GTA V was overhyped

Eldent Ring was overhyped

Cyberpunk 2077 is the best RPG ever.

Guys who whine about playing a female character are pussies. more games should have female only lead characters. it shouldn't matter either way.

When you say overhyped, what do you mean?

Also I don't know any males folk who complain about having to play as a woman because they are a woman. If the character is boring or poorly written I'd understand but I actually think many male game prefer to play as female characters.

This post is just a bit meh isn’t it? To say GTA V was overhyped when you were probably 12 when it released is a bit stupid. I doubt you can recall the hype from 11 years ago.

Elden Ring is only over hyped if you aren’t a souls player. As a souls player this game is a masterpiece that isn’t even finished yet.

TLOU is overrated. First game was mid and the second game is practically non-existent in my eyes. Really hope there isn't a third but it's more than likely Naughty Dog will capitalise on the success of the series as well as the TV show. I miss ND's Jak and Daxter days...

Also Minecraft sucks.

Overrated in what way? I thought it was a successfully tense game with a decent multiplayer. My issue was with how Joel is implied in the first game to be a hero. I know he lost his daughter in terrible circumstances but he is frequently over the top in adhering to a kill first ask questions later philosophy. The second game, whilst it has unrealistic storyline issues, is to be applauded for making the player realise that a killer might eventually be killed.

Gameplay was bland and story was boring. As for the second game, everything about it was terrible from the writing to the characters. As for Joel being killed, he was the only character (apart from young Ellie) who was actually somewhat likable. Then ND kills him off 5 minutes into the second game and makes you play as his killer. I feel for the bros and hoes who got attached to him.

The accuracy system in Etterna is objectively and measurably the best accuracy system of any keyboard VSRG

Videogames today are overstuffed with samey tiresome tropes that do more to engage than to entertain. Look at all the open-worlds, soulslikes and games with pretty graphics-publishers want you feeding out of familiar troughs because they make more money this way, and we're all the cattle grazing on it.

Videogames in the past were more creative and made more fun, I share your point.

It's mainly little kids who hyped GTA V up. The gameplay and storyline are mid. Elden Ring is just a series of boss fights. It's not a true RPG. Open worlds are good, but then a game alone isn't good since it's an open world.

I am a big fan of cyberpunk since launch, having sinked (or wasted) over 600 hours in it as of this point, but I wouldn't say it is a that deep of an RPG to be considered the best ever...

By what measure are you saying better? Skillwise, maybe. Toxicity as a gamer, absolutely not.

The skills, simple as that. I have talked about those the whole time. Guess that toxicity is another word for addiciton.

L opinion. The story, the gameplay, the music in TLOU are still to this day some of the best I’ve ever seen in a video game. TLOU 2 may have had a mid story (I disagree) but the gameplay was amazing and had a lot of options when approaching combat/stealth. I don’t play video games that much anymore but the only games I’m genuinely looking forward to are GTA 6 and TLOU 3
