MOst overrated games?

The Halo series...

Ialso foundHalf-Life 2 to be very overrated...maybe because I played it on a 360?

Crysis. Good game, just not life changing like some people make it out to beFrenzyd109

MGS4

I may not like a great game, but it's not overrated. There is no such thing as a overrated game.

Crysis for sure. Crappy backgroundstory and a even crappier ending.

Halo 3 ODST and Modern Warfare 2 so much. sigh. Thats why people should just go with their opinions. Oh and theres far cry 2

Take any list of "Best Games of all time" and you'll find many games that are just plain average on those lists .

FF VII

Half Life 2

Deus Ex

Doom

all good games,some groundbreaking in certain parts but great no not really .

You can say what you want about those games but those are pretty revolutionary games.

FFVII brought JRPGs to the mainstream in the west and was perhaps the first major game to revolutionize CG movies with the game's story, Halo revolutionized console FPS and multiplayer for consoles and literally saved Microsoft's endeavor into console gaming, and God of War revolutionized the action/adventure genre by fusing the best of Japanese and western game design elements in a successful and big way. God of War 2 being the best action/adventure game during its release on a last-gen system is a testament to how amazing the series really is.

I agree with the people who said Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Call Of Duty games were over-rated.

You know, some games I play and I think "this really isn't my thing, but I certainly see why some people think this is brilliant". Had that moment with Call of Duty 4 when I tried it at a friend's house. But there are certain games that just simply aren't as good as people think. The best example? Final Fantasy VII. Incredibly shallow gameplay system, because there is very little you can do to develop your characters or alter them in meaningful ways. The materia system only really lets you define your characters as either fighters or spell-casters, while rewarding you a little if you experiment with combinations. Yet that system itself is incredibly binary; you either have a successful combination or not. Just because the combat system is fluid, and looks good, doesn't mean that there's anything under the hood. Then there's the story. Yes, there are elements that are intriguing. I was interested in the relationship between Sephiroth and Cloud, and some of the characters were interesting, but half of the supporting cast consisted of stereotyped, cardboard caricatures, and the ones that actually were somewhat interesting, Red XIII and Cait Sith in particular, were the ones that received the least screen time. The environmental themes were more than a touch preachy. Oh, and the translation was awful. It wouldn't start to turn the corner until Final Fantasy VIII. There are other flaws; inconsistent art style, strange animations, inconsistent pacing... and it's frustrating to see it possess so much acclaim when the games that came immediately before and after it in the series, are both infinitely better and far less popular, especially the oft-misunderstood Final Fantasy VIII.Oilers99

Before I would say the most overrated game was Halo 3, COD4, or FFVII....... But now it is Modern Warfare 2texasgoldrush

I agree, although I did get a lot more time out of halo 3 than the COD series. MW2 is a good game, but it's already growing stale for me.

Final fantasy seven.

It's bland? I played it and kept waiting for "TEH AWESOME!" to hit and it never did. The story was boring and I found it hard to follow, the characters unimaginative, the levels boring. I don't see what is so great about the game or what others see in it. To me it's just a generic shooter. I found games like bioshock and bloodlines to be far better. And when people throw around "best game ever made" "most revolutionairy game ever" "incredibly original" it's probably overrated.

Ohhhh I think this post will generate a flame or two directed at me by someone. But it's just my opinion. I never cared for HL2.

It is all about opinions ,i'm sure most of us have their favourite games which others sneer at ,but when ppl start defending games like HL2 (which i hate ),that is when you have to point out all of it's flaws.As a gamer i will play anything that holds my attention ,but to say that one game is best is too much . That game would have to be something special and sadly each game that you or i posses has it's flaws

Entire bloody game was just an excuse to force Steam on gamers

There are many great games, but some are jsut ok, but like bien overrate ya kno. which games u think they are. i personally think Final fantasy VII, god of war, and the halo series to be overrated NicaraoXXVII

Final fantasy VII is the best game ever made , you don't have a taste

but you are right about HALO , it's the worst shooting game i ever played , it seems that microsoft pays people to make them play the game :P

Wind Waker GTA4 MGS4BattleTurtles

you are right about GTA4 , every mission is "go kill him","go kill that" or "i don't like him ,go kill him" kill kill kill , that's what the game is all about

but how come you say MGS4 ???

it's the best game ever made on PS3 , didn't you play it?

Wind waker is also amazing , it's never overrated

Call of Duty games. The single player campaigns are awful and the multiplayer gets old after three rounds, though I did enjoy world at war. Halo series is overrated as well, the third game was just bad.monkeymoose5000

Every HALO game is bad , not just the third one

speaking of call of duty games . they are regular ,nothing special about them , but what's really cool about the series is "Modern Warfare" and "Modern Warfare 2" , i really enjoyed playing them

for your information , Modern warfare sold 13 million copies worldwide , how come it's overrated? it's not.

brutal legend, that game was brutal... ledgend...? yes that game was brutal legend... wut? wow was i really talking to my self... time to find a gf...unknown_hero8

the game is great , only for those who love rock and metal music , but i agree about the name , why did they call it Brutal legend? the name sucks

[QUOTE="BattleTurtles"]Wind Waker GTA4 MGS4theprototype0

Halo 2 & 3

Burnout franchise - I've tried these games, always they seemed total **** to me.

Half-Life franchise, though I loved TFC

CoD to some extent, though I know why it's so popular.

Little Big Planet

Resident Evil 5. Endless grind-fest with lazy monster/level design, underdeveloped co-op elements, outdated controls and little to no excitement to play it.
