Top 5 Most Overrated Games Of The Last Decade

VideoGameDebate: "My top 5 series continues with a word in gaming that always comes under scrutiny. ‘Overrated’ is usually a term used when a series or particular game is popular which is not to your own personal taste. I’ve tried to separate my own thoughts and feelings and look at the facts when choosing this list. Did a game sell in its droves but was universally slated? Did people jump on a bandwagon? Was the game really just a steaming pile of crap? I asked myself these questions when choosing these games. Of course you’re free to be offended if one of your faves makes this list, I still love you."

Wrong on at least 4. I didn't play COD MW2.
That article is beyond shit.

Well, I've heard mixed feeling about Borderlands before. But I still am inclined to disagree, I've had some of the best co-op experiences in borderlands this gen.

It was a nice combination of FPS and RPG. I love RPG games and my best friend loves FPS. So the combo clicked quite well. It doesn't help if you are a completion though, the game can be repetitive, but our quest of loot kept things fun.

I disagree about Limbo as well. Rest, I don't really have any experiences with.

Limbo has like 3 things u can do. Jump, pull/push and press buttons. And yet it still has amazing puzzles. Its IMO the most pure videogame we have. It set out to do a goal and did it. Its not trying to be anything other than LIMBO.

borderlands is a very good, well designed game

MW2 is one of the best games in the last gen

You should get out before someone sees you

[ape007]

you have to understand that human beings are very complex individuals, it's way larger than you think, u can't classify people in "certain" groups

1- the "casual sheep CoD fan"

2-"an internet smark/hardcore that hate or pretend to hate popular stuff to please others online and look hardcore/legit"

listen kid i don't follow a certain mold or some "internet culture" or been told to like something, this mentality of hating popular stuff for the sake of it is "casual/sheep" thinking too

if i like something, I'll say it, if i don't I'll say it and quite frankly Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best games I've ever played, amazing gameplay, near perfect soundtrack/control, perhaps the best online mp in the last gen(along with CoD 4 and Bf BC2), spec ops and thrilling campaign, the series is not the same after the original IW left, that magic in the level design and in intensity is simply gone, ghosts is a freakin joke compared to MW2

u saying "You should get out before someone sees you" is a tell tale sign of low self confidence when it comes to expressing your opinions about stuff

Double post

[AnotherProGamer]

I feel that skyrim is very overrated

[Neixus]

While some people think WoW is bad, it's still the only MMO that got tight controls.
Most other mmos tries to have a realistic movement, which is why every single mmo, except wow, fails kn the PvP department.

There's a reason Cs,cod,bf and quake have popular online, it's because they have fast movement, contrary to ArmA and a few slower "shooters"

All in all, i don't like delay when i strafe Q and E in MMOs. Which every mmo seems to have, except wow

[Master-H]

GTA IV

[mogwaii]

Next thing this guy will say is tetris is the most over rated game of all time.

[spike]

Why isn't The Last Of Us on the list?

[xxShadow-Shockxx]

Because it's not overrated, halo should be on there tho.

[ajax17]

Because it's incredible

[Hicken]

Because this isn't a list of the greatest games of the last decade.

[Kivespussi]

5. Angry Birds
4. Skyrim
3. Mass effect franchise
2. CoD franchise
1. Every sports game that releases every. Single. Fucking. Year. And still top the charts.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Borderlands was decent enough for what it is.
When I think 'overrated',Bioshock infinite,Uncharted series(2 especially),ME series,GTA4&5 come to mind.

[NeoTribe]

You think uncharted 2 "especially" is overrated... ive heard people try and say number 1 and 3 were overrated but never uncharted 2. Not sure if trolling or maybe theres a piece of your brain that refuses to work properly.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Maybe the piece that powers the 'trolling' auto defense mechanism when presented with a different idea,maybe not.
Not 'trolling',I'm truly sorry if you can't understand that,it's unfortunate but some part of me really doesn't care...at all.

5 - Assasins Creed, i just find those games really dull.

4 - Skyrim, ugly game, i can't stand games that is basically grey everywhere. It's also full of glitches.

3 - Forza series - OH MY GOD, these games take repetitive to a whole new level. I played Forza 2 for ages to buy all of the cars, it's was terribly repetitive. I then started Forza 3, realised that it was going to be the same so gave up. It's the only series of games where i have actually fallen to sleep too.

2 - Minecraft, everything about the game is pointless, i don't get it at all.

1 - COD series, it's really just another FPS, nothing special at all about any of them, there never has been. They have done well to get the sheep to follow this series.

[Peter_Warrior]

I disagree on all 5. Who wrote that? A candy Crush Saga fan?

[e-p-ayeaH]

the only thing that´s overrated are the gaming media these idiots do more harm than good.
