Most overrated game of all time?

[Servius88]

Before anyone who wants to label this thread as a "misogynistic" or something like that, let me explain first. I don't think this game as misgynostic by some people but I do think this game overly exploited/abused its fanservice(not real-life women). Well, there are tons of otome games that exploited (fictional) men and boys as much as this game to (fictional) women and girls but at same time nobody labeled those games as "misandrist" or anything like it. Just an example of "two wrongs make a right" mentality with double-standards on top. Both parties are guilty to begin with.

By the way I have even more important criticism to this game like clunky controls(unless you have a controller), overly simple gameplay(like any other Dynasty Warriors clones), plain enviroment/stage design, stupid(but exploitable) AI. Why nobody besides me wants to point on those things instead?

I think what makes most people buying this game its fanservice alone, which is rare in Steam unless you count eroge visual novels. Maybe it was aimed towards "right" audiences just like what last year's Hatred did. Critics trashed it but most Steam users bought it anyway. Not to mention some "naughty" mods are already available to be downloaded and used HOURS after the game was released. In other words people are buying this game for fanservice alone and that's why they were delighted with this game, which also the reason why I never bother to read its "reviews". They all the same anyway, only written with slight differences to each other.

Honestly I don't hate this game or any fanservice-y games to begin with but I am tired with other users praising this game to the max just for its fanservice alone.

uhm, overwatch? Zelda? i mean for real? just to name some since SKSV is more or less only known in a "special circle for people who dont get it", or anime fans but for real, it gives other games which are...."more hyped".

You've spent what? 1.2 hours playing the game. Or between the 15 girls of the 3 shinobi schools immediately available, an average of 4.8 minutes each. That's barely enough for the character introductions, never mind getting into any depth about character motivations or interactions.

So what would you even know about the story and characters in the first place?

most of that time was probably from the loading screen.

Honestly the fanservice is only arousing at first, what with the censor and the ps2 tier textures on the underwear(seriously someone make a mod with higher res textures please) but after playing for a long while you stop trying to strip the girl bare to land the secret ninja art and rip either her panties or bra to shreds and instead go straight for the kill for that A rank, specially on the higher difficulty missions and hard mode. One hour isn't enough to gauge the game's depth completely, all characters are different, even characters that are similar like Miyabi and Ikaruga, Asuka and Homura all play pretty different, are most of their combo inputs similar? Yes, but their moves and combos have different propierties and quirks, not to mention each girl has three different movesets(flash, yang and yin). None of the girls play similar other than having similar combo inputs, not even girls from the same team or that are aesthetically similar such as Asuka and Homura, Miyabi and Ikaruga. I agree the weakest part of the game is the story but it's not terrible, cliche, but not absolutely irredimeble, OP should consider giving the game another chance rather than giving up after one hour, I bet he didn't unlock anything and he is basing his review on the girl's level one combos which are extremely limited;

>I am tired of seeing people play this game for fanservice

Ok, too bad. People want to enjoy things the way they want to. That's like saying you hate to see people play videogames for fun. They bought it with their money, they can enjoy it the way they want.

Doesn't a game have to be rated, before it can be overrated?

I don't think anyone has claimed this to be a great game. From what I can tell it's just a simple mindless button masher with some T&A thrown in for good measure. Heck, I don't even know what this games called.
In my mind it just called "Something beginning with S : Something something versus AKA the one with the titties".

Definitely not overrated.

Not going to lie, this is pretty much dynasty warriors with boobs, but the fanservice in tandem with the fact we've pretty much cracked turning animes into 3D means everyone is looking past that I guess

Why did u even call this game over hyped? First this game came out long time ago i think it was 2012 Alot of people already know what it is and what does it have to offer why would u call this over hyped? Do u even know what that mean and did u ever do research? This post wrote by close minded person who know nothing about the game nor it community i bought this game since i was bored and want something to play so i buy it. I do like the fan service somewhat but when i get more and more into it i never spend anymore time looking at those girls body. People who only look at a negative side of a game like u should never try to do these kind of "review" because people can easily give u more reason why this game better.

@OP: yeah, overrated as hell. I'm actually playing just because it is a "hack & slash" game. The story is stupid, and the characters are silly (few are "so-so"), and no, I'm not playing it for boobs or ecchi, if I wanted it I'd go to Sankaku Complex. But that's my opinion, of course.

And yet you're okay with DMC4, Onechanbara Z2 and Akiba's Trip?

Steam has like 2 options only, like or not. are you saying the people like the game didn't really like it? lol

Gameplay-wise, I'm still trying Senran.

-Akibas is pretty silly, but y'know, I bought the game, gotta play it (same for this one). Its pretty funny to "break" the clothes using Zui Quan moves, though (considering my main characters in DOA5/Tekken were Brad Wong/Lei Wulong).

-Onechanbara isn't THAT great game, but I found it funnier and more complex than what I saw on SKXV until now (maybe it'll change when I get more hours of SK, who knows). At least the tag change combos, and the 8 different weapons/moves from the 4 characters can give us some new oportunities to develop combos.

-DMC doesn't even need arguments. Best and most complex H&S game imo. And through mods, things might get complicated with the new difficulties. Well, the story isn't great as seen in DMC3, but the game mechanics are very good.

Not going to talk about MGR:Revengeance, Dynasty Warriors, Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae, or any other.


I'm not saying that Senran Kagura is a bad game. The story isn't that bad, but is bad developed due to the huge focus on the fanservice and it kills my hype about it.

Well, instead of only recommend/not recommend, we should have a "so-so" option, too. Or qualify it as "Terrible, Bad, So-so, Good, Awesome". I don't have the game, but I don't like it that much, either.

Again, don't flame me, this is MY personal opinion.

Am I trolling? I have no intention to troll anyone but I'm still surprised people keep replying to this thread nearly two weeks. It's my fault for such thread title but I'm still believe this game got too many credits than it deserves. It's not a terrible game but I'm tired of people praising this game for fanservice alone and nevermind the rest.

By the way I'm tired to see too many people behaving like an overly-exited 8-years old boys in Christmas mornings before unwrapping their presents(I'm not a Christian) just because they knew what's waiting for them. Yes this game have tons of fanservice and that's the reason why people are buying this game but they failed to highlight the flaws that come with this game as well. For example there is no proper "exit to windows" button and instead I'm forced to press alt-f4 to quit the game. How can the devs forgot such simple function in first place?

I know most people don't bother themselves with that as they aren't care at all. This game is a good example of Steam's flawed review systems and mentality of their users as well. I agree with Rig's proposal of "neutral" options to balance the ratings.

Please do not compare this game with more mainstream ones like Call of Duty and Overwatch because while those two are obviously overrated from general perspective but most people aren't play those games for fanservice alone, unlike this game. As for this game when its fanservice wears off, it just a shallow hack-and-slash games with clunky controls unless you have a controller. The PS3 exclusive Bleach: Soul Resurrecion is better than this game in term of gameplay, story and controls.
