The most overrated games of 2017 - Quarter to Three

Tom Chick - "Overrated is a loaded term. It looks good in a headline. It’s often used for no purpose other than to goad a reaction. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. When I call a game overrated, I don’t mean it’s bad, that the reviews were wrong, that the people who liked it were dopes, or even that I didn’t like it. It just means I’m surprised more people weren’t more critical, that the conversation wasn’t more often about ways the game could have been better."

Mostly agre with the list, just that I think Zelda should have been there instead of Mario.

joab7772682d ago

I think this is a list that in a round about way says that Zelda is GotY, yeah, another GotY award for Zelda. I'm being facetious!

danitanzo22682d ago

It’s harder for me to see why people like mario so much though...

WickedLester2682d ago

Agreed 100%. Good game, but not perfect 10's, unanimous GOTY good.

ChickenOfTheCaveMan2682d ago

I agree, I played it for an hour and I was like, this is supposed to be GOTY, no thank you.

HZD overrated??? 100% Disagree. IMHO.

CaptainObvious8782682d ago

This fool is obviously confusing zelda with horizon.

Damthatsword2682d ago

naah he probably confused it with the B movie oscar bait trash naughty dog likes to pump out alot.

Enturax2682d ago

Well, I HEARD (didn't play the game) that it has nothing original to offer besides nice graphics.

Eltortugagames2682d ago

I liked it a lot but can’t get behind the combat just wasn’t fun combat imo.

Ilovetheps52682d ago

I honestly think that Horizon is overrated. Just beat it today. Story was decent. But I just did not like the combat for it. It just didn't meet my expectations after hearing so much about how great the game was. Not a bad game, but not amazing like everyone made it out to be.

Harry potter could be a great game to use it. The students and the enemies could each have their own seperate tree.

Michiel198941d ago

then kill em and they come back? seems fitting for the universe

mkis00741d ago

I mean you didn't actually kill the orcs that came back in shadow...orcs don't have that power in the LOTR universe. Meanwhile you do kill enemies (human and beast) in hogwarts legacy.

No, you would defeat them and they would come back.

jznrpg41d ago

It was a good idea but with of without it you need to make a good game first

RaidenBlack41d ago

Yep,
Instead of WW, WB could've assigned Monolith for a current gen FEAR game that could've used the Nemesis system as its base. But alas. The WB IP is what supposedly killed them.
Hope Rocksteady gets to use Nemesis in their next Batman 1P game.

Angyobangyo41d ago

Warner bros is so full of it. Usually corporations cry about piracy but this was simply due to the second hand market and they don’t t like that.

Chocoburger41d ago

It was a neat idea, but the game is packed with a lot of repetitive filler grindy stuff, clearly designed to make the game last longer. The sequel went overboard, with the filler as well, in order to nudge players towards micro-trash-actions, which were eventually dropped.

NoDamage41d ago

Thats why I couldn't get into the sequel even though I really liked the first one and so wanted to like the 2nd. Unfortunately twas not meant to be.

Sony Announces Ghost of Tsushima Anime, Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn Movies

Sony is hosting its press conference at the start of CES 2025 in Las Vegas. As usual, PlayStation took the spotlight during the presentation, but not in the way you'd expect.

I can’t even imagine a helldivers 2 movie.
Hopefully they do it good

Cacabunga118d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla118d ago

Yeah but with terminator style bots and the Illuminate. More potential imo.

mkis007118d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit118d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24118d ago

I was about to say, they can just copy Starship Troopers homework and change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice.

SeTTriP117d ago

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01119d ago

Lmao, sony making more shows, films, and remasters this generation.

Lightning77119d ago

Yet let's ignore Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, wolverine and Santa Monica's New IP.

Yep all TV shows and remasters alright.....

Hereandthere118d ago

Ghost of Yotei looks like a ps 4 pro game at best, intergalactic only showed 4 seconds of in game footage, despite being in development for more than 4 years, wolverine might be good, Santa Monica's New IP was just for you to fill space and cover for sonys lack of 1st party games.

DarXyde118d ago

Remasters aren't games?

Didn't realize the same folks making games are also making films and shows (which Sony actually has been making before games, but ok).

Silly comment aside , Ghost of Tsushima as an anime sounds grand. Don't care too much about Horizon or Helldivers media, but it sounds cool to get more Jin.

Army_of_Darkness118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

You do realize Sony has a completely separate movies and tv series division right? They are simply catching on and actually taking advantage of their popular gaming ips

Redemption-64118d ago

Naaaaa, you are supposed to pretend they don't have a completely separate movie/TV division

Lightning77118d ago

@Here uh huh Right watch Ghost Of Yotei get the highest score on meta this year. ND doesn't miss so I expect Intergalactic to be a damn near Master piece, insomniac making Wolverine so you know they'll knock it out of the park. Santa Monica will probably announce their new IP this year and it'll be epic. It's about track record and all these studios have great track records. You wanna argue facts go ahead I'll win.

Lightning77119d ago

I was hoping for live action Ghost but an anime will be just fine.

Grilla118d ago

Last I heard the guy that made the John Wick movies was working on it.

Lightning77118d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot118d ago

I really hope they get the guy who played Jinn to play him in the film.

Elda118d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8118d ago

out of all the titles they could have chosen, those 3 could actually make decent movies.

-Foxtrot118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

They’ve tried a Horizon series and it fell apart, what makes them think a film is going to work with a shorter run time.

I was hoping the GoT series would focus on Jinn after the main game.

S2Killinit118d ago

Im not sure about the show or why it allegedly fell apart, but the story in Horizon is pretty cool. I can see people enjoying it.

Michiel1989116d ago

they probably recorded some footage for it and now want to make a quick buck out of the remnants. You know what they say: fail once, rip your audience off.
