What games this gen came out to you that seemed to be overrated and actually trash??

I'd say Assassins Creed games were boring and overrated. Very repetitive, bland environments and wack story.

Next up would be the Mass Effect series. My god :mindblown: what do people see in these games?? I mean ME2 was alright but god damn the acting in that game was atrocious. I rather had read it then watched the game in action because the acting was plain terrible. Playing TLOU spoiled me. ME3 was just trash period.

GTA IV. Horrible game. Horrible city, horrible gameplay.

Halo series. Nothing special. Halo 3 was great fun in MP but SP was boring as hell. I fell asleep on Reach's story mode. It took me several months to get through it. Halo 4 story mode was surprisingly not as boring because the production values increased tenfold and made for a more engrossing experience. It was forgettable though. Online was fun for like 2 months and then everyone abandoned it except for like one dude on here.

Gears series. Again another boring franchise. MP is the only thing that's good in it. SP is absolutely boring. Drab environments, chest high wall hallway shooter with lots of smoke and mirrors to make it look nicer than it is. UC games greatly exceed these games.

Last but not least, the walking dead games. OMG :mindblown: ??? How the fukk did a point and click game get so much accolades?? Did these people play the real game version of his TLOU?? THAT'S a fukking game. TWD was absolutely prosaic all in it's sense. Ellie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Clementine all the fukking wa. Lee was a cornball brotha and he just was wack.

You crazy dude. Mass Effect 1 and 2 was awesome. One of the best storytelling games this gen.

GTA IV was trash but the add on G$y Tony wasn't
Walking Dead game is amazing.

Let me guess you like Halo?

Tha Land
Uncharted Series

All graphics/presentation

Boring uninspired gameplay.


GTA IV

Outside of the main story missions the game just wasn't very fun.


Forza 4

Should have been an expansion to Forza 3

:childplease: From this point on anything you have to say that's gaming related will be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't think TLOU was out yet when most people were giving accolades to The Walking Dead game. but I'm not an expert on games like you :whoa:

I gotta say fable
Killzone
Infamous
Gta iv but not the series itself
I didnt care for halo 3 but I liked the others so I can't call it overhyped
didnt like gears 3 as much as the others but judgment was way better than people gave credit for overall it is a great series.
Uncharted 3 was a step back and uncharted 1 was ok, it was actually a little underrated if anything. Uncharted 2 is one of the best games of this generation.

The only game series that I think is over-hyped are:

Fable

Call of Duty

Also I never liked any of the Army of Two games.
