I'm glad to have companions in the FF VII/OoT overrated camp.
Boutros said: I came to realize (with 11k posts and a couple of years of hard thinking) that there's no such thing as an overrated game. Games are rated the way they are for a reason and I simply don't value my opinion enough to think that it's above the majority's. |
I bow to you.

Agree with all of them.

I felt the same, but my opinion on the game just changed, don't know why. With the amazing ending, I looked back and realised how well rounded the story was and since then it's been bumped up to one of my favourite games ever.
u forgot mass effect series, good story, ok gameplay but you beat it in about 15 hours, for a single player game that is garbage. 15 hour single player game = worth $15.
uncharted 2... i didn't play the first, but wow i can't eve finish it due to boredem.. ok graphics are great, i love the story... but the platforming sections are WAY to long to be fun.
on top of that the multiplayer is... meh, co-op is ok though but not really big.
as for the op, halo is great but the problem with the series is halo 3, ODST and reach. halo 1 and 2 can be top 25 games of all time.

TP came out EIGHT years after OOT. OOT pioneered the adventure game genre. Your first comment makes no sense.
Metroid Prime was perhaps too cerebral for you. Sorry, it stands as the greatest Gamecube game ever and perhaps the best of its generation.
SMG is... you know what nevermind.
You obviously have something against Nintendo's games.
Uncharted 2 is the most overrated Game of all time for me.
The same with the God of War IP, Uncharted and God of War are Demos graphics Demos, both good graphics but boring gameplay.
Ones I disagree or have a comment on--
Halo Series
I can understand saying the series but you make it sound like Halo: CE wasn't a remarkable game. It was, it pretty much changed the way we play FPS games. You could argue that people have gone overboard copying it but that is hardly Bungie's fault (unless you want to fault them for making a game changing game). Other than, the Halo games continue to get respected because they're extremely solid games.
Ocarina of Time
This is another game that changed everything. It was revolutionary in every way when it was released and that's why it's highly rated, not because it could contend with the big hitters today.
God of War series
Same with Halo, except God of War wasn't really a game changer. It was a solid game but it wasn't much special. I have no idea why people rant and rave about these like they do.
Bioshock
Yup, you're the only one.
All in all, it's almost like you're asking for these games to be perfect or amazing forever. A highly rated and respected game doesn't need to be either of those things.

Me something against Nintendo games? You don't know me at all then.
Ocarina, well, I guess I just don't have the nostalgia factor, I got it in the virtual console and it wasn't as good as I expected.
Prime games were boring, I guess I could say I have something against FPS.
SMG was great, I said I liked it a lot, but it didn't have a long lasting impact.

1) Multiplayer is why most people love the Halo series. And let's not forget that it largely set the bar for console FPS - Goldeneye and Perfect Dark came before, but have you really seen them emulated? 2) Remember that it's 13 years old, and think back to how games looked and played back then. 3) This is just about the most commonly acknowledged overrated game ever. I don't think anyone even likes it any more. 4) You're not alone on this one. 5) Oh no you didn't. It is well-told, and it is engaging. It's the story of a man who gave up everything in his eternal quest for power, and lost the only thing in his life that he held dear to him (his daughter). It's about how he filled the void with violence and made vengeance his life's goal. It's about how he finally finds peace. The gameplay, unlike that of pretty much every other hack and slash, is free of that high score garbage and general pretentious nature. It's easy to learn, yes, but not every game has to be so unreasonably difficult that you want to throw your controller at a wall (I'm looking at you Ninja Gaiden). You don't have to press seventeen buttons to activate a basic combo, you don't have to roll every half second to avoid being killed by bats, you can just use gruesome and over-the-top violence to decimate enemies. The level design is fairly standard, but the graphical design that accompanies it is top-notch. The boss fights are not especially common, but those that exist (the proper ones) are brilliant. You can't tell me the Cronus boss battle wasn't epic. And no part of the game is cheap. It is happy with being easy and enjoyable. No other game can use visual design and setting so effectively, other than perhaps Uncharted. That is why it is so well loved. Also, violence and sex minigames. 6) Nobody really argues that Call of Duty campaigns are any good, though they do have standout moments. It's all about the multiplayer. 7) Yes, you are the only person who thought that. The controls were the same as the controls for any first person shooter, and the whole vita-chamber thing means that you can't even really die. It is, nevertheless, an exceptional game. Yes, it takes inspiration from System Shock, but it has an amazing atmosphere, a genuinely enjoyable twist on first person shooter gameplay, and a great twist. |
You should have been more agressive and insulting towards the OP.
I agree with all your points 100%.
these overrated threads are stupid any game that is successful will be called overrated because theres no game in the world or thing that every single person likes
