GTA is a FPS? But seriously,people love half life for the story and puzzles and people love Halo for its innovation, deep story, and awesome mulitplayer.

Over hyped to fuck, and didn't pay off.

Warhammer Online.

My god was that over hyped.

Age of Conan too.

And how long did we last before someone said Halo? 3 Posts?

They are right, mind. MGS is also very overrated.

Fable 2. Now, I know it has a lot of detractors, but it still received some glowing reviews. Overall, though, I just don't see the appeal. It's an interesting game engine that's crippled by lack of interesting or challenging content.

GTA isn't an FPS, nor is it standard. The series has begun to decline however.

Half-Life has a story? Seemed like the standard zombie and cop killing fun most FPS games sport. I wouldn't call Halo "innovative" and while the multiplayer is good, I don't think that instantly makes it worth the hype.

Yeah, yeah, see my edit. San Andreas was good, but number 4 concentrated far too much on "realism" and then failed there as well. The only thing I love about it is flying out of my windshield or jumping from as high as possible. Oh and the story is much better than that "gangsta" BS in SA.

Call of Duty War at World. I laugh at it's redundant and the irrelevant zombie mode. "Hurr durr it's a WWII game but with zombies!" Don't see why it's map packs are the top downloads on PSN.

Yep, I didn't finish it though, I got to the part after the city full of zombies and got tired of it. I liked the cop guys better, much more entertaining and they made beeping noises when they croaked.

Well, to understand you gotta play the first one or read its wiki, even though the first one isnt worth the 10$ because its really boring honestly, id rather play Doom or Marathon any day.

Any of the fucking HALO games. I personally never really got the Super-Smash-Bros games so I'll put them up there too. MGS4 is a cert. WOW for obvious reasons, (I say that as a non-WOW player, I just hate the damn thing.) Eve Online I to the the whole online experience was very disapointed with, I muched prefered Freelancer for that particular genre. Saying that, I'm not really into the whole 'Online Experience' so maybe I'm just a hermit.

However, none of them hold a candle to how much Resident Evil 5 shat itself all over my living room floor.

Skies of Arcadia for the Gamecube. I understand that it was the only jrpg on the system at the time, but damn. It's got the longest most boring battles and the highest encounter rate of any jrpg I've ever played. That plus the typically horrid voice acting and almost deliberately uninspired weapon design (our attack-defense method incorporates elements, so let's make every weapon a translucent primary color) ruined it for me. That said, I played it late in the GCN's life cycle and 3d games do not age well.

That said, FFVII takes the cake by default. It's a great game but no game can live up to the hype this title's got surrounding it.

I don't wanna say it but .. World of Warcraft. It's too cartoony and the community is just plain stupid and horrible.
You are not alone, glad to know someone else hates this game.

WoW, Far Cry 2, and to an extent Crysis (the story, not the game itself)

Ninja'd on all but Crysis, as far as I know.

Halo

Definitly Halo.

Not trying to hate on halo just to hate but really it got like crazy ratings all over the net and in all the magazines and everyone that played it at the time like hailed it as the 2nd coming of christ and it would change my views of pc gaming being better... so I played it. And I was like ummmm.. its an FPS? Its just an FPS.. there was nothing.. I repeat.. nothing special about it. And I still would rather play Unreal Tournament.
