In this thread, post things that you feel are underrated, unappreciated, and unrecognized.
Everybody has feeling of this kind of thing, and here you can discuss and share that.
Well, since there is no real "place to begin" with my grievances, I'll keep it short for now, and update later.

Modern Warfare 2's story (And the 1st)- Nobody complained about the first one, but discussed so very breifly as it had been Transformers 2. The second installment, however, actually faced
criticism. And that criticism was that the story was apparently "too difficult to understand". Really? I understood just about everything on my first playthrough (or as I like to call it my "cinematic playthrough"). And the stuff that you didn't understand immediately? Isn't that one of the qualities of a great story? When you go back, and notice something that you didn't before. The core of the story was actually quite simple, and it (along with a damned powerful musical score) was amazingly emotional. I've never felt so close to a character's emotions in a game then at the part where
Spoiler
you pull the knife out of your chest. It was just so intense, and when the screen started going red, it really showed all of the emotions that Soap was going through at the moment: rage, anguish, sever pain, and determination.
I would also like to add that I think General Shepherd is one of the greatest villains ever in a game for the pure fact that he caused so much wrong-doing in the story, and unbeknownst to the the player, you were just one of his pawns. Amazing stuff, and it doesn't get the recognition it
truely deserves.
James Callis as Gaius Baltar in Battlestar Galactica: If you've seen the show, this one speaks for itself. He is simply revolutionary in that role- and he hasn't recieved a single award for hit. No Emmys, no Golden Globes, nothing. Bullshit, my friends, bullshit.
