What games do you find incredibly overrated?

Half life 2

For the amount of praise dumped on that game I find it weak in every area that make a shooter a shooter.

Every big game on consoles this gen. You know, like Halo, Gears, MGS, Killzone etc.

1: MGS4. Excessively long and boring cutscenes sucked me right out of the game rather than took me deeper in. A 10 it is not.

2: NMH: Deeply flawed, terrible overworld andhorribly tediousside quests. A 9? More like a 7.5, 8 if you're feeling generous.

3: AC: This game got so horribly repetitive that it actually became a chore to continue to play. Not a AAA tier game. Not only that, I didn't really think it was all that great on any level, just an average (apart from the visuals) and often times tedious experience.I would've given it a 6.5 or a 7.0.

4: GTAIV. I had a good time playing this game, but much like MGSIV I would not have given this one a 10. Maybe 9.0 - 9.5. Still great, just not that great.

5: Halo 3. Shouldn't be a 9.5. In my book 9.5 is very, very close to being AAAA quality. I had a good time playing it, but I would've given it an 8.5 or a 9.0 instead.

6: All the COD games. Yep, all of 'em.

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"]Basically this except replace GTA4 with Fallout 3 Also, you switched back to your old sig. Awesome.RobbieH1234

The Emmy nominations yesterday drove me to it. The complete snubbing of The Shield reminded me of The Wire, and here we are. Justin Timberlake has more nominations. :|

halo and gta 4 no doubt

FFX, I freaking hate that game

avatar_genius

I don't.

I love it.

In fact, I'm playing it right now.

What's your opinion on the other Final Fantasys?

Yeah I seen the nominations on Rotten Tomatoes and it makes me sick knowing that The Shield got the exact same treatment as The Wire did. It's becasue of that why I think the Emmy's have no credibility whatsoever, a complete joke. I don't want to rant on this subject or else it would be very long, but I understand completely. At least Generation Kill got some nods.mo0ksi

Ugh.

Ugh.

Call Of Duty 4 is ridicolously overrated.

I figured coming in that this would be a Halo bashing thread, and sure enough the first three posts mention Halo.

So predictable around here...

as for me, I'd say anything with Mario in it andMetal Gear Solid.

Halo, sure it's got good multiplayer... but there are plenty of games with good multiplayer... it don't make it the best game ever.... also GTAIV

TBoogy

Ya, no kidding.

Halo Combat Evolved, not that it is a bad game but I don't understand why people always keep praising it as one of the heights in FPS history. There were very little guns which were mainly point and shoot weapons, level design varied from very good to horrible and repetitive. And even though it offered alot of multiplayer options it wasn't avaliable for online play since Xbox Live wasn't created yet.

Just because it's good doesn't make it overrated?

Gears of war series- Crap single player and story coupled with glitch filled broken MP and yet lemmings hype it to the moon :?

MGS - Terrible gameplay, story and characters plusMGO is total garbage

CoD series after 4- Yearly rehash of the same game with a new coat of pain, newbified gameplay and one new game mode yet they charge FULL price for it ?

Fallout 3 and Oblivion - Both buggy, both got boring and repetitive both overrated
Mass Effect - Had some bugs (not sure with 360 version), incredibly stupid AI, weak gunplay, broken melee system, overrated
