Most overrated games of the current gaming era

[Spieggelmaus]

That's right folks, here you can take your rage out on all the pretentious games that you've wasted money on. So go ahead and vent your bile at unfair advertising in the sterilized environment that is this thread.

To start the ball rolling I propose Prototype, I know it's probably not the most overrated but it's advertising sucked me in and left me with a sore wallet and a bad taste in my mouth.

You might want to read the guide lines. This is a flame wars that just needs a spark.

RE 5, Gears of War 2, Assassins Creed, and many more but iv'e turned them in so long ago I forget.

Gotta be Mirror's edge. Seriously, it got so much hype in the beginning, but, when I bought it, I was disappointed at the way it turned out. Plus, I saw through the one twist in the game about 20 seconds in.

Halo 3 and Gears 2. They are good, but they are not epic and do not set new standards for their respective genres

What twist was that?


my vote goes to halo.
Wanna talk about hype when halo 3 was about to be released you would have thought that space aliens and Jesus worked together to produce a game that came with 4 free hookers, 50 tons of gold and a magic lamp...

I have never seen a game get so much press... EVER

I wish this site had other font sizes so I could write the word Halo larger.

Dear god that game gets so much press and is so over-rated.

Its a decent FPS with a strong Multiplayer Mode Emphasis...nothing new or interesting about it.

 

[Rayansaki]

The answer to this is too obvious, Halo3

*sniff* I think I smell smoke...

Nothing is overrated, people just have differing opinions.

 

[LordKraven]

Halo 3, it's short, limited, repetitive, and very boring. Even the multiplayer was worse, it's always CTF on big map one, or team death match on big map two.

 

[Fraught]

Most overrated, huh?

*puts thinking hat on and starts thinking*

*thinks*

Killzone 2.

#1
No More Heroes: It's either the worst game ever or the most pretentious game ever. Either way, I can't understand how almost every critic gave it a thumbs up. Perhaps it would've been deserving if suda 51 was able to really capture in minigame form the wonder and joy of mowing the lawn, picking up litter, and pumping gas; y'know because that's really what the wii needs.

#2
GTA4: This was at least a good game. Not exactly up to par with last gens gtas and not exactly deserving of the rave scores it got either.

#3
MGS4: Sorry nothing snappy here. I just couldn't stay awake. It did look very nice though.

Metal gear 4. A poorly written movie claiming to be a game.
Half life 2. An adequate game that Valve fanboys proclaim to be the second coming.

 

[Broady Brio]

Besides the repeated titles above me.

I say Fallout 3. BEFORE you go apeshit at me, I fucking love Fallout 3. It's just didn't live to the hype it had.

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Spore. Dear god SPORE. That is all.

I would say Halo, but considering the amount of people hating on the game, it's kind of becoming underrated at this point. It's no where near the best, but everyone treats it like it's the next E.T.
