Ok, we all know there are lots of bad games out there, but generally speaking really bad games don't come with a lot of hype. When a game is super-hyped, we naturally have higher expectations - expectations that are not always met. Anyway, what game do you think has the biggest "hype-gap" - the distance between what the promo machine would have us believe & the actual value of the game? I nominate FEAR, Gears & Madden to start......

This thread is just begging for someone to write halo 3 so ill get it done out the way. Im a neutral gamer so Im not saying this because Im a fan boy but seriously I have played both halos and they are both standardised FPS (moreso with 2) And considering from what I have seen from this game this is looking as gimicky and as overrated as halo 2 if not more so.

Halo 3

Looks just like halo 2 and plays just like it. Why spend another $60 on the same game? I was in beta/

I agree on Rock band but only because that is going to get mighty expensive due to what you need to play it but I kinda like guitar here (Im waiting till christmas for a price drop so I can get the ps2 version and to mods who start screaming at that statemantIM NOT TROLLING I am actually considering a move to xbox 360 once price cuts start coming thick and fast)

Halo series in general, but also gears of war (multiplayer). I like both games and have owned both halos and gear of war. . . but I think they were both a little over hyped. Halo 3 is off the meter right now and can't possibly live up to the expectations. Even if its a good game I think people will still complain because theres so much hype right now.

I'm surprised that Gears was voted so many times as being overhyped. I loved the game, a little short, and the multiplayer isn't up to par, but still a great game. I can already tell that Halo 3 is going to be though, unless they pulled some innovative technology out.

Yea, Halo 3 is the most over hyped game i think. It will be a good game and all, but with all the hype its getting, NO game could ever live up to those expectations.

I'm kind of thinking Call of Duty 4. I'm gonna get flamed for this but i don't see what the bug deal is. The graphics are pretty good but it just looks likethe same old call of duty with a new coat of paint. I'm probably going to get it and it will be fun but i don't htink that this is GOTY material.

No idea but i fail to see how Bioshock was overhyped. It had very little hype until the reviews came and said OMG its great. Once it comes out its no longer hype. The market gets it and reacts and they loved it. Sure some people hate it but hell some people hate stanley kubricks 2001 still no denying its a masterpeice. Also gears is a great game to.

I dont understand whats going on. Its seems when someone says overhyped people pick the popular game everyone likes and says its overhyped and is bad cause it makes them feel special. The majority of people love Gears and Bioshock.

I mean you have games like tenchu z, Madden 07, and shadowrun.

This thread is just begging for someone to write halo 3 so ill get it done out the way. Im a neutral gamer so Im not saying this because Im a fan boy but seriously I have played both halos and they are both standardised FPS (moreso with 2) And considering from what I have seen from this game this is looking as gimicky and as overrated as halo 2 if not more so.rety5

i was thinking like you until the released all the new stuff about Halo 3. For one CO OP will be bad ass, for two FORGE WILL BE BADASS, for three Map editor will be BAD ASS, For four making ur on sparan will be BAD ASS, for five HALO 3 will be BAD ASS.

BTW THE MOST OVER HYPED GAME IS GEARS, I loved the first one. I just dont kno how the gameplay can be any different for the sequel.

in case you didn't know before now, the button under enter/caps lock is te shift key. It makes letters capitol, and that doesn't make people listen to you more. It makes you look stupid.

FEAR for sure. Never played such a boring, mediocre shooter. Tired gameplay, bad graphics... I don't see the appeal.

Honourable mention to Rainbow Six for the same reason.

Although Dead Rising was the first game that came to mind. It could've been great but was killed by the stupid save system and unresponsive controls.

I have to say Halo 3, like many people said... I have a problem with Halo, I like the games (specially the first), I played the first two, but I just can't see what makes this game so beyond other good FPSs (like call of duty series and half life series, the best IMO). I had this problem once, long time ago... When Coppola released that movie, Dracula. That was a huge hype about the movie and I was really excited about it because it was a Coppola movie... Well, I saw the movie and it was really disapointing, I didn't like it... But after I while I realise I was the only person who didn't like it, among my friends and the whole media... I thought that was something wrong with me and I went to the movies again, few days after, to see the movie. Still the same... Unfortunately... I have the same feeling about halo 2... I played it again few weeks ago and the game is ok... The graphs are actually mediocre (although GS gave 9!!!) if compare with games released at that time (like half life 2 or Doom 3)... Maybe is just me... I don't know...

Have you played the COD4 beta the gameplay is awesome and the graphics are pretty much just as good or better than any game out right now.

Gears Of War was way overhyped in my opinion.

I just want to know why everyone is saying bioshock. I have yet to play full game and don't plan on getting it, atleast for awhile however it really only got hyped after the game came out because it was such a good game according to so many people.

Halo 3 I would say is quite hyped however over hyped? most likly it is but there no way to tell for sure as the game is not released yet.
