Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 80693, member: 3864"] My boring opinion is that I start to tune out when I hear games called "overrated" or "underrated". To me, it implies that there is some theoretical measure of "Deserved Attention/Adoration" for any given game...whiiiiiiich there isn't. I will say, the use of "overrated" annoys me more, because it's generally: -Thing is popular but *I* don't like it, and feel left out/unseen by the different opinions. -Thing is popular [I]with people *I* don't like[/I], and this is an extension of my various agendas. -Thing is popular but I'm pretty convinced I'm smarter than everyone else, so Nyeh. All of which is just personal to each of us, it would be nice to see people speak honestly about it instead of pretending the "attention economy" didn't obey some imaginary natural laws. [/QUOTE]
