MOST OVER rated game ever!!!!

I thought Fable was over-rated.

It was hyped for so long and I waited forever... for nothing.
 
Empire Earth 2: PC Gamer calls it the new "RTS daddy" and gave it 95 or summat. I call it the same EE with a prettier and laggier graphics engine

Anything by Blizzard: Starcraft was boring, Warcraft 3 et al was boring, Diablo 2 never wanted to work.

The Sims 2: Got it last year at Christmas (hey, almost a year ago). Bored me after a week or so, and I played Rome Total War happily in its stead. The ex pack didnt help the situation either.

Doom 3: Pretty, but not scary.

FEAR: Laggy, not scary.

I have to agree, such a rubbish game and AoE ( 2 ) is the RTS daddy.
 
See. I think halo 2 is definitely not overrated.

1. It sold a system.
2. It is one of the best rated games of all time.
3. It was talked about like crazy, which means overhyping, but in its case, it means it really is a good game.

Halo 2 redefined console online play (wait, did it ever have online?), and redefined the shooter. It is probably the most polished game ever, leaving nothing behind, and has a great assortment of everything needed: weapons, vehicles, A.I., and gametypes to name a few. The game is probably talked about a bit too much, but I can't really say that I'd rather do anything else when I have a few friends over and we want to play a game together.

Final Fantasy 7. Also sold a system. It defined 3-D games and special effects in games. People were astounded by the looks of the game. It's like the original Star Wars. High on fluff, like music and effects, even though the story and the other parts may be lacking. The original star wars clearly isn't overrated, unless I'm really missing something.

Both games are really good games, and even though people here are PC gamers, don't diss those games because you don't like that it gets more attention than your beloved Civ games. Civ games are good, I'll even say some of my favorites, but Halo 2 and Final Fantasy VII are just as good.
 
I also love Halo 2. Its MP alone makes it not overrated IMO.

I hate to be that guy, but Civ 4 is my honest response here. I have played it for a month and just dont see where all the good reviews come from. I am not trolling. I don't hate Civ I just think 4 gets more good reviews based off of graphics mixed with a reviewers small amount of time to play it. Over time, for me, this game just gets dull and reptative more than any other CIV as it stands.

That said, I do hold hope for expansions and patches to improve. But until I see it, this game is my 'most overrated'.

If you hate me for saying so, it still doesnt make it not my opinion.

Here are some others though as well:
Crash Bandicoot
Majesty (A King with little control over his army? C'mon)
Myst 2 and up.
FFXI Online. (A vast world to explore, btw you cant jump. A pet pieve to me is saying that a 1 foot tall rock is blocking me and I cant jump over it. Poor environment design)
Burnout series. (except the "biggest crash" part, but that cant compensate a whole game.)
 
Killzone for PS2... was supposed to be the PS2's equivelent to Halo(not a big fan of it myself, but still is pretty fun)

Game ended up sucking total you-know-what. The new Brothers in Arms game is pretty crappy as well.

Halo and Halo 2. I can't understand how people think of these as the greatest, most perfect games ever made.

Yep there alright but hardly life changing
 
Yeah, Halo and Halo 2 were overhyped. Halo sold a system, but that doesn't necissarily mean it is an awesome game. Sure, they are fun, but I can name at least 5 multiplayer games that I enjoy playing more. They hardly added anything to the genre that wasn't already there. And there were dissapointments, (can anyone say "two-weapon" mode?). I wouldn't be so hard on it if it wasn't so hyped, though.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Metal Gear Solid. I like it and all; but the thing is that it isn't really as innovative as it has been made out to be. There are too many things in the game that were simply ripped straight from Metal Gear 2, gameplay-wise. Specifically, the race up the tower and having to fight four tougher-than-usual soldiers while trapped in an elevator. And this was also the game where the series started taking a turn toward the absurd, both in terms of plot and boss villains. Mind control? RUNNING while both firing a helicopter-sized minigun and carrying approximtely 500 lbs of equipment on one's back? A blond-haired, green-eyed Kurdish woman who doesn't zip up her jumpsuit when she's in ALASKA, for God's sake? Not to mention who thinks she's a dog in a fairly literal sense? And of course the ridiculous eugenics-and-genetic engineering subplot.

The only things out of whack in the original two games were, as far as I can remember, two bosses from the second game (a teleporting ninja and an invisible guy with a machine gun), and of course the fact that the last boss's existence means he survived a nuclear explosion at the end of the first one.
 
I'd just like to say that these are people opinions and anyone else redign this thread should view it as so. It should not be offensive to anyone even if you disagree, which you have the freedom to.

As for my $0.02, I would definitely have to say Fable. Come on, It is so linear, though there are linear games that are good. They said you could do anything and your choices would "really" affect your character. Yeah right. No wonder I didn't buy it. Now as for the guy who said Morrowind :mad: ;) :mischief:

Now the FF series I totally don't like just because they never draw me in but I say especially FF7 is really really really good. :crazyeye: But I still don't like it. :p Something with the plot and characters turns me off (Or maybe cuz its on a Playstation console :) )
