Quoted from CrazyLevi:Yeah, good call. The best selling game of ALL TIME that everybody thinks is awesome is actually overrated. Like wow man.
Look, I understand it. It's an "overrated" thread. So the only interesting targets are gonna be the big dogs. Nobody is gonna give a shit if you say "I really think waterworld is overrated!"
So, naturally, people are gonna chime in and say stuff like creature, Tron, MM, etc are overrated.
You know, all the BEST games. I just don't see the point. Cause these are all the best games that everybody likes, and really by definition can't possibly be overrated.
I actually get what he is saying. TAF being the best selling game of all time is part of the reason it can be considered as one of the more overrated titles. Tons of people, myself included, love it from a nostalgia perspective. It was easy to find out on route at arcades, bowling alleys etc.. I thought it was the greatest machine ever back then. However, after recently getting back into pinball after a long hiatus, the game from a shot & overall game play point, just does not have the appeal that I perceived it to have. I will walk past it to play other games. This is something I would have never in a million years thought possible.
Put me in the corner of JD being vastly overrated.
