What the fuck? That makes no sense. Are you saying Halo 3 is overrated because it's not the best in the series, or that Master Chief is a spiky haired bastard?BaldursBananaSoap said:FF7. It's not even the best in the series, let alone the best RPG ever. Plus Cloud is a whiny spiky haired bastard who sits about crying "I'm not strong enough" for the whole game.
Halo 3 - see above
This would be on my short list of runners up.Weslebear said:Half Life series has been blown way out of proportion in terms of hype, they are quite boring games and nowhere near the levels of hype they generate.
I have to agree with you on that one.It's not as great as people make it out to be.Julianking93 said:Ocarina of Time.
Oh yeah. I went there.
Exactly. Goddamn it EXACTLY. But people's opinions on games are everywhere, it's pretty hard not to hear or see any of them.Kaleion said:Haha a game is only over rated after you hear praise about it, Try playing games you have without listening to anybody's opinnion and be impressed, they are a lot more fun if you play them without hearing anybody's oppinion about it!
Here is my thing about portal. I love it. I also view it as a nice addition to the set of games presented by The Orange Box, but that's all I see it as; it's a nice little extra. It isn't really it's own game, fully... It's an enjoyable 2-4 hour extra, which, coupled with TF2 and half-life 2, makes for a great game bundle.ProfessorLayton said:All of the Call of Duties AFTER 2, I guess. But everyone's saying that.
Actually I'll have to agree with you. See, I had heard of Portal years before it came out and got excited because it looked like a creative and interesting game to me. It came with the Orange Box and it was the first game I ever bought for the 360. I played Portal (and I loved it) but I ended up liking Half-Life 2 much more. Portal is still fun and creative, but the reason why I probably enjoyed it so much is because I bought it before all the crazy hype that it got. I had played and beaten it before I heard almost all of its jokes quoted endlessly on the internet. If I had played it for the first time right now, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I had before the hype. Hype kills games.Fanusc101 said:Portal.
It doesn't deserve the obscene amount of praise it gets.
Sigh... You can't say that. Seriously, you just can't. You can say you didn't enjoy it, or that it sucks, or whatever, but just because 95% of everyone else enjoyed it does NOT make it overrated. Enjoy the quotes.Xandus117 said:I find that Half-Life 2 is the most overrated game ever.

Judging by your name I am just going to assume it is actually because you are just blindly following what a certain someone says. You are also generalizing because you couldnt possible have played them all so you have no reason to say they all suck.ayahtzeefan said:well i think they all suck and get way too much popularityLeonHellsvite said:That sure is being a hater as they are not all over rated, just FFVII.ayahtzeefan said:all JRPGs
The Escapist needs to make a separate forum for nothing but "overrated" threads.Dr. Gorgenflex said:What do you guys think the most overrated game of all time is.
For me, it definitely has to be Modern Warfare 2. It had a short, stupid campaign, multiplayer that was a step backwards from CoD 4, and this game received a metascore of 94. The only thing they added was a co op mode which isn't even that good. The reviews of this game drive me to insanity because they state the major flaws and give it 10/10 anyways and people praise it.
It's pretty easy to just claim that Dragon Age is a generic world if you don't go very far into it.ramik81 said:-Dragon Age: Origins: Ok, I get it, Bioware makes games with really good story and voice acting...question is when are they ever going to make up a story that's original...0o
Thank You. Portal is great but not the next thing to heaven as everyone seems to think.Fanusc101 said:Portal.

I just started playing Fallout 2. The one thing I can't stand about the game is that you're almost required to tag Unarmed or Melee Weapons.Lordmarkus said:Thank You. Portal is great but not the next thing to heaven as everyone seems to think.Fanusc101 said:Portal.

Second for me is Fallout 2. More stuff does not recover the lost atmosphere. And why tribals?!
