It's pointless because your favorite franchise is on the list? That's just playing the fanboy.

I actually agree with a lot of those. Maybe not for the same reasons, but still agree.

I don't see Final Fantasy as being overrated. In fact it's pretty popular these days to hate on Final Fantasy it seems. I personally like all of the Final Fantasy games (I don't consider them the least bit overrated); I can understand why some people dislike them, but even most people who dislike Final Fantasy games give them their dues as well-polished games with great production values and a high level of craftsmanship.

Oh yeah, and did I mention that they're reasoning for thinking Final Fantasy is overrated is totally ridiculous. "Oh no! It's not more of the same, so it's just got to be overrated!" (*Scans the rest of the article*) Wait...Pokemon? "Oh no! It's more of the same, so it's got to be overrated!" Yeah, this list is pretty pointless.

Is it me or did they just pick basically the best selling games and call them over rated? I agree with the list but I would have added MGS:P

And I think Planet Xbox360's writers are the equivalent of me setting up a room full of monkeys on typewriters.

Series like FF just attracts lots of anime fans and cosplayers. I'm not sure that makes it overrated.

ummmm the best selling games are the most popular, and being popular would make it overrated to some.

So fun = overrated? Now I know. :roll:

What's smart is making the article go five pages in a list of 10, so there are more ads for the reader to see.

STOP! I already said thats not the reason, jeez. ANY top 10 overrated games with ANY games is a pointless list. Having games like FF, GoW, GTA, and heck, even Halo makes it a stupid list besides pointless.

I'm not defending the list, but I believe you're confusing intelligence with an opinion. Having any game series or franchise on the list doesn't make the list stupid; it's just one person's opinion, that's all. Pointless I'll give you, because these kinds of lists don't really do anything except bait a bunch of people to start mouthing off about how inaccurate the list is or whatever. But no, the article writer saying Halo or Final Fantasy or God of War overrated doesn't automatically make the list stupid.

Given an undue amount of credit for quality or merit in a field; not necessarily related to popularity

Google: define: overrated.

It gets too much credit for what it is.

Guitar hero and rockband are "good games" and "highly rated franchises"? I guess. You guys (and this article) seem to be confusing "overrated" with "popular." A game (and/or franchise) can be a terrible, pointless, ridiculous excuse for hedonism and apathy, that only a loser would actually think is a "good game" let alone (eventually) part of a "well established, acclaimed franchise" (like guitar hero), and still be popular. It's a little unclear as to what the article means by "overrated," as they don't provide a clear context of this somewhat vague description. They try to, but the criteria they use are (almost entirely) subjective and/or don't make sense... as they say that a single game's "review scores" in the franchise would make the entire franchise "overrated." Going by "ratings," as in, reviews from professional video game critics :lol: then I guess this list (kind of) makes sense... however... the article's reasons for virtually every one of these franchises being "overrated" seem to be that the games within them are simply the exact same thing with updated graphics or an extra game mode... which is true... but it has little to do with whether or not the franchise as a whole is "overrated" and/or why it is indeed, "overrated." It seems like the article is beyond an editorial. Rather, this is a blog post, at best. Anyway, yeah this list is stupid, the author does not know much about journalism, or (seemingly) what they're writing about, and guitar hero is a terrible stupid thing that is not even a video game, let alone an "overrated" franchise.

Define "a long long time" please. There have only been two entries in the Final Fantasy franchise that I've considered bad (Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy X-2). Final Fantasy X is pretty widely regarded as one of the best, so at best people might feel that the decline started with Final Fantasy XI. That wasn't really a "long long time" ago.

Dragonball Z seems like an odd choice considering DBZ games are barely talked about these days and the older ones were actually really good.

i haven't played any of them since FFX. i can say though, that i'm cautiously optimistic with XIII.
