What game do you think is the most overrated?

Strubes said:
So you've played it to deem otherwise?
Well, with how awesome the ones between VII and XII I've played, I'm just dying to play XIII. >_>
 
It's one of the highest selling series of games. I'm sure it's not underrated. They keep making a new one every year too. I just think it's overrated. That's all.

It could very well be a hell of a lot better. Don't judge it until you have played the game.
Eh, the earlier ones didn't leave a good impression, so nah.

Thankfully, they seemed to have stopped making console ones for all I know.

Final Fantasy series
Zelda series
WoW
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
GTA series
Halo series
Most people have been disappointed in the Zelda series as of late, namely FSA and TP.

:lol

Are you serious? Firstly, you haven't even played it. Secondly, you can't judge a single entry, based on the entire series. Thirdly, it hasn't even been rated yet. I didn't realize a game who's rating doesn't exist could actually be overrated. :lol

It has a lot of hype around it, yes, but not a single person outside of Square has even played it. It's like me saying the next Zelda will be overrated, when we don't have even the slightest clue what the next Zelda will be like. My god, fhq.

Over rated doesn't have to mean numerical ratings, it could just as easily be too much hype, or early proclamations that it's instantly going to be a good game.

And you have no idea it won't be a good game.

It has no sales, as of yet. It only has hype. You can say you don't understand the hype, but I simply can't accept someone saying a game they have never played, a game that won't be out for at least another year, is overrated, or even overhyped, because there is no way for you to know if the game will meet expectations.
 
And I have every right to say I don't want it and I think it's already over rated, because I didn't like the ones as of late.

Sure, you have every right to say it. It's just incredibly stupid to judge a game on the series it's in, rather than the merits of the game itself (which are currently unknown). A game being good or bad doesn't guarantee its successors will be the same.
 
The game will be mostly the same, odds are. They won't change it up enough to be a large departure.

Let's see what the last one did shall we?

No more random encounters, no longer turn based, did a completely different story (like all of them mind you), customizations for everything, new systems for weapons, magics, armor, summons, and the like.

That isn't alot now is it? ::)

oh, Fhq I do hope you know that they are going back to the old type of games. You know where crystals were a big part.

EDIT: IF anything it'll most likely be like the old Final Fantasy's

Eh, I've just never had the same thrill from exploring a life sized 3-D RPG world. I like crushing towns as the main character while entering them. I didn't like the last games, so I'm not awaiting this one. If it turns out to be good, ok, whatever. If it's bad, ok, whatever. If I play a game and like it, I'll look forward to the next in the series, but I won't force myself to like it. The same applies in reverse.
 
GTA after vice i just got sick of the series
Final Fantasy VII and any FF game that came after it
Halo series
any Tony Hawk type games
 
even though i don't think fhq should judge this FF specially because it has many changes that he might or might not like, it's hard to force someone to play a franchise that they just don't care about, like for example crash and spyro games, i bet that most of you played the ps1 versions but don't want to even look at the newer versions (however there are still people that like them)

as for the next zelda, if eji Anouma makes it then HURRAY, i know he'll use the wiiremote as he used the DS touch screen with PH (and by the way FSA only sucks if you play alone)

it's true that some games might be overrated, but in my opinion that doesn't exists.... why? because it's the reviewers opinion if it's good or bad, we say it's overrated/underrated because we disagree with what other people say (what i think is that games are overhyped)
