Forums - Gaming - Most Overrated game you've ever played

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! I mean, really. All of the characters controlled the same except for their 2-3 special moves. As good as Street Fighter 2? Not even close.

people that dislike the half-life series aren't real gamers and have no sense of taste in life at all.

i just wanted to get that out of the mind =P.

on topic : GTA4

 

Just to clarify, I didn't say i disliked the Half-Life series, just that it is over-rated.  I tend to enjoy them.  Single-player great, multi-player a little disappointing.

well there is your whole point. the magic behind HL isn't the multiplayer..it never was and no sane person will ever state that. The single player, and then especially the story and physics, before all copies and stealers was incredible for that time

FFVII overrated by fans not reviewers
MGS2 I should have stopped here, who cares if I missed MGS3..I'm not specially fond of 4 either.
Kingdom Hearts gameplay is very boring, I decided to read the story off some sites, YES READ!
FF12 and FF10-2 overrated by reviews much better RPG games out there
GT3-5, I loved GT1 skipped 2 and decided to play 3, I quickly learned that I no longer like this franchise
Rockband - Above 90 score? WTF, if this a 90 game GH should be 90 and so should DDR and the rest.

Honestly I could go on.

Yup... I did that with KH: CoM, that game, in the gameplay department, is pure, raw. shite.

Final Fantasy VII by far. I have never seen such a below par game get heaped with such praise. I was a huge Final Fantasy fanboy when the game was released. I played through it twice trying convince myself to like the game but I had to face the awful truth. Final Fantasy VII was atrocious. If Final Fantasy VII didn't have Final Fantasy in the title I would have never forced myself to finish the game. The story was terrible, the gameplay was dumbed down, the graphics were only good during battle, and the sound was quality was poor. Throw in an emo protagonist along with the worst antagonist in series and you get the most imperfect storm in my gaming life. The worst part was that I couldn't say it was some crappy side game like I could with Mystic Quest.

There are other games that I feel are overrated. Halo 1, GTAIV, Majora's Mask, Oblivion and MGSIV all come to mind. The difference between those titles and FFVII is that those games are good games that overrated. FFVII was/is a D- game with AAA reviews.

Edit: Acevil, reviewers universally called FFVII the best RPG of all time and gave the game 9s and 10s across the board.

But if you see the ratings: FF9 got rated higher, I also think the reason behind some groups saying it is the best, is to appeal to the huge fanbase of Sephiroth and Cloud fanboys.

Also I totally agree with you.

Pixel Art can be fun.

wow looking over this thread the halo hate is strong really how were you disapointed by it especially the first one, i can buy you through the second and third one failed to live up to hype. but the first one, god that was a great game in its time and still fun to this day.

the gta hate is fine, ill even buy into the ffvii personally i liked it, but i understand it was a major break from the prior series game.
