FFVII

Okay, people need to stop telling us games they dislike. This is about games you like but think are overrated.

This is mostly aimed towards Senlis and sabby_e17.

Jade Empire it's a decent game but not one of the best original X-Box games of all time its in my top 50 games on the X-Box but its definitely not a top five game like most critics claim.

Chrono Trigger.

I had fun with it and the music was solid. But the game was far from what many people made it out to be. The gameplay was dull (Final Fantasy 1 gameplay with combo system) and if you visited one place in the era you've seen pretty much everything there is to see. All places look the same.

I also think Mario Galaxy and Infamous are overrated. Just pointing out why I think they are overrated.

This is still for games that you LIKE that are overrated... Please read the opening post.

O-O I did also enjoy both.

Uhh, what? You said that both of them bored you. How can you like a game you find boring?

Oh, I've ran into so many of these over the years, so I'll just list some of the more recent ones.

Bioshock - Was supposed to be something that revolutionized shooters, and ended up being a watered down steampunk version of System Shock 2. Still better than most grey/brown shooters that come out nowadays.

Mass Effect - Would've worked a lot better as a miniseries than an actual game. Liked the universe, liked the characters, liked the setting, but the gameplay... When you spend hours reading the codex entries and conversing with the characters, but start running through all the action sequences midway thru the game because you just don't want to do them anymore, even though your victory is a foregone conclusion, you know the game's flawed.

Dragon Age: Origins - It's Neverwinter Nights: Special Edition with Biowares homebrew rules. 'Nuff said.

What comes to mind at the moment (and yes, I'm aware this is about games we liked but think are overrated):

Killzone 2 (words cannot stress my disappointment, even though I do enjoy it).

Halo 2 and 3 (the first one was just mind-blowing, but I didn't see a huge leap from its sequels).

Street Fighter IV.

GTAIV.

Chrono Cross.

Gears of War 1-2.

I can't really think of anything else at the moment.
