don't get me wrong, i did like Gow 4 and i did like TLOU, but they are too damn overrated, they get praised for the simplest things, i just don't get why people liked TLOU's story even though it is a generic Hollywood zombie movie story but with good acting and yet you see it gets mentioned as one of the best stories in gaming
God of war 4 has an amazing combat system and that i cannot deny, but the lack of bosses, lack of large monsters, the long and boring travelling and the repetitive enemy encounters with no variety in their design which reminds me of Nioh, makes it not worth the scores it got, for a game that got 94MC in this generation it should be a true masterpiece like BOTW or Witcher 3
take Hellblade for an example, it is probably one of the worst games i have ever played, boring as fuck, repetitive as fuck, frustrating as fuck, and yet it gets praised
Horizon is almost overrated, it got 89MC which is a little too high for a Far Cry clone and yet people call it one of the best open world games along side Witcher 3 and BOTW, in my opnion Horizon should have a 84MC, it's a good game, but not that good
lets talk about Nier since it's on your profile, it scored 88MC and people call it's world beautiful and they enjoy the quests, What the actual fuck ?? the world is as empty as MGS V and as ugly as a ps2 game and the quests are as horrible as FFXV's, how the fuck did this game gets praised ?
however not all sony exclusives become overrated, only the hyped ones, look at Yakuza series, it gets 80-85MC, even though Yakuza 0 story is better than everything ND and Santa monica did in their whole career combined and yet you don't see it gets praised, and that's an underrated game, Yakuza series deserved more but sony fans only care about generic bullshit
the next overrated game will be Spiderman, sure it won't score as high as GOW 4, but it will definitely get overrated, i'm guessing 88MC, and when you play the game you will see all the flaws that makes it a 70-80MC game but it will get praised no matter what because it's a sony Exclusive
and next year witness the insane scores for TLOU 2, i won't be surprised if it got 98MC even though it won't deserve it, for fucks sake they gave a walking simulator a 93MC, what do you think they'll give the sequel to TLOU ? which is probably the most overrated game of all time
