MOST OVER rated game ever!!!!

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Halo and Halo 2 for the current generation.

FF VII is pretty overrated, definately not the best FF ever, but I would hardly say the most overrated game ever. Its still and awesome game.

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

I would have to say the entire Final Fantasy series.

 

[Maniacal]

The pokemon games were overated.

Because he's joking?

There are no room for jokes if it cosiders about Civ2

I think World of Warcraft is pretty overrated. I tried with my friend's CDs and he gave me 10 day free trial account. Ok I tested it few days and didn't find much of interesting there. Ok I go to wack some mosnters earn xp and gold, do that certain time and afterall all what I do is I repeat same formula. Perhaps is just that I'm not so much into online-RPGs.

I prefer more TOEE type RPGs

 

[Maniacal]

What does TOEE stand for?

ANd I bet I WOULD like WOW, as it is I'm playing KNight Online (because it's free mostly) and I played RuneScape 1 for a year and a bit but finaly tired of it soon after RS2 was fully released.

I am starting to hate and despise the hyp and animated not in that game graphics they add to marketing schemes, it's more or less that same crap everytime.

Halo and Halo 2. They were boring. I've only played GTA in the multimode, and from what I've played it kinda sucks.

Watchout that pickle gonna eat us!!!

Wait, you mean the entire FF series??? I agree that a few of them are overrated, but some like FF1, FF5, and FF7 are definately not, due to owning copies of all of them through FFX-2 (which was a "little" overrated )
But what I don't get why people pay so much for a game that you really cant "win". Examples: WOW, Everquest...(way too many Everquest games), I don't know, but maybe if they improved Runescape's graphics more people would play... I.E. its all polygon graphilcs (not "3D" like most high end games are...)

Halo et al.

Played the demo for 1 on PC, typical shooter, pass.

Played 2 on the Xbox at school. While I enjoy the competition it wasnt any different from any other shooter.

Halo.

Racing games in which you customize your cars to be over the top urban street racers. Oh wow you're such a rebel! Look at me! I'm driving 100mph in a residential zone! Screw what the Man thinks about my wild and reckless ways! Oh yeah! Endangering the lives of men, women and children pedestrians is so going to make me famous in a field of interest that no one gives two flying fornications over! And if they get in my way, **** them because I'm only after my own adrenaline needs and other racers cars because I'm such a greedy b******!

And sports games. What the heck! I remember seeing an advertisement that was counting down to the release of another installment of Madden football 2003 or something. WOOHOO yet another video game about the same game that thousands of other video games have done since the invention of the microprocessor! Somehow updated sports statistics and slightly retouched graphics are worth $50 a piece!



So to conclude in the order of least hate to most hate;
Halo, Sports games, Street Racing games.

What?... not the most hated game thread?... most over rated game thread?... repeating everything you whisper to me makes me look even more foolish?

I don't like said games either, but are you aware that it is actually a game, and that the little computerised pedestrians and rival cars aren't actually real...therefore no endangering of lives.

It's like complaining that launching a nuke in Civ is going to cause the deaths of thousands of people...as they're not real!

 

[madviking]

Final Fanasy
AoE series
Any sports game

 

[DBear]

@PrinceScamp--ToEE is Temple of Elemental Evil, which if I recall was horribly buggy when it came out and support was minimal. I can still find it at Wal-Mart for $10, so it might be worth a look if properly patched.

 

[puglover]

Whoa. Seems everyone hates Halo. I disagree. It may not be unique, but it's still great fun. Halo 2 is probably overrated though.

Empire Earth 2 is overrated. It was a junky game. Wow, the same old Empire Earth except the snow blocks the screen.

I guess you got a point. I guess I sort of lapsed from my opinion on street racing games and actual street racing itself.

Final Fantasy 7

(most overrated game ever)

Lemme guess you've had a go on a mates game and done the bit at the start in the reactors. Cos otherwise you've got a serious problem to not like one of the best games of one of the best series ever.

 

[homeyg]

World of Warcraft definetely. The sad part is, I doubt there are many who realize why.

Yeah World of Warcraft sucks - and I hate when people pronounce it as 'wow'.

As for me, I'd say that basically all RTS and/or RPG games are overrated especially AoE.

Might I also add Halo (even though I've never played it and only seen someone else play it once, it's definitely talked about too much).

What does TOEE stand for?

TOEE means Temple of Elemental Evil D&D RPG by Atari

 

[Oblivious]

I'm with everybody else on the Halo series. It doesn't suck, but they really aren't anything terribly unique in the FPS genre. I'll take Battlefield 1942 or BF2 over Halo any day.

The game I'll bring to the table is Half Life 2. I like it, and it has some really good graphics and an OK storyline, but I didn't find it worthy of all the hype. If it could be considered on it's own merit (if there had never been a Half-Life 1), HL2 would be just another good FPS game, but nothing earth shattering. The physics engine can only hold your interest for so long. And don't even let me get started on Steam.
