There has never been a more overrated game

There has never been a more overrated game.

What about [your favorite game]?

Last of us and RDR still exist.

Hot take incoming

Breath of the Wild deseeves every bit of praise it gets

Man you are STILL mad about BotW ?

Get a job kid and stop shitposting

One of the most overrated games of the last generation is the reason Japanese devs are falling for the open world meme.

Breath of the Wild reminds me more of Dragon's Dogma than Skyrim.

Sorry OP, about 50 hours in and this is the best 3D LoZ and every bit as good as shitty journos say it is.

It's the game I imagined Zelda would be like far in the future while I was playing LttP as a kid.

That may be so but it's obvious Skyrim is the reason BoTW is open world. They're even porting it to the Switch.

GTA IV
Half Life 2

pic related is how I currently feel about the game lineup in 2017. Zelda isn't even close to being GOTY.

How dare you compare this trash to Dragon's Dogma. Dragon's Dogma had great combat, unlike Shit of the Wild.

OoT.

...

has anybody cooked a meal during a boss fight?
that would be kinda funny, I didn't have a flint so I couldn't do it though =(

GTA IV is still better than V.

So much salt.

The Witcher 3

Undertale, perhaps. People saying GTA are dead wrong.

Why do you think Mario Kart is that bad?

Bloodborne

How the fuck is BotW below average to you? It even follows your shitty design philosophies

Sorry but nah, this game is legit amazing. I'm loving every minute of it.

>why do you think Mario Kart is that bad

A few reasons actually:

>it's an esport
>it has a terrible singleplayer
>it has way too much DLC (wiiU version)
>it's a several year old port that's being sold at full price (Switch) with DLC that should've been in the game in the first place)

Overall, it's a cluttered mess of a game.

It fails in way too many categories. it can't even maintain 30 FPS, no remappable controls, you can't use the gamepad on the WiiU version, it's too casual, hard mode is locked behind DLC, theres disgusting sex fanservice with the great fairies (and too many waifu threads about red fish bitch).

It too is a resounding mess of a game. I put it even lower just because of all of the false praise it was getting, as I never trust a game journalist.

Nope. It's the greatest game of all time.

>google zangeki warp
>it's a shitty indie shoot em up
Stop being a hipster

wow those are some shallow and weird criticisms

>ubisoft makes a game
>meh, 6/10

>nintendo makes an ubisoft game
>10/10 BEST GAME EVER

Nigger I don't give a shit about Zelda, but they're all trash compared to Dragon's Dogma.

oh I didn't see
>take points off for being popular with gaming journalists
You're not even hiding it

If game journos have been wrong about every single game ever released since the late 00's, what makes you think they're suddenly right this time? Did you forget who nominated games like Dragon Age: Inquisition as E3's best game of the year? Or the whole Mass Effect 3 controversy, or articles outright claiming how they're attempting to push agendas, like games with less gameplay?

You can call my criticisms weird if you want, but I've yet to see anyone dispute why a game shouldn't be able to hold up under the merit of its gameplay alone.

>Listing games that aren't even out yet as bad
That takes a special kind of retard

Game journos haven't been wrong about every game though, there are plenty of good games that got scores that reflected that, hell even your second highest ranked game got good reviews.
Also
>takes points off for games being unreleased
Are you literally expecting devs to literally just release their games with no announcement beforehand?

le childrens game

>"but I've yet to see anyone dispute why a game shouldn't be able to hold up under the merit of its gameplay alone"

>criticises mario kart for being an esport

I couldn't give a shit about the opinions of games journalists, I'm just observing that your criticisms are bizzare and ironically not in line with that statement of yours.

So does anyone else think that the media circus purposely gave the game a 100/100 rating to try and bait people into reading the review hoping they'd be the only ones to do it? Nintendo don't seem savvy enough to actually bribe anyone, and essentially using a clickbait score is the only explanation I have for reviewers overlooking flaws they admit exist in the game in their review to score it perfectly.

"And despite the stellar story and the absolutely fantastic visuals (aside from some framerate issues on the Switch)," Still gave it 100/100.

It's heavy bait right?

Its actually pretty impressive you manage to find some shitty indie game on Steam with robots every year.

all games are children's games, this is a moot argument

Would you risk your reputation as a "journalist" by giving BotW less than a 9.8 out of 10?

I'm being cautionary about unreleased games. When you mindlessly hype them up as good,you give them an excuse to be lazy. See: No Man's Sky, Mighty Number 9, Battleborn, etc.

>hell even your second highest ranked game got good reviews.
but it wasn't GOTY worthy.

>Are you literally expecting devs to literally just release their games with no announcement beforehand?
there can be an announcement, but no marketing. If your game was good, it would spread via word of mouth, or something that doesn't involve ten billion dollars in superbowl ads.

>criticises mario kart for being an esport
It has the same problem that Splatoon has. It's a 60 dollar game that can't hold up as a singleplayer experience. Therefore it's not a good game.

This

that's not OoT

seconded

also pic related

Yeah, because it's just not a 100/100 game. Come on when you have over 30 reviews giving it 100 you can smell the bull a mile off. Anyone consumer with an ounce of sense will ignore them in favour of the review that has at least something negative to say about it.

>muh singleplayer experience
That's what bots are for, not every game needs to have a six to ten hour single player story mode, this isn't 2004

>he doesn't remember 8.8

nintendo is the tween market and the normie gamer market. you talk bad about nintendo you lose those markets

all nintendo games are children games

The Close Combat series is for children? What about Silent Hill? Do you think a child would be able to handle a cooperative ARMA session (not RP servers, which are indeed for juveniles)? Could a child play a spaceship sim effectively? What about Dirt Rally? I dunno man.

The Last of Us is up there

You mean all video games, with the exception of solitaire

>this game isn't popular, therefore it sucks

See, this is the exact same kind of mindset that makes me despise game journalism and their endless praise for AAA overhyped games.

>not every game needs to have a six to ten hour single player story
Look mate, that's not an argument when your game is sold at full price, AND you want DLC money for it. Shucks, Splatoon didn't even last 6 hours. I got through the whole campaign in about 2-3 hours. About 25 missions including bosses, several stages taking less than a minute to beat (particular certain octostriker stages). And the bosses all following the exact same "shoot ink at tentacle exactly three times" formula didn't help.

The person you are arguing this with has over 5000 hours in Terraria and hundreds of thousands in TF2. He is cripplingly autistic and determines a games value based on how much it appeals to complete spergs.

This is why you aren't paid to review games. They don't only do this shit for money from producers, they do it to maintain their web traffic. Shitting on a Zelda game looks real bad to tasteless plebs who base their gaming identity on said series.

I'd count it more as stupid publications using 100 point systems for stylistic reasons instead of an actual efficient metric. A 5/5 probably wouldn't sound as weird.

No I mean this company is for kids

Horizon

both better than this Ubisoft open world trash

Grand Theft Auto IV is sitting right over there grinning at you like a creepy fuck.

There's also Wind Waker Link, Twilight Link and Skyward Sword Link giving you the Fonzie AYYYYYYY

nope

Close Combat, ARMA, and Silent Hill are for teenagers, who are still children

No, its shit because the gameplay is shit. Every single game on the top of your faggot list every year is absolute trash. Once again, it is impressive.

Who said anything about shitting on it though? When I see 30 100s, I think there's no credibility to the content. Have you ever been on Ebay and seen a Chinese product being sold with 100 reviews written in Chinglish from users with 1 purchase, but has 5/5 reviews everywhere? Yeah, that's what this is to me.

I remember people saying Sup Forums isn't nintendogaf

That's completely untrue. Where did you hear that malarchy?

Okay bub. Those are definitely games I remember lots of teenagers my age being excited for! Get fucking serious dude lol.

Post your hours in TF2 then.

>No, its shit because the gameplay is shit.

You only say that because there's a lack of waifus to jerk off to, or "story development" for the tumblr audience.

I love how any time a game gets praised there are always people instantly rushing for sick hipster cred by going "ugh this is sooo overrated, people that like it are wrong I am smarter than you". While great, it's true that BoTW is NOT 10/10 because no game is. Skyrim, The Last of Us, Minecraft, and plenty of other games are vastly more overrated.

I meant the part about Terraria.

Yeah but everyone knows Chinese products are cheap and bad and master crafted Nintendo games are well designed and good! Docking the score, even if you mention faults in the review, would essentially be shitting on it to the average person. The average person who has been so starved for a good video game, they have placed themselves in a state of cognitive dissonance where even playing BotW, they cannot be upset over its staggering number of issues. It would literally kill them to have a Zelda release on a hot new Nintendo console be disappointing in >current year. It would cause riots.

>game is so shit you can't even try and defend it and deflect as usual
Like I said, impressive.

Post your hours in Terraria then.

>no Yakuza 0

What a terrible list.

I dunno, it just bugs me that reviews don't even seem to be as blunt as paid for, but rather just try to feed into hype. No Man's Sky got 9/10s and that was likely based on anticipation. How gross.

Bloodborne

And for the same reason too

What is GTA V ?

Because while games should have good gameplay, you can't say something is trash if literally all the other things about the product are good. Strong storyline, strong music, graphics, etc. all of those are aspects that can be good or bad. Games aren't ONLY gameplay, if that was the case we'd be playing fucking Othello or something forever

>game is so shit you can't even try and defend it and deflect as usual
What do you want me to say? It's a fun little shmup with an interesting slash gimmick that lets you slice through enemies and obstacles, creating a decently unique gameplay aspect. There's no story, so no clutter, and no disgusting waifus, so the rare discussion the game does have is filled with actual content, and not just porn dumps.

>post your hours in terraria

this should be close enough to suffice, right?

The hype is good for game journo publications. They WANT people going nuts over video games, whether they've been paid to review or not. It's all about dat CPM my dewd.

No-one actually thinks this, excellent bait my friend, maybe one day you'll get to play BotW aka game of the generation.

a better game than BotW

Overwatch
Half-Life 2
Bioshock Infinite.The holy trinity of overrated games.

Rebuttal: games can have other elements, but without gameplay itself, none of those elements matter. For example, look at a game like TLOU or The Order 1886. Note all the common positives the games have:

>they have le amazing graphix
>the story is heartfelt
>the music is so cinematic

but the gameplay is absolute garbage. And at that point, I'd rather play something like Othello.

I was picking up on this too. Imagine if DD's world was as big and content rich as BoTW's.

It has the same problem that Splatoon has. It's a 60 dollar game that can't hold up as a singleplayer experience. Therefore it's not a good game.

Again, this logic just plainly doesnt make sense. Sorry pal, youre full of nonsense.

...

I just watch a whole stream of a play through. This game is absolutely garbage.

There is literally nothing interesting to do in the open world. They spent all their time with stupid shit like the metal/lighting, the climbing and the fucking animals instead of actually making a good game.

Goddammit, this turned out to be another Hyrule Warriors fiasco

>Again, this logic just plainly doesnt make sense. Sorry pal, youre full of nonsense.

My logic goes like this: why am I paying 60 bucks for something absolutely dependent on online play and multiplayer? If you can't have a good singleplayer, your game should be no more than 20 bucks, tops.

>I just watch a whole stream

why does your personal preference dictate pricing schemes?

plenty of normies would argue exactly the opposite, and i'm afraid they outnumber you

Gta v

Weebs will never be impartial. Either a game is a 10 or a 0. Guess this one is a 10

fuck off nintenbro

>none of those elements matter.
But they do. In a product like a game, it contains graphics, it contains sound, it contains replayabilty, and it can contain a story, and said story can be told in a way that only a game can tell, such as one where your choices heavily factor into the outcome and story beats.

AJ?

>plenty of normies would argue exactly the opposite, and i'm afraid they outnumber you

They're called normies for a reason you know: they lap up anything they deem normal, at the cost of quality control.

Let's not forget that these same normies skyrocketed the Ps4 into success despite it having a laughable library.

I fucking love this game


Literally one of the best games ever made, and will always be considered that no matter how much you bitches whine.

FUCK Yeah. winning felt great in November, and it feels even better now.

>In a product like a game, it contains graphics, it contains sound, it contains replayabilty, and it can contain a story, and said story can be told in a way that only a game can tell
That means nothing if the gameplay isn't the best part, holding more importance than every other element combined.

>such as one where your choices heavily factor into the outcome and story beats.
See, without good gameplay, I can just watch multiple let's plays on youtube and get the same results. the point of a game should be to entice me to play it instead of watch it. Take Uncharted for instance. by watching it on youtube, I miss absolutely nothing. Maybe a quick time event or a loading screen, but I don't quite think I'll miss those from my """experience""".

>Implying console wars have winners and losers aside from The Big Three winning and the consumer base losing.

>OoT
>RDR
>Bloodborne
>TLoS
>Skyrim
>FF7
>Golden Eye
>MGS 2/3
>GTA 4

lmao every game on that list is shit shit shit. Video games are dead and buried, get some fucking taste.

OoT, come on man.
