Top 10 Most Overpraised Games on System Wars

10.Super Smash Bros. Brawl --------------- Nintendo Wii.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the most hyped game of all time. It, however, turned out to be Super Smash Bros. Melee with graphics of higher quality. The acclamation that it was granted, however, was unbelievable.

09.The Gran Turismo name --------------- Sony PlayStation.

Look, the PlayStation lovers love to state that this is the greatest racing series of all time. This, on the other hand, is reality: Forza and Forza 2 scored higher than the two latest Gran Turismo games. Forza 3 attained a 9.5. For what reason is Gran Turismo 5 being hyped, exactly? They act as if it's an A-bomb that will eradicate the entire world population once released.

08.The God of War brand --------------- Sony PlayStation.

OK - I'm not fond of this franchise, but you don't need to be in order to discover how much undeserving praise this one gets. The majority would agree that God of War "owns" Gears of War - I really don't need to say more.

06.Killzone 2 --------------- Sony PlayStation 3.

Sony fans state that this is the Halo killer and one of the greatest games in the first-person shooter genre. Do you need more? :lol: If it weren't for the graphics, this game wouldn't have been hyped - at all.

05.Super Mario Galaxy --------------- Nintendo Wii.

Super Mario Galaxy is a good adventure game, but taking into account that it lacks original characters, an original plot and gorgeous graphics, it is not worthy of a 9.5, and it's not one of the best games ever, like Nintendo fans like to claim.

04.The Uncharted series --------------- Sony PlayStation 3.

Just like Metal Gear Solid 4, the Sony geeks passionately hates anyone who happens to dislike the Uncharted series. They state Uncharted 2 is the most excellent game ever, but what they probably did was return the game after completing the campaign once. Yes, it's a good adventure game, but the best game ever? :lol:

03.Anything Half-Life-related --------------- PC.

Yes, it's revolutionary, but do I truly need to give a reason for this? Here on System Wars, it seems to be a fact that Half-Life is the best first-person shooter ever. You're not entitled to your own opinion. I wouldn't be astounded if a moderator suspended you for claiming that you hold Halo superior.

02.The Metal Gear Solid franchise --------------- Sony PlayStation.

Without question, the Metal Gear Solid franchise is one of the most overrated here on System Wars. You can't criticize it properly without being bashed to death. The majority of the Sony nerds state Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best game ever, but it's just a relatively good third-person shooter accompanied by charming graphics, an atrocious multiplayer and a weird story line. Not to mention the lazy controls and the load times.

01.Crysis --------------- PC.

This is perhaps the most overrated game of all time. It has been discussed to death. PC enthusiasts state it's the one of the most unique and revolutionary first-person shooters of all time, but what they're talking about is the graphics only. How many gamers till play it today? It didn't possess a multiplayer good enough to please the players after they finished the low-quality campaign. The characters are shallow and the plot is generic. You think you deserve this, Crytek?

Brawl is nothing like Melee.

Also like how there's no mention of Halo...or any 360 title.

missing some 360 games on there....

So Galaxy is overpraised and no 360 game isn't? (mostly Halo)

:lol:

Something about this list is fishy

Where the hell did you find that KZ2 screen shot? Is that even from the right game?

No Halo = Instant FAIL. Halo is the absolute winner here.RedruM_I

I don't get it. How the hell can Halo be on the "OVERPRAISED Games on SYSTEM WARS" list when all people do some System Wars is talk smack about it? Am I missing something or are fanboys seeing this as an opportunity to talk smack about it?

Two things.

Firstly, these days if somebody brings up Crysis; it's probably not a PC gamer. The vast majority of '### vs. Crysis' threads are started by console gamers with tall poppy syndome (and wouldn't you know it, you're thread is a lovely example). PC gamers got over Crysis two years ago.

Secondly, no, it's not graphics only. Convieniently, people like you looking to undermine Crysis forget it received almost unanimous praise for its unique gameplay and non-linear gamestyle, and received Shooter of the Year over Halo 3, COD4 and Bioshock on those merits. If you're going to criticise a game, at least generate some valid criticisms.

The rest of your list was just as bad to be honest, but I thought I'd save us all some time and debunk the absolute worst argument you made.

Terrible, terrible list.

I laughed when you said SMG wasn't good because it lacked "original plot and characters". Hmm, reminds me a little of Halo, which mysteriously didn't make the cut.

Nice PS3 pics and choices, I think you've just helped sell somemore PS3s. :lol:

I'm surprised you put GOW KZ2 and SSBB over Halo. It's not necessarily overrated but compared to the rest of this list...

Because of statements like "brought FPS to consoles", "most innovative FPS", "best FPS ever". Not statements that I have seen only once or twice, In fact, I still see them weekly.

You or I can still enjoy the game but there is no doubt that it is the most ridiculously overpraised game I have ever seen.

I enjoyed playing Halo but having played FPS from the beginning of the genera, I find it to be a good FPS.. no more, no less.

Hmm, reminds me a little of Halo, which mysteriously didn't make the cut.

dont forget that this list is about overpraised games on system wars by the majority and not about the quality of every game. this list is spot on and halo isnt on it because halo is not praised on system wars.

Yes, you're absolutely missing something. Mainly the rapid Halo worship.

Two examples I found in threads on the first two pages: (notice in both examples they're stated by the same topic creator, who also created THIS thread).

In this one, the TC of this thread names Halo the most revolutionary FPS of all time.

In this one, Molyneaux is quoted calling Halo one of the most influential games of the past 20 years.

Halo is a great franchise, but it isn't either of those things.

ssbb is NOT meelle at all. it has more characters, better graphics, better story. what more could you want? and very funny that their is NO 360 title in that list.in other words, that list

geighlaxy Ratchet_Fan8

any oppurtunity to bash the wii huh?

Crysis at number one? Absolutely. I don't really agree all that much with some of the other choices but Crysis at no. 1 is spot on.

Too bad you claim that the only people to like certain games are fanboys of that console. I don't like the Wii but SMG is one of my top 5 games of all time. And God of War is overpraised for people liking it more than Gears of War? Um... yeah...

I smell a 360 fanboy.

I wonder why I am not surprised to find Crysis, HL etc on this thread and not Halo or Gears --- must have something to do with TC's previous post I suppose

Yeah, Halo is the most underrated franchise on System Wars.

KZ2,Crysis,geighlaxy, agreed. No 360 exclusives eh?... hmmm... Ratchet_Fan8

There are overrated Xbox 360 games, as well. Like Gears of War 2 and Mass Effect 2. But compared to these, they're nothing.

It's the same old. Nintendo doesn't know how to evolve Super Mario.

:lol: you clearly haven't played SMG. Its one of the most innovative games this gen, while U2 is the least innovative AAA this gen

That's a pretty bad list, a lot of those games shouldn't be there, especially SMG.

How long has it been since Super Smash Bros. Brawl was mentioned on system wars? I've actually never witnessed it myself. I also noticed that you bashed Super MArio Galaxy's graphics. I find that odd since it is the only Wii game that you can compare to the HD consoles and get away with it.

It's gorgeous! I just wish there was a single Wii game that looked half as good as this one. It's the perfect combo of tech and art direction!

^^ Btw, your sig is amazing. No More Heroes is probably my favorite game on the Wii. So badass.

I have played all those games, and completed the majority of them. They're freaking overrated.

Pokémon and Super Mario are presumably the most unoriginal series this generation. :?

Lemming much. IMHO, Unchated 2 is the only game this gen truly deserving of such high scores. SMG shouldn't be up there. Its a great game, but who still talks about it. God of War, wait til release. The first 2 were amazing! I see the 3rd being AAA.

Now wheres Gears, Halo, and Forza. Maybe not Forza but c'mon!

Brawl is nothing like Melee.
