Games that have lived up to hype/are underrated?
In a counter to some overrated games, what do you think are some games that people should really pay more attention to? Or that have met their expectations?
I absolutely love the Mass Effect series.
EDIT:
Thanks to [b]A Stolen Fruit[/b], I've remembered the BioShock series.
Yes, I love BioShock 1 & 2. I haven't played Infinite quite yet.

All games I have ever been hyped about have lived up to said hype. I keep my expectations pretty low even when "hyped". I am always happy with a purchase that is hyped by myself. The only game I have ever tossed to the side was Dead Island. I had only viewed the CGI trailer. then one day I saw it for $20 at a swap-meet thinking sweet, a BRAND NEW RELEASED GAME?(used)! I traded it into Gamestop about a week later.

7 RepliesMass Effect gets a lot of hurt cause of the ending of the third one. The series is great until the last ten minutes. I refuse to let that ending spoil the other 75+ hours of gameplay!

Dead Rising and Halo ODST
-
Enslaved, dead rising. Everyone hates on dead rising but it's a fantastic game. it just seems were in an fps era and although there are some great games that people like that aren't fps. But the majority of games are imo.

Bulletstorm
-
I think the metro series doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Halo: Reach, bite me.
-
GTA 5 Omfg its soooo good I love it.

1 ReplyThis is obviously based on general perception and thus liable to be inaccurate, but here's my list of games that have been shortchanged by either reviewers or much of the gaming community IMO: Deus Ex: Human Revolution The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Halo 4 Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Dishonored Metro 2033/Metro: Last Light Dragon Age II Games that lived up to the hype: Skyrim Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Super Smash Brothers: Melee BioShock Batman: Arkham City

I think I speak for everyone when I say Duke Nukem Forever was the greatest game of this generation.

Edited by A 3 Legged Goat: 8/12/2013 3:38:18 AMFor personal hype, I didn't know anything about ODST until around a month before its release. I looked up some info on Bnet, watched trailers, and eventually a walkthrough from SpongeFreak before deciding that it had to be in my Xbox. 4 years later and I've never been more satisfied with a game. For global hype, I'd say Animal Crossing New Leaf has met and in many cases exceeded expectations.

Too human, that was a great game IMO. And Blur, probably the most fun iv had on a racing game ever.

Metro Series Spec Ops: The Line STALKER
-
ODST.
-
I think even if it has it's flaws, Unreal Tournament 3 xbox 360 edition was seriously underrated.
-
I think the crysis series is an underrated but yet absolutely fantastic game series!
-
I know I'm a fanboy, but I've never been disappointed with a Zelda game. Underrated I'd give the award to guardians of middle earth. Designwise it's amazing for a console moba and gives justice to The Lord of the rings franchise. If only it had a solid net code...

1 ReplyJust Cause 2 is hideously underrated.

1 ReplyHalo 3: ODST blew me away honestly. I didn't think it would have been that good of a game
-
5 RepliesDead Space is pretty underrated. Haven't played Dead Space 3 yet, though.
