Most over-rated games feature here: http://www.games.net/features/100761_2.shtml


Here's a sample:

It's a-me, mediocrity! Mario 64 sold by the boatloads during the Nintendo 64's troubled launch, and though its presentation was impressive at the time, the core game itself really wasn't terribly compelling.

Inject hate below.

 

[CB3]

That website is Mediocre

 

[Gek54]

Is he just now playing it?

"Sure, the game's a great kid-friendly diversion, but few adults have the patience to sit through more than an hour or two of Mario 64. Sloppy controls are part of the problem--Mario is apparently incapable of walking in a straight line (no, really--try it)."

He can't walk in a straight line? :lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

"Sloppy controls are part of the problem--Mario is apparently incapable of walking in a straight line (no, really--try it)."

You've gotta be f'ckin kidding me.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Whatever domain registry is responsible for letting these morons have "games.net" should revoke it at once and give to someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about.

 

[Wario64]

Mario 64 is probably most notable for being the first game to bring tried-and-true platform gameplay to a 3D console. Sure, the game's a great kid-friendly diversion, but few adults have the patience to sit through more than an hour or two of Mario 64. Sloppy controls are part of the problem--Mario is apparently incapable of walking in a straight line (no, really--try it). In the end, it's time for Nintendo to face reality: platform games, as we know them, are dead. Next!

haha, what.

 

[MomoPufflet]

[Mashing]

You know I wasn't going to dignify that tripe with a reponse but stating he can't walk in a straight line is just fucking hilarious.

 

[fugimax]

Holy wtf wow.

This guy is obviously looking for attention. Denying what Mario 64 was, and is, is just...holy wtf wow.

 

[ManaByte]

hahah looks like he was messing around with the analog stick when he turned on the N64 so it isn't centered.

retard.

 

[Ristamar]

"Rogan???"

this is his/her top 10 list of overrated games

10. Half Life 2
9. Duke Nukem 3d
8. Halo
7. Jade Empire
6. MGS2
5. Doom 3
4. Gran Turismo 4
3. Mario64
2. Tomb Raider
1. GTA:SA

IDG Entertainment Online Network:

* GamePro.com
* Games.net
* GamerHelp.com
* GameStar.com
* BlogFaction.com

So basically this is GamePro.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

You can say a lot of things about Mario 64, but saying it has bad controls isn't one of them. Somebody point me in the direction of a 3-D game that controlled better during the same time frame. Tomb Raider? Ha.

 

[SolidSnakex]

"And for the record, Vice City easily stands as the best, most innovative installment in the series. Vice City is a true classic; San Andreas is just more, more, more set to a corporate soundtrack."

What? This is the first time i've ever heard anyone call VC the most original game in the GTA3 series. It's usually GTA3 or SA, VC is seen as the retread.

 

[Moose]

And the first Halo is overrated, but Halo 2 is "the true masterpiece" :lol

 

[Sanjuro]

I read the previous 5.

I love how he hates Halo 1's single player and says the multiplayer salvages it, yet praises Halo 2 as a masterpiece while basically saying the single player isn't as good....

This guy can easily be nominated for douche of the year award.

you know....except for GTA, I don't really disagree. I don't dislike a lot of those games, but most are definitely overrated. I'd put GT4 The Bar Lowering Simulator higher.

 

[Mashing]

Obviously this is just some idiot going against the grain to get hits on his website or get a rise out of people.

He's failed miserably.

 

[SomeDude]

It's great when game websites review games that were made nearly a decade ago.

apparantly a memorable 80's soundtrack transcends innovation

It's great when game websites review games that were made nearly a deade ago.

it's also great when people don't bother to click on links! this is a top 10 overrated list

IAWTP.

He's probably succeeded actually.

Doesn't mean he's not a douche.

 

[jgkspsx]

Well, it is overrated. Besides, 3D platformers are a dead end for the genre. Everything will eventually turn into friggin adventure games.

 

[Ristamar]

He's probably succeeded actually.

Doesn't mean he's not a douche.

True on both counts.

 

[M3wThr33]

Wow. He bitches about Duke Nukem 3D being overrated because the two episodes you had to buy weren't as good as the first.
He didn't even mention multiplayer or user-made levels.

 

[VerTiGo]

Super Mario 64 ... greatest game ever. I'm not worthy.

 

[Borys]

Mario 64 is anything but overrated. Halo 1 on the other hand...

Oh he is an elitist nuff said really....

 

[FiRez]

Hey did you know Mario 64 is mediocre?

Yes, and what the fuck is H:CE doing in that list?

 

[Moose]

Yes, and what the fuck is H:CE doing in that list?

LAWL FiRez....

wait, you're...not... joking?

 

[Ristamar]

I didn't even know GT4 was so highly vaunted that it could actually make an overrated list.

 

[Moose]

Yeah, I thought GT4 was accepted as GT3.5?

 

[Flo_Evans]

I hated mario64. Of course I didn't really like any mario game at all. It controls really well, and the graphics where amazing at the time, but I could never get into it.

SO SUE ME

 

[FiRez]

LAWL FiRez....

wait, you're...not... joking?

No, but my timing failed to counter the borys post

 

[WordAssassin]

"Sure, the game's a great kid-friendly diversion, but few adults have the patience to sit through more than an hour or two of Mario 64.

That's interesting, because my dad has 118 stars on his save file. :|

 

[Yoshi]

Putting Mario 64 on this list disqualifies the maker of the list absolutely. Only drunk people aren't capable of going straight in Mario 64 .

Some people just like being whiny nerds. Mario 64 is pretty undeniable -- even on the DS. And he's smoking crack, talking about MGS2. Hell, I think that game is underrated -- everyone I know makes fun of it and it's totally my fave in the series.

 

[Oblivion]

Damn, this guy's a tool. Mario 64 had it's problems, but all the praise it got was highly deserving.

Halo and GTA on the other hand, I'll agree with him.

 

[Reilly]

I actually re-played Mario64 about a month ago. I know when it came out it was really awesome. Going back and playing it now though, I realized the controls are horrible, it has no depth and no story.

 

[Tarazet]

you know....except for GTA, I don't really disagree. I don't dislike a lot of those games, but most are definitely overrated. I'd put GT4 The Bar Lowering Simulator higher.

GT4 is my biggest disappointment ever, but the guy also has the nerve to bash GT3, which is still one of the best racing games out there. In all, this list strongly suggests that the author has been playing video games for two years or less. What about old and good but amazingly over-revered games like Snatcher or NiGHTS?

 

[Oblivion]

Going back and playing it now though, I realized the controls are horrible, it has no depth and no story.

....

The controls were just fine. The camera angles are what sucked. And no story? Mario games have NEVER been driven by story! And they don't need to be. They're awesome that way.

 

[aparisi2274]

I agree with that author of that list...

I cant run straight in Super Mario 64 either......

















well thats on the DS version... on the N64 I could walk a tightrope with that precision analog stick.

Someone find this guy and lynch him, or get him laid, whichever is easier...

 

[Mallrat83]

These guys are fucking idiots. Read the Ten Mario Sellout Moments. He has the nerve to include Smash Bros, Mario's appearance as the ref in Punch Out, and the sole fact he wears his cap sideways on the Mario Paint box. :lol

 

[Stinkles]

That's interesting, because my dad has 118 stars on his save file. :|

Are you adopted? Because if he doesn't have 120, he's gay.
