Games that are so overrated

[MulticolorCharizard]

Devil May Cry and God of War.

Word to the wise, stylish =/= Fun.

 

[Daymo]

The new Medal of Honor

I'm really wondering how you can say this is overrated seeing as it got average reviews and sold averagly.

My opinion though would be Gta IV from looking at crtics and psychonauts from looking at the escapist. It could just be the hype for psychonauts but I didn't find it all that funny besides the milkman and found the platforming to be quite weak and annoying. Gta is a great game but it definitly wasn't a 10/10, it seemed like a step back to number 3 in all but the story and random stuff like watching TV.

The Search Bar,the overrated piece of shit.


OT: Still for me Half Life 2,it's not bad but people made it out to be the messiah of games.

 

[paronomasiac]

Yes, it's been said, but I'll say it again: Final Fantasy VII is severely overrated. There are some fantastic games in the series (VI and IX easily at the top), and yet VII gets all the attention.

Oh, and all FPS games. They all boil down to 'shoot a guy in the face' or 'shoot a guy in the face slightly differently.'

Edit: almost forgot Halo

halos only overrated in some areas

 

[Super Six One]

Tetris.

It's boooooring.

You take that back, Tetris rules! Its the only game i have on my phone and has occupied many of my hours when bored a work. haha

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Modern Warfare 2, Dead Rising 1+2 and Left for Dead 1+2 for me.

I may be misunderstanding the OP's intent, but these types of threads are really starting to get annoying. Everything is overrated, just as everything is underrated. It's all based on personal preference.

 

[JohanGasMask]

Halo 3.

 

[Grey_Focks]

Every game to ever exist ever.

 

[Harlemura]

LittleBigPlanet.
If it's so damn easy to build levels, why does all my stuff fall down every three seconds?!

 

[Ampersand]

God of war: It's about a third as good as most of the games that are supposedly clones of it.

Bioshock: I just don't get it, it's a weak FPS(extremely boring) and the environments are more dull and grayish brown then most shooters.

 

[Mr.Petey]

Global Defence Force. It's taught me the lesson that not all hype is to be believed.

Sure it's a cute functional straight shooter (except for the embaressing vehicle controls) for which I've always appreciated in your average arcadey shooter but...it just felt sub-standard somehow, falling well below my expectations

 

[Ampersand]

every game you have ever known and loved

Aww, I like those games.

 

[ArkhamJester]

The legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, this is considered the greatest game ever by many reviewers, It simply isn't it is a very good game, but simply not the greatest.

Yes, he's asking about personal preference, which games YOU would consider overrated.


OT: Fallout 3, I played for about 3 hours and haven't gone back.

 

[The Rockerfly]

ITT: People who think they are edgy by saying mainstream games

OT: Pacman, it's the same level over and over again. I respect it is a forefather of gaming but it's still dull

 

[velcrokidneyz]

prolly hl2 halo or ff7

Because obviously all mainstream games are good, therefore everyone who says otherwise must have an ulterior motive, right?
