Top 10 list of most overrated video game franchises[views:30910][posts:147]_____________________________________ [Dec 27,2012 4:03pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Aril, you are spot on with your list. Couldn't agree more. Even though FFX and FF12 were good but not nearly as good as some of the prior ones, those annoying elements you mentioned definitely ticked me off when I was playing them. It's like why couldn't they just not do that? 7 had a relatively dark atmosphere for a lot of it and I was definitely more attracted to that than the fucking gay ass haircuts and voices they have in the newest ones WHICH ARE INTOLERABLE AT THIS POINT. SERIES RUINED BY FAGGOTRY. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 27,2012 4:10pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Gonna throw Dragon Quest out there. Game has always looked sooo gay! |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 27,2012 4:12pm - the_reverend ""] Why cause you can just go to the square where the dragon Armor is without talking to the king? |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 9:11am - Boozegood ""] Please explain what CS 1.6 has to do with CoD besides the fact they are both FPSers with modern weapons? "Release the same game with slightly different elements, etc. etc." completely disregards the fact that they release an entire new single player campaign with each release. I'm no CoD fan-boy by a long-shot, by any means; it just sounds like you are hating to hate. You are probably the type that would hate SF3FS or SF4 because 'NOTHING IS BETTER THEN SF2!' or something. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 9:19am - arilliusbm ""] It's simple, CS 1.6 set the standard for team-based FPS wargaming. It also was (and still is) one of the more fun online games to play whereas CoD is mediocre, yet rehashed with every release. I enjoyed playing CoD online, but it's not memorable and lasting. The one thing CoD has is its realism and single player campaign missions. But really, why emulate reality? Video games are supposed to be games, and I think companies these days try too hard to emulate reality, mostly in the FPS genre, as it is first-person perspective. |

I understand that about 1.6, but it's still very, very different almost to the point of being a bad comparison to CoD in my opinion. 1.6 is an all time classic as well; so of course it's 'better' then CoD. Also CoD is very, very (very...very, very) far away from reality, haha. Also CoD has released some of the ultimate mega-best FPSes of all-time, such as CoD2. |

And yes, I believe a lot of follow up games aren't as good as the original. It's not in every case, but just because a game is newer with better graphics doesn't mean it's better. It's like comparing a 1940s movie to something today. Sure, the technique and technology has improved, but that doesn't mean the movie is better. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 9:26am - arilliusbm ""] They still have a long way to go, but don't you see how they try to make it realistic wuth each release? All the new FPS game engines model themselves after reality. I'd say in 10 years, we may not even be able to tell the difference. |

They have an unlimited budget and keep creating the same kind of game over and over and over. I don't really make much sense though considering all I play is TFC. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 28,2012 10:41am - Yeti ""] they need to make a Star Wars: Battlefront that plays like CoD. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 12:59pm - AndrewBastard ""] agreed so hard^^ |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:01pm - AndrewFagtard ""] of course you are hard.. |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:04pm - AndrewFagtard ""] go on.. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:07pm - Randy_Marsh ""] If they made a star wars COD style...only ONE person can be boba fett at a time...like in goldeneye |

I've never played it, but I am pretty sure the game Star Wars: Republic Commando was similar to call of duty. They were going to make Battlefront 3, but I read that it was cancelled. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:29pm - givemeedtilimdead ""] Also, A new Star Wars game that actually involves flying a spaceship would be nice. Haven't seen one of those for a while... |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:30pm - arilliusbm ""] The Lego Star Wars games have flying parts. And YES, those games are amazing. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:30pm - AndrewBastard ""] a star wars game done Bethesda / Skyrim style (ie dark and not cartoony/kiddy) in a completely OPEN world where you can travel between planets and each planet is a new huge map to explore etc would be so fucking epic. Ross and I have wet dreamed over this idea many a time. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:35pm - AndrewBastard ""] i dont want it MMO |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:37pm - arilliusbm ""] Just sayin'. Kind of similar to the way you described it. It was fun, but I hate MMORPGs. I ended up getting banned from a server for disrupting a "wedding."shit was whack. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:37pm - givemeedtilimdead ""] arilliusbm said:The Lego Star Wars games have flying parts. True, but I believe they should make a new game along the lines of TIE FIGHTER, that is purely space combat. Perhaps there is just not enough interest in that sort of game anymore, or they probably would have already made it. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 28,2012 1:37pm - arilliusbm ""] I agree,,that would be awesome. |

Then you realize five seconds later you can't do shit as King, and no one lets you leave the castle. So you have to tuck your tail between your legs and ask the King to be the King again, and you can almost hear him saying, stupid khed, why do you think I gave it up so easily, SHIT'S BORING. Question For The Ages: Who would win a fight between a slime and an imp? Or would the fight continue endlessly? |
