Is Defiance the most underrated game on xbox 360?

[BootLeg]

Chromehounds was the most underrated game in Xbox Live history in my opinion it still bums me out that the servers are down FOREVER?!?!?!?! WHYYYYYYYYYY?!??!?!?!?!?!

I have to say that bugs and all, I'm loving this game. I've played all different types from CoD to Dark Souls to Mass Effect, the Sims, Little Big Planet and on PS3, xbox, and PC. I've played just about every CoD game and kept getting way to angry at Black Ops 2 and the bugs in it (for a longstanding product, the bugs should be minimal), as well as the players (camping and so on). Defiance made me smile again and I started having fun. I'm still having fun and have no wish to go back to any CoD game.

I like that I can choose to focus solely on PvE and I still have a lot to do. I like coop (yeah it's bugged a lot sometimes). For some reason arkfalls never get old and I've been focusing on them since the beginning. I can't wait to see what DLC brings and I like that things do often change in the game-seriously, hulkers, raiders, and all hellbugs showing up at arkfalls.

LOL yeah, I was trying to catch a few early coffee drinkers mid sip.

It's late afternoon here so more likely to be a beer now, but brought back memories.

I think once the first DLC is released a lot of reviewers will take another look at it and its current state at the time of the DLC's release, which it'll be in a much better place than launch. Maybe then reviewers will give a score more fitting of it.

My motto on game reviews: trust your friends, not "professional" reviews.

The review system for video games is broken. Always has been, always will be. When it comes to the case of such larger titles, such as Battlefield and Call of Duty... just read IGN's review of MW3 (Xbox) and Battlefield 3 (PC). Same rating (may be one point difference), yet Battlefield gets criticized beyond belief that it is hard to believe it scored a 9.1.

In the case of Defiance... I would say it would be critics just playing it and thinking, "Oh, MMO based on a SyFy series... Hmm. What is this? Bug here and here. Bad game." It really seems funny that people forget so quickly how a game can have a bumpy launch and then right itself within a week through a patch. Battlefield 3 had issues during launch that were cleared up. Fallout 3... Skyrim.

At the time of writing this, Defiance has a lowish score of 57 on Metacritic.com. The more time I spend on Defiance, the more I think this score is unfair.

Compared to some of my other favourite 3rd person games like Just Cause, Saints Row and Red Dead Redemption, I'd say Defiance is proving as entertaining. I really enjoy Arkfalls, Co-op, upgrading weapons and some of the later story missions have been excellent.

I'm just a regular player and I'm bewildered why Defiance scored so low for 360, as there's not been anything quite like it before.

What do you think? Has Defiance been treated fairly or not?

I think the bad start really cost Defiance in this area. It gets better and better for me too, even though I've played a **** ton - ego 2760 now.

I have yet to be walking and just fall through the ground into an infinite void ala Fallout or Skyrim. Therefore, I cannot complain, lol.

It does amaze me that so many high-profile AAA super games get a free pass with bugs and glitches, but Defiance has been ripped a new one for it. And most of those games operate on engines and builds that should be far, far, far more stable because they are not online games. The logic in that is backwards.

Overrated. In my opinion. With all the flaws in this game. I had such high hopes for this game. Plus it no longer follows the show pssh. I'm done.

I have to agree with you here, all the A-listers get a free run to be honest always high ratings but i got Black Ops 2 and it was the same online run and shoot boredom as before just new maps.

Then something totally new comes along with the promise of longivity and actual changing new content not just a new map and the critics dont even give it a chance.
I would like the critics to tell me exactly what they find fun about running around (running if your not on a laggy map or with someone using a lag switch) on the same few maps every night shooting other players over and over again with the only reward being to prestige and do it all again.

I don't usually pay any attention to what critics think, but I'm kind of picky about games and it's held my attention for about a week now. I'm really enjoying it, bugs and all.
