I wouldn't say it's overrated. It's outdated more than anything, same with DE1.
Modern gamers agree that early PC 3D games haven't aged well at all.

Is OP the most overrated poster on this board? He's a complete faggot.

The only noticable flaws of SS2 are stat-based combat and retarded AI (which also cheats). Otherwise its still a 9/10 adventure. No game comes even close to its atmosphere.

>>387219375
SS1 I could agree with, but they are so different in tone and execution that neither makes the other redundant.

Bioshock 1 is a mess with zero replay value and horrendous gameplay. Bioshock 2 is better by every metric.

Bioshock is so damn boring. Incredibly pretty, but boring as fuck. It's less of a mess than SS2, but I couldn't finish it anyway.

The game is 10 hours long you fucking casual.

This is simply not true. Let me guess you played it for the first time 20 years after it came out?

I use to love valve games, but most if not all of them lack replay value. if you play one of their games, then play it again, there's not a lot you can do differently
I know portal 2 was a puzzle game but this applies especially to other valve games too

god
>>
>>387222140
Those aren't mutually exclusive.
Enemies have high health in comparison to the player and don't react much to being shot, for the most part anyway, but weapons do retarded amounts of damage if you have the right upgrades.
>>
>>387222035
Around the time you hit Hephastus forge enemy scaling became so strong it literally ruins the game. I have no idea how they messed up that bad when making it.
>>
>>387218946
PC games from the 90s and early 2000s are often way more playable and look better than a lot of games from the PS2 and PS3 era though. All those games with bad controls and more post process effects than actual graphics aged way worse than games like SS2 and DX.

The mechanics are good and are still working well.
>>

Yes but it starts really shitty

Absolutely not true. You only think this because of nostalgia since you played those shitty gams in your formative years.

If you could actually look at them objectively you'd see they're trash compared to newer games.

>hurr durr its le atmosphere
Fuck off, you can't explore for 2 minutes without some retard respawning and making retard noises, and which will take ammo and durability or almost certainly health to kill, so you can look around for 2 more minutes for what the fuck to do. Then the retard respawns again and you realize you should just load the game because there is nothing to be gained and everything to be lost from battling the monsters. It's like an annoying fucking baby cousin screaming and touching the screen while playing the game, and you have to swat him off to keep him off from you for a couple of minutes. Fucking garbage game design

I didn't play Deus Ex until spring of 2014 and it is still among the best games I have ever played. I played SS2 just before it coincidentally and I didn't like it nearly as much (I did finish it though).

Plus DE has the best memes.

>>387222464

No.
>>
>>387218946
Played deus ex a week ago.
Enjoyed the hell out of it. I don't think (besides the obvious technical limitations of the time) there is anything dated about it, sans how augmentations are handled (specifically no passive augs, and having to use F1-F12 to toggle each aug)

I really enjoyed the environments in HL2. It's very unique despite the game's linearity.

>>387222536
Monsters only respawn when you re-enter the area. Unless you trigger the alarm like a tard.
>>
>>387222764
I greatly enjoyed it at the time, especially the feeling of being alone in the wilderness. It's crossed over to meme game status nowadays though
>>
>>387222694
Weak. I think HL2 is incredibly overrated, and I still enjoy it, partially because of that mid-00s nostalgia, partially because it has good atmosphere in places, good sound design and OST, and I really like the shotgun,

Silent Hill 2 is the most overrated thing I ever played. I can see why some people love it so much, but for me it was neither scary, nor did I give a single fuck about James and his bitch of a dead wife, nor any other terrible characters, nor was the game atmospheric or mechanically entertaining. Spooks weren't spooky, gameplay never went past backtracking and pressing use on everything until confusing, irrational puzzle solves itself, I did love the hilarious attempts at deep and dramatic by the worst voice actors in history.
>>
>>387221513
Not him, but I played it for about 20 minutes and dropped it.
>>
>>387219370
>>387221513
it's fucking true, Earthbound/Mother 2 is as run of the mill JRPG as it can get with the only good things being the quirky humor and the rolling HP meter. Mother 3 is the only good game
>>
>>387224152
I know this will sound ridiculous but the voice acting is supposed to be 'bad'. It takes influence from Twin Peaks which often had wooden acting to give everything an uncanny and unreal feel.

It just makes everything feel a little more uncomfortable and surreal when everyone in Silent Hill seems to be stuck inside their own heads.

I think that makes us far more qualified to judge what is dated and what isn't, don't you?

It's the first really good 3D metroidvania we've had in a really long time. It has its flaws (the second half of the game is pretty... meh), but its core is good enough that you enjoy it, disappointing final bosses and all.

Popularity = overrated.
The game has always been rated pretty fairly. It's a solid game which shipped with a crappy campaign and dissapointed everyone, but retained a large enough playerbase that the first two DLC's and following expansions sold very well.
>>
>>387225781
You are meant to replay it with different weapons and stuff, still not that good since standard is simply the best and it's impossible to beat the game with only energy weapons for example.
>>387226372
The combat is very good, the world is interesting, atmospheric as fuck, there are little details everywhere, looks great aesthetically, very replayable, cool enemy designs, armor porn.
Thats why I like it anyway, some may like the multiplayer too, especially in 2.

HL2 was good for the time but the problem is people still hold it up as GREATEST FPS EVER, PRAISE GABE.

There have been plenty of games since which have been better but if you say this the autists crawl out and claim that it's still unbeaten.

I actually happened to think the Half Life story is shit, the only interesting thing about it is the G-Man. Everything else is basically just fucking Killzone.

This series.

They've done nothing to improve it and only added gimmicks. It was great for the first couple of gens but then it got stale and now it's STILL easy as fuck with shitty plots.

It's a series for kids and it's fucking embarrassing that adults still play it and unironically think it's good, it has't been good for a decade, they just cash in on easy nostalgia money by pumping out below average games.
