Hatred is something pretty goddamn common on the internet, most of it has to do with hype, if all you ever hear is how godly something is you are going to be let down completely, leading many people to talk about how overrated it is like they are the first people to actually notice.

Yes, Avatar is nothing more than a rehashed version of Dances with Wolves

Yes, the Halo sereis is pretty much crap all around.

Yes, Twilight is nothing more than a abstinence message about how woman are completely useless without men.

But you know what? Overrated dosnt mean bad, it just means not as good, one could argue that anything is overhyped if they lived in a right place or something.

Avatar's plot might be as week as a scifi channel original movies but that dosnt take away the fact that it has one of the best fictional universes and settings ever made.

Halo might be one of the reason every game feels the need to insert multiplayer into its games but you know what? Halo is a fucking fun as hell party game, get a bunch of friends to play it at a party and its a good damn time.

Twilight is a message about abstinence but its also HAHA im just kidding theres nothing good about this stupid piece of trash.

What im trying to say is that while overhyped in no way means good, it dosnt always mean bad, one could argue that games like Shadow of the Collosus is overhyped but that isnt going to stop people from always always! mention it whenever the whole "games are art?" argument comes up.

In short, seriously people shut up about games being overhyped, we get it, i myself was guilty of this when Avatar came out, so please, for the sake of the site, think what overhyped really means, now lets all go burn harass Twilighters.

"Overhyped" kinda means the devs push their game for being the next Orcana of Time or Mario, but it turns out to be Zelda II or Mario DS: Wii Edition. So, yeah. You are right, but unfortunately the games they do overhype are crap.

Another prime example: Empire: Total War.

I take it you didn't like Eclipse......................ha.........but, seriously, don't listen to hype. Decide for yourself what you like or dislike.

EDIT- whoops, hit post too soon.

Anyway other than that I agree with you. People really seem to use over-rated in the wrong way on this site a lot.

Was the pot shot on Halo REALLY necessary, though?

Honestly, it's all about opinion. It shouldn't matter what other people think. Hype it all you want, if I think the film/game sucked, that is my opinion, and no amount of hype will change that.

Example: Let's say I watched and enjoyed the Watchmen film (which I did), but everyone I talked to said it was terrible. A waste of money. Now, because all of these people said it was a bad film, does that make the movie any different the next time I watch it? Are the actors performances any worse or different because some people said the movie was bad? No. I enjoyed it because I thought the acting was good and the film was beautifully directed. That is my opinion. I didn't enjoy it because others told me to enjoy it.

Dude, its Halo man, come on lol, i like Halo but its incredibly average like in everyway, only good for a gaming party or maybe a sleepover, no diffrent then Gears of War or Guitar Hero, with the only thing i actually like about the story is the fact that it has Samuel L Jackson in it
