have to admit that Uncharted 3 was a bit overrated. The team behind The Last of Us played a big role in Uncharted 2 and its evident how greatly it affected the series as they were busy creating the masterpiece of the game. Hopefully they do go back and play a big role in Uncharted 4 because I'm still craving for an installment better than Among Thieves. I'm surprise that GTA IV isn't on the list. In no way does that game deserve a 98 on metacritic. That alone just prove how it got an easy slide just for the brand name.

Uncharted 3 is nowhere near as good as number 2, number 2 really set the bar high

and that's why it won Game of the Year in 2009. Still one of my all time favorite games.

Hipster: I will write an article about great games and claim how overhyped they are because that will make it seem like I am "in the know" about gaming and gaming culture.

*** The team behind The Last of Us played a big role in Uncharted 2 and its evident how greatly it affected the series as they were busy creating the masterpiece of the game ***

I don't think thats true. Sony only spilt the team into two once Uncharted 3 began production. I think they even hired more people for the second team when they expanded so I don't think many people from the Uncharted team were on the Last of Us team. I think they are still all together because I know for a fact the creative director on that team is Amy Hennig.

The way I see it is that they spent too much time on Nathan and Sully's relationship...now that would be grand if there wasn't many other characters in the game but because you had Chloe, Elena, Cutter and Marlowe, you didn't feel like they gave each character enough time. I feel like they should of replaced Chloe with Elena and didn't make it so her and Drake broke up but were working together and they manage to get into Yemen because of Elena's "contacts" not Elena herself...you can see even now your trimming the fat off the characters and focusing more on the Sully and Nate relationship. That whole cutscene of Nathan and Elena finally meeting each other while they get off the plane...all of that during the time that took place could of been replaced with another flashback or a Nathan/Sully moment but that could only happen if they had cut Chloe out of the picture. It just felt she was there for fan service then what the story needed. Once they got to Yemen it would just be Nathan and Sully since Elena would arranged her contact to meet Drake while she would stay with Cutter. This means that when we get to Yemen it's just Sully and Drake and the story can focus on those two without having distractions

I really wanted to find out some of the missing gaps on Drakes and Elenas relationship but I guess that can be saved for Uncharted 4. I really hope Sully takes a back seat and you see Nathan and Elena going off on an adventure together from the start where all the flashbacks are what happened since the end of Drakes Fortine and what their wedding was like...maybe how she knows Cutter for example

Besides I think another main problem was they spent too much time on the multiplayer. In Uncharted 2 they just threw it in their...it was simple and because of this it became popular. No loadouts, no upgradable over powered perks, no weapon mods, it was very balanced pre the 1.5 update. Then Uncharted 3 comes along with all this "every other multiplayer" changes and it just ruined it. The only main thing which should of been focused on in the online was the customization and even weapon customization but instead of weapon mods you had design parts to make your guns look unique.

I am sorry but you are mistaken. Neil Druckman and Bruce Straley were vital to Uncharted 2's success and after that game finished they went to work on The Last of Us.

I know this guy is gonna get a lot if hate just for the picture alone but,i agree with him when he said uncharted 3 is overrated,it just wasnt as good as two,and the multiplayer wasnt as good as 2 either,now thats not to say hey uncharted 3 was a bad game,but its just saying that uncharted 2 was very good, and 3 had a tough act to follow.

dafauq ?!

Trolling article ! Uncharted 3, Skyrim and MGS3 ??! REALLY ?!!

The Last Of Us = waiiy overRated

[snipab8t]

The most overrated game of the generation was hands down Bioshock 1. This game was good but god damn anyone would think it cured cancer or something by the way reviewers praise it.

[Hellsvacancy]

Resident Evil 5, I dont understand why anybody likes it, it was dreadful in my eyes

[fsfsxii]

MGS??
Seriously? What really boggles my mind is people who jump straight to number 4 and whine about the game being cut-scene-ish and understand NOTHING about the MGS universe

[TheOxygenic]

Oh I understand about the MGS universe a plenty. It's merely that the game has a hard time getting across what it needs to say without being obtrusive and distracting to the player.
