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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
