Most overrated game.....

I generally don't compare 2D and 3D games because 2D games can't really be beat can they? I mean its been what 25 years and Pac man and space invaders still rule half the world. And well Link to the past is on handheld not console and I don't compare handheld to console either. Best 2D Zelda Link to the past! Best 3D Zelda Ocarina of Time! Its that simple! for Nintendo all there actual games were at their very best when they were on N64, the sequels on gamecube and Wii are great but not as great. I know about GTA4, Rockstar released it with the bare minium hoping to upgrade it with the damn downloads...what they should have done was take there finger out and actually make a bloody full game...you know like they did in the old days when games were actually games and didn't try to be like some fake * films, do you honestly believe the gun battles were better in GTA4? whenever you stood near a wall Niko would hold his gun up, that was so annoying...in the middle of shooting something and he stops firing...idiot! You see a big problem I feel with todays games is they always lack something GTA4 lacked just about everything except graphics and physics, and they alone don't make a great game...they can sometimes, but not when making a GTA especially after San Andreas!. GTA5 had best be San Andreas style, games should be getting better putting more onto them GTA4 did the complete opposite and it gets a 10/10....IGN is on crack! they are a bunch of fan boy, bum boys that can't get their lips away from Rockstars * hole for at least two minutes to actually play and rightfully judge GTA4 for what it truly is. 7.0/10 I took five points off because you reminded me that they didn't have tanks or jets! I don't want to play a damn film, I want a game...a good game that lasts, but well there are very few of those around and they decrease year after year...the last one I played I think was Oblivion...game like that only comes around once every 2 years and as a hardcore I can not live with 1 game every 2 years...my god I don't think I could contain the stress of actually looking at people and talking to them...my god! Lol.stike22

Call of Duty 4

so boring

Let's be honest, games are evolving to be more graphically advanced and less argumentative. In the end we have spectacular visual games and crappy stories, ruining all the fun:|. So, in my point of view:

Assassin's Creed: Overrated, very good graphics but repetitive gameplay and story, although the genetic memory concept is pleasing to sci-fi fans.

Oblivion: Main story line too short.

Halo games: I don't know. I just never saw much appeal in the game beyond the first one. The first one was fun to beat and play multiplayer for a while, but I lost interest in the games after that.

GTA games: Especially Part IV, I'm glad I played it at my cousin's house on his PS3. The gameplay seems exactly the same as when the series was on PS2, and it didn't impress me much back then either.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Hate me.

Link to the past was origionally released on the super nintendo it was re-released years later on the GBA.

Most of what you said about GTAIV was decent enough, but still kind of harsh. my only problem with the game is i could have come up with ideas better then rockstar for that game lol...

Quite true what you say. Assassin's Creed story as well as concept were innovative. Perhaps what I missed in it was the length of gameplay, challenge and variety of settings found in other games. The idea of making open-ending games is also another thing I don't appreciate, as recently repeated in Prince of Persia. But that's just my opinion:D

street fighter

I just cannot get into them I wanted to badly but I just couldnt love them

god of war any of them, i mean i have the 1st one and it is good but not great. FF9 and FF12, 9 is good but not one of the best and 12 had one of the worst battle system ever to me and was extremely hard. star wars knight of the republic, halo 1,2, and 3 but i will say halo 3 is good just not a masterpiece. Gears of war 2, gears of war 1 was a masterpiece but 2 was just more of the same. awesome game though. eternal sonata, another great game but blue dragon, lost odyssey, and tales of vesperia are much better. madden 2002, madden 2009 is the best yet. oh yeah star ocean 2, even for its time it is just a good game, star ocean till the end of time is best yet the only problem is the storyline twist at the end and if the last hope is as good as tales of vesperia it will be light years ahead of star ocean 2 and 3. oh yeah this is my last one.... wild arms 3 i hate this got damn game it is jsut terrible.jayz96

FF9 and FF12, 9 is good but not one of the best..jayz96

how is FFIX over-rated? it is usually the least well regarded FF game on the PS1 lol. its still personal opinion because IX is my favorite in the series lol (most people dislike it compared to the others on PS1). point being game needs to be hyped to be over rated and it is rarely ever mentioned ahead of any other FFs, more like its under-rated?

IGN wrote an article debating whether Ocarina of Time is overrated. I say only slightly because there are other stellar Zelda games, including Link To The Past. What do you think the most overrated game of all time is?

I think Halo games, God of War games, Call of Duty games are generally overrated. But the most overrated game off all time has got to be Final Fantasy VII. I do like the game and I think it has the best combat system in the series. But the story has to be one of the worst in the series and the games graphics have aged poorly. I rather be in the medieval themes of IV and V, the steampunk theme of VI, the european futuristic theme of VIII, the classic theme of IX, the south asian tropical theme of X, and the sky city theme of XII than be in the ugly cyberpunk theme of VII. Only some setpieces in VII look great, such as the Ancient City where Aerith is killed and Yuffie's town. The story has little heart (except for some scenes), unlike the other FF games, ESPECIALLY VI and X. While the killing of Aerith was stunning and well done, its not like they haven't killed playable characters before, some characters in II, alot of characters in IV including twin kids Porom and Palom, a party member in V, Shadow and Gogo in VI. Other than a couple of scenes with Aeris and Tifa, the game has no heart. The story is also heavily metaphysical and confusing, unlike VI's simpler but more effective story. Barrett is just an awful character and the translation is poor as well. Sephiroth is also an overrated villian, a cool looking one, but he is no Kefka. But when the game came out, I liked it. Like I said, the battles are well done and revolutionary, although the summons last way to long. But after I beaten it twice and played the newer ones as well as VI, I just don't connect to it as much as the others, and it is the story and characters. XIII needs to be like VI, light on the metaphysics (enough to tell the story), but heavily on the humanity.

• MGS4
• GTA IV
• Assassins Creed
• BioShock

For whatever reasons, these games didn't live up to their to hype to me. Yes, they are good games, but they didn't capture me as they did with other games.

Halo 3 and GTA 4

WoW...

Everyone was like: ''OMGZORS BUY IT NOW! AWESOME GAME!''
so i download trial and almost puked my guts all over the floor.

disgusting

Final Fantasy VII, when people claim it to be the best RPG (or even J-RPG) it makes me cringe.

Although I agree with a quite alot of what the OP says about FF7 I disagree about Barret. If anything he's an underated character, disregarded because of the way he speaks. ("Ain't no gettin' offa' this train..." for example) When you dig beneath his exterior and actually take note of the points he's trying to put across he's a pretty good character. He's oftenly taking jabs at Cloud throughout the game too which usually puts a smile on my face atleast.

The Orange Box (except for portal, portal's great)

I think that its great that valve is re- releasing HL2 and its subsequent episodes + portal + TF2, but i dont think it deserved EVEN CLOSE to the praise it got.

overrated alert : Killzone 2texasgoldrush

agreed

Halo and all its series1945spitfire

I disagree that all of halo is overrated, i just think that all of the annoying fan boys and 10 year olds ruined it for everybody else.

With that saidtho, i agree that Halo 3 while good, did fall short.
