yeah, don't act like you don't think i would have tried out minecrafts mods. it makes the game funner for a bit longer, but after that, it goes back to being boring ass minecraft, doing the same repetitive tasks.

Welcome to fucking video games, man. Doing repetitive shit.

I'm surprised no one has said anal sex.

I guess you're the only person that's taken it in the ass around here.

Overrated doesn't mean popular.

Overrated means that people say it is better than it really is. Porn is popular, but most people don't go around saying "Man, porn is so awesome! It is the best thing ever! ALL DAY EVERYDAY!" so it isn't overrated.

And something can't be overrated if the general opinion on it is that it sucks. My Little Pony is popular, but the general opinion (outside of the small group of faggots that like it) is that it's shit and it's for faggots, so it's not overrated.

Also, Minecraft kicks ass.

That comment is overrated ^.

And where's this neutral, objective standard by which these people's opinions can be compared? How can you figure out how good something "really is", separate of the majority's opinion of it?

Experimentation. You try it out, then you compare your opinion to the majority's opinion and determine if it is overrated to you.

Whether or not something is overrated is completely subjective to the individual. Asking for an objective standard for something that is subjective is sort of ridiculous.

Let's take the example of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
It is the most overrated game in gaming history.

Not to say it is a bad game, even though I think it is, but it really is overrated.

So how can I know this by neutral and objective standards?

Let's look at what it offers. A First Person Shooter with below average graphics for that time (Many games were HD by then, which Modern Warfare wasn't), gameplay strikingly similar to the basic gameplay of many other modern-war time First Person Shooters not just of that time, but even before then, with little extra to offer besides kill streak bonuses. It's maps were small compared to other less successful shooters and it was unbalanced.

It was sold at a standard AAA price of 60 dollars/euros, or whatever, although most of it was unoriginal or subpar for that time.

I think it got a 10/10 in most magazines and got praised as Game of the Year, or potential GotY.


That, my friend, is overrated.

So is saying that people can think a game is better than it "really is", especially if you agree that it's subjective. I know there's no objective standard, hence my response

I like how we(stickpage) get distracted so easily.

Overrated Things -> Objective Standard
FML Thread -> Gays

As a religious person,

woah, is this the first time you've told us? For some reason I always assume that everyone on stickpage is nonreligious unless they say otherwise.
