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

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
