Forums - Gaming Discussion - Top 10 most overrated games of all time

Agree on #7, #6 and #3. Nothing much else to discuss however...



Around the Network

- Xenoblade: Yeah, I said it.

- Ocarina Of Time: It was good for its time, but the mechanics are dated and inconsistent, Twilight Princess is superior in every way.

- Rayman Origins: What's the point of being so pretty when the level design is so boring?

- GTA: San Andreas: Never got the appeal. I think that out of my group of friends, I was the only one who didn't enjoy it one bit.

- Assassin's Creed II: It's the same over and over. It's just simply not fun.

- Super Smash Bros Melee: I genuinely enjoyed Brawl a lot more. Maybe it was less competitive, but it was a more enjoyable product and had much more content. I'm not sure why Melee is held in a pedestal.

Edit:

How could I forget The Walking Dead? I hardly consider it a game. The story is passable at best (takes a nosedive after Episode 3) and it is slow and boring to play. Seriously, if the industry starts following that model gaming is over for me.



Final Fantasy VII is probably the greatest rpg of all time, and one the greatest games of all time.
The guy who made this list is really an ultimate noob.

Because FFVII is so good, it broke open the japanese rpg gamestyle to the rest of the world as no jrpg before it.
Wouldn't have happened if it wasn't amazing. This is a fact.

FFVII and a couple other games on the PSX are the icons that spurred the PlayStation to great heights and cemented the PlayStations role as the undisputed king of consoles for over a decade.

Were is Killzone, Uncharted, Doom, Zelda, and Mario galaxy games?

I dont agree with any of them, but i guess theyre your opinions so ill respect them.

    You enjoyed  playing as a depressed Link  in a linear world that lacks any real sidequests? You must hate OoT, MM and WW since those games are the opposite of TP.

How can you complain about games that don't really try anything new, and then tell me to the face that Mario Galaxy 2 is awesome? It is THE HIGHEST RATED GAME IN METACRITIC, and it's EXACTLY THE SAME AS ITS PREDECESSOR, except that it comes with a revamped ship navigation control and more costumes. Seriously, it doesn't deserve the title of "the best game ever" (as it took the crown out of Ocarina of Time), let alone such score for a game that is the same as its predecessor. OVERRATED AS HELL.



I would add Half Life 2 to the list somewhere. I don't understand how anybody can actually think that game has a story, let alone a good one. It's a competently executed FPS with one killer gimmick in the gravity gun, not any kind of pinnacle of the genre.

I prefer Top down zelda games but i understand the appeal to people in all of them.  

That is the thing with these most over rated lists.  They are opinions but they often ignore that they appeal to other people besides themselves.  That is afterall why these games are popular.

  The only reason TP even gets some praise is because it borrows a ton of stuff  from Ocarina of Time. That is the appeal of the game besides the wolf gimmick which I am not a huge fan of.
