    Fair enough, I'd do the same, if I was going to a University. My holidays are lasting until early September, like you said... but I'll keep writing, no problem.

    Great! I'll be posting my FF tomorrow, seeing as I have the first 3 chapters done, and I'll be able to write the 4th when I reach it.

    How's your LP going?

    Underrated implies that people feel that "a game is bad" and that the one who's perspective it is coming from implies that it "deserves better". There's no real gray area there, it's a pretty defined definitively defined word in the sense, though it's completely based on subjectivity.
    "Underrated", as I said, has little gray area since it explains itself in two words that make up the compound word "underrated". It has nothing to do with popularity, but a game can be underrated because it's overlooked, and someone can rate a game low because it's overlooked, but overlooked games don't have to be underrated, because you have to look further into the reason that they're overlooked.
    But if you truly are going to say that the definitions themselves are subjective...well, I can't fight you on that, because it's true. "Language" is subjective, there's no "Official Dictionary of Meanings", one dictionary can say a word means one thing and another could say that that same word means something different, so even if I use the "less than literal, yet still by the book version of "underrated" and you don't...well, that's all there is to say. Pavlov is law, after all.

    Though the speed of your response to my second to last response (and the subject matter of the response that I'm responding to now) has me wondering, did you actually read all of what I said 20 minutes ago?

    So you are calling Pavlov. I still hold that "underrated" has little gray area, but since you say "no", like it's fact, it's pretty much the same as calling Pavlov, which I can't combat.

    Pavlov is law, after all.

    Underrated implies that people feel that "a game is bad" and that the one who's perspective it is coming from implies that it "deserves better". There's no real gray area there, it's a pretty defined definitively defined word in the sense, though it's completely based on subjectivity.

    It is, after all, in the name "underrated", it's pretty self explanatory in that sense. You could call "Pavlov" and then I'd be forced to stop right there, because Pavlov is law.

    Granted, overlooking is completely based on neutrality (though it doesn't always have to. Let's say some person goes to the gamestore looking for nothing in particular. Any game that they don't by, but considered at least a little, is "overlooked" in a more literal sense. Similarly, if a game isn't well known, but is good, would be considered overlooked in the sense that we are talking about. Generally Overlooked and Underrated can be synonymous because the latter generally doesn't get much fanfare, and thus it leads to less demand, leading to the former, which is how the confusion of "overlooked" and "underrated" most likely came about. Just because someone overlooks a game doesn't mean they don't like it, it just means that, from what they've seen (or from the little that they've played) they don't want to play it (more). At the same time, they can't have built a full opinion of the game, because that would spill into judgment, and that would spill into "overrated/underrated" subject matter.

    "Games that people rate low or don't even give the chance because of the popularity of overlooked games" isn't completely what "underrated" is (that's more like "underrating"), that's called being shallow, or consumer/producer pressure in this case. Yeah, it's underrated, but it's also unjustifiable and just doing it because people say it's bad or don't know too much about it...that's pretty much called being shallow, lazy, or cracking under consumer/producer pressure, but that would definitely be included in my definition. Or it could be considered being a dick. "Underrated", as I said, has little gray area since it explains itself in two words that make up the compound word "underrated". It has nothing to do with popularity, but a game can be underrated because it's overlooked, and someone can rate a game low because it's overlooked, but overlooked games don't have to be underrated, because you have to look further into the reason that they're overlooked. Maybe they just had crappy advertising. Maybe they have crappy box art. Maybe the game looks boring through videos. Maybe it has a crappy name or an unjustifyably bad demo. That type of stuff turns people away, but they're not saying the game is crap because of that stuff, they're just not willing to go any further into the experience. Because of their neutrality on the game itself, it wouldn't be overrated or underrated, it would simply be overlooked (unless the people who did play the game thought it was better/worse than it actually was, then it could be both). One can exist without the other.

    But they're not saying the game is bad, it would be considered overlooked because of their neutral input on the subject matter, and that neutrality doesn't really into underrated or overrated.

    For instance, I'll use two passions of mine as an example. Phoenix Wright is underrated because it's a Text Based Point and Click Adventure Game, and people dump on it because "it's boring", despite the fact that they've barely played it or haven't played it at all. They acknowledge its existence and still dump on it because it's not "super actiony".

    The Touhou Project, on the other hand, is a game that people praise for its gameplay and even more for its music, but there still aren't really that many people that know of its existence, and therefore, it's overlooked.

    Well, if they ignore them on purpose then I would say that it wouldn't be overlooked; but then again, "ignoring" something can be unintentional, for instance someone might not play something because it didn't look appealing or they didn't know about it, and that would fall into "overlooking".

    My first game I think was Theme Hospital? Or Tomb Raider? Neither will run on my PC's because 64 bit Windows doesn't support 16 Bit Applications :L

The post count was reduced? Wow, shows how much I've been here recently.

Aaaaanyway, what I wanted to blog about, I'm considering making a video game review series on YouTube, whether it will happen or not is another thing, but I plan on at least doing something on my YouTube channel in the next few days, so I thought I'd just say:

I love Chameleon Twist (the N64 game), and I'm not afraid to say it!

Now I can endlessly mock it as I am unbiased.
