I'd have to go with these 4 games (They're all pretty good games, it's just that the noted issues I had really put me off):

Metroid Prime - Too much backtracking, really dull, lifeless world, and a real lack of innovation.

Ninja Gaiden - Too much trial and error gameplay, a broken save system (saving anywhere should be an option), and derivative

gameplay.

Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind - Bland world, broken combat system, and too much reading.

Theres only 3 games there!

Metroid: They aint as good a they used to be on NES and SNES yeah? :D

Ok the future of video games is 3d, but some games arent ready for that move!

Castlevania is another awesome 2d game but when it wetn 3d it lost something thats 4 sure!

WTF YOU POSTED THE EXACT SAME THREAD ON BOOST CRUISING?

Is this the new rage for marketers or something?

Go away.

never played ninja gaiden but the other two are damn good games.......innovative and ahead of their time. I question your merit as a critic, I am a developer and probably know a timy bit more than the average Joe, but this is the interweb and everyones a keyboard warrior.

I would say in the past few years that Half Life 2 was way overated.

It did nothing new what so ever except for some shitty phsyics puzzles and that was it.

Chronicles of Riddick was a million times better, in terms of combat (espicially hand to hand) atmosphere, and story.

At odds with what has been said above, I quite enjoyed:

GTA: Vice city

GTA: SA

Halflife 2 (I thought was an excellent game)

Metal Gear solid (including Sons of liberty & snake eater)

I think some people expect too much. Or if a game is given a really good rap and talked about endlessly, then they expect it to be more than it is.

IMO My least favourite game I've bought this year is:

Burnout Revenge.

I thought Burnout 3 takedown was a great game, so I bought revenge when it came out. Don't get me wrong, I think its a good game, it just looses something that takedown had though.

Most overrated game - Tic Tac Toe

Crap graphics

Not enough freedom

Too short

Talking about crappest games, not your inadequacies in the bedroom :happy:

Final Fantasy 8.... my fav game series ever, and they f**ked this one bad... Luckily FFX made up for it.

The problem with alot of overated supposedly A grade games is the hype.

Developers release too much information or beta demos and the fun is over before it starts.

If a game can keep you playing for around 2 weeks of solid after work/school gameplay, then in my book it is a good game.

It has not only driven you to play the game, it has kept you interested and determined to complete the adventure.

Admittedly there are games out there that are designed to be a casual experience, such as singstar, or sports games, but they have a different entertainment value.

Hell half-life 2, took me 24 hours to complete, but no I dont think its overrated, Ive gone back through the game several times, as I enjoyed it so much.

I think you can tell most games stink within the first hour of gameplay....Although theres the exception of games that are rushed to be completed and the story cut short....ala Turok Evolution (a game that was meant to save the series, but failed misserably)

While Im thinking about it...Mafia for PC was a fracking amazing game

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
