Then you should have made that clear in your initial post. In no way did I think halo is the best FPS on the consoles. You just assumed I did. :|

Verge_6

You made the biggest flaw challenging my opinion on Halo being overrated. I don't just make fanboyish claims for nothing. I actually base my opinons off facts.

When you say Halo is overrated, you mean that you disagree with the review scores as whole. If you mean you think it's not the greatest FPS on all time, then you must, logically, say so. I'm not a psychic, believe it or not. If anyone's made a mistake, it's you for not making yourself clear.

Maybe you don't assume and ask questions? After all, this is a discussion board.

Kinda like you assumed I though Halo was the best FPS ever? I'm through with this. I have better things to do than engaging in childish bantering.

It doesn't mean I hate the game though. This needs to be addressed.

Admittedly, I've only played the original, but I just couldn't stand it. It was dull, sterile, and just plain uninteresting. It was a joyless game. Even Halo, a series I consider quite overrated, I had some fun with. R&C? Nothing.Verge_6

The second Ratched and Clank is much better. I suggest you give it a runthough if you can.

Really? I'll have to give it a try if I can find it cheap.

It's much better, trust me. I can understand you being not fond of the series if you've only played the first one. I wasn't too fond of it either.

agreed. b-rated dialog in a soap opera story.

I agree as well. The original was good, but it fell off after that.

Going Commando and UYA are my two favorite games of all time. Your weapons level up and there is a perfect blend of platforming and shooting. I did not like the first one or Deadlocked (no Insomniac Museum?!?!), but SIze Matters on the PSP is pretty good too.

I enjoyed Size Matters as well. Had some kickass advertisements going for it too. :lol:

When is the last time you heard anybody said that Halo was the greatest game of all time. Seriously Fanboys. I'll bet if halo was a multiplat game no one would even consider it overated. I mean how can you call a game that's in the top 10 best games overated. Halo is a very good game that deserved the scores :|

there no such thing as being overrated.

if it held in high esteem by a majority, then it is greatly worth that hype. If you disagree, you are a bitter fanboy in a very small minority.

Oh what a shock someone who thinks it's Halo. I'm going to say Final Fantasy untill 11 and 12 it was the same F***ing thing over and over + rehashes and people lap it up. 11 has a breath of fresher air and 12 was the same for SP but in the end it was just a new coat of paint. Now if it aint broke don't fix it but if it ain't improving why keep scoring it the same?

Your argument summarized: More people agree with me so I must be right.

My argument summarized: Bull****. My opinion is the result of my experience and how it fits my preferences. You disagree? Good for you. Now don't tell me why I think what I think.

Final Fantasy. The last one Ithought was great was VI (though IX was pretty good). Once the series moved to the Playstation, it fell off a cliff IMHO. And yet, people seem to treat every new FF game like the second coming. It can stay on the PS3 for all I care.

Lying is the way of the fanboy, which this poster is fantastic example of. I thought he said he bases his posts or opinions off of facts?? Where are the facts for Halo not being "good", or "fun".

Mario.

They tweak a few things each gen, and the Nintendo fans act like they have never seen a mario game before in there live's. It's the same guy with the red hat people get over it.

Exactly, but what I'd like to know is, what kind of a person would you have to be to have an INTENSELY warped and distorted view, and then BELIEVE IT. It's scary.

It was VIII for me. After that, *ppthbt*. Square seems to have lost its touch. Here's hoping XIII changes all that.

I can't pick just one game. -Halo 1 had a boring campaign, but online multiplayer on the PC version was addictive-therefore, I only find it slightly overrated. Halo 2 didn't improve on the campaign any, and the multiplayer was severely dumbed down, so I'd say that it's overrated. -I haven't played enough of the series to make a proper judgment call, but Final Fantasy seems rather overrated. I'm willing to take it as far as Square Enix being overrated in general, since they seem to have lost their touch since the SNES days. (Why can't they make a proper Seiken Densetsu game anymore, for instance?) -I may be a Nintendo fan, but I'm starting to feel that good old Mario and Zelda are getting somewhat stale. -I didn't play Half-Life 1 back when it was new, so I don't get why everyone thinks that it's so great. It seems mediocre to me. Half-Life 2 was fun, but mostly because of the Zero-Point Energy Field Manipulator; I thought the game was too linear, and that maybe everyone's overrating it a bit. (HL2 has spawned plenty of good mods, though, so I don't regret owning it.) Those are the major ones, anyway.
