What is the most overrated game you've ever played?

[Nick]

Someone did. Check first page.

Well I guess it's worth mentioning again haha

Yeah but most RTS's really don't get alot of hype these days also, apart from Starcraft 2, which rocks! But I guess I'll leave that for another forum lol. And well even though C&C 4 didn't get a lot of hype, It still didn't live up to the little that it got. But really left C&C fans like me with a very bitter taste in their mouths... Eyw can still taste it..

Oh and Did anyone mention Final Fantasy XIII yet? I really didn't know what to think about this game. It really didn't feel true to Final Fantasy to me. I cant really explain why, But it just didn't deliver. It took way to long for the game to open up and it actually felt if I was running in endless hallways from one to the next. Only waiting for another over dramatic cut-scene..

Check my post earlier in the thread.

I like Ico. Really. I think it's a great game. But... it's not thaaaat "work of art" that evebory says. Some people compare him to Zelda. Ok. Imagine Zelda, without items, the Princess is with you, and both of you are trapped into a huge dungeon. Here go.

Fight with the shadows is a pain, the control in that part is terrible. Some of the puzzles are very creative, but are ruinned by shadows coming out of nowhere. Dont get the wrong ideia from me. It's a great game, but, it's not pure gold.

I would choose FF7. too overrated haha

Ico is fun, but nothing special. SotC, on the other hand, lived up to all the hype as far as I'm concerned.

SotC is the definition of epic. The game is incredible. Let's wait for The Last Guardian.

I like what I've played of SotC, but I gotta say... Shit gets pretty tedious pretty quick.

Back on-topic, before this thread is moved off-topic - Assassin's Creed is another one for me. Played it for a while, and while I agree it's a pretty neat game, it's just really not THAT much as it's hyped to be. I'll give them props for designing a fantastic engine for climbing all over stuff, but there wasn't much else to it

I sorry about with i say now... but i think The Sims series is overrated too. I mean, it's a simulator of real life! I play games because on him, i can be a warrior, a mage, a dragon slayer, or the boy from prophecy who saves the world! I dont want play a game when some of the objectives is brush my tooths and take a dump. And there's like 200 bilions of expasions, with add some dogs or luxuary furniture. I mean... c'mon!

I'll give my two cents over FF12. Because FF7 is already given..

[garrendesares]

lol sad, cant go one page without mentioning ff7. here is one ff11 just because the darn thing was mostly online and it was a bad mistake, i really hate it when they make a game mostly mmorpg.

I think one of the cool things about SotC it's the game end before get boring.

Inb4 this thread turns into a massive orgy of fanboy bitching/butthurt.

Anyway. I like FF7, but even I can realize that it's overrated. Also: GTA4, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Bioshock, Halo, Dead Space, L4D. Most of these are not actually bad. Just overrated. Which isn't the same.

Thanks for bringing this up, people seem to think otherwise and then they start with their butthurt rants.

I'm somewhat reluctant to mention Kingdom Hearts, mostly because I haven't finished it yet. But I'm like 13 hours into it and I've yet to see anything mind-blowing.

To me they're like girl-only RPG's or something, because all of the girls I know who play stuff, love KH to death, and guys are pretty much meh about it.

Ontopic: The World Ends With You, I keep hearing it's the second coming of Christ in JRPG's, and for the NDS, but damn, I got bored quite quickly at it and I loathed the quasi-Squall like character.

Just gonna throw this out here, there`s a difference between overhyped, overrated and worst (I think )


just so I dont get off topic, imma say CoD.

To me, it really just seemed like a game mainly geared towards kids/young teenagers. *shrugs*
