Overrated!

[lava_lamp]

Halo series
Resistance series
most of the Final Fantasy games
i could name a few more if i thought about it longer

 

[antipunt]

Fable 2 and Shean White Snowboarding

Sean White was overrated? I never heard one good thing about that game

lol I know. And yet it sold -SO- well =P

 

[vacuumbrand]

GTA IV. The end.

 

[Worr Monger]

Little Big Planet... omg fire

Can I take a wild guess and say you don't own a PS3?

Actually I do and I bought it... And quickly became mind numbingly bored

Fair enough. I think I can see how someone would get bored with it... it might be more fun to play with 2-4 people IMO.

Street fighter 4
Although this is probably because i am bad at it

 

[Souplex]

Half life
Metal Gear
These are the two bad game series that have achieved ridiculous popularity for no explainable reason.

 

[Instant K4rma]

I would also say GTA4. In my opinion, Saints Row 2 blows GTA4 out of the water, and i think that the Saints Row games are highly underrated. Those are great games, yet i see so little about them.

 

[electric_warrior]

The Beatles are over-rated.

I know they aren't a game, but fuck 'em.

i totally agree, finally someone who agrees with me

Half life

I dunno...MGS can sorta get away with it because of it's story, but half life...yea that one still hurts my brain.

resistance 2
killzone 2
little big planet
Grand theft auto 4
metal gear solid 4
halo3 (obviously)
call of duty 4

basically any game that gets a great score by reviewers (they're all noobs).

So games that get bad reviews are always good? I don't follow your logic. There's usually a reason that games get good reviews.

I never said that, games that get bad reviews usually suck as well. The majority of games that have come out in the last 3 years have been awful imo. Games that feature realism and graphics as selling points always get 9/10, 9.5/10, or 10/10 becuase in this day in age, game developers don't seem to care about gameplay anymore.

GTA4 got a 10/10 by gameinformer by it's more of a movie than a game. COD4 got a 10/10 but single player was ruined by it's god awful ending and multiplayer didn't have any remotely symmetrical maps(except for that one map that was slightly larger than shipment; if forgot the name). maps need symmtrical or one side will always be better then the other. MGS4 got a 10/10 but the cutscenes are so god damn long and... well you've seen the ZP reviews.

I'm going to ignore my urge to defend CoD4 and focus on your point that reviewers give games good scores for no reason. Why exactly is that?

Once again, i didn't they give 10/10 for no reason, just for the wrong reason

Star Wars KOTOR. I have tried playing that game 4 times and never has it interested me for over 2 hours.
Also, to a lesser extent, Elder Scrolls games. That was not so much a lack of interest though, but a limited amount of time to experience any of the games of that series to the point of where they are supposed to become fun.

We can never be bestest friends.

Halo + gears of war

I get it, your big strapping men, now stop overcompensating and get a real job.

Pretty much this.

This all sounds about right.

resistance 2
killzone 2
little big planet
Grand theft auto 4
metal gear solid 4
halo3 (obviously)
call of duty 4

EDIT: forgot Resident Evil 5, CoD:Waw

basically any game that gets a great score by reviewers (they're all noobs).

So basically... anything new or good is overrated? Not that I've played all of these titles....

What do you play exactly?

Deadspace, Fallout 3, Uncharted, R:FOM, motorstorm, and various psn games are the only games i actually enjoyed since the start of the 7th console generation. Ironically, the games i hate i'm actually quite good at.

I dunno. I never really cared for Deadspace. I'd probably add that to my list of "Overrated".

 

[PersianLlama]

Halo series
Gears of War series
Grand Theft Auto 4 (I preferred it overhead)
Killzone 2 (Never played the first one!)
Resistance 2 (I don't think the first one was overrated? I never heard much on it, but I played it)
Any Pokemon game past gold/silver.
Final Fantasy 7
Kingdom Hearts (All of them)
Fable 1 and 2
Fallout 3
Resident Evil 5
Call of Duty: World at War
Metal Gear Solid 4

Long list, but I don't hate all of those games. (I like most of them) I just think they're overrated.

 

[VoltySquirrel]

FF7

Also the Legend of Zelda.

On the other hand, the search bar is very underrated.

I hate to be that guy, but this has been done a few times. Try the search button.

You two enjoy your search bar, I'm going to enjoy current topics.

 

[Ultress]

Psyhconauts got a lot of Hype mostly in the form of being yelled at for not buying it and Half life 2, both good games just not gems of flawlessness they were made out to be.

All of these except CoD4. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

 

[Amalith]

It seems EVERY game is overhyped. None of them are really THAT good (as good as the lovers say), even if they are good games. The only games that aren't overrated are unknown to the masses.

 

[Grand_Marquis]

Ok im just going to say it. GoW 2 and Halo 3.

Halo + gears of war

I get it, your big strapping men, now stop overcompensating and get a real job.

Halo 3 and Gears OF War

Gears 2...I reckon the first one was pretty awesome.

The award for super overrated goes to...Halo 3.

I realise it's been said before but Halo, quite possibly the most over-rated game in history

Halo series as a whole (just sort of meh, they aren't bad or anything)

etc.


I like this forum. You're good people.
