animal crossing, under rated? wait, what?

PecanBlue · 07/09/2010, 04:09 pm

Not to mention Wind Waker and Fatal Frame. Also, come on man there are loads of horrible games out there that nobody has even heard of, Sonic 06 is way past the (well-deserved) overrated hate.

roberttitus · 07/09/2010, 04:15 pm

It is called an opinion.

I am going on MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. I offered you an opportunity to give yours as well... so if you disagree, give your own example instead of just saying that I'm wrong.

I want to know your opinions on the subjects. That is the point of the thread.

Remolay · 07/09/2010, 04:15 pm

Sonic '06 deserved it. They had the whole team working on it.

ET had what, 5 people working on it for like a week.
I still thinks it's fun.

Comedy Movies:
Overrated: Napoleon Dynamite - Is still heralded as the best movie ever

Underrated: UHF - The only person who gave it a good review apologized for giving it said review.

Its not like I said they suck, I just said that they are highly overrated. They are put on a pedestal & in many people's minds they are put on it so high that it is to the point that everything sucks by comparison to them... which is both untrue & unfair.

ALSO....

I thought of that one too... I just didn't feel like finding more pics at the time LOL

roberttitus · 07/10/2010, 05:09 pm

Another one I wanted to do but was too lazy to bother with at the time

Action RPG Franchise

Over- Kingdom Hearts

Under- The Tales Series

DoctorCello · 07/10/2010, 05:51 pm

EDIT: Seriously though, I don't see much of a point in this thread other than to troll and/or be pretentious for the sake of being pretentious. I would like to hear why you think Street Fighter is overrated and King of Fighters is underrated, though. I like both series, although in terms of latest inputs, SSFIV is definitely faaar better than KoF12.

EDIT2: And I wouldn't really consider the Tales games Action RPGs either, at least not to the same extent that Kingdom Hearts is.

roberttitus · 07/10/2010, 07:01 pm

I can't do anything on this damn forum without being called a troll...
People wonder why I'm so angry all the time... well look at DoctorCello's post. I mean how is this any different from the countless other threads where people talk about underrated things? I just combined them all into a thread that I thought might be fun for people.

I'm truly sorry if you are offended by my posts, but at the same time I 'm willing to bet that YOU aren't sorry for starting this thread
