I'm a tad confused as well. By his logic, a remake is indicative of a games superiority.Scrustle said:
It has nothing to do with the fact that they know people are silly enough to buy the game they made a decade ago with nothing more than a texture swap right?
great picks!
I'll take Goldeneye over FFVII. Only reason, i manage to get a headache and bored playing Goldeneye. FFVII was the only JRPG i've played that made me lose track of time. I HATE turn based RPGs but FFVII i actually played for an extended period of time.
Therefore, Goldeneye is more overrated to me
But nonetheless awesome picks!

FF7 is a good candidate for most overrated. Only fair Goldeneye lost.
It's not hard to find too many games with perfect scores, so you should nominate that 10/10 game that was worst of the bunch.
I'd pick Oblivion in the RPG category, but FF7 can still compete for terrible dialogue, stupid plot, bad gameplay and overrated graphics.

I still own and play my N64 copy of Perfect Dark. I mean C'mon, look at the multiplayer! AI mechanics that spread across a huge terrain of difficulties, gotta love that.
Also, FF7 was... okay? Surely not the pedestal-deserving RPG of our age just because they knocked off a main character in a cinematic scene. (FF5 did that too, people seem to forget that.)

yes, what DO you mean by linkin park?
also i have to agree with FF7. its important, but its not the best game ever or the staple for RPG. in fact id recon people have gone out of their way to make RPGs NOTHING like FF7(except JRPGs wich almost all of them suck anyway). in fact this goes for almost all games from the past. WAKE UP PEOPLE. YOU WERE KIDS. YOU WERE YOUNG. YOU WERE INTRODUCED TO VIDEO GAMES THEN. THEY MEZMERIZED YOU. now theyre just a routine, more famous and more abndant, so you feel a need to be critical towards them. games in the past were as shitty as the ones we have now.

I hate the use of the word overrated. I believe something is overrated when it's considered to be great, but it isn't even good. Some people have told me that Mass Effect 2 is overrated, because it didn't live up the expectation that have been hyped to an unobtainable level. That's a matter of immature response to expectations, something that we should learn at an early age when a toy we get turns out to suck when it did awesome shit in the commercial.
That being said I like Halo. I don't care what you beard-strokey, avant-garde, Half-Life 2 loving jerks say. I'll take my explosions, vehicle combat, and interesting enemy/encounter design.

If people wanted a Goldeneye remake, they could have just played Timesplitters.
There was no way that a Goldeneye remake would spark a revolution in multiplayer gaming again, after all these years. And it's multiplayer was one of the main reasons it was so loved.

Soon as I saw the title, I instantly thought FFVII, and I've never even played any of the FF games. So yeah, gonna have to side with Chris here.
You're both wrong.
Again.
And once again, it falls upon me to provide the right answer.
Because I'm always right.
Always.
It's Half Life 2 (And episodes, because they still haven't finished that game, making it more a a joke than Duke Nukem Forever).

Definately final fantasy 7, st least goldeneye did what it did well at the time and laid the groundwork for games to build on what it did.
FF7... there are better games within it's franchise, and whatever tropes it did introduce or do well were done better elsewhere, or were annoying to begin with.

FF VII is definitely more overrated. At least for its time, Goldeneye was the benchmark. It was the best console shooter anyone had been able to pull off at the moment of its release. There were already many better RPGs in the history of console gaming. At least 2 of them (IV and VI, though you could argue III and V as well, I'm going by actual creation, not NA release) with the same damn name. It's a good game, but it never has been and never will be amazing, like Goldeneye was and many other Final Fantasy games are.
Exactly. Goldeneye didn't really change much besides graphics. Everything you'd want in a FPS back then you could have found in Wolfenstein, or Duke Nukem, or Doom. People remember Goldeneye more because it became more available to the masses than those PC games of the past.Waaghpowa said:
Think of it it terms with Halo (which, by the way, I'm not saying is bad). People's argument that Halo is overrated can be attributed to how accessible it became for people. One major factor is that when they sold Xbox 360s, they would sometimes package the console with whatever was the new(ish) iteration of Halo. And since some of these ended up being the first game people had for the 360, that'd be the one they'd play frequently and remember fondly, since it was probably their first experience with an FPS at all, let alone a next-gen FPS.
It speaks to the simplicity of people. Some people would much rather have a machine made specifically for playing games than tweak another one so it can play those same games. That's why Goldeneye became so popular: it spoke to the people who didn't know about Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem, or Doom. And since it provided a simple means to play an FPS with a streamlined controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, it's obvious people are going to look back at it with fondness.
The only reason I don't is because I didn't play it back when I had a N64. My first Bond game was The World Is Not Enough. That one I ended up playing quite a lot, though.
