Look, I know that in these threads people just choose the games that are the most critically acclaimed and say they are overrated. But Chrono Trigger really?... How can a game that does so much right possibly be overrated... Final Fantasy 6?... I know we all have opinions, but sometimes they have to be wrong haha...

Chrono Cross is superior to trigger in everyway but loading times.

6 is far from the best in the series but is heralded as the best.

Journey is the most overrated game of all time.

The Uncharted games, while good, do not do much for me anymore. The gameplay is just too shallow and easy.

Trigger and Cross are two of my favorite games, but trigger held up over time ALOT better over the years than cross did. To say cross is superior is stretching it. The story was extremely muffled in cross, the graphics look horrible now compared to trigger. I'll give it that it's music is fantastic, but so was trigger's. The battle system is the one thing about cross I'll agree is better. As for FF6, every game has it's cult following. I believe that 8 years ago people would say 7 is the best, but now 7 is hated. 9 was underrated, till it got overrated... personally I think 9 is the best...

halo franchise as a wholecampzor

I can agree with that Halo has got to be one of the slowest shooters I've ever played the pacing is awful. Other than that any of the new CoDs coming out are seriously overrated.

The only thing that is overrated is the word overrated.

But popular games I do not like are Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1, Half Life 2 Episode 2, Portal, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2 (never played hte original), Team Fortress 2, Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 1+2, Dragon Age Origins.

Thanks for proving my point, nothing but over hyperbolic dribble talk associated with this game. It's a good game, but it's not great. It has tonnes of problems and isn't even the best MGS game. Saying it's the ebst this gen is big talk considering some of the other well made heavy weights that we got

This! The only reason I managed to push myself through that awful, awful game is that it is a modern classic. But I hated almost every second (only fun part for me was screaming mantis bossfight, it was a bit clever). Boring clumsy, unsatisfying gameplay, interupted by waaay too long cutscenes.

It suffers from what may be the most convoluted piece-of-sh!t story I have ever come across in gaming. I couldn't stand a few of the characters and a lot of the cheesiness. And then there's the cut-scenes...

MGS3 quite honestly pisses all over it in terms of gameplay (I preferred many of the gameplay mechanics), story, characters, boss fights, music. It also has a perfect balance between actual gameplay and drawn out cut-scenes.

I still very (!) much enjoyed MGS4 but in many ways, it pales in comparison to its predecessor.

EDIT: The Boss is the best female game character of all time.

People naming MGS4? Really? I just finished it a month ago or so--after hearing the "playable movie" clause for so long I was surprised to find that the game has some of the most raw, dynamic gameplay of this entire gen.

MGS4 = arguably the best game I've ever played in my life.

It's all down to opinion, some will like it, some will love it, some will even hate it, just like any other game.

The powers are fvcking awful.

I was really looking forward to unlocking the power that allows for Cole to fly. My reaction after I had given said power a few spins: "meh.."

It's a shame because I really, really tried my best to like this game. I simply couldn't do it! It's an unbelievably unsatisfactory game.

Yeah it pretty much can go toe to toe with some of the best gameplay focused games out there, let alone the fact that it blows every past MGS game out of the water when you compare gameplay.

As for the "playable movie" hyperbole, all from fanboys and people who have never played the series before.

I find it disturbing that it took them so long to get decent shooting mechanics.

Attempting to aim and fire with a rifle in MGS3 is something no human being should ever have to endure. Ever.

Agreed. Storys aside, mgs4 has the most fleshed gameplay in the series.

MGS4 doesn't compromise the gameplay.

It's a 10 hour game, and a 10 hour movie, yes, but the gameplay is solid (hihi)

When I say a game is a movie and not a game, that means the gameplay is a shallow michael bay roller coaster ride (scripted, QTE, everything is context sensitive). I'm fine with actual cutscenes.

Yes! Amazingly responsive, fluid and satisfying compared to earlier iterations. You really feel like you are in full control! The camera was nigh perfect as well, if my memory serves me right.

Definately GTA4

Uncharted tows the line of Great and Overhyped... The gameplay was not as satisfying as I'd hoped, especially the gunplay.

Im not a massive Halo fan and I never saw the supurbness of it. HOping Halo 4 will change that.

I disagree. It can be played in a number of ways. They give you a battlefield, you must go from a to b, but it's up to the player on how to accomplish the task.

MGS4 doesn't compromise the gameplay.

It's a 10 hour game, and a 10 hour movie, yes, but the gameplay is solid (hihi)

When I say a game is a movie and not a game, that means the gameplay is a shallow michael bay roller coaster ride (scripted, QTE, everything is context sensitive). I'm fine with actual cutscenes.

I disagree. It can be played in a number of ways. They give you a battlefield, you must go from a to b, but it's up to the player on how to accomplish the task.

I think you need to read his post again

I think that's what he was trying to say.

Edit: I got Majored.

[QUOTE="ToScA-"] Flipping FANTGASTIC game (easily one of the best of the generation); but most certainly not a 10 from my point of view.ToScA-

Thanks for proving my point, nothing but over hyperbolic dribble talk associated with this game. It's a good game, but it's not great. It has tonnes of problems and isn't even the best MGS game. Saying it's the ebst this gen is big talk considering some of the other well made heavy weights that we got

It suffers from what may be the most convoluted piece-of-sh!t story I have ever come across in gaming. I couldn't stand a few of the characters and a lot of the cheesiness. And then there's the cut-scenes...

MGS3 quite honestly pisses all over it in terms of gameplay (I preferred many of the gameplay mechanics), story, characters, boss fights, music. It also has a perfect balance between actual gameplay and drawn out cut-scenes.

I still very (!) much enjoyed MGS4 but in many ways, it pales in comparison to its predecessor.

EDIT: The Boss is the best female game character of all time.

Well at least you're not completely stupid
