Can we get a universal opinion/definition on what "overrated" means?
I mean, if a game still holds a high percentage of appeal among collectors and players, and the demand/price is there, how exactly can it be overrated?
If a game sucks, the demand and price pretty much reflects it, with a few exceptions that hard core collectors may value for whatever reason like small production, etc... Doesn't it?
Quoted from alichino:I think the ratings are a little bit flawed, personally. Like, the first question is 'How good is the flow on the game?'
I love TZ, but a flowy game it is not. If the ratings were reset, I have a feeling it would drop waaaaay down the list based on that question alone. Similarly, Star Trek is super flowy, so I had to give it points on that, but I think it's actually so focused on flow that it loses a lot of personality (hit these five ramps for every mode; it flows!). I have to give it max points for flow, but I would really like to dock it for that instead.
But isn't flow vs. stop and start subjective? I agree TZ has no flow. STTNG has great flow. But both are or were in the top ten, and have been for a long time.
People have been ranking/rating TZ for 20 plus years. It's not like it's some surprise that it isn't a very flowy game.
