We've had this thread about ten times haha.

Final Fantasy VII of course, Metal Gear Solid 2, Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII and Gran Turismo.
Pretty much anything that's big on Playstation...
Also, Mario Sunshine, worst main Mario game ever (?).
All the Smash Bros. games, fun with lots of fan service, but overrated.
Lost Planet, ok game that sold like a great game.
DOA series, weakest major fighting franchise outside of Mortal Kombat.
Resistance and Uncharted, good games but they are overrated.
Perfect Dark series, Goldeneye was better.
Banjo Kazooie series.
Killer Instinct, makes Mortal Kombat look good.
Pretty much anything big from Rare, except Goldeneye, Viva Pinata, Kameo (rated accordingly).
I've got to disagree on Sunshine, mostly on the basis that lots of people don't actually seem to like it that much. How then is it overrated? You have to go back to SMB2 (or even SMB2j!) to find another main-series Mario game people think as little of.

Also, IMO the first Perfect Dark was the shit. It was definitely superior to Goldeneye.

No comment on the rest, except to say that apparently Killer Instinct isn't/wasn't a major fighting franchise?


As for myself, FF7 and Halo 2.  Bioshock to some extent.  Actually I don't see Halo 3 as that overrated anymore; around launch people were calling it the best game of all time but that silliness has died down AFAIK.  Unless there is an ocean of xbots I'm not seeing (and there probably is) ...

Oddly enough, I think Portal is overrated a little bit.  Don't get me wrong, the game is exquisite, but some people talk about it like Jesus Christ could reincarnate as a game developer and try to make a better game for his whole life and never come close.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
