Dude, have you even seen a screenshot of Final Fantasy II, V, or X? Those are significantly worse.Ranylyn said:

Final Fantasy has 14 games, first of all, unless we're counting the side-games and etc, which would be something like 30, so way to be wrong.Gindil said:
Also, more than half those games are excellent. To be fair, the other half is shit.
Also, I really, really, reaaaally don't like Final Fantasy.
Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 are all right if only for nostalgic reasons as I worshipped the ground Square Enix walked on when I was ten, but the rest just...doesn't really appeal to me.

No, I'm not trolling here. Just because you have good childhood memories and the game was good for it's time, does not mean it's the "best game ever". Don't get me wrong, I was addicted to the game back in the day, but people shouldn't shroud their judgement with nostalgia.

I'm implying you could look at a screenshot from any given point in any of those games (except during battles in FFX) and see shit happening. Yes, a graphics criticism does apply to II and V, but that wasn't the point. The point was, they're shit.Ranylyn said:

OT: The only game I think I'm qualified to say is overrated is Final Fantasy VII. I say this because it's a game I've actually played. There are plenty of popular games which I fail to see the appeal, but I can't honestly say whether or not they're overrated since I haven't actually played them. As for Final Fantasy VII, I would never by any means say it's a bad game, it's a good game, after all it was the first Final Fantasy I'd ever played. However it's not good enough to warrant the fanatical fan following it has. Esp. since the main antagonist spends half the game frozen in an ice cube and the other half in the bottom of a hole. Also I swear Sephiroth was channeling Norman Bates.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. I played it on PC recently and it was just so bad I could not finish it. Sure, the graphics have dated since it first came out but it has issues like the clunky combat, the dodgy voice acting and the boring storyline that you'd think would've been heavily criticised even when it first came out. Instead, it won multiple Game of the Year Awards and the sequel is one of the most anticipated games of the year.I just don't understand why.
Planescape: Torment is very overrated. The game sacrificed gameplay for dialogue and boring stuff and the ending was anticlimactic. Also the box was ugly.
Also, morrowind. Dumb combat system and boring world.
Finally, the call of duty series.

[inevitable comment] Oh, he just hates FPS's. Why don't you go back to Zelda?[/inevitable comment]
and the change-up...
>Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
LoZ:ALttP just never seemed to grab me. I loved Ocarina and wish they would make another sidescroller like Zelda 2, but I never felt like LoZ:ALttP stood out among its brothers the way it does for other people.

Oblivion. Everything is there that I enjoy yet I just can't. Have never finished the game, got bored after a few hours on my 4 attempts to play through it, even trying to do things differently.
1) Screenshots are nothing. Also, "graphics criticism?" Oh, I do so love a gamer who can't enjoy a perfectly acceptable game since it doesn't look pretty and HD.Austin Howe said:
2) On the topic of "shit," I'd like to remind you that the first story-based FF was 4, so II has a free pass. V was subparm in story but the gameplay made up for it. X was frustrating in the sense that everyone eventually became clones, but they knew how to do a good boss fight (a level of challenge without absurd HP amounts that make the fights boring) and had even bit-characters who were more interesting than the entire FFVII cast combined.
3) If you want to convince me these games are worse than VII, you need to try way way harder, and any further mention of graphics will nullify your argument completely, since you ARE saying X is worse than VII.
Dragon Age was pretty meh, but then I never got the feeling that it was overrated. GTA: San Andreas, yes expansive, huge, bikes, cheeseburgers, but damn was it ugly, the early game gang wars only served to highlight how crappy the combat in the GTA3 line really was.
Now I gotta say a few words to all the Valve haters. Portal isn't the second coming, but it was charming, it's largely unseen antagonist was truly a breath of fresh air in the wasteland of game writing. Half life one was one of the most immersive FPS's I've ever played, it didn't push the technology, but it pushed the experience, and the community has created tons of great mods. Sure Gordon Freeman is a mute, but Masterchief never says much aside from dealing with the mission or being stoic, Duke Nukem is one of the only FPS characters who expresses himself much, and look where that's got him. I will say HL2 was a letdown, hard to say why.

CoD without a doubt. It's fun, but couldn't they bother to juice each game up a bit more? Probably the biggest changes since CoD4 has been little things like Nazi Zombies and the Wager Matches. This is fine and all, but other than a new terribly implausible story line, every game is very similar. Sure MW2's a bit shinier and has some new bits and pieces to play with, but it's largely the same game asides from a short campaign. I mean with Halo they're always adding and taking away stuff. Halo Reach was a big huge jump from Halo 3 as opposed to MW2 which was a few steps up from CoD 4.
Left 4 Dead. Sorry but I could never really get into it. It gets incredibly repetitive for me extremely fast and it feels rather restrained as opposed to other zombie games gameplay-wise.

You sir, win a cookie. I have never been able to understand Borderland's appeal - it's the blandest game I've ever played in my life. It's akin to Desert Bus to me.LorienvArden said:
Though at a pinch, the second most over-rated game I've played is Team Fortress 2 closely followed by Halo 3.
PS: Your cookie, sir...
poll ? also cod everyone since cod 4 mw, halo all of them, half life ( i just dont get it and cant get into them ), bioshock, zelda ( its been pretty much the same game since forever ), final fantasy 7 ( played it for less than an hour and i knew i was gonna like it ), rock band, gta, mass effect( i tried i really tried to get into it and i found it dull and uninteresting ), marvel vs capcom 3 ( less than 40 characters.....really ? )
