What video games do you think are highly overrated? Personally, I think the #1 overrated video game of all time is World of Warcraft. I even wrote an English essay about how much I despise that game.
Another game I think is fairly overrated is Fable II. It's not a bad game, but I don't think it lives up to the original Fable.
Final fantasy 7.
While I admit, its a good game, I think a lot of people it was also there first along with the 3D and new gen, blah blah. But worst of all the fan boy of Cloud and Sephiorth. @_@
WoW, and I play it. I have not logged on for about 3 weeks now. Bored.
A handful of First Person Shooters. Boring, boring, boring, boring boring.
FFVII
Where should I beginn? Fable, ok I only played the third part, but I think the first one can't be that different I like it. I'd rather like playing to the story of Twilight than to this and when the "decision-screens" popped out, I really had to laugh, because of the scheme "press x to be evil press y to be good". But I'm going to play the first one, maybe it's better.
Fable 1 was a helluva lot different than the other two.
Fable was an actual RPG.
Fable was fun, and had amusing humor, along with a clearly defined and unique art direction.
WoW is so disgustingly overrated. If I have to hear some whiny little kids brag on how awesome their lvl 80 whatevers are after raiding so and so I will shoot myself in the foot and green blood will get all over everything.
It was great for, like the first three games, then Modern Warfare came out, and it lost its uniqueness.
I've played COD 4,5,6,and 7. The only thing that changes is the idiocy of the players, and the names.
I've also always thought the newer Final Fantasys were overrated, but I've never played them, so I'm not very justified in that.
CoD. It's all the same:
Campaign: Some evil Russian (which slightly irks me that they ALWAYS have a Russian bad guy) is trying to destroy our way of life.
Multiplayer: Bull****. Total Bull****.
Mass effect 1 & 2 Yeah there's a lot of story and side missions but I just didn't give a **** about the story and the gameplay got repetitive.
Gears Of War: Yeah the gameplay was a bit better then most games but not enough to generate this much hype.
Zelda. This is just my personal opinion and if so many people see something that I don't then I must be the one who is wrong but I think this game series is mediocre and boring.
Assassin’s Creed 1. Fun for about an hour and then it's boring and ****. not putting 2nd game and brotherhood up because I can see they are at least trying to make them better.
Grand Theft Auto 4: Fun for about an hour until you realize you have less freedom then the last game. Where are my cheats that allow me to jump off buildings and live? Where are my flying cars? Where is my sandbox game?
YOU CAN'T EVEN ****ING CAR SURF. Plot was ok though.
Killzone 2. the only thing I could see why people liked this game is because it looked good. but it didn't. it looked average as hell.
Mario galaxy 2. I have never been more disappointed of a game in my life.
don't get me wrong, it's not a BAD game. it just that I got sick of Mario galaxy 1 before i got the 120 stars on Mario, much less Luigi, and this was just more of the same. whats worse is that this game gets PERFECT 10/10 scores, where as some of my favorite games ever, like tales of simphonia, custom robo, ect. (look them up!) are so under rated that no-ones ever heard of them.

"hello there other game, what is that you are standing on?" "well, it appears to be the bandwagon."
Coming from an ex wow player (had 2 max level characters, was in a good raiding guild, etc etc), I will tell you.. WoW Is very over rated. Call of duty, halo are both very over rated.

Your thoughts?

Seriously. I liked the first one, but it gets ridiculously boring halfway through and #2 is more of the same ****.
A handful of First Person Shooters. Boring, boring, boring, boring boring.

How is half-life overrated? I think its a very underrated FPS compared to some crappy FPS games like Call of Duty.

Click me or I'll die!!
Minecraft is Fascinating
-A six hour long campaign.
-A buggy, unpatched, no beta tested multiplayer.
-5 year olds and overpowered perks.
-Camping up the ass.
Really, what the hell is the value. And Black Ops is even worse!

Bioshock. Havent played this, but it just looks like another FPS.
Every call of duty game ever. See above about "just another FPS." Bonus points for having one of the worst fanbases I have ever had to put up with.
