Your Top 5 Overrated Games

[TomGuycott]

Even then, Minecraft has negative impact. The insane amount of of [something]Craft clones we've gotten over the last 3 years has been increasing. Or the fact that games like Skyward Sword and Dead Space 3 now have crafting in them. I'm not saying SS and DS3 are taking elements of Minecraft into their games, but it's pretty convenient to have players doing that in their games at a time when Minecraft is so big. It does have it's negative impact.

I'd call that more of a coincidence. Crafting elements in video games DO predate Minecraft. Hell, even the concept of inserting a -craft suffix into the name predates Minecraft. Come to think of it, Zelda: A Link to the Past ALMOST has a moment of weapon crafting in it. Sure, its more of a side quest to get a character from point A to point B, but doing so gives you the opportunity to upgrade your sword. While not EXACTLY the same, in a world of swordplay and magic it seems easier for elements of crafting to be feasible. But I don't really know for sure, maybe Miyamoto just plays Minecraft all day.
